HOW WILL IT SEEM.

How will it seem when Peace comes
 back once more, After these desperate days Of shat
 tering pain? How will it be with all of us again. When hushed forever is the thunder of
 War? There still are primroses ty many
 shore; And there still bloom, in many
 lovely lane, Hawthorn and lilacs; and the roses Is red against full many a garden
 door. Oh, days to be! Oh. honeyed nights of
 sleep, When the white moon shall mount
 the quiet sky! Shall we be wholly happy when the
 buds creep, Remembering those who dared to
 bleed and die? Can we be glad again? Or shall ws
 weep
 For those who told this sad. glad world goodbye? Charles Hanson Towne, in Harpers Magazine for April.

 ABOUT NAVY CERTIFICATES.
Registrants May Claim Certificate from Board Under Certain Condi- tions.

Governor Holeomb received tele- gram this week from the war de- partment in which it was stated that the navy department had complained that registrants.- were denied certifi- cates from local draft boards to en- able them to enlist in the navy. The telegram advised the governor that any registrant should be given a cer- ti1cate to enlist in the navy when his order number was such that he would not be needed to complete the current quota or to fill deferred percentages, but that outside those two reasons for refusing the local board had no dis cretion but to give the certificates Copies of the circular will be sent to local boards by the governor.

 vision:-
 The demand for comfort bags is so urgent for the men leaving for camps and cantonnlents, that we have decid- ed not to wait for the issuance of the new edition of the pamphlet A. R. c. 4o2.
 As this is an emergency call and not a monthly allotment we are asking 1 your chapter to proceed at once to produce 300 comfort bags. You are re- quested to furnish the comfort bags las rapidly as possible until this al- l lotment is complete. We are sending with this letter sheet showing items which are to be included. These con- ltents have been officially approved by l Washington after conferences with lcamp directors throughout the coun- 1 try.
 1 The bag itself should be similar to our No. 1 in the original pamphlet on Comfort Kits A. R. c. 4e2. except l for the fact that the housewife should lbe a separate roll which is dropped in to the bag with the other articles and not attached to it.
 Rery truly yours,

POETRY
OVER THE TOT.

 Over the top by day or night, To battle for the truth and right; While kindred hearts are made to feel A measure of their faith and zeal
 Over the top they go Over the top they go as one To grapple with the ruthless Hun And teach him that he is fool,
 rule.
 Over the top they go. Over the top with fearless eye They go to do and dare and die; And pay the price that heroes pay Who rightly serve their age and day.
 Over the top they go. Over the top they seem to hear The cry of the helpless far and near; And voices from the briny deep Call to them as they lie asleep.
 Over the top they go. Over the top they gladly go,. Tn hoRor's name to fight foe That has no heart or soul to care For other people anywhere.
 Over the top they go. Over the top in faith and trust. Till the power of might shall bite the
 dust: And every nation then shall be Beneath the smile of heaven free. Over the top they go,
 Christian Goodheart. Ottumwa, Iowa.

LEGHoRNs SET NEW
 HIGH WEEKLY MARK
Pen From Seymour Produces 59 Eggs
 in Seven Days.

In the twenty fourth week of the laying contest at Storrs a Connecticut pen of Leghorns entered by George Phillips of Seymour set a new high mark for weekly production in the present competition. Up to this time Massachusetts pen of Rhode Island Reds held the weekly record with a yield of 5S eggs. The Connecticut pen has now set this aside and pushed the mark up to 59 eggs. Chas. H. Lanes Rhode Island Reds from Southboro, Mass, were in second position for the week with a yield of 57 eggs. Albert T. L.enzen's- White Rocks from North Attleboro, Mass. and Deer Brook Poultry Farms Rhode Island Reds from Short Falls N. H., tied for third place with 54 eggs each. 4 pen of Barred Rocks from Massachusetts, an- ] other from New York and a pen of Leghorns from New York all tied for fourth place with 5 eggs each. The total production for all pens was 406S a yield of 5S per cent.
 Early in February the food admin istration issued an order prohibiting the sale of live or lately killed hens and bullets. This order known as Rule 14 threw little scare into the poultrynen of certain sections. This | rule was to have been in force until | the first of May; it is. however now rescinded nearly two weeks earlier than at first planned. This fact, how ever. should not have any appreciable | effect on the amount of native poul- | try offered for sale: the broilers are 1 not yet ready and the hens and pull lets are laying too many eggs to think of. selling them; furthermere if every one rushed to unload the minute the ruie is removed. such action would in itself tend to upset the market. l The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:

Turcoing seems inevitable as the re-
suit of this gain. On the left the Bel
gians are approaching Thourout, only
twelve miles from Bruges and within
twenty miles of the Dutch frontier.
There are signs that the Germans
realize the days of their occupation of
Belgium are numbered. They already
have begun the work of destruction
in western Belgium. According to in

are preparing. to get out of Bruges
