Why set the poor and needy up
Where folks can see their rags and
tatters?.t. -.ar .1f-.sf ..tt.-
But more and worse; one town knew
So careless Of the general frown,
1t stuck that poorfarm right inside
The limits of sister town.
And as a little childish chap,
About my earliest recollection,
Was watching paupers carted past,
All in that destitute direction;
l d see the "Overseer 90 up,
And then l d see him going down
Life seemed to be one grand parade
OF paupers from sister town.
The usual poorhouse wouldn't do,
And so they built a doubledecker,
Whereat each passer-hy became,
At once, a rabid rubbernecker;
They painted it with spotted paint
That would have paralvzed clown,
And then they swung a sign outside

The NUTS and dubs and local laws
And so we got besides their poor

| \ mournful bunch, and no mistake,
| We wore sort of sorrow S crown;
Our nei2hbor, though, plankcd down ne

No pity tore the sister town.
Our little poorfarm laid way back
| Beyond the county highway travel
We never passed it less we went
TO Plymouth for some Tyson gravel
| Besides, twas quite decent place,
The house was white, the barn wa
brown
Not like that Shcitcring Bedlam arms
Exploited by our sister town
Still, there was nothing we could do,
The dove could not escape the eagl
They d bought the farm, they had thei
deed,
Twas horrid, horrible, and-legal;
But it cleared up two civic truths
Which now lay as dogma down
No Poorhouse on q county road. -
One Poorfarm only in a town. -

usefulness for women, however, are
likely to be greatly enlarged here be
fore the war is over The officials in
Washington plan to double the size OF
our army during the present year. This
means only one thing, as the Benning-
ton Banner points out, and that is that
each state in the Union must send to
the army and navy approximately as
many more men as it now has in the
service. The great problem will be to
get as even distribution Of labor as
possible. Women will take up new
occupations, the young people will be
called upon to help in the vacations
from school and college, and the men
who have retired hui. who are still
capable of efficient work will come
back to help in the lines for which
their experience has fitted them.

Col Roosevelt is pretty severe in
his criticism of the work of the war
department, leading some newspapers
and individuals to charge him with
playing politics. Twenty years ago
when he was an officer in the army in
Cuba, Roosevelt joined with other off
GERS in framing and signing round
robin, which was biting criticism of
the way some things were being done
in the conduct Of the Spanish Ameri-
can war 1t should be remembered that
Mckinley was then president, man
of Roosevelt S own political party, with
whom Roosevelt was later glad to run
for the vice presidency. But that fact
did not prevent him from speaking out
