WHY U. S. ENTERED
THE WORLD WAR

There are two reasons why the
U. S. entered the World War.
Germany sank many of our ships.
We said we didn't care if they sank
them if they would give warning to
the people beforehand. They didn't
do this, but kept up sinking more
ships with people on !hem.
Another reason was that they
wanted us to paint yellow stripe
around our ships. They also said
that only one ship week could
pass through. We would not do
this. so we declared war on them.
That is why the U. s. entered the
World War.-Leoline Klus, Muncie.

Hearth Musings

As by my glowing hearth ! sit
My brow in deepest thought is kni,
Thinking of this fleeing year,
The end Of which 80 very near
Approaches. Only as a day 1t seems
Where the meadows fresh and
green,
Where the earliest spring flowers
To be found in sunny bowers
When the golden summer tide
With its wealth Of fruit beside;
Lofty trees in brightest green
Shimmering in golden sheen.
Now the meadows begin to turn
And no more the glossy fern
Laves Its dropping feathery crest
On the bright lakes quiet breast.
But chill autumn's frosty hand
Hath upon this beauteous land
OF fern and flower and waving
branch
Laid his icy touch their cheek to
blanch.
One and all with dropping head
Lie there pale and cold and dead.
But so our God has wisely planned
And ais each day his unerring hand
Guides each day unto the other,
And each night unto another,
So the seasons by his power
Are guided. And as an hour
Each one may seem, and as a day
Does the year SO swiftly pass away.
What have we done for others
good?
Said all, done all, we feel we
should?
If so. then with happy heart
Do we watch the year depart:
For Its brings us nearer home
That we each and all may own
For some much beloved friend
Stands awaiting to extend
His hand to guide us there,
Gods love and home to share y
In that bright and happy land
The angel chorus brightly stands
To welcome weary travellers home.
There no sorrows ever come
So with a sad but joyous tear
We usher in the glad New Year.
And as we feel the Christening rod
We view the city of our God.
