Topples, tender, silent, sweet, Tell me: In your hearts retreat , Are there sounds of marching feet,
 Songs of youth. and trampled wheat
 Over Flanders field?
 Topples of such wondrous hue, In your tear-drops, glist'ning dew,
 Can you see the magic view
 Of May-time Rendezvous
 Once by Flanders field?
 Each fair poppy bowed its head,
 Deeper than the sunsets red,
 Like a nun when pray'rs are said For the faithful, honored dead
 Down in Flanders field.
 Topples, like the violet,
 Eloquence in silence set,
 Speak no living word and yet Tell full well they'll ne'er forget
 Far off Flanders field.

 In the Washington Post.
 Hon. William D. Upshaw, repre- sentative from Georgia, has solicited assistance from a number of New Britain residents in his efforts to se- cure the democratic nomination for vice-president. An exhaustive outline of how that assistance may be rem dered is contained in pamphlet sent through the mails and outside of hav- Ing them devote all their waking hours to his interests, MT. Upshaw doesn't want them to do thing.
 Included in the pamphlet are nu- merous reprints from newspapers which have discussed his activity in the enforcement of the Volstead act. MT. Upshaw at one time demanded that congressman take the pledge. At another time he charged that there was an official bootlegger" in con- gress. He also announced that there were well stocked wine cellars in Ihe national capital, which is supposed to be dry.
 It is apparent from the tone of the newspaper reprints that Mr. Upshaw is going to base his campaign solely on a desire to enforce prohibition. Like many others who are capitalizing the situation, he believes that the people are not interested in anything except the violation of the eighteenth amendment.
 Admitting that prohibition will be a factor in the next election, it should Rot be allowed to claim all the ljme- light. There are other amendments to the constitution of equal impor- tance yet the politicians are not cry ing for their enforcement. They take for granted that the people don't care 3 snap of their fingers for any issue except that dealing with the liquor traffic. They have convinced them selves that the eighteenth amendment Is the whole constitution and no other section or paragraph counts.
 When the Creator gave the ten 10 the world He did not stress any particular command ment but expected the race to observe all of than. There should be s moral In this for the minority which is 90 up over q single law of the and.
 How To Compute Your Bonus;
 i. Get the square root ot the size | # piece of string and divide by 6s2, 1 he number of times K. F. duty was | suggested for you.
 2. Allow, as an option, the salutes iven 10 r. M. C. A. men and shave ails. or get the sarithms of the sum otal Of the shippers orders say ero--thls leaves you SIS as 2 grand otal
 s. IT you served on this side, add 900 for deterity and multiply your verseas rumors by 100 per cent and dd to the 1000 and the half Of your payments, and fin so oing, completely ignore the amount rhich you would get by multiplying v o, your models for conspicuous oon- uct as soldier. These computaUbn icures which are as clear ss the Topper" commands leaves you again 'ith the sum total as 692 where you tarted from. IL is argued that the will bring you just 'here you started from when you arked to the recruiting call. But srry on to the last rule for hmplif- ation.

Divide e92 into squads of four. dyance toward the 500 maximum, 10 | he rear march until 300 is reached. | ight about face and see how fer yon ct toward 500. advance with dexter Y and the Devil take the hindmog;.
