The Winter of Nineteen Eighteen

The winter of nineteen hundred eighteen
Was the saddest winter ever seen:
Our Sammy was fighting across the sea,
We were left alone,-just mother ana me-
30 bought paper every day
To read the "war news" from far away.
Sammy was drafted and had to go
But we're growing old, and we miss MIN soi
And now when the winter winds sweep ny
They seem like voices that moan and cry.
The winter of nineteen hundred eighteen
Was the coldest winter In long years seen;
The snowdrifss covered the fences DER
And darkened the windows. and banked the
Thew stopped the trolley and blocked the train,
And closed the sidewalks once and again;
No autos passed as In days of yore,
While throushout the township high and low.
It took all the men TO shovel snow,
And every thermometer In the town
Went down to zero, then down, down, doon'
The winter of nineteen hundred eighteen
Was the hardest winter ever seen:
The coal rave out and the price scared higher
SO we sat in the kitchen close by the fire;
And every day was meatless day,
For we didn't have cash the price 70 pay;
We lived on oatmeal and rye and bran,
menu much like our grandsires' plan,
We couldn't buy sugar any more,
And eggs were never 80 high before.
The winter of nineteen hundred eighteen
Was the lonoest winter ever seen:
For all In night the snow came down
And with white brush painted country ana
town;
It came and never once went away,
And mother she said, "Its come TO stay;
So the weeks were long and lonely too.
While colder and colder the winter grew,
And we watched the mails for some news per-
chance,
For our hearts were with our boy In France.
Obi the winter Of nineteen hundred eignseen
Was the longest winter we'd ever seen.

Mrs. Nellie p, wife OF James 4. Ken

South Paris, about ten o'clock Sunday
evening. Mrs. Kenney was taken with
pneumonia some weeks ago. The pneu-
monia had passed, but complications
which followed resulted In her death
after severe suffering.
Mrs. Kenpey was 81 years OF age on
the 10th of February. She was the
daughter OF Ammi @. and Emma
(Grifiu) Titcomb. The family had lived
in Paris thirty-four years, coming here

Liberty Bond Buyers Hanging On

Liberty Bond Buyers Ranging On.
The percentage of persons who bought
second liberty bonds on the partial pay.
mept plan, and who have been obliged
to discontinue payments, Is surprisingly
small. The impression that heatless
and voorhees, Mondays caused q large
number of purchasers to stop payments
on their bonds is not borne out by facts
learned In an investigation, the results
of which are just reported by the Liber-
ty Loan Committee of New England.
Inquiries were made OF several hun.
dred corporations asking the number of
subscribers and of defaulters to the First
and Second Loans on the partial pay
ment plan. Replies have been received
from S12 corporations. The results
show that for the entire New England
States only five and one.half per cent OF
subscribers to the Second Loan have de.
faul.ed In their payments, as compared
with nineteen per cent who defaulted 10
the First Loan.
Maine, with forty-three corporations
replying, employing 14,033 persons, re-
ports that 1902 subscribed to the first
issue of bonds, or eleven per cent OF the
number of workers. Thirteen per cent
defaulted. The same corporations re.
ported 5134 subscribers to the second
bond or thirty.six per cent, with only
six per cent defaultiDg.
For the entire New England States 812
corporations, employing 404,974, had
thirty-one per cent subscribe to the first
loan, of whom nineteen per cent default
ed. To the second loan twen:y-sight
Der cent subscribed and five and one-half
per cent OF these defaulted.
This Is most gratifying showing and
quite effectually disposes Of the theory
that large number OF defaults have
been made because of the dissatisfaction
among the workers over the voorhees,
Mondays. It also indicates the advis-
ability of continuing the partial pay ment
plan during the Third Loan which is
now approaching.
Yours very truly,
The Liberty Loan Committee OF
New England,

The Foods of Our Slres.
(R. Il. Dyer.)

(R. h. Dyer.)
To whomsoe'er shall look with scorn
Upon the loaf of ryeor corn,
And lift offended lip
At food they deem "unHt to eat,r
And tea and coffee under-eWeet,
Which they perforce must sip
beg attention, II you please,
A moments space, from such as these
One wink OF time to show
Privation they have never met
Her form they do not know.
Our fathers blazed the trails that led
To our high place, on coarser bread
Than this we would refuse;
Established lasting liblerty
With sinews built Of hominy.
And grains We hate to use.
By frugal fare and humble board,
Unshafen faith and trust In God.
They toiled and fought and died.
Their chief concern was not for sweets,
Delicious dishes, dainty "eats'-
Their palates they denied.
The cereals our sires raised
We're not prepared In varied ways,
Nor faxed nor pulled nor blown,
No rival enterprises raced
To cater TO their simple taste
As to our pampered own.
What were to them rare luxuries.
Are rsquisites-neceesities
OF our DER. lavish days;
Their comforts, crude and s0rely gained,
To 10 were rigor unrestrained,
Ill.suited to our ways.
Are we, the sons, insatiate,
When now the universe's fate
II weighed by feast and fast3
Shall We, descendants Of the stock
That oft withstood the thunder shock,
Gorge on till hope IL pastr
Nay, nayi II victory depends
On abstinence-the banquet endsi
The feast NO moro shall bel
Till our resources have supplied
The armies fighting side BY side
To crush Autocracy.
Bring on, bring on your rye and corni
No mean complaint, no eye OF scorn
Shall mar our simple fare.
We've plenty other things to eat
Our fighting mon must have the wheat
30 ship It "over there."
