Stealing From Soldiers
tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Cannot some action be taken to warn
poor people who have boys at camp about
sending packages by express? Candy is
eaten, tobacco stolen, and in many cases the
packages are never delivered, and the ex-
press companies seem to do nothing. Thou
sands of dollars worth of good stuff sent to
poor BOYS is wasted every week through such
things happening.
This must be true when from Eagle Pass,
Tex; Rockford, H.; Spartanburg and both
camps on Long Island letters begging people
not to send Thanksgiving eats" by express
are received. | do wish something could be
done 1t is pitiful to hear the stories of poor
mothers who have sent gifts to their boys
only to hear that they have never been re-
ceived. Do, if possible, see what can be done
You have so much more power than most
of us. TEANA MLENNAN.

the consumers are discouraged from buy
ing or the health of infants is endan-
gered. The two go hand in hand. What
is left becomes practically the question OF
distribution costs, at least so far as New
York City is concerned. If these can be
reduced by the limitation of competition
between large concerns here which dupli-
cate equipment and routes, or by any
other method the wisdom of the commits
sion can devise, an adjustment can with
out doubt be made which will satisfy
both dairymen and consumers.

A Service Flag Issue

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The question came to me to-day from
a neighbor whose brother has been killed in
France, What shall | do with my service
flag? Some one says TO drape the flag; some
one else that | must take out the star" II
occurred to me that, as this question will nee
cssarily arise in many instances, it would be
best to have some good authority answer it.
Can you help US, and publish the information
as to the proper etiquette to be observed I'M

Disfranchise Conscientious Director

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why cannot we have in our country
legislation such as the House Of Commons

franchise to conscientious directors?
Why should any one retain the sacred duty
Of citizenship who does not love his or her
country enough to uphold it,

Now, while the foremost are fighting
and falling,
Fill up the ranks that have opened
for you!
You WlCm the fathers made free and

Sta.u not the scroll that emblazons
their fame!
You whose fair heritage spotless de-
scended,
Leave not your children a birth
right of shame!
Stay not for questions while Freedom
stands gasping!
Wait not till Honor lies wrapped
in his pail!
Brief the lips meeting be, swift the
hands clasping-
"Off for the wars" is enough for
them all!
Break from the arms that would
fondly caress you!
Hank! it's the bugle blast! sabers
are drawn!
Mothers shall pray for you, fathers
shall bless you,
Maidens shall weep for you when
you are gone!
Never or now! cries the blood of

Poured on the turf where the red

A blare of drums, the tramp OF feet,
light within the eye,
The flower of ten thousand years, the
Flag is passing by.
The star-made and stripe-laid banner,
see it comes
Dipping only to the breeze and dane
ing to the drums.
Bream- born of all the years of faith
and hope and toll.
Love-kissed and life-crowned by every
sea and soil:
The emblem of the Ancient Dream
that gave Our freedom birth
Lo. here before our tramping feet the
Stars are leading forth.
Above our fathers battle-storm that
constellation shOne,
1t spreads its folds above their graves
and Freedom still lived on
Through all the peaceful ways and
years, content that men might rest
Beneath its slumbering battle folds,
peace guardian of the West.
To drum beat, to heart beat the Flag
is passing by,
The symbol of that freedom for which
men were born to die;
Beneath it goes tramping from the
Southland and the North
10, God is in the whirlwind, and his
Stars are leading forth.

DOING ONES BIT

How gladly l would do my bit, if l
but had the chance: How joyfully I'd
90 and hit a Prussian with lance!
But l have spavins on my knees, a
ringbone on my wrist. and have foot
and mouth disease, and so l can't en-
list. \ lot of US must stay at home,
too lame to see the front, too old to
sail across the foam and do a warlike
stunt. And yet we need not throw a
fit, or grumble day and night, for we
can surely do our bit, although We
cannot fight. l cannot make the Ger
mans die, Or sink their submarines,
but can help the food supply by rails
ing fields of beans cannot chase the
brutal foe, and hew him with an ak,
but can help to make things go by
paying up my tax. And l can make
the kind of spiel that patriots admire
that makes the young man grasp his
steel, filled up with martial fire. And
can set examples here, and more ex'
amples there, by hooting down all talk
of fear, all dirges Of despair. Fen
though my ailments make me sit SUI
pinely all the day, methinks I still can
do my bit, and figure in the fray

SAFETY First

The city officials believe in safety
first when it comes to protecting our
water supply and community welfare.
Accordingly extra men have been de.
tailed to guard the waterworks and
city utilities. At Bismarck the city
water has been condemned because of
pollution, and we do not want such a
situation here if precaution will help
The men appointed for this work are
Valley City citizens, in every way re-
liable and trustworthy, and the money
they earn will be spent here. We do
not believe they should be withdra wn
until there is assurance that there will
be no tampering. The guards are
armed and prepared to do their active
duty in case offenders are discovered.

IF KNEW WHAT POETS KNOW

If knew what poets know,
Would write rhine
Of the buds that never blow
In the summer time?
Would l sing of golden seeds
Springing up in ironweeds
And Of raindrops turned to snow
If l knew what poets know,
Did I know what poets do,
Would sing a song
Sadder than the pigeons coo
When the days are long?
Where I found heart in pain
l would make it glad again,
And the false should be the true,
Did l know what poets do.
If I knew what poets know,

Sweeter than the placid flow
Of the fairest dream;
would sing Of love that lives ~.
On the errors it forgives,
And the world would better grow
