A SOLDIERS PRAYER

Now / lay me down to sleep,
| pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Grant no other sailor takes,
My shoes and socks before ! wake.
Lord guard me in my slumbers,
And keep my hammock on its num-
Der,
Have no chains or lashings break,
And let me down before l wake.
Keep me safely in the light,
And have no fire drill tonight,
And in the morning let me wake,
Breathing scents of Sirloin steak.
God lprotect me in my dreams,
And make this better than it seems,
Grant that | may cease to roam,
And rest myself in home sweet home.
In snowy feather bed,
Where ! long to rest my head,
Far away from all these scenes
From the smell of half done beans.
Take me back into the land.
Where thew don't scrub down with
sand,
Where no demon Typhon blows,
Where the Women wash the clothes.
God, then knoweth all my woes,
Keep me in my dying throes.
Take me back, I'll promise then,
Never to leave Home Sweet Home

Make Shoes Of Aluminium.

Owing to the increase In the cost OF
leather, which has been on the upward
trend for years, there has been a de-
mand for some substitute that will
take its place to a certain extent in
the manufacture of shoes, and In some
parts OF the country there has been
received with favor shoe partly made
Of aluminium. The use Of leather is
not dispensed with entirely, for there
is yet considerable entering. into the
shoe, but the sole and counter, the
parts most subject to wear, are made
of the metal. The hard usage of the
shoe comes on the heel and sole, and
in the case of the aluminium the wear
er walks on the heel and a rocker,
across the sole of the shoe, which parts
are renewable and may be readily re-
placed without sending the shoes to

said to be much more economical on ac-
count Of the increased service secured.

most Of the Injury due TO stored-grain

Breeding sows are at a premium.
and the demand for young stock Is I'M
precedented. The hog buyers state In
their reports that they are compelled
to take anything that looks like
hog. The fiuctuation In the number Of
hogs In the United States is subject
largely to the fluctuations In the fnan-
cial condition Of the country. The
high prices paid for hogs are big In
ducement to farmers to market their
hogs, and as stated before. the high
prices of corn caused them to cut loose
during the latter part Of the year.
The high prices paid for hogs and an
export trade are the two
main factors which make the hog bust
