More Truth
Than Poetry
By James j. Montague

THE NINE SWEEPERS.
They never had a half chance at
glory;
To them the joy Of battle was de-
MED;
The nation never thrilled to read the
story
OF how they lived and toiled-and
how they died.
Unseen, unmarked, they went where
duty called them,
on mine-encircled seas their nets
were spread;
No storms delayed, no dangers grim
appalled, them
Though death was always lurking
just ahead.
Day in. day out. their dreary vigil
keeping
AS on across the tide their vessels
stole
Alert of mind. untroubled and un-
sleeping,
They calmly kept their perilous
patrol.
And if there came a flash; a roar
OF thunder,
And smothered in a whirl Of hiss
ing foam
A ship and all aboard of her went
under.
No cable sent the tragic story
home.
They brought to port no submarine
as booty,
Their shouts Of triumph ringing
in the breeze.
1t never was their high and glorious
duty
To scourge these sinking serpents
from the seas.
They wore no crown of fame, yet
their devotion
For victorys mighty progress
cleared the way,
Made safe an army's path across the
ocean,
And baffed craft and cunning Of
their prey.

POKER VERSUS REVOLUTION.

this story. He needed few bricklayers for an
emergency job and the union headquarters

tees posted on the bulletin board appealing for
lay bricks in various parts OF the city. There

CANDY AND THE SUGAR SUPPLY.

satisfaction, that in spite of the sugar shortage
which has affected home consumption OF sugar
seriously, the candy stores just full

looked upon as hoarders, and demands have been
made that their product should be restricted.
The fact is that they have probably sinned in
this respect any than individual citizens who
surrender their normal amount of sugar very
luctantly. Many Of the large manufacturers of
