AMERICA TO HER ALLIES

Free lands beyond the water.
To you song l send
A song to men from the lover of men
Te friends the faith of friend.
Hail now to Holy Russia!
Holy in more than name.
Holy as man is holy
And she has owned his claim.
Hail, beautiful Italia,
The spirits cline and home!
Glory above the Caesars fall
On free, fraternal Rome!
Hail France, whose bloody travail
Has brought again to birth
The soul that made the "Marseillaise"
The trumpet of the earth!
Take blood for blood o gallant France,
Full measure for our debt!
Reap, till the golden bins run DER,
The sowing Of Fayette!
Hail the stout hearts of Flanders
That to their sand-dunes cling!
And hail to him, on his realms las
rim,
The king who is a king.
Hail to the starry banner
Above Westminster walls,
And her anthem. rolled with the pray
ers of old
Through the arches of st. Paul's.
The candles on the altar
With brighter flame shall burn
AS the hearts of the sundered millions
To the ancient ties return.
Fight on, free lands for freedom!
Freedoms in every blow,
The freedom we bear they too will
share
Against whose gates we go.
For the crowned and cruel liar
In the sun there is no room,
And our hands are charged with
thunder,
And our feet are shod with doom.

SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE
DOING BIT" TOWARDS
FOOD CONSERVATION

The Domestic Science classes at the
Summer Street school are entering
upon vigorous campaign in the
conservation of food. While the pres
ent time OF the year is not what is
termed the canning season., enough
material Is available so that the girls
may learn how to can food and later
put that knowledge to more thorough
test when the crops are harvested.
The "cold pack" method of canning
as advocated by the government is
the process which the girls are learn
ing. This method il in use by all the
Boys and Girls Canning Clubs organ
lied under government supervision.
The boys and girls of the ST. Johns
bury Public Schools have recently
organized one of these cubs. known
as 1.-THE Boys and Girls Wide Awake
Home Project Club"
The interest aroused by the instruc-
ton in canning was plainly manifest
ed last Monday when each seventh
grade girl brought in a five quart pail
Of dandelion and cOWslip green's
which she herself had gathered, and
then proceeded to can them. The
cans. also, had been brought from
home, making the fuel the only item
of expense Off the lesson. 1t is the
aim of the work to teach the girls to
use what they have at home, and
thus make the canning as inexpensive
as possible. Fruit cans from the fam
ily supply are utilized. The use of
sugar at it's present price is avoid
ed as much as possible. Then each
child is allowed to buy her products
at the bare cost of the material used
Thus, Il practical course in arithmetic
is involved The boys have contri-
buted their share towards the work
by making part of the equipment
used by the girls.
The introduction of this course in
practical canning. is especially appro-
pirate in the present food crisis. For
it is hoped that through these girls
who are taking domestic science the
housewives of the community may be
assisted in their efforts to conserve
the food supply. Visitors are cord
tally welcomed at any of the classes
at the domestic science kitchen at
the Summer Street school, and classes
in canning are in session practically
every hour of the day throughout
the week.
The recitationS are as follows:
Monday 100 to 400, Portland st.
7th. and Sth.
Tuesday 900 to 400, IA, 7B, SA.
