The winter of nineteen hundred eighteen Was tbe taddett winter ever seen : Oar 8ammy waa fighting across the sea, We were left alone.—just mother and me; 8o I bought a paper every day To read tbe "war news" from far away. Sammv was drafted and had to go— Bat we're growing oui, ana we mi·· aim eu, And now when the winter wind· sweep by They «eem like TOlcee that moan and cry. The winter of nineteen hundred eighteen Was the eoldut winter In long year· seen ; The snowdrifts covered the fence· o'er And darkened the window· and banked the door; Thev stopped the trolley and blocked the train, And closed the sidewalk· once and again; No autos passed as In day· of yore, And horse· were right In stvle once more; While throughout the township high and low, It took all the men to shovel enow, ✓ And every thermometer In the town Went down to zero, then down, down, down. The winter of nineteen hundred eighteen Wu the hardest winter ever eeen : The coal gave oat and the price soared higher So we sat in the kitchen close by the Are; And eveir day was a meatless day, For we didn't have caah the price to pay; We lived on oatmeal and rve and bran, A mena mnch like oar grandalree' plan, We conldnt bay eagar any more, And egg· were never so high before. The winter of nineteen hundred eighteen Was the longest winter ever seen : For all In a night the snow came down And with white braah painted country and town; It came and never once went away, And mother «he said, "It's come to stay;" 80 the weeks were long and lonely too, While colder and colder the winter grew, And we watched the mall· for aome new· per chance, For oar heart· were with oar boy In» France. Oh I the winter of nineteen hundred eighteen Waa the longest winter we'd ever aeen. Julia B. Abbott. Sooth Parla, Maine. The Foods of Our Sires. (Β. H. Dyer.) To whomaoe'er shall look with acorn Upon the loaf of ryctor oorn, And lift offended lip At food they deem "anflt to eat,'i And tea and ooffee under-sweet, Which they perforce must alp,— I beg attention, If yon pleaae, A moment's space, from such as these— One wink or time to *how Tbey have no cause to kick—not yet; Privation they have never met— Her form they do not know. Oar fathers biased the trails that led To oar high place, on ooaraer bread Than this we would refuse ; Eetabllehed lasting llblerty With sinew· built of hominy, And grains we hate to nae. By frugal fare and humble board, Unshaken faith and trust In God, They tolled and fought and died. ' Their chief concern wa· not for sweets, Delicious dlehe·, dainty "eat·"— Their palates they denied. The cereals our lires raised Were not prepared In varied ways. Nor flaked nor puffed nor blown, No rival enterprises raced To cater to their simple taate— A· to oar pampered own. What were to them rare luxuries, Are requisite»—necessities— Of oar o'er-lsvlah days: Their comforts, erode and sorely gained, lo as were rigor unrestrained, Ill-eulted to oar ways. Are we, the sons. Insatiate. When now the an I verse'· fete Is weighed by feast and feat? Shall we, descendants of the stock That oft withstood the thunder-shock, Gorge on Mil hope Is past? Nay, nay I if victory depends On abstinence—the banquet ends I The feast no more shall bel Till our resources have supplied The armies flghtlng side by side To crash Autocracy. Bring on, bring on your rye and oorn I No mean complaint, no eye of soora Shall mar oar simple fare. We've plenty other things to eat— Our Hgntlng men most have the wheat— 80 ship it "over there."

The percentage of persons who bought second liberty bonds on the partial pay ment plan, and who bave been obliged to discontinue payments, is surprisingly small. The impression that heatlesa and workless Mondays caused a large number of purchasers to stop payments on their bonds is not borne out by facts learned in an investigation, the results of which are just reported by the Liber ty Loan Committee of New England. Inquiries were made of several hun dred corporations asking the number of subscribers and of defaulters to the First and Second Loans on the partial pay ment plan. Replies have been received from 812 corporations. The results show that for the entire New England States only five and one-half per cent of subscribers to the Second Loan bave de faulted in their payments, as compared with nineteen per cent who defaulted in the First Loan. Maine, with forty-three corporations replying, employing 14,033 persons, re ports that 1502 subscribed to the first issue of bonds, or eleven per cent of the number of workers. Thirteen per cent defaulted. The same corporations re ported 5134 subscribers to the second bond or thirty-six per cent, with only alz per cent defaulting. For the entire New England States 812 corporations, employing 404,974, had thirty-one per cent subscribe to the first loan, of whom nineteen per cent default ed. To the second loan twenty-eight per cent subscribed and five and one-half per oentof these defaulted. This Is a most gratifying abowing and quite effectually disposes of the theory that a large number of defaults bave been made because of the dissatisfaction among the workers over the workless Mondays. It also indicates the advis ability of continaing the partial payment plan during the Third Loan which is now approaching. Tours very truly, The Liberty Loan Committee of New England, Jno. K.
