CHILDREN DID WELL

THE boys and girls of this local
ity, at least, did very well last
night when they refrained from
scattering corn and flour in their
Halloween revels, as has been the
custom for years. On the West Shore
the school pupils took their corn to
school and gave it to their teachers
TO be ground into meal, and the pro-
ceeds used for charitable purposes or
WAR work. Many bushels of grain
were thus saved that otherwise
would have been wasted. Here is an
Example of the way the young peo-
ple of the country may help win the
war when their efforts are properly
hirected.

LOVE LIGHTS THE WAY

Dream little dream of love, some
times,
Don't fret and toll all day;
Some cash in hands a splendid
thing
But love must light the way.
Throughout the changing years let's
leave
Some trace of love and song,
And count it well If We achieve
Some joy as we go along.
Dream a little dream of love, my
friend,
Somewhere along your way;
Treading lovelit path through life
You cannot go astray.
So when the fever and the fret
Darken the clouds above
Into the troubled moments let
One little ray of love.
Dream a little dream of love, and
then
When life is near the close
In the cool shades of evening, love
Will blossom as a rose.
And round the dreamer's heart shall
fall
A radiance of cheer,
For love will triumph over ALL
III We but dream it here.

Sandy McTavish was a highly
skilled workman in a new aircraft
factory.
Therefore, 1t happened one day
that Sandy was asked If he would
care to accompany the works avia-

machine.
Sandy, after some hesitation,
agreed to do so.
During the fight the aviator
asked how he was enjoying it.

Scot. Il wad rather be on the

the result should be that banks are
to take bonds as collateral at the

telligents and conservative" subordi-
mates have put upon them for the
purposes of the balance sheet, the

MEADOW FAIRIES

When twilight falls and all is still
Ger woodland, meadow, dale and
hill,
When moonlight silvers grass and
brook,
There is a rustling in each nook,
There is a stirring in each flower,
For 'tis the fairies waking-up hour,
a faintest Ginning as of bells
Drifts far and near in field and dells.
Each fairy fay with shining face,
In dress of dew-bright, cobweb lace,
And little elves in silvery sheen,
Then circling, dance out on the
green;
To music that is tinkling sweet.
And then on tops o. thistles go
A-riding where'er breezes blow.
And so the elves and fairies play
Out in the meadows till it's day.
At the first pink sunrise hour,
They hide again in fern and flower.

Newspapers outside of Philadel-

Nelopments in the Supreme Court
with the greatest interest, realizing
the effect of the decision. Some Of
the papers call for prompt action
and others regret that the crux of
the light on the value of nomination
papers had to come so close to cleo
tion day.
The Philadelphia Record gives
this plain statement of the issue as
raised in the Supreme Court: The
specific appeal was taken in the
Forty-siXth ward case, but the prin-
cipal will apply to a number of other
wards. 1t is not known, however
whether any effort will be made to
hold up action in any ward beside
the Forty-siXth and Twenty

fight in the Supreme Court will hinge
on the Interpretation put by Judge

An estimated increase of $1O,-
600, 600 in the annual charges for
operating the Philadelphia city gov

The annual budget making seems to
have gotten some of the taxpayers
stirred up.
According to people who have
been in Reading there is about the
hottest campaign possible on in that
city. The Socialists have organized
very strongly and are making a drive
to get control of council, while men
active in the two old parties have
united to prevent it. The new party,
which is working under the nom
partisan law, is known as the Ameri-
can. 1t is explained that the course
was necessary because of the open
Socialist movement.
