her skidding because her tires were
badly worn. She has dozen daily

noxious smoke, Along her stately
way proceeding, she camly hits her
eight-mile gait, and nothing tempts
her into speeding; she always keeps
her head on straight. Along the road
she doesn't thunder, with roar and

Our Weakly Hit

Don't you want to 60 where skies are sunny!
:. Don't you want to go where there's cheer!
Come along it's easy to sip once more the honey
Of sweet lips that always spoke you dear;
Put on your old dreams again, lad,
With nary bit of sin, lad,
And hitch your heart to visions as they bend,
And in fields of glory
Will repeat the olden story
In the Land of Let's Pretend
Come, come, come and be wise with me
Come and be happy today
Met with the girl with her hair in curl
Was it Myrtle, Rosie or May?
Let us 60 Maying, fancy is free;
And make believe joys never end
1t dreamer you be
You can sail with me
Way down upon dream lit river
To the land of Let's pretend.
Let's go where the outlook is brightest
See the ship is leaving Dismal Bay;
Come abroad where hearts are the Eighties,
To happy dreamland we will sail away;
And old acquaintance be renewed
The handclasp of friend
And we'll drink a toast to Aud Lang Syne
In the Land of Let's Pretend.

Back to the Land
BY Beau Esprita

In the streets of city l squandered my days
Seeking the ranbows fair gold;
It was futile the search, and I've wandered the maze
Till my heart which was young has grown old.
For the hustle of traffic has ravelled the edge
Of the fabric God gave me for life,
After all 1 have YEARLY travelled hedge
To my shelter, my soace from strife.
For man made the city, labor of hand,
And while rocking in novels may give life zest,
IT'S the peace of the prairie gives quiet and rest,
Through the years have striven for bodily needs
In the streets and the market place full,
While the strife so increasingly has riven my creeds
Till there's nothing left but the hull.
The city has taken my youth and my grace
Bowed the frame straight and so fair
And with merciless truth it has limned on my face
Deep lined, all the weight of it's
And the city man made, it has given me naught,
Though for years have labored and srven and fought
But the country God fashioned has best all my fears,
So it's back to the land for the rest of my years.

Much Damaged Cotton.

We have heard of more damaged
cotton than usual this year, which
is probably due to the heavy and
almost continuous rainfall through
out December, January and a por-
tion of February. How strange it is
that farmer will work hard eight
months in the year making a crop
and then throw it out IN the wealth
er unprotected! Why not profit by
the experience of others? Cotton
that is thrown out on the ground
will soon become damaged.

EGermany has cut down it's manu-
fracture of intoxicants 40 per cent.
and in Sweden strong pressure is
being brought upon the government
to prohibit potatoes and corn being
used for the production of strong

Every Canadian patriot should
lrise up and demand that for the love
