ENGINE PULLING OUT THE GATE
A subscribers wife sends the fol.
lowing poem to this department and
says it fits her case so we'll she would
like others to read it. The. poem is
taken from a recent issue of the Coun-
try Gentleman. .
When the threshing seasons ended
and the grain is in the bins,
And the yellow straw is piled up in
the stack,
We women folks are glad to see the
engine in the road,
And glad twill be a year till it
comes back.
Our hands are black from scraping
new potatoes by the peck;
We're tired of baking cakes and
lemon pies;
We're tired of tea and coffee in the
big two-gallon pots,
And the 1oaves of bread in record
breaking size.
We're tired of seeing tables long
enough to fill the room, a..-....
And planks across the chairs to
make a seat, ,' az '- .1
And we're tired OF sweeping out the
bits of chaff the men bring in,
And the little grains of barley, oats
and wheat. -TE4ts
But we're tired-est OF the dishes that
were piled up in the sink, ;sssgg

We're soapy to our elbows and the
water soon gets cold,
And it's time to eat again before
we're through. 49, .s--,
Oh we're glad to have the harvest
and the money it brings in,
And we're glad to- know the crops
have been so great;
But the incest part~of threshing to
the weary women folk
Is the engine putting slowly out
the gate.

dence that they are a good thing in

CONSUMPTION FOR FOREIGN
WARS

The people should bear in mind
that the military bill now pending in
congress, drawn by the warndepart-
ment, makes CONSUMPTION automatic
the moment war is declared. Article
Is of the league covenant makes war
itself automatic by declaring that
Should any member of the league re-
sort to war. .,...it shall ipso facto be
deemed to have committed an act Of
war against all other members of the
league" We become a belligerent
whenever any one of the forty-hve or
more nations in the league resorts to
war, and we conscript our boys to take
part in that war, although we may be
on the friendliest terms with the ma
ton we are compelled by the league
covenant to fight. Is that what the
American people want?
