AFTER THE WAR

stood with the throng that waited
The sound of fife and drum,
Till ! heard far-of murmur
Do you hear? They come! They
come.
But / saw them not; was dreaming
OF the lads who come not home;
or the brave, true lads who are sleep
ing
In that land across the foam.
My heart was beating wildly
At the sound Of their martial tread
And | stood to cheer but | faltered,
For my thoughts would turn to the
dead
Their country called and they followed
Forsaking their homes, their ALL
And now as their friends turn home
ward
They hear not the bugle call.
SO ! bowed my heed and was silent
There were others knew could
cheer;
| grudged not the palm TO the victors,
Though | gave TO the dead my tear.
My thoughts were too deep to utter
Too sad for the voice or pen.
For mourn for the brave true-heart-
ed lads
Who will never come back again.

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

We are now trying to realize that
the great war is really over. The vic
tory is so great and Of such tremen-
dous Importance that no human mind
can comprehend the full meaning of it,
The results that will follow no man
con predict That material good will
result we all agree but whether il will
be after a period Of industrial and
social unrest or whether immediate
prosperity will come is now the great
question.
We are told that we must be prepar-
ed for stricter food rationing in order
that our allies and late enemies may
not starve this winter. The great
demand for food and supplies of all
kinds is going TO raise prices TO eve
higher levels and it behooves every
person 10 exercise the greatest econ.
omy in materials and money. At the
same time we must prepare for the
good times which are sure to come in
the end.
