The China Asters

She gave me, as we said goodbye,
Five lovely China asters.
Why, Ger those flowers breathed l a
sigh?
Had they foretold disasters?
Now two were white and two were
pink,
And one was purple royal.
My fears soon fed, could but think
That all my friends were loyal.
If loyal be my camrades all,
What should fear from strangers?
Friends us consoie,in sorrows thrall,
And warning give of dangers.
But, in these times, consider wise,
Why should an evil omen
Disturb our peace? Why fear surprise
From crafty, hostile foemen?
Why fill our minds with vain alarms
Brought on by superstitions?
Why should our JOY in flowers
charms
be SnaQOWeO Dy suspicious.
Of innocence is white the shade,
And hope pink typ<ieth,
And kingly qualities displayed
Are where the purple fiyeth.
| Oh, welcome, then, thrice welcome be
Ye lovely China asters!
Thy beauty strength shall give to me
To fight against disasters.
In you l see the spotless white
Which, though it often plasters
The scarlet, is the tint of right,
o dainty China asters.
| And when, in shadows dark, l grope,
And fears become my masters,
o show me then thy pink of hope,
My lovely China asters.
And when all petty thoughts from me
1 wish to fly the faster,
| Thy kingly color let me see,
royal purple aster.
Sweet, modest flowers, in the air
Above me now I wave them;
o gentle zephyr. kindly bear
My thanks to her who gave them
William Francis Smith.

power the Food Administration has
against profteering, discrimination
and inequality in all lines, and the
merchant rena>as much freer to ex-
ercise his own initiative and ability
in building up his business.
But there is great argument in
favor of voluntary conservation over
and above all business considerations
one which should not be overlooked
by any retail merchant. After all
war is our great business these days
and anything we contribute to the
winning of the war is worth while, no
matter what it costs. The voluntary
method of conservation has brought
home the war to veery citizen of the
United States as perhaps no other
Governmental action has done. 1t has
awakened in the minds of the people
a sacrificial consciousness. The very
difficulties which the housewives
have had in buying flour substitutes
and in making their two-pound al
lowance of sugar go round have also
created in their minds a conception,
however vague, of the great reason
why.
Our people cannot live day by day
under the personal food responsible
lities thus put upon them without
consciously thinking of the battle
line and the 12O, 100000 Allies whom
we must feed.
1t should be the aim of every dea-
Ter in food stuffs to foster and en-
courage this war consciousness in his
customers. Nothing could be more
ideal for the furtherance of true pa
triotism than the knowledge that our
Government trusts its citizens and
permits them to be its partners and
not its children. When your custo-
mers realize that we must share our
food with the Allies as honorably and
cleanly as we fight with them, the
citizenship of Amemrica will be on
sounder basis and the world mmore
nearly safe place for democracy.

by all who knew him. His friends
were many and he had no enemies. He
was always known by the good deeds
he did. He was a faithful member OF
the Christian church and was an ell
der Of the same for many years. He
was chairman Of the town board for
several years and has been president
of the Farmers Cooperative cream
