Dear mother, when read each tender phrase,
Each throbbing line of love you write to me,
Ny heart grows sad and oft count the days
Until at last shall sail DER the sea
Back, back to you and home and all love.
And once cursed the fate that placed me
here,
But, lol / caught vision from above
That steeled my heart with patience, mother
Before, my thoughts were dark with fancied
wrongs,
OF plans mIscarried and of work undone;
heard faint echoes of the old home songs
And glimpsed your loving faces, one by one.
l knew your troubles that could not ease
suffered at the worry in yonr heart;
Ionged to rest my head upon your knees
And feel my bitter loneliness depart.
To me the war had brought out bitterness,
Brought sc1pline-that cut me to the raw
And acts unjust that promised no redress
Beneath the ohaugeless military law.
All through the days l heard the homing-
call
saw your pleading eyes and heard your
voice;
1 prayed to come, prayed to cheer you all,
And in reunion let our hearts rejoice.
All useless seemed the changeless game we
played
OF endless labor, unremitting drill,
1t seemed 'twould be far better had stayed
At home with you, who love and need me
still.
And then l caught vision from The skies
OF why we fight and suffer and are sad!
saw the reason for our sacrifice
Aud seeing, loi my heart grew strong and
glad
That was in the ranks to fight and die,
II need be, for the millions yet unborn.
| saw the Belgian women they lie
The spoils Of Hunnish lust, undone and
torn,
Their children lifting mutilated arms,
And babies caught upon the bayonet;
Their aged mothers. shaving on the farms
To feed the German hordes unconquered
YETI
l saw the helpless sinking in the waves
While German sailors laughed to see them
die,
l saw a row Of new made baby graves,
And distant aircraft sinking in the sky;
l saw the towns of desolated France,
The fruiting trees destroyed in senseles hate;
Oh mother, this saw as in a trance,
And others that my lips dare not relate.
Oh, think if we had lived in Belgium then,
If France had been our homel oh God on
high!
To picture you the toy o: british man,
Our home destroyed, my loved ones left to
diel
I see, see at last the reason why
We must forget the little things of life,
And dry our tears and stifle every cry,
Whatever pain may issue from the strife,
Why we must battle on, with ne'er a thought
Ellsworth American., 1919-05-21

But victory, nor stop to count the cost,
Until a sweeter Liberty is wrought
From out the old, which was so nearly lostl
Ny mother, cheer your heart and dry your
tears,
For afterwhile, God willing, III return;
We sacrifice day that through the years
We may enjoy the peace for which we
yearn.
Forget all cares forget all minor things,
To-day we labor and tomorrow rest.
We aght for every mother as she sings
Her babe to sleep upon her throbbing
breast.
We battle for the womanhood of earth,
For Liberty. for Honor and for Right.
Be proud, oh. mother dear. that you gave
birth
To one who lived to enter such fight.

LINE BREEDING is FAVORED
Common and Desirable Practice Is En-
couraeed by Cooperative Bull
Associations.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A bull association having as many
as five or six breeding blocks should
keep and use all its good bulls as long
as they are fit for service. Advancing
the bull to the next block at the end of
two years does not eliminate him; 1t
simply makes it possible to avoid in
breeding. Line breeding. on the other
hand, is a common and desirable prac-
tice, and the bull association offers ex-
ceptional opportunities for conducting
that kind of breeding. In an associa-
ton composed of breeders of pure
bred dairy cattle carefully selected
bulls produced in one block may be
used in other blocks, and the organiza-
ton may thus continue indefinitely
without purchasing bulls from outside
sources If such plan seems advisa-
BILE. The same practice may be fol-
lowed when only a few high-class reg
istered cows are owned by members
Of any association. The cooperative
bull association, therefore, offers an
excellent opportunity for intelligent,
long-continued breeding. Skillful mat
ing. when combined with careful Sc
lection of the best animals, makes
great improvement possible.

sistance may mean the making of

or a very intensive inspection lasting

During the last year personal aid
was given to 80 cities in IA states. In
addition to this, assistance was given
the United States public health serv-
ice by conducting sanitary milk sur
veys and in improving the milk supply
of Is extra cantonment zones.
All phases of city milk supply are
covered. Inspection of dairies. milk

taken and analyZed, both chemically
and bacteriologically When neces-
sary, help is given in the installation

the Interpretation of the results of
chemical and bacterial analyses.
Special meetings may be held
among both producers and consumers
of milk in order to arouse interest in
the local milk supply. Advice in fran
ing ordinances to cover dairy and milk
conditions is also offered.
An important feature is the milk
content work, in which specialists as

act as judges in scoring the product TO
determine the relative standing of
milk producers. These contests en-
courage rivalry among dairymen and,
in consequence, tend to improve the
