The Little Patched Trousers.

How dear to my heart are the pants
of my childhood,
When fond recollections presents
them to view;
The pants that l wore in the deep
tangled wildwood,
And likewise the groves where the
crab apples grew.
The wide-spreading seat with the
little square patches,
The pockets that .bulged with my
luncheon for noon,
And also with marbles and fish
worms and matches,
And gum drops and kite-strings
from March until June.
The little patched trousers, the made
over trousers,
The high-water trousers that fit
me too soon.
No pantaloons ever performed great
er service,
In filling the heart of US young
sters with joys,
They made the descent from Adolph-
US to Jarvis,
Right down thru a family of ten
little boys.
Thru no fault of mine known to me
or others,
Pm the tenderest branch on our
big family tree.
And having done service for nine
older brothers,
They came down to me slightly
bagged at the knee.
The little patched trousers, the Sec
ond hand trousers,
The old family trousers that bagged
at the knee.

Of phrasing it,
The government campaign for a
smaller army is due to the realization
that vast tracts of valuable yricul-
turai land are in urgent need of de-
yelopment and that many factories in
Mexico are short of help. Ut is point
ed out that the present military situa-
ton is such as TO require the. services

permitting the ether thousands of mer,
under arms to devote themselves to
the task of econornically,~rehab bilitat-
ing the country.
The recent upriainngs of Generals
Carlos Osuna and Jesus H. Guajafdo
have not altered the governments
determination to reduce the personnel
OF the army. According to General
