ToDAY's BIT OF VERSE
A DEAD SOLDIER.

~
He sleeps at last-a hero of his race,
Deadi and the night lies softly on his face.
While the faint summer stars, like sentinels,
Hover above his lonely resting place
IA soldier, yet less soldier than man.
Who gave to justice what soldier can-
The courage of his ARM patient heart,
And the fre-soul that famed when wrong began
Not Caesar, Alexander, Antonne,
No despot born of the old warrior line
Napoeons Of the sword, whose cruel hands
Caught at the throat of love upon its shrine
who worshped in the sweeter years
Those rights gained with blood and tears;
Who led his armies like priest of men,
And fought his battles with anointed spears.
George Edgar Montgomery.

BRINGING HOME THE BACON

When the time comes that the work is done
and our boys help in bringing home the
bacon'' they will in one way be but reciprocal
ing, for Just now we are sending them the
bacon in quantities never delivered in similar
time periods before Even to us 1T IS surprls-
ing that we could find and deliver so many hogs
in a single month as went in poundage to our
army and navy and to our allies IN July, last
In that month nearly one hundred and twenty
million pounds of bacon we're exported, while
in the same month Of the previous year little
less than twenty million pounds were exported.
Indeed, our present monthly exports are close
to the yearly average of four years ago. The
pig also goes abroad as hams and picked pork
and there seems no doubt that the porker Is
doing his bit as diet for our soldiers and sailors
Along with the pork export in July went beef
in various forms to the total of eighteen Million
two hunred and thirty-four thousand, two hun
dred and twenty nine pounds 1t helps some In
meatless and semi meatless times to know that
our soldiers and sailors are eating it.
By the way, what has become of our old and
energetic friend, Sir Julian Byng? For long
time we had INDUCED the hope that ere long
we should hear of his byngin' on the Rhine, but
it begins to look as if Black Jack Pershing
would have the first whack at that historic and
picturesque stream.
