THE LITTLE HOME PAPER

The little home paper comes to me,
As badly printed be;
It's ungrammatical, cheap, absurd
Yet how love each intimate word!
For here am | in the teaming town,
Where the sad mad people rush up and down,
And it's good to get back to the old lost place,
And gossip and smiles fora little space
The weather is hot; the corn crops good;
They've had picnic in Sheldon's Wood.
And Aunt Maria sick last week;
Ike Morrisons got swollen cheek
And the Squire hurt in runaway
More shocked than bruised I'm glad to say.
Bert Willis used to play ball with him,
Is working farm with his Uncle JIM
The Red Cross Ladies gave tea,
And raised quite bit. Old Sol MacPhee
Has sold his house Lincoln Road
He couldn't carry so big load
The Methodist ministers had call
From wealthy parish near St. Paul.
And old Herb Sweet is married at last
He was forty-two. How the years rush past
But here's an item that makes me see
What puzzling riddle life can be-
ed Stokes" it reads, twas killed in France
When the Allies MAIDS their last advance"
Ed Stokes That boy with the laughing eyes,
As blue the early summer skies
He wouldn't have killed fly-and yet,
Without murmur, without regret
He left the place of our little place.
And went away with light in his face;
For out in the world was job to do,
And he wouldn't home until it was through!
Four thousand miles from our tiny town
And its hardware store, this boy went down.
Such quiet lad such simple chap
But he's put East Dunkirk on the map

lutte determination TO know the trutn.
The course of action must be tested
BY tAs compass of reason. and where
reason and truth point there lies tho
way to the peoples security.
All Must BE Heard.
Every American citizen with mes
sage must be heard; every citizen
must shake the mud OF politics off his
feet and climb to the sanctuary of
statssmanship: every official of the
government must serve his master. the
people; he cannot serve them and do
the bidding OF caste or class or avarice
or selfish ambition. He must move
within the sphere OF honest. altruistic
effort; he must drink of the clear wa
tiers OF love and Of sympathy and of
justice.
UniversaI Training Beneficial.
"UniversaI military training will

Must Be Other Training.
Coupled with universal military
training there should be manual and
educational training for the several
months in each year during which
they are in service. thus fitting these
young men by selection for the work
for which they are best adapted. You

Reduce the Land Holdings.
This great big western country
must be split up. The government
must In some way make It possible to
divide the large holdings OF land into
small farms and make 1t possible for
these men, and men OF the over
crowded cities. to return to agricul-
tural pursuits and to borrow money
from the government for long periods
of time and at low rates OF interest,
port themselves and their families and
aid the country.
1T does not make any difference
whether 1t is the German language or
the Italian language or the Russian
language. II must go out of the public
schools. You know that when God Al
mighty wanted to break up the whole
system Of society in ancient times He
confused ther language. and broke it
up. and He scattered all the people
over the face Of the earth and tho
place was called Babel. Now, let US
