RE.REIeN OF COMMON SENSE.

When a fellow gets to thinking OF tn
! times so lately past,
1t gives you most an awful jolt-a feel
in quite aghast.
| OF things we had and things we done
and no one said us nay,
And Uncle Sam. the good old sport
he let us have our way.
Whene'er we asked for needful things
he gave them with good grace,
Kind O. lavish-like. indulgent-like, il
ante-bellum days.
Why just few brief moons ago, ere
he was titin' mad,
We Scooped the sugar in our drinks
no limit we have had,
If biscuits, buns and bread were left
we'd carelessly consign
Them straightway to the garbage can
or throw them to the swine.
No branny brown, or whole wheat loaf
would e'er to us appeal
But lily, chalky, fluffy white, consid-
cred 1.-THE genteel'.
The M. d. gave warnin note, long,
long fore Hoover's ban,
That human stomachs must have bulk
of hull and husk and bran.
They said "You can't, with best of will
on natures plans improve,
Go back to her unfactoried fare, Twill
to your health behoove".
But NO, the modern housewife said,
mo matter how we feel,
1t wasn't quite the thing" you know,
wocn,t 1srTho ropfoop
The dresses Dode and Betty had of
silk aud lace and crepe,
All colors of the rainbow gay, and
each some other shape,
A Score of geOrgette waists, they'd
count, for summer. spring and fall
Evenin, mornin'. travelling gowns,
and every social call
And hats, O! save the hour, go ask the
dad of sweet sixteen,
Quite oft you'd find the fires out, Gel
lar bare and larder lean,
But then it was the proper thing, it
had the ring of THE genteel".
Our boys with utter disregard for gas
or cost of power,
Would speed their f1ivvers night and
day, some fifty miles per hour.
Not much concern they had for crops
or comm rainy days,
With Dad is rich and Ma don't care"
they hit rapid pace.
With shoes and suits and shirts ga
lore, for state occasions they'd
still DECLARE,
They hadn't thing in the wide world
to wear.
o! war, thou cruel hellish son, art
thy grim mission mere expense?
Or is thy loss Unidentified, in bringing
back good common sense?
1t is sure hard to comprehend, for
mans untutored finite mind
That, blessings come from down be-
low, that thou hast countersignad,
Yet every single bloody war, has help
ed us common scrubs,
this will come a brotherhood
of warm and human touch.

OUR BEAUTIFUL FLAG

One fine day in February, Bet
sly Ross said to George Washing
ton:
Il am going to make you a flag
for your birthday"
George Washington was very
anxious about that flag for he.
wanted a flag for the colonies.
Betsy Ross started to make the
flag. She decided to make it red,
white and blue; six white stripes
and seven red stripes for the thir-
teen colonies with rectangle in
the left corner made of blue with
white stars. But before she had it
made, Washington came to visit
her again. She was cutting pat
tern for tie stars. Her pattern had
six points, Washington said:
You have six points on the star
pattern. Stars only have five"
But Betsy was not so sure. So
Washington hunted for all the pic
lures of stars. that he might show
Mrs. Ross, stars only have five
points. She had a hard time to
make a star with five points, but
she did.
She worked and worked to fiar
ish the flag on the twenty-second
of February At last it was fin
ished. IL had taken lot of work
to make it for all the stars had to
be stitched down ON the blue rec
tangle and the stripes had to be
stitched together.
On February the twenty-second
she gave the flag to Washington;
a beautiful flag 1t was, too with
thirteen stripes and thirteen stars
In the corner.
She gave it to Washington but
since then we have had many 9TH
er states to come into our union.
For each new state we added
new star until we have 48. 1t is a
beautiful flag to see.-Maebelle
