ONWARD FOR HUMANITY.

snow-white and rosy-fngered morn
Speeding the hosts of night,
Heralds a new Memorial Day,
Its cohorts armed for right!
Out of the dawnings rnists come wraiths
OF those who our standards made,
And find nation, grim and set,
Ready and unafraid.
Shame that the morns must come blood
red
Shame that men stiIl must die,
But the fight for peace is a world-old
fight,
And the price of freedom. high.
Then onward! No time now for Stacking
or tears,
Till the cause of humanity's won,
Till oppression is sunk in the bottomless
sea,
And the need of all warfare is done.

Ask Your Grandmother About 1t

This IS the year Tor drying produce.
There promises to be a shortage of
sugar, a shortage of glass jars, and
a shortage of nearly everything re-
quired for preserving stuff. The thing
to do is to dry it. Drying apples,
corn, peas, pumpkins, and in fact al
most everything to eat was especially
practiced after the Civil war. Who,
of any age above middle life cannot
remember when home dried fruits and
corn and peas tasted about as good
as anything could taste? Ask your
grandmother if she ever dried apples
cut 'em up in thin slices and strung
'em on strings suspended from the
rafters in the upstairs room where
the kitchen stove pipe runs. Shed
tell you laws many a bushel"
