Just outside of Turin is
! great building that used to be a
farmhouse. Now 1t is home for boys
and girls who are not strong. They
are children OF the very poor and If
they remained in dark houses and did
not have enough TO eat, they would
never get well.
The officers Of the American Red
Cross went out TO the farm recently
and saw the children go through the
drills that Will give them strength.
They made a brave showing In their
red shirts like small soldiers of Carl
baldi, and It was easy to see by the
look on their faces that they intend
ed to win the fight they were making
to be strong like other boys.
or course they were told about the
millions Of children, members of the
American Red Cross, who are helping
on the other side of the Atlantic and
who send with their gifts. their love to
the children of Italy whose fathers
have been In the war for three years
against cruel enemy--the enemy of

Ode To The Year 1917
BY James A. leishn,an

And chronicled events, much vaster
Than the bygone years. and tinged
with pain,
The threnody Of which exceeds the

And left its impress on a suffering /

Yet Divine Providence is always kind.
And would that all mankind might |
dwell in peace 3
Enjoying much the bounties Of His

mortals pass
With no control Of ours. they must
be due
To greater powers than ours. wheth-
er good or bad,
The sequel often points their moving
cause,
II good results, then know We whence
they come.
In academic parlance 1t is said,
Coming events casts their shadows
before
In mercy to a watching world, that
lest
Their happenings might disarm our
reason,
And appal us to helpless amazement.
Events have telescoped events anon,
And their shadows heralded their
coming,
Involving the logic OF effect and
cause
The happenings of the ages makes
the roll
And substance of the annals of the
world.
And through IL all a CLEAN Of light
is seen
Illumining the pathway which we
tread. for
Man was not made to wander here

For his lack of wisdom and intelli-
gence.

How Adam in a garden chartered

Began the reign of law auspiciously,
