Can You?

Can you put the spiders web in place
That once has been swept away?
Can you put the apple again on the bough
Which fell at your feet today?
Can you put the lily cup back on the stem
And cause it to live and grow?
Can you mend the butterfy's broken wing
That you crushed with hasty blow?
Can you put the bloom again on the grape,
And the grape again the vine?
Can you put the dewdrops back on the flowers,
And make them sparkle and shine?
Can you put The petals back on the rose?
If you could. would it smell as sweet?
Can you put the flour again in the husk.
And show me the ripened wheatP
Can you put the kernel again in the nut.
Or the broken egg in the shell?
Can you put the honey back in the comb,
And cover with wax each cell?
Can you put the perfume back in the vase
When once it has sped away?
Can you put the cornslk back on the corn,
Or down on the catskins, say?
You think my questions trifing, dear.
Let me ask you another one:
Can hasty word be ever unsaid,
Or deed unkind, updone?-Ex

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFIT.TAKING

Speaking of the hlgn prices prevailing
in the shoe industry, the New York
World SAYS:
There has never been a monopoly in
this industry. II has been among the
most competitive of the country's great
manufactures. That is apparently true
today, although symptoms Of concerted
action may be detected among the sup.
pliers of shoe material
What we seem to have instead is a
psychological condition, created by the
war; Of which some manufacturers and
jobbers are taking the fullest advan.
tage, while with multitude of retail
dealers a rich field is opened for charg.

There is little question Of the accur.

THE AMERICAN MELTING POT.

Wichita OkasJ Beacon: In these days
when the government is calling our men

foreign born, or native born Of foreign

forth in figures compiled by the Equit.

York
The last census shows that Of these
adult males
"a per cent are foreign born whites.

"sOLDIERs OF FREEDOM

Buffalo News: President Wilson'S
message to the selectmen of the draft
who come into the service Of the nation
at this time is well timed and calcu-
lated to inspire that body Of men.
As the president truly says, The
heart of the country is with them"
These thousands Of soldiers who have
been raised by the operations of the
draft are drawn from the national inner
circles, so to speak.
They come. many Of them, to give the
mother country their first offering in the
way of service.
1t should be to them an hour Of ex.
allied feeling-the privilege of serving
their country.
They have been selected to fill the
nations need and it is in the spirit Of
service and sacrifice that they answer
the roll call of duty
The hearts Of thousands of mothers
and fathers will be searched as these Sc.
lected men go forth to their task.
There will be tears and fears. But
there will be an undercurrent of pride
and love that will make the day when
their sons march away one Of consecra.
tion.
These boys will be the parents loan
to liberty-the tribute of consecrated
love TO sacred cause.
The young man selected serves no
more than the father or mother, the
wife or the sweetheart who gives him
for service.
But we realize that democracy means
equal duty as well as equal rights.
And as we see men registered, select.
ed and reporting for duty we see the
beginning of a new era-the setting up
! vi a new standard.
And long after the guns have ceased
to fire long after the cause for which
we fight has triumphed. the principle
Of that which we now do will flourish
to glorify American history and the an.
