WINTER.

Ii seems so dead out there today,
The snow lies deep about the place;
The ground whereon the children play
grace.
What was a garden. now is bare,
The, rose stalks fiutter to and fro,
There 10 no hint that life is there
Beneath the drifted ice and snow.
The sparrows twitter in the tree.'
But otherwise no sound Is heard,
Where used to ring the minstrelsy
OF many a golden-throated bird.
| gaze across this barrenl waste
OF beauty held In wiuter's clutch,
note the lines OF sorrow traced
By--dasoIation's cruel touch.
Suppose" unto myself. i say,
This garden bleak and cold and
bare,
Were doomed forever thus to stay
And never rose should blossom
there?"
But all this ugliness must pass
And ice and snow must vanish soon
Spring shall awake the slumbering
grass,
The roses shall return in June.
So with this faith through life I'd so
Meeting my care as winters sting,
knowing that all the ice and snow
Must vanish with the birth of spring

New England textile mills are closed
by strikes, the number OF strikers be-
ing estimated at from 10000 to $4,000.
These are not prSpitious times for
strikes, but neither are they regarded
by workers generally as propitious
times for wage reductions. But wages
mounted to high peak during the
abnormal war period, and as all prices
are trending downward, 1t Is hardly
possible wages can be entirely exempt.

have worked in the canal zone If the
pest had been allowed to hourlsh

but his initial work in the zone mas
been an example to, the people OF

of the work of the Gorgas Memorial
Institute will be made in the founda-

render the entire South a specific
