But fingers and gazcs. till full On his sight
a second lamp in the bclfry burns,
a hurry of hoofs IN 4 village street
\ shape in the moonlight. a bulk in the dark.
And beneath. from the pebbles, in passing. a
spark
Struck out by a fast stecd flying fearless
and fleet:
That was all. And yet through the gloom and
the light.
The tate Of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that steed in his
flight
kindlcd the land into flame with it's heat.
lie has left the village and mounted the steep.
And beneath him, tranquil and broad and deep,
Is the Mystic. meeting the ocean tides:
And under the aldcrs that skirt it's edge.
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the ledge.
Is heard the tramp Of his stccd ms he rides.
Ii was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge into Mcdford
town.
He heard the Growing II the cock.
And the barking Of the farmers dog.
And felt the damp If the river fog
That rises after the sun goes down.
1t was one by the village clock
When he gaIloped into Lexington.
lie saw the gilded wcathcrcock
Swim in the moonlight as he passed.
And the meeting house windows, blank and
bare.
As If they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.
Ii was two by the village clock
When he came Ia the bridge in Concord town.
lie heard the bleating If the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the trees.
And felt the breath Of the morning breeze
blowing over the meadows brown.
And one was safe and asleep i'm his bed
Who NJ the bridge would be first To fall.
Who that day would be lying dead.
Pierced by a British musket-ball.
How the British regulars fired and fled
How the farmers gave them bali for bali.
From behind each fence and farm-yard wall.
Ihaslng the redcoats down the lane.
Then crossing the fields To- emerge again
tnder the trees ~ the turn II the road.
And only pausing g fire and load.
So through the night rode Paul Revere:
And So through the night went his cry IF

a cry If defiance and not Of fear.

And a word that shall echo forevermore.
For. borne on the night wind of the past.

Final Warning On The Food Situation

The National City Bank Of New York
has sent the following to it, correspond
ent banks and the public:
In our monthly bulletin we have repeat
eddy pressed upon the public attention the
gravity of the situation which now con
fronts the world in the scarcity of food
supplies, but we would not feel that we
had done our duty if we did not utter a
final word of warning and of appeal upon
the subject. The situation grows more
serious n spring advances and the disas-
ter to the winter wheat crop of this coun-
try is understood.
All of Europe-neutral IA well as war
ring countries-has been placed upon food
rations to exc ont supplies until the new
crop l. harvested. This country entered
the present crop year last July with 1884,
100000 bushels of wheat carried ovct
from the crop of 1915, and in 1916 pro-
duced 4S2. 000, 900 bushels Of winter wheat
and l5S.O0O, 900 of spring wheat: total
supply, sO4. 000, 900. This year there will
be practically no wheat carried over and
the governments estimate upon the winter
crop forecasts "A yield Of only i30,0 900. 900.
TN this basis the spring wheat crop must
be 3l4, 900. 900 bushels larger than last
year IN order To give us a wheat supplv
equal 10 what We will export and consume
IN the crop year now closing. This is an
alarming outlook. The spring wheat crop
Is VIGOROUSLY subject to weather condi-
tons. More spring wheat should be sown.

but It doubtful if the wheat shortage can
be made up. Other food crops must be
grown to meet the deficiency.
lhis country J. now III war. and our
allies, Belgium, Great Britain, France and
Italy are dependent upon IL for food.
lhey VIII have no reserves and must have
more from u in the coming year than in
the past, or they will not be able to feed
all their people. Added to the appeals of
starving humanity will be military reasons
making II impossible for lis 10 put an en-
barge upon the expectation Of food. We
must divide what we grow this wear with
'hese countries, and with the neutral coun-
trleS-Hoiland, Denmark. Norway. Swed-
en-, Switzerland and Spain-which are not

only must we supply enough to keey these
