THE DAYS OF CIVIL WAR.

Tin memory OF the old soldiersD
Dear friends and dear old soldiers
What | shall write is true
The times have changed since we
were young,
Way back in sixty-two'
think il was in sixty-One,
do not know the day,
There was a call for volunteers
And you were marched away.
You had no fear TO go to war
For you were young and gay;
You did not care to face the foe
Before your hair was gray.
was just little girl,
But | remember well
The sadness that came into our hearts
'Tis more than | can tell
Fathers, brothers, gone to war
And we were left in dread;
No father dear to comfort us,
No one to make us bread
In sixty-three the war grew worse
There came a conscript law;
Took all the men of forty-five
In dear old Arkansaw.
When | look upon your silver heads
And know the trials you bore
You had to stand in snow and ice
And face the cannon's roar.
Our houses burned down to the
ground
And we were forced to go
Out in the cold to make our beds
Upon the cold white snow.
Our stock all gone and food all gone
| tell you it was sad;
We did not have one bite of meat
No, not one bite of bread.
In sixty-fiye peace was declared,
We watched with fearful eye
To see our loved ones coming home
To no more say goodbye.
Now we must lay aside the war
And you must love your foes
For there is one who reigns above,
Our God, our Father knows.
love to meet my dear old friends
That shared our mourning days
No greeting like there welcome
No homage like their praise.
Our God, our Father give us peace
And let us live in love
That we may meet in that bright
home
Where all is peace above.

THE ROMANY BLOOD.

Like a sea in storm or a stream il
flood
Riots and rushes the Romany blood,
My soul leaps out with Memory's
swing
And blends like "set in Rhyme"
When gypsy camps by village edge
Were fashioned for pass-time
While gaudy van with painted side
Wound through the shift and change
OF broken fields and country roads
For marks of higher range.
The running stream and stepping
stones
That led me to this nook
Where murmuring voices soft and low
Seemed caught in babbling brook
Where willows bending over near
To curtain streamlet's breast,
Did all unknowing find the goal
OF which I'd never guessed
Old crOnes were sitting by log-fire,
And crooned in tender wise
OF Fortunes Turing while their Art,
Received a goodly prize.
And black-pot hung on handy crane
The waiting supper steamed
While strong men prone upon the
ground
OF goal and housing dreamed,
All drafty houses they ignored
And Freedom steadfast kept
AS beckoning call from Natures
woods
In open widness crept
And in the shadows of the night
Great sudden fears had caught
The swelling of the child-like heart
BY gypsy love untaught.
Then gladness was attuned to key
Now thoughts on Memory's chart
Are mingling, mingling, held in thrall
BY visions Of the heart
Just made, not marred, by yester
years
When wheels went round OF ways
As travelled ancient mysteries
Encamped with closing days.

provisions for the two regiments of
the Arkansas troops for July cost $14,-
323.4S. And they had something to
eat besides corned beef and cabbage
and black coffee. In fact, they Jared
sumptuously every day, if one may
judge from the quantity and variety
of provisions consumed. Statistics are
dry, but that is the only way to Wis.
ualize how well the Arkansas guards.

M|DDLEMAN NEEDED
IN FRUIT BUSINESS
Marketing Expert Discusses
Function Of JObbers
and Retailers

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 13.-"Th av-
erage middleman is performing a vital
economic service as banker, an as
sembler and a distributor of fruit and
produce" said G. Harold Powell, gen
eral manager of the California Fruit
Growers Exchange, in an address be
fore the National League Of Commission
Merchants here today.
"What is needed" continued Mr..
Powell, "is less radical discussion Of
the middleman and better mutual un-
derstanding of the problems Of the pro
Queer, the jobber and the retailer to the
end of developing a better working re
lationship in solving the big problem
that effects us all:-that is, wider di'
tribution of the rapidly increasing fruit
and produce crops"
The California Fruit Growers Ev
change, of which Mr.. Powell is general
manager, has a membership of 5000
growers and ships the famous Sunkisj
brand of oranges and lemons. Mr. Pow
ell is recognized as an authority or
citrus fruits and distribution, and based
his statements upon the exhaustive mar
leting investigations recently conduct
ed by his organization.
A few years ago, when Distressing
marketing conditions forced the citrua
growers to band together, they solved
many of the questions which had pre-
iously inflicted themselves upon the in
dustry. Today 65 per cent OF the fruit
from California IS 100000 acres of citrre
groves is handled through this eX-
change.
"For several years." said Mr.. Pow
ell, "the exchange has been making {"
scientific study of merchandising prac-
tees as we'll as production and market
ing costs. We now know the cost Of
every step in the distributing process
from the time the seed is planted to the
time the fruit is delivered to the con
sumer's doorstep With these facts be
fore us the citrus industry recognizes
the economic necessity of the jobber
and retailer in the distribution of its
products to the 100 million people Of
this country. Our ideas Of cooperation
are now being extended to the $500
iobbers and 100000 retailers who han
die oranges. and lemons in this counr
try.
"As far as the popular clamor for .
reduced cost of living is concerned We
believe that the PRINCIPLES upon which
the exchange is organized are funda-
mentally sound Statistics show that
its business methods are the most econ
omical of those applied to the market
ing of any agricultural crop in the coun-
try. We have minimized the cost Of
supplying fruit to the iobber in the
countrv's markets. We will work with
the iobber and the retailer in an effort
to secure better mutual understanding
and to build up a bigger and better
and therefore more economical business
on perishabe products. Only by this
means will California tremendously
increased shipments of oranges and
lemons be distributed to the people Of
this country in a way that is satisfac-
tory to producer and consumer alike"
