CtiEEl INC SOME ONE ON
Don't you mind about the triumphe,
Don't you worry about fame;
Don't you grieve about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name,
All the best in life's the simplest
Love will last when li•Fe is gone;
Just be glad that you are living,
And keep cheering someone on.
Let your neighbors have the blossoms,
Let your comrades wear the crown.
Never mind the little setbaoks
Nor the blows that knock you down,
You'll be glad when they're forgotten,
You'll ba glad with youth and dawn
If you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering someone on,
There's a lot of sorrow round .you,
Lots of lonesomeness and tears,
Lots of headaches and of worry
Through the shadows of the years;
And the world needs more than
triumphe,
More than all the swords we've
drawn
It is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.
Let the wind around you whistle,
And the etorme around you play;
You'll be hare with brawn and gristle,
When the conquerors decay,
You'll be here in memories sweetened
By the souls you saved from pawn,
If you put aside the victories,
And keep cheering some one ou.

Flax industry Revives
Government officials who ire pnepar-
ins an educational exhibit for the Cau-
adiatiNational exhibition at Toronto
this year, say that the flax this industry
in this country will be completely re-
juvenated at a result of the war.
Fifty years ago there were about
one hundred mills in Ontario, and fl ix
was an important crop on many farms,
At the time war started In 1014 this
number had dwindled to six or seven.
But the war is reviving the industry
in a striking 'way, and as a result of
the attractive prices, due to the al-
most total disappearance of foreign
competition, many Ontario farmers
are dipping into the business. In all.
8,000 acres have been planted to the
crop here this year, while the West
has devoted an inlmenee aelieage to it.
The officials say that' between thirty
and forty mills will he operating ,ln
