SCRAPS OF VERSE AND PROSE
by Clara Cox Epperson
MY BOYS SMILE

Just to see his face once more,
My boys face that adore;
just to see his glad, sweet smile,
That would all my woes beguilt;
just to hear him laugh again,
That would ease my hearts great
pain;
Just to take him in my arms,
Our souls free from wars alarms;
To pillow his head upon my breast
And be for one sweet hour at rest;
Oh Christ, how can mothers live,
If this boon you no more give?
my face grieved one, can't you see
Upon the cross OF Calvary?
My presence near you can't you feel
When in the troubled prayer you
kneel?
Then your boys face with mine you'll
see,
Because he offers his life for me.
Cease your weeping. Don't repine.
Your boys smile you'll see with mine;
Perhaps no more on earth for thee,
But shining through eternity"

MY LOvE-SHIP

''If all the ships ! have at sea
Shall come a-sailing home to me,
All well the harbor could not hold
So many ships as there would be
If all my ships came in from sea.
If that one ship went down at sea,
And all the others came to me,
Weighed down with. gems and
wealth untold,
With glory, honors, riches, gold,
The poorest soul on earth I'd be
If that one ship came not to me.
Oh skies be calm. Oh winds blow
free
Blow all my ships safe home to me.
But If thou sendest some awrack,
To never more come sailing back
Send any--all that skim the sea,
But bring my love-ship home to me-"

RESTRICT YOUR DELIVERIES

The committee on commercial
economy, of the council of national
defense, respectfully requests that
every retail merchant in Cookeville
adopt the governments recommend
ations relative to the delivery of mer-
chandise, to-wit:
1. Restrict deliveries to one trip a
day over each route.
2. Eliminate entirely special deliv-
cries.
8, Organize cooperative delivery
systems wherever possible.
These recommendations are made
by the government for the purpose
of eliminating unnecessary work,
thereby releasing additional man
power for more essential occupation.
In speaking of man power we not
only include the driver. but the saw
ing of every item which enters into
the delivery transaction, such as the
wear and tear on wagon or truck,
feed, gasoline, etc.
We present these recommends
tions to the retail merchants of
Cookeville and ask them to notify
their customers that on and after
August 5th only one delivery day
over each route will be made. BY
this we mean that the customers
must be classified into routes and no
titled that after August the deliv.
cry wagon will cover their particu-
Lar route at certain time of the day
and that their orders must be re-
ceived before the wagon leaves the
store.
We ask the retail merchants of
Cookeville to adept this delivery sys-
tenn as a patriotic war measure there
by contributing this much more to
the winning of the war.

When she learns that it was her husband who contributed ty her brother's downfall, she leaves him. The adventures and romance which bring the story to it's satis- flying conclusion are of an absorbing sort ',~
