Is There a Man?

Is there soul in this broad land
Who for freedoms emblem will not fight
With face to foe, with uplifted hand
Strike and strike again for what is RICH,
AS our fathers did in the unforgotten past,
When Old Glory Aoated above the fray,
Or proudly waved from the shot-torn mast,
Defended by manhood that would not give
way;
l say, is there one?
Is there a man with heart so cold
That he does not thrill with fierce desire
To strike with venom strong and bold
To strike and strike again with ardent ire
A merciless foe from foreign lands
Who, to satisfy monarch's lust,
In blood would battle their guilty hands
And trail Old Glory in the dust;
l say, is there one?
Is there man so dumb and blind
That he does not feel a thrill of pride
When the Stars and Stripes are flung to the
wind,
Unfurled in beauty, to proudly ride
The morning breeze, from our native hills,
From lofty mountains or level plain,
From scenic rocks and babbling rills~
With not one accusing guilty stain;
l say, is there one?
Is there man who cannot love
Our flag, the emblem of the free,
Or feel the call as from above
And stand as firm as rock or tree
Though foes outnumber ten to one
And the battle seems a loosing game,
Who will not stand though he be alone
To uphold Old Glory's immortal name;
l say, is there oass
Is there a man, born on our soil,
Reared in contentment, plenty and peace,
Sustained by sweat of brow and honest toll,
Who has not vowed by Gods own grace
To uphold Old Glory's unsullied name,
On sea or land, in trench or field,
To strike in democracy's unifying name
And to foreign monarch never yieldl
There is not, must not be, one.
&C. L. Snidsr.

From Our Exchanges
For Liberty

They came with eyes that were dazed and
dull,
To land of Liberty;
Came to land where folks might live,
A land that was ''of the Free
They carried packs on their tired backs,
And their shoulders bent with dread;
They did not know what the land might be
That lay like path ahead.
They stayed and their eyes grew bright with
faith
With faith in their fellowmen;
And some found work with pick of steel,
And some with flaming pen.
And they challenged dread with an upAung
head,
And proudly singing soul;
For the stranger land had come to be
A road with a shining goal!
And then there sounded call, and they
Looked up from their work and knew
That dread and fear had come creeping
back,
While the signing war wind blew.
Silently then, the pick and pen
Were laid in the dust aside,
For the land was changed from a path and
goal,
To land of MEN, who died!
Their eyes looked back Ger the troubled
sea,
Eyes that had once been dazed;
And they saw hope spent and worn
Its affairs and temples RACED.
And the ones who might went back to fight,
Over the ocean foam;
And the rest bought bonds that they might
help
The land that they now called HOME!

Leaves From Our Poets.
At The Close of The Day

By the "Little Mothers" Office Boy
At the close of the day
To myself l should say
"What good have l done
What Victory wonl''
At the close of the day
/ should review the way
I've worked and played,
And what l have said.
At the close of the day
| should kneel and pray
To God: thar l may be
Kind in deed and charity
At the close of the day
For those far away
l should mingle my prayers
With my hopes and cares.
At the close of the day
l should think of the fray
In the trenches of France
And the day of advance
When Pershing's great run
Will rattle the Hun,
And our banner shall be
Sign Civilizations all free.''

can use the present channel, only about 5 per cent. of the traffic nov ing along the Massachusetts coast takes that course. This experience closely parallels the case of the Erie Barge Canal. It will be remembered that many far-sighted pubicists op
 posed the enlargement Of that impor- tant waterway at the time of its in ception on the ground that such en- largement would inadequately serve the traffic needs or the rapidly devel- oping West and Northwest.
 It was claimed at that time that the future prosperity of the country war
 ranted the construction, by the Fed
 eral government, of a genuine ship canal, of the type now proposed for the Cape Cod waterway. These views were ignored. After an expenditure of approximately 0,O00,00O today
 almost at the end of the third month of navigation, the sight of a through barge, of any kind, is almost as rare as that of a green pansy, at a time when the transportation facilities of the country are being strained to the limit Even the limited use of the k o1d-time channel has been reduced to nearly if not quite the zero point and fdleness has been the rule during most of the bakers dozen years of re-

Arch from pelvic points to the end of keel or breast bone only two to four fingers wide. Pelvic points either small, shrunken and covered with fine scales or dandruff. Ear lobes and wattles pale, shrWpken, hard and dry. Ear lobes, eyefids and beak yellowish.
 The indications of good production are as follows: @'.-'
 Vigor-Indicated by full, well de- veloped breast and body, general alertness; bright full eye; well de- veloped broad comb; short, heavy beak and work toe nails. A hen must have vigor and capacity to be a good layer. Such a hen. usually has a good appetite and goes off the roost early in the morning.
 Late mott and bleached legs-The late molter, one that does not begin to mott until after the 1st of Septem- Der, is usually a good producer. Du- ring the late Summer these hens are noticeable by their ragged and dirty plumage. The plumage of the good producer in the Winter and Spring is usually smooth and bright, giving a neat trim appearance to the fowl The legs of these good layers will be nearly white, with all the yellow gone After a hen molts she gets this yellow color back, and the color gradually leaves or bleaches as the laying sea- son advances.
 l Pelvis-Points wide apart, from t: to fingers, depending upon the breed. Ach wide apart from three tt six fingers distance between pelvic points and end of keel or breast bone

HINDSTGHT IN CANALS.
Shown in Cape Cod Ditch and in New
 York's Great Waterway.

In taking over the Cape Cod Canal with the avowed purpose of making it a true ship canal, and with the in- tention of increasing it's depth to an extent which will permit thep assage of the deepest draft vessels, the gov ernment has rectified an error which has been made apparent by the rapid progress of events during the last year. It has for some time been contended by New England publicists that this waterway, constructed prac- tically through the individual enter prise of August Belmont alone, is, owing to it's restricted depth, made quate for the needs which it is now necessary to satisfy. With the pro- gress of the war there has been an enormous increase in the number and size of both naval and merchant mar inc vessels; and tho tactical advantage of a genuine ship canal across the cape is held to have been demon strated.
 It is stated by a number Of the Massachusetts Waterways Commls- sion that, as only light-draft vessels

GERMANS FACE
 GREAT RETREAT
Foch's New Blow Shows His Power to Drive Enemy,
 U. s. Experts Say.

Washington, Aug. 9.---American Army officials greeted with delight yesterday news that the FrancO-Brit- ish forces had launched a smashing blow at the enemy on a wide front in Picardy The full extent of the thrust was not discernible in a military way at 8 late hour last night, but the out standing fact to observers here was that Marshal Foch found himself able to strike again on the heels of the vic tory at the Marne, which still is be- ing pressed.
 The supreme commander has made it evident that he has the men and means to keep up the aggressive bat tie for which American officers have been desirous. The reputation of the great French strategist is that he is the advocate of attacking the enemy without rest. He is living up to that reputation today as never before, and indications last night were that he had scored another punishing surprise blow on an enemy already staggering under the rush that swept him out of the Marne salient in two weeks time.
 As the situation is seen here the enemy TOW faces alternative opera tons on at least two fronts. Pressure along the Vesle line is being main tained vigorously, and even while the new drive was getting under way on the Albert-Montdidier line to the north French, American and British troops were hammering away between Soissons and Rheims in a way that made it virtually certain that the Aisne-Vesle triangle would be cleared of the enemy shortly and the allied l line be carried forward to the Aisne or possibly across 1t.
 | Around Soissons the French are al ready in position to outfank the line
 north of the Aisne should occasion
 offer or to swing north and east and
 menace the Germans in the Picardy
 salient in the flank and rear.
 The enemy now faces the necessity
 of bolstering up his lines along the
 bottom of the Picardy salient without delay or undertaking immediately g
 great withdrawl there. If he with
 draws troops from the Aisne-Vesle line 1t is certain he will be forced
 back there, and if he calls in the re Iserves from the north a British at ltack to fiatten out the ,Flanders sa llient is almost a certainty.

HOW TO TELL
 A GOOD HEN
Food Administration Gives
 Some Advice to Raisers E of Poultry.

In their efforts to increase the pro- duction of all foods and induce the conservation of such provender as the Army the Navy and Americas Allies need, the Food Administration and the Department of Agriculture inaugurated a campaign for 100 hens on every farm and block in every back lot big enough to give running for half dozen chickens Now st ig discovered that discretion in Keeping hens is as important as in any other line of activity and that thousands of birds, comparatively worthless as egg producers are eat ing their heads off in suburban back yards. In an effort to correct this condition and conserve poultry feeds for really worthy consumers the Gov ernment has appealed to egg patriots to get rid of stock hens and offers in formation that is really worth while to the novice in poultry keeping.
 The poultry keeper cannot afford at any time to- keep. a hen that is poor egg producer, and that is par ticularly true now when feeds are un- precedentedly high in price. The Summer and early Fall is the best time to cull the poor producers from the flock. It is best to start as early as possible removing those hens whose appearance indicates that they have stopped laying. As general principle it is wise to cull out about the first of August all hens over two years old unless they are laying or are exceptionally good breeders.
 Hens will usually begin to moult in August. The stacker hen Is an early moulter and can be readily distin- guished at this time.
 The indications of high egg pro- duction are most pronounced in Sep tember, and if the flock is to be culled only at one time; September is the best month to select the good producers. The better plan, however is to cull gradually, beginning some what earlier.
 A number of factors have to be considered in distinguishing the good from the poor layer, and certain al- lowances have to be made for essen tial differences between the small and the large breeds.
 The indications of poor production are as follows:
 Lack of VigOr-Indicated by listless actions, dull, sunken eye, small shrunken, pale comb and long toe nails. The poor producer is usually one of the last hens to leave the roost in the morning, and also goes tC roost early in the evening.
 Early Mott and Yellow Legs-Hen. which mott before Sept. 1, especially those molting in July and early 1T August, are usually poor producers These hens will usually have yellow legs during August and September as the yellow color returns to the leg! after molting. The time of moltins and the$ color of the legs are very i'm portant characters in selecting hem by their appearance.
 Pelvic-Points close together, onl, one to two fingers apart, depending upon the breed. The space between the pelvic points varies according t whether or not the hen is laying

FOE LOST 3ss PLANES IN JULY

Paris, Aug. 9-The official state meht last night contained the follow ing:
 During the month of July 1S4 ene- my airplanes were seen falling out of control inside the enemy lines of which number fifteen had been dam aged by the fire of our aircraft guns. Thus 33S enemy machines were de- stroyed or badly damaged
 In addition our airplanes set on fire forty-nine enemy captive bal looms.
 During the same month our bom- barding squadrons during the daytime dropped 194 tons of explosives and in the night time more than 356 tons, thus making total of $50 tons drop ped on bridges in the Marne Valley, on enemy troops that had advanced south of the Aisne, and on railroad stations in the region of naon, Hir- son and Bethel.

 It staggers the imagination to at tempt to conceive of the saving which would have accrued to the nation if the government had expended an ad- ditional sum in building a real ship canal, equivalent to the amount which has been expended by the stat= on the limited improvement.
