Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1918-12-18
By COL. JOHN H. CRADLEBAUGH

Life is an ocean deep and wide
And men the ships that plow its tide;
One of its shores is called the
Whence,
The other boundary is the Thence.
Desire and Passion, Love and Hate.
Greed, Friendship, Treachery alternate
To make its weather foul or fair,
A treacherous sea; to some snare
That lures but to destroy yet still
The creature of the Master S will.
For scme fair breezes blow alone
And every sail draws taut and fair,
With tropic islands here and there,
Luxuriant, verdaN, odor-blown,
With coral reefs, their white sands
kissed
By languorous waves of amethyst.
The air seems quivering with delight
And pleasure grows so exquisite
1t turns to pain. Such voyages
Are for the few. Not such as these
May come to ALL The fogs of Chance
The dangerous shoals of Ignorance
Wreck some, aye, most, while 9TH
ers wreck
In Passion s storms that sweep the
deck
And send the tumbling masts and spars
To mingle with the billow' Is wars.
My life has been of both, Alas!
How swift the hours of Pleasure pass;
How fly the years on silent wing
When Momus laughs and Sirens sing,
And Baechus pours the golden wine,
Filling Life goblet to the brim,
And Beauty, in itself divine
And pure as Loves own cherubim
Youth s heart to estacy awakes
Until the soul of Music sings
SO joyous to Loves vibrant strings
That from pure joyousness, it breaks.
How drag the lingering minutes when
Around our bark the tempest drives
And Furies shreking for our lives
Drive the wind-spirits from their den,
The fierce wind-spirts of the north,
And not single star shines forth;
When darkness Is as of the tomb
And every ray Of hope is gone,
And dark impenetrable gloom
Apparently defies the dawn.
Hours drag into eternitie,
When souls encounter storms like these.
How sweet, how infinitely sweet
When the wild hurricane is past,
To hear the soft waves rytEmic beat
Upon friendly shore at last.
To find the haven of old age,
To have at last a sweet content
When storms come not, nor billows rage
And days in quietness are spent,
And the wild passions Of our youth,
The hopes, the fears, the loves, the
pains,
The disappointment and the tears
Have vanished, and but peace re-
mains.

war BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays 00,000,000 toward the cost Of
that nations war bread. That Is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America. incidentally the
British bread IL much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets Of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adultented war bread
loaf OF four pounds to sell ut IS cents.
The two pound loaf costs o cents. and
the one pound loaf sells for cents
In milling. however. IA per cent
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there is COM
pulsory adulteration OF 20 per cent
and an allowable adulteration Of 60
per cent.
Compared with American bread. the
British product is only about 65 per
cent. pure at Its best.
In France. under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger extrac-
tion. the four pound loaf sells for 10

that this board does not recog-

of this board is that the registrant

required by law, we should re-

al of this state as a delinquent.
