And whispers on her trembling knees:

On Earth. aloft and on the deep
And history strain her brightest page,
But ever shall Her thoughts engage

Swinging in strife, in grim contest
What power gained on land sea
Mean less than nouEht to her for she
Nursed 4 Man-baby OH her breast
And in the glare Of hurting shells
May be the tottering of a throne;
But though might ring million knecls,
Though War might be ten thousand bells.
She prays and trembles for her own
Yet in the thought, though bitter tears
May force their way through SORROWS tide
Hone. born of all her patient years,
Shines a holo round her fears.
And crowns her with Mothers pride.

Russian Bolshevkism has not one friend
remaining. Its followers, made international
outlaws by edicts OF France, Britain and the
United Sta,-s, and its own betrayed country
awaiting the signal to arise and crush them
they can look only to Germany for aid, and
even Germany will cast them forth when
its need for them shall have ceased to exist

are nearing that day when they will be forced
TO pay in blood for the crimes they have

regular folks, comes ringing Thrift Ballad
offered by Dickson Boes which is published be-

it may help Win the War II somebody can slip
it TO the Kaiser, it will. The ballad:
Keep the oil stove burning,
Keep the cakes turning
Save on meat and sugar and wheat and gaso-

Have your shoes half soied,
Wear your hat though it's old,
Turn your blue serge wrong side out
Till the boys come home.

Through years have been told that
State Legislatures could not be trusted to
choose United States Senators, and that
those important officials must be elected by
the people. Now We are instructed that the
people may not be trusted to vote on the
question Of universal woman suffrage, and
that the State Legislatures must decide. And
some living men have stood proudly and
