: THE LAND OF TEARS.

Went back home" last week b see
II things were the same 40 they USED
to be-
Got sort o. tired Of city life
Noise and crowding and ceaseless Strife
Yearned to look at the old gray town
Out at Its elbows and running down.
Thought 1t would seem good cross enc
years, t
Found instead twas land OF tearsl
Gaps In the ranks of the boys l knew,
Girls mostly widows; only few
Seemed to have lived and made their
way:
Nobody nigh who cared to play.
weren't even glad to have me come
There just In time to remind of some
Grief and care that had grown between
Them and me since Time was green,
Black the color. mixed with blue
Where had looked for rosy hue:
My mind teemed with memories bright.
They saw only the darkest night.
Past full or gloom, no future at ALL
Just sitting round to await the call
From the Angel ofFDeath who'd paused
next door,
Signing and signing of -"Nevermore."
Came straight back to the crowd and
noise, a, sft
The seething city and Its joys,
Where life stays young despite its years.
Leaving forever the Land of Tears!

Must Have a License.

My grandmother came from Eng.
land when she was "a, writes CORE
spOndent. She worked for cousin
who had large farm. The hired man
fell In love with her and they planned
to be married secretly.
One Sunday night when the family
were asleep they walked to the nearest
town, seven miles, and reused the
minister, but he told them they must
have a license. Grandmother went
back to the farm and her beau footed
1t to the county seat, thirty-five miles,
and returned next day with the license.
\ After the family retired that night
the couple stole away to town again,
the minister opened the window, ex-
amined the license by candle light,
called his wife and daughter to the
open window for witnesses, and per-
formed the ceremony with the bride
and groom outside.

Most Diseases PreventabIe.
"The war has accentuated and
sharpened our realization that the
greatest contributing factor In disturb
ing the happiness Of mankind is the
question of physical well-being, the
problem of health and disease" DIR.
Farrand said. A large portion of the
disease of the world is preventable,
and the people naturally are looking
to organizations that are able to help
and guide; that are built on lines that
beget confidence.
"The organization best equipped for
this purpose is the American Red
Cross. States and municipalities must
conduct this campaign and the local
Red Cross organizations are operating
units. For the last ten years leaders
In health work have sought an organi-
cation capable of co-ordinating the
various local activities into q massed
movement which would produce re-
suits. That organization is the Red
Cross.
Nursing Program Developed.
I Are we not going to take advantage
Of this opportunity to better humanity
We have here an organization that
represents every national interest
that knows no party and no creed;
that has attached to II every type of
man, woman and child In the United
States and we propose to put this en-
ergy behind the great movement to
coordinate and bring together these
varied interests so far as possible.
sThe biggest activity which the Red
Cross has undertaken In this field is
the great public nursing program.
The entire movement for public health
depends upon the adequate develop
ment Of the public nurse"
