What About the Hosses?"

We had sought the sweet secIusion OF an
old estamin"t
And the wme-cup circulated In the OLD
familiar way,
We had red our hearts on memories, and
talked as soldiers will
or the comrades pushing daisies on =
barren shell-marked hill
But one western boy was silent--usver
lifted up hts head
TIL resentment seemed TO stir him. and
he raised his eyes and said
''But what about the hosses
In the roll call Of the dead
Are they mentioned in the iosses--
Has a single word been said
II there any simple token OF their
agony unspohen--
Have they any wooden crosses
In the valleys where they bled :"
Our thoughts flew back like lightning.
We saw the beasts OF burden bringing
The endless line OF transport winding all
across the hill.
And the starving and the dying on the
fields at Aubervile-
The misery. the fortitude OF those that
had been gassed,
And Eyes OF silent sorrow, pleading pa
tience as thay passed.
Aye, What about the horses

And the broken, blind. ana lame.

The Day On the Farm

BY Marssrst Walker. Age 9, North Platte,
Neo.. lls West Third Street.
Over the pretty meadow land
Two little girls go hand in hand.
They are going to their fathers
70 see the pretty little calves in
the barn.
And their mother was cooking a
delicious lunch,
For she was going to have 4 great
big bunch.
Men, women and children, all,
She had prepared for those who
had come to call.
They played with tn. chickens and
calves and ducks.
Then went in the oornheld and
played in the shucks.
And rode the old COW down to the
stream,
She bucked them both off and how
they did scream.
When the day was over and supper
time came.
They had played so hard they were
very lame.
And now that the sun has gone
down in the west,
The two little girls are taking their
