In the turmoil Of existing conditions
in the United States and in foreign
countries, we do not appreciate the fact
that we are piling up data that will be
used in telling the story of the great
est war known to the world, in ancient
and modern history. that will swallow
up the smaller wars, of which we have
knowledge, and will load down this
government with a war and pension
debt that is inconceivable in its vast
proportions. The loss of life in Eu-
rope is unparalleled. The use of sub
marines and air bombs was never heard
Of before this time. The destruction
by shells is beyond compare and the
devastation of great buildings can never
be estimated as to historic value The
world has gone mad in thirst for blood
and greed of gain.
And what the future will bring to
us and to the islands of every sea is
there is revolt in all lands and the
enemy is strong and prepared, and the
end will be surprising in its aston:sh-
ing details, of settlement and possible
compromise.
The United States is fighting for
Democracy and to overthrow Prussian-
ism. but there is a king on the English
throne in close alliance with America.
In the final wind-up royalty may dis
appear, but the English king and the
future of the British government is
involved and will have very definite at
tention. We are surely making his
tory.

What am ! but a weedlet,
Young and slim and green and tall
Waving here where soft winds whisper
BY the southern garden wall;
Not a rose that blooms and bushes,
No lilly stem with pale bowed head
Just an onion pure and simple, -
known by perfume that | shed
Yet they love me, so I fancy,
For while yet dew weights the flowers
Oft they come to tend my culture,
In the glowing morning hours.
And some day they'll Eft me gently
From my rich warm earthen bed,
Tie me up. with myriad others
To the rafters of the she'd
Just an onion, green and growing
What for IL will the future bring;
Will they choose 1t creamed or scalloped
Picked SLICED or picked string"
Or VIII small brown hands purloin it.
From the rafters overhead,
And the band of school-kid Migrants
Make il entree with corn bread.
Or will some French chef disguise it
Till the gardener. who il grew,
Would not dream that rare rich viands
Were the onions that he grew?
Just an onion ripe and juicy,
with a perfume long and strong,
There are many things they tell us
In your past life that are wrong.
You have parted wives and husbands.
You have poisoned lovers bliss,
Just because no living mortal
Likes an onion scented kiss
There are school ma'ams run distracted
BY the lunch pals onion filled
And many thousand babies
BY roast onions almost killed.
But we love you little onion.
Bravely waving fresh and green,
Down there in the Southern gardens,
Clothed in sunlights golden sheen;
For you've been our friend--a good
one
Through the spring of many years,
And you'll ever touch our heart strings
For you always bring us tears
