Of the nation who conducted their
business without profit or at a loss

ments made at the first days sessions

INDIAN SUMMER
BY LAURI EvART.

When the sunset shadows are gently
falling. Z
son, purple and gold. -
Then the birds, their mates are gently
calling
When the air turns crisp and keen
and cold.
Then the leaves from all the trees and
plants are turning
To red and yellow. sable and russei
brown;
In our hearts, perchance will creep a
yearning
For spring blossoms, light as thistle
down.
We may miss the perfume Of the fra
grant flowers
And all the glories that May month
doth bring.
We may long for the gentle April
showers, but
The Indian summer is more beautiful
than the spring.
When the temples are softened by the
silver
That creeps back through the strands
OF brown or guiut
When the step has settled down to
steady flrmness.
And experience-is the story OTTER
told.
When we sit back with calm and salts
faction,
And think OF the battles we hay'
fought and won.
Hand in hand with loved one, some
times gazing
At the wonders Of a slowly settin'
sun.
We may miss the dream OF younl
ambition, .,
And the Joys that youth to us-dot
bring,
We may long for llfe's early sunshine
but IN.
The Indian Summer is more Deautnu
than the spring.

IN FRANCE!
By LILLE BAUNIANN.

God bless our boys in France today
Their lives they gave so free;
They have fought and won tie batUe
For our land and liberty.
They are coming home-God bless
them
To them who are so dear;
With open arms all wait them'
Yet Il may be a long, long year.
Some soon may be coming home
With hearts that are so glad;
Yet TO leave some friend behind them'
Their hearts will still be sad.
In the battlenelds little mounds are
left
And marks each soldiers grave;
They went to flght for our country,
Their lives they gave to save.
God bless our boys in France today
They have been so brave and true
They fought for the flag we love SO
dear,
So. pray for those who are over mere
Across the deep, blue sea;
For they have won the victory
For you-for you and for me.
