TO PAUL
(ldlled in action)
By &c" Brigham, aged 16 years

You fell among the flowers on
bloody field in France;
You gambled life for freedom
and lost it in the chance;
You had the stuff to do the job
and make the Jerrys run;
Yes, you gave them blow for
blow; No, it wasn't any fun;
You gave your life for Ameri-
cas- liberty and peace;
You'll live in hearts forever
after all the battles cease;
We camped and ate together
under river tree;
We swan and fished together,
you were a brother to me;
You left your home and job
when peace began to fade;
You took up your rifle, can
teen, bayonet, and spade;
You will never die in the minds
of those who knew you as / do;
You're still alive to all of us,
though they say your life is
through.
/ dedicate this poem to the great
st guy / know. Paul's brother and
est pal, Louis (Louie) Bussler.

Losing The War

Germany's supreme optimist and
Goebbels' prize pupil turned up in
a prison camp where an Aussie
stood guard. The Nazi was in
vited to listen to radio news re-
ports, the Australian News and
Information Bureau says. The
news the Nazi heard was strictly
wonderful. This was his report
to his fellow prisoners: "In
1910 we overwhelmed and de-
feated the British, but most of
them got away through Dunkerque.
The Fuehrer has allowed them to
land in France again. This time
they shall not escape"

Sugar Continues Short
DR.. Ramon Grau San Martin,
President-elect of Cuba, stressed in
an interview here last week the
Importance of farm machinery in
order to increase agricultural pro-
duction in his country.
Housewives who have curtailed
cake-baking during rationing per-
iod will wonder whether more
machinery for Cuba will mean
more sugar for them. The answer
to that is "NO", for while the
wartime Cuban harvest of 1914
resulted in an increase Of about
100000 short tons above peace
time years, sugar production, cane
and beet, has dropped off in the
U. s. because of labor shortage.
And in other parts of the world,
sugar producing lands from Po-
land to the Philippines, have been
devastated by war. So rationing
will continue.
