AT CONCORD BRIDGE.

BY the rude bridge that arched the flood
Their flag to ApriPs breeze unfurled.
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the
world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps,
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward
creeps
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today votive stone,
That memory may their deed redeem
When, like our sres, our sons are gone.
Spirit that made those heroes dare
To die or leave their children free,
Bid Time and Naturetgently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

was there any ringing of the bell. The

 At yesterdays meeting at the Hotel Pines, Manager Fred Hoyler of the Western Union told of the work of his company and of its efforts to help messenger boys; w. L. Jones, district manager of the Southwestern Tele- phone company, described the efforts of his company to live up to the Ro- tary motto of "service," and gave an insight into the company's work ings by stating that in his dealings with his organization he represents the public "Our rules are not al- ways understood" he said, "but they are made with a view of bettering the service. If there is rule we have that we cannot justify to fair mind ed person, we'll change it," said MT. Jones.
 Howell L. Westbrook discussed the grain business, declaring that the sit uation will grow very serious if the war lasts any length of time. He ex- pressed the fear that the South, which imports annually $7,000,00O worth of food, will never grow enough to ship to other sections. and emphasizes the need for increasing the food produc- tion, especially of crops "that will keep" such as corn, potatoes, wheat and other grain.
