New Idea for Boys and Girls OF
the United States School
Garden Army.
Who IS SOLDIER YOU KNOW?
Name the Little Plot for the One You
Think Of When You Hear Them
Singing 1.-THE Long, Long
Trail"
By WINIFRED BLACK.

(TSrom the Department of the Interior)
There is a new idea in the United
States school garden army. It's this:
What are you going to name your
own little plot of ground, little sister,
If you are lucky enough to have one
of your own in your back yard?
What are you going to call your po-
tato patch, brother, you with the
bright eyes that weren't so bright the
day you went down to the station to
see big brother Off with his regiment?
Oh, yes, you fell in behind the SOL
diers and kept fine step to the music
of the band and held up your head and
felt big enough and strong enough to
march a thousand miles and take
million German prisoners-but when
he had gone and you went home and
mother put her arms around you and
laid her head on your shoulder and
asked you to help her to be brave
something queer happened to your
heart and you have never felt quite
the same since, have you?
And now they are beginning to tell
you in school about Russia and what
rich country it is and how much 1t
will mean in food If the Germans real
~ get possession of it-and at home
sometimes your grown folks look pretty
serious and you wonder if it could be
possible-no, it isn't, and you are go
ing to help make it impossible. You
and those strong little brown hands of
yours. You and your brave heart and
loyal soul. You and your war garden
that you are cultivating for Uncle Sam.
What Will You Name Your Garden?
You'll have good luck with your gar
den or good success with it. There
isn't much luck in the garden business.
It all just SINNERS down to hard work
and the right kind Of care, and it is
going to be hard work, too.
There will be hot days when your
back aches and you want to go swim
ming; and cool days when your knees

The world has glimpsed a vision
1t shall not lose.
Not hatred nor derlsion
May disabuse
The nations, wronged and wronging,
Misled, misunderstood,
OF their deep human longing
For brotherhood.
Love Is the only healing,
Music that blends
All discords, light revealing
Foes as friends.
New flies our youth enrapture
To strife that shall not cease
Until their glad hearts capture
The Prince of Peace.
They shall return with singing,
Whether they come
In flesh or spirit, bringing
Their prisoner home.
Courage and faith have bound him
Fast in a shining chain;
The blossomed thorn has crowned him,
Beauty from pain.
Goal of the toilfng ages,
No longer far!
On through these battle RACES
Leads the star.
At last for a decision
They fight in mortal feud,
Brute Force against the Vision
Of Brotherhood.
