SPRING IS HERE.

SPRING IS HERE.
I've been told by my teacher
Whom / always must obey
To write piece of poetry
On the Spring that comes in May.
Now / never could write poetry
Not even a single rhyme
So I'll tell my story quickly
As | must be through in time.
It was March the twenty-second
The day dawned bright and clear
My clock began it's ringing
So / knew that morn was near.
I got up and closed the window,
With no more colds to fear
But l sneezed, md then / stated,
YES, the Spring is really here.
One of the boys of Grade 9B who
knows thing or two about the dissat
isfaction of people who grumbIe at all
sorts of seasons and conditions of
weather, wrote his verses under the
title of when One Is AS Bad AS The
Other" in the following vein:
In summer when it's hot
In every blasted spot
And it seems to burn up your bloomin'
soul,
Oh. how you do boiler,
And pull off your high collar
And wish that you were up at the
Mort. Pole.
And then when winter comes
Your coal bill upward runs,
plumber,
You eat food from a can
And cuss the weather man,
And then again you start to wish for
summer
Miss Anna II. Mankin composed the
following on Spring:
At last Old Winter has fed away,
with all it's ice and snow;
And now comes Spring with it's gen
tie rains,
To make the flowers grow.
The birds have returned from the
sunny South
With notes of joyous cheer;
For gentle Spring has come again,
The happiest time of year
All of the efforts are good, and some
| especially show cleyerness on the
part of the pupils Miss Kent is to be
congratulated on the excellent ma
| terial' of her class in English, all OF
whom are children.

THE NINTH GRADE
FALLS INTO VERSE
Students Of Miss Kent's Class
Given Versifying For An
ENGLISH Lesson
English Lesson.

Pupils Of the Ninth Grade, B. of the
city public schools, Miss Clara Belle
Kent, teacher, were assigned new du-
ties q few days ago in their English
class. The teacher conceived the idea
of having the class write poetry"
something entirely novel to the stu
dents
The subject assigned was Spring, -
and bare half hour, or less, was the
time limit. The result was really
pleasing, for the most part, and it de-
veloped that the boys and girls who
thought themselves up against it
had some latent talent in this line.
The following are a few of the. re-
suits. One of the younger boys, James
TrautWein, who seems to have been on
on the side of Josephus Daniels when
Annapolis was made dry wrote for
his Spring poem. the following:
with the season of spring,
At one last breath,
Annapolis was blessed
BY Barleycorn's death"
Miss Virginia Mutton, daughter Of
Capt Mutton, the Commandant of the
Midshipmen, who did not think she
could write verse, got a perfect mark
for the following clever effort, which
she composed and handed in in twenty
minutes:

nice little compliments by officers for
their patriotic offer, and the officers
volunteered to take them in their own
automobile to the United States re-
cruiting office, with the remark: I'VE
are here through the courtesy Of your
government to recruit our own sub
jects, and it would be an act of dis
courtesy to your great country to en-
list you in the Canadian forces with
|out first giving you an opportunity to
enlist under your own flag. However,
If you then profess preference to en-
list with us, we will welcome you"
Now, that is the spirit of democracy-sa
keen sense of the rights and privileges
and duties of others. And an equal
sense of responsibility that we do not
|transgress the rights and privileges
and traditions of others. And it is
this lack of respect and toleration for
the rights of others on the part of au-
tocratic governments that will always
stand as menace to the peace and
dignity of every democratic form of
government The former is govern
ment by one man, the latter means gov
ernment by the people. The. former
imposes laws automatically on its peo-
pie; the latter, the people themselves
create laws and our constituted author
tiles merely govern by consent of the
governed.
The history of the ages has shown
that there has always been a tendency
on the part of monarchs to aggression
and domination. to crafty personal
ambitions, without any decent regard
to the suffering and priyations of their
subjects. In the case of republics.
there is no permanent ruler with per-
sonal ambitions to crafty, hence there
is no incentive to extend territorial
boundaries at the expense of some
neighbor. And it is fact that prac-
tically every war in which a republic
participates is due to troubles within
its own boundaries, and not with it's
neighbors.
Hence we are justified in the deduc-
ton that If autocracies like Germany,
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey could be
cast into the political junk heap and
democratic forms established, that the
greatest menace to the peace of the
world would be abated. And summing
up briefly the cause of America enter
Ing this great conflict. would say that
we are in it simply because it would
be fatal to keep out of it. Our very
existence as nation is threatened.
The German Kaiser desires the world
to be at peace only after Germany is
in complete control of the entire world,
and then like Alexander OF Macedon,
the Kaiser would weep for more worlds
to conquer.

actual confiscation, and II these bonds
are not absorbed from time to time as
they should be and as they can be. If
we all come across and do our duty as
we should. and not wait to see the 9TH
er fellow do first. then the next ex-
pedient would be to levy additional
taxes. and in all possibility the income
tax provisions would be broadened so
as to catch all incimes and possibly
lower exemption to. those with depend
ents. So, again the question presents
itself in this light: Will you purchase
these bonds. allow the government to
pay you interest on them. and thus
shift a portion OF the war burden to
future generations who will benefit by
onr priyations now? Or do you prefer
that you be taxed to q considerable ex-
tent of your income and pay war ex-
IEenses as we go,s and then. after VIC
torioua peace. pass on to future genera
tions this legacy OF peace for them to
enjoy without recompense? This would
not be sound policy, and that is one
OF our weak points today. Liberty and
the pursuit OF happiness has been too
cheap for us. for 50 long time that we
have been accustomed to accept It.

woeful ignorance of the true situation.
The rich men of this country are pay
ing and making sacrifices that would
astound you IL you knew the true state
OF affairs Proportionately they are
making greater sacrifices by far than
you and /. The reason is obvious, they
have more to lose II the war should
fail us. Remember that certain classes
of men and corporations with immense
income are actually paying an income
tax equivalent to approximately so per
cent of their net earnings, and in the
case of corporations. there is absolutely
no exemption for any fixed amount as
in the case Of individuals. where sim
gle man Is exempt from tax on an earn
ing Of one thousand dollars, and q
married man exempt for double that
amount and also an allowance for chill
dren. Congress has been very painstak-
ing, careful, tolerant and circumspect
in drafting the necessary measures to
raise funds with which to prosecute
this war. 50 as to distribute the burden
as nearly as possible where it would
be least burdensome, and at the same
time Congress has presumed on your
patriotism to the extent that you are
expected to buy Liberty Bonds in suffi-
cient volume to make UP the difference
between the amount raised by special
taxes and the amount actually required
to vigorous prosecution of the war.
This is test of your patriotism. Will
you respond to it cheerfully and pa
triotically? This is the third Liberty
Loan, and there will in all probability
be fourth and fifth and maybe more
to follow later on. Germany has just
closed her eighth loan for an amount
about the same as ours.
If we do not do our duty and take
these bonds, there is but one other al
tentative, and that will be for Con-.
gress to increase taxes in some shape
or form and you can rest assured it
will be done should the necessity arise.
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, one
of our greatest authorities on interna-
tional law, has said: THE Constitution
imposes no limitation on the power Of
self-preservation. That being the case,
the taxing power Of Congress under the
constitution is without limit short OF

In the archives In Berlin there are

many's strategy In the beginning was
to crush France quickly, starve out
England with her submarines. debauch
Russia, which she has already accom-
plished with. all of its hellish detail,
and then we would be next. / realize
that Washington gave us good advice
when he warned us to beware of for
eign entanglements at that time, but no,
statesman can lay down rule of con-
duct or policy one hundred years in
advance. and we have entered this
greatest of all wars, at this time, allied
with England, France and Italy, SIM
ply because it is easier to, whip Ger
many with this alliance than it is for
US to undertake the job singlehanded.
And now that we are in it there can
be no compromise. there can be no
weakening. there can be no half way
peace any more than We would make
peace with burglars. murderers and in
.cendiaries. This war may not last six
months, but would not be surprised If
it lasted nearer six years. But regard
less OF how long it lasts, there is but
one thing to do. and that is to keep
stiff upper lip, and il you are too old

STOVE HOLDERS


 Dear Social Corner Sisters: Few
 homemade gifts will be more appre-.
 ciated than a general supply of I1itch-
 en holders. A half dozen is not too
 many to have at hand in the kitchen
 at all times, and two or three times
 as many should be provided, as there
 will always be some in the wash. They can be made of odd pieces that would otherwise go to waste. Stove holders containing a thin sheet of asbestos between two pieces of canvas or other cloth are perhaps the best non-con-
 ductors. Thin asbestos cloth comes by the yard at a small price. and a
 single thickness. protected by two pieces of cloth, makes 8 holder that is quite fireproof. Or,t in place of asbes- 1 tos, use square pieces of. leather cut ] from old shoe tops.
 White duck or canvas is the best material, as. if the holders are. made l so that the asbestos is removable. the covers can be washed and kept clean l A large pair of loose mittens of can Twas or outing flannel lined with as- bestes will be found very useful to l take hot dishes cut of the oven, and l for other use about the stove. Fasten | to these a stout cord or piece of tape
 about two feet long, and when much cooking is to be done slip one of them under the apron band or belt. Thus both will be suspended so that they will always be at hand.

HEZ HAMMOND,
WAR SHOES.

Dear Social Corner Members: Last
 fall I was about to discard a we'll
 worn pair of shoes; then decided to
 experiment to meet the high price of
 footwear which is destined to con-
 tinue for some time, even if wooden,
 steel or the patent combination seles
 are worn.
 My equipment consisted of an old
 pair of kid gloves. two shoe tops and
 a small bottle of iron glue and brush.
 Pieces of kid covered the openings at the sides and soles were shaped from the shoe tops. The work re- quired only short time and the glue dried in few hours. Contrary to expectations, the mend ing proved a success and they have been worn for morning work this win ter.
 Another pair, where the soles were parting from the uppers and not worth the cost of a cobbler's bill were fasten- ed together and have remained so. Hubby had faith enough to remark that the lining needed fastening in his slippers.
 Thin shoes can be mended and last another season Children when creeping soon wear the toes through, and kid or soft leather can be applied to remedy the trouble.
 Have added a lift to one heel and l it remains intact. Of course, one is not supposed to walk around on wet ground with them, or any kind of thin shoes, old or new. A good way to use seemingly worth i less material and save many a. dol l lar 1 have listed then, as war shoes. Yours for success. RT,ANrETE

MT. Editor: had hoped some of our book reading Sisters would answer some of the inquiries made by. Billie a little while ago, but Billie waits in vain for a response.
 like Billie's mental acumen and it is observable that there is real pur- pose in her pursuit of mental enter tainment
 At last, Billie, have read Christine, a book lovely in spirit and amazing in it's revelations. This girl with name which seemed to be two yards long and when spoken sounded not more than two inches-one of those English names of seemingly four syllahles that are expressed in two; sChumleyi"
 And what a mothers girl Christine was and how she just gurgles with sweetness in every letter from the first letter in the. book to the last. Anda how she enjoyed the shine and shadow, the odors and silence of the woods. and the brightness and expan- siveness of the heavens. How she dreamed and became lost in the har. monies expressed by her violini And what a keen listener and sharp interpreter she became of Germany and her people. In Germany to be cheerful and frank in your own way was to be offensive, because it was not
