When Spring comes round again

And the first meadow-flowers ap-

Where Love throbs out in blissful

Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to

Where hushed awakenings are
But I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town
When Spring trips north again this

And I to my pledged word am

On July 4, 1916, Alan Seeger
met his death. Down the SCARED
slope he ran. the meadow-flowers
under foot, but in the midst of a
field of waving grain he fell, never
to arise. He is typical of many,
once young and strong, once full of
love and hope, once dear to moth
ers and friends, who now lie. as he
lies, a cross marking his grave,
but the exact spot unknown. A
gold star, on a mothers breast, is
poor recompense for all that ac-
companies the pain and the joy of
motherhood
They lie beneath the fields of grain

| rude crosses on the n1ll marx
where they fell;
Their voices still, they do not cry
in pain.
Their eyes look up, but do not see
the aple blossoms fall.
The crystal waters run through
the green dell
But do not slake their thirst -
they have no thirst
They were the first to hear the
call to charge.
For you and me they faced the
blazing light, the scattering
shell,
The groans, the cries, the twisting
limbs, the stain
Of red blood on the Flanders pop
pies. Now,
With grain, and flowers, and grass
above each brow,
Their eyes look up, but do not see
the skies; each ear
Is stopped, and cannot hear the
brook, the song of birds,
Or loving words. Their eyes look
up, but cannot see
The skies; they cannot see the ap-
pie petals fall;
They cannot see our faces, rapt in
prayer; or know
Mays fragrant air. For them the
brook is still;
No sun shines on the hill, or on the
crosses there.
Their eyes look up, but cannot see
the apple blossoms fall;
For you-and me-they heard the
all.
AS we meet in quiet reverence,
to pay respect to the memory of
those who served us with their
labors and their blood, question
arises in the minds of all of us.
Will there be any more wars? On
ly the incurable optimist can shut
his eyes to the imminenece of fur
ther conflict. Even now the war
drums throb, and banners unfurl,
while self seeking counselors
whisper poisonous words of hate
into the ears of grasping rulers
and ambitious lawgivers. Our ques-
ton suggests a second, and it is
with the second that we are deeply
concerned. How can we stay out
of war?
Senator Nye, Mr.. Baruch, and
others say, "Take the profits out
of war" Some of our great serv-
ice organizations, in all sincerity,
repeat, and repeat again, "Pro-
mote international understanding"
Christian churches ,exhort us to
follow the peaceful paths so dear
to Jesus. Groups of young intel
lectuals, honestly enough, no doubt,
take oath that they will not bear
arms. Theodore Roosevelt, in the
days of his most dynamis endeav-
ors, in war, as well as in other
things, preached the doctrine sug-
gested by his slogan, Walk soft
ly, but carry a big stick" Many
thousands of men and women, fol-
lowing the leadership of this great
! American, cry, "Prepare-prepare." p"

Hello friends:
Everybody in st. Paul, as well
as in Minneapolis, I know, will be
delighted to read an interview
from our young Phyllis Wheatley
kindergarten teacher, DOROTHY
HALL, of st. Paul. Miss Hall is
well known for the splendid work
she carries on in the kindergarten.
Figuratively speaking, the way to
describe her is to say she is a
sweet flower blooming amidst a
group of little buds.
1. Do you believe in an indie
pendent career for women? Ans.
Decidedly so. Zone can never tell
what may happen.)
2. In your work as kindergar-
ten teacher, who are more apt,
boys or girls? Ans. One is the
same as the other. The sex doesn't
seem to make the difference. The
individual child does.
8. What is your secret ambi-
ton? Ans. It is to be able to
overlook peoples unkindnesses and
to repay my enemies with kind
ness. ....>
A. What is the most embarrass-
ing time you ever had in your life?
Ans. I was anxious to make an
impression on a male friend. He
drove me home. 1t was a hot sum-
mer day, and my dear parent was
stretched on the floor of the front
porch with her toes reckoning to
the suns rays.
5. What is the best time you
ever had in your life? Ans. I
was very content when spending a
few days in Northern Minnesota
one summer. The lake, sky, and
woods proved bissful solitude.
6. What characteristics are you
going to look for in the man you
marry? Ans. / should like him
to be dependable, sincere, progress
sive, and affectionately co-opera-
tive.
z. Do you believe in love at first
sight? Ans. / do not.
8. Do you think girls should
take advantage of leap year?
Ans. By all means and all the
other years.
9. Do you think men should
give up their seats to ladies in
street cars? Ans. Yes, if she ap-
pears to really need it-otherwise
no.
10. Do you think the modern
age of drinking and smoking
among girls is advantageous to
them? Ans. It's not necessarily
so.
II. Who do you think are more
conceited, men or women? Ans.
Human nature is about the same.
They are both conceited.
IL. Which kind of man do you
think girls like best, dignifed and
reserved or the kissing bug''
type? Ans. That depends upon
the girl. A combination would be
most desirable.
Is. Who is your favorite col
ored poet? Ans. Lanston Hughes.
IA. Do you think the race is
progressing economically? Ans.
Yes, / do.
Is. When you marry are you
going to stay home all the time
with the babies, or make hubby
help out? Ans. Again I say, CO.
operation must exist, If we assume
there's a home and babies.

And Yet We Complain

While folks back home here are conn blaming about the terrific heat that has settled down upon us, the folks way out West are bending their heads patiently to the yoke of the drought. For thirty odd days, long ones, too, they have gone about their customary tasks with tenn peratures always in the neighborhood of 100 degrees or higher. Not particle or rain has fallen to relieve, even for the briefest instant, the misery and distress. And yet back home here in Connecticut we feel that misery is extending beyond the breaking point when we get two or three days of excessive heat.
 The drought that has once more set- tied down on half of the United States and which extends far into Canada IS a major catastrophe. We are not the first to recognize this nor term 1t such. Everyone must recognize 1t as the only term that can really be used to describe the situation. If anything that man can do about bringing relief into the widely. scattered and stricken areas is suggested 1t should be considered as a means to- wards an end. Uncle Sam, of course, IS springing to the rescue, but 1t is doubtful If even relief work can solve this problem.
 The scientists tell us not to be alarmed over this prolonged drought. According to their reckonings 1t cannot last much more than another year, when there will be many years of rain and warm sum shine. But what about the acre after acre of land that will be unfit for cultiya- ton after this prolonged drought. It's hard for New Englanders to imagine the sight that must greet the grain producers and the livestock raisers of the West. We are accustomed to dry spells, but the worst of them is mild compared to what the western half of our country now ex- periences. Whatever we can do to alle- Viate human distress and suffering should be forthcoming after going through a mild heat wave, such as we now have.

Selected Poem
SALUTE TO THE TREES

(By Henry van Dyke, Reprint from Boston Post) Many tree is found in the wood, And every tree for It's use is good; Some for the strength of the gnarled root Some for the sweetness of flower or fruit; Some for shelter against the storm, And some to kep the hearth-stone warm Some for the roof and some for the beam, And some for boat to breast the stream Tn the wealth of the wood since the world began The trees have offered their gifts to man. But the glory of trees is more than their gifts Iris beautiful wonder of life that lifts From a wrinkled seed in an earth-bound clod column, an arch in the temple of God, pillar of power, dome of delight shrine of song, and joy of sight! Their roots are the nurses of rivers in birth; Their leaves allve with the breath of the earth They shelter the dwellings of man; and they bend Der his grave with the look of a loving friend. I have camped in the whispering forest of pines; have slept in the shadow of olives and vines; In the knees of an oak, at the foot of palm, I have found good rest and slumbers balm. And now, when the morning gilds the boughs Of the vaulted elm at the door of my house, I open my window and make salute:
 God bless thy branches and feed thy rootl Thou has lived before live after me. Thou ancient, friendly, faithful tree."
