The Old Platoon.

The Old Platoon.
Soft the night on the bleak fields face.
And under the lonely moon
The white cross marks your resting
place,
Mate OF the old platoon.
Hazards many wc both have shared.
Enduring as men endure
WIN faith and fire all risks we dared,
knowing the end was sure.
The be cause uls is worthy" you often said
AS we looked to tho great new day
That ushered freedom in.
There's weapon less on the rif1o rack
And gone from the parapet
still you guide us now on the cobblcd
track, S1
The mate we can't forget. ~
To the hour ahead our way we wend.
Let 1t come late or soon.
We know. you're with us TO the end.
Mate Of the old platoon.

As a result Of the adoption of the Federal
prohibition amendment, the stock market
shows an advance in tobacco shares 1t is
explained that leaders OF the industry be-
hevc that tobacco sales will increase so per
cent within the next two years as a result
OF prohibition. Since the courts have up
held the legislative right to destroy any in
dustry that comes into public disfavor, tho
tobacco industry may not smugly congralu-
late itself upon the security OF it's future.
The millennium must be FASTENED by appro-
pirate legislation, urged on by artifcially
stimulated public sentiment. and there is not
lacking evidence that a crusade against the
use or the weed as an unnecessary evil is
incubating and in time will be launched with
formidable backing and perfect organization
The success OF such crusade will be lust
as easy as tho campaign against liquor con-
