ON GUARD
"Wars and camas of wars" -the eleuds lour over the sea,
Anda man must now be a man, if ever a. man can be;
"Wars and rumors of wars" a cry from the flaming East,
For the vultures are gathered together and the lions roar over the feast;
War! Shall we flinch! Shall we tremble! Shall we ,shrink like cowards
from the fray?
Better all Britons ^were dead than their glory passed away;
The clouds may be dark and louring the storm may be loud and long,
But the hearts of our men are true, and the arms of our men are strong.
From a thousand years of glory, from the graves of heroes gone,
Comes a voice on the breath of the storm and. a power that sweeps us on;
A man must now be a man, and every man be true,
For Britons stand together when Baritain has work to do.

"MACHINE REPAIRS" g
A farmer gazed with heavy frown
Upon his machine, broken down,
Then hastened to the nearest town.
To buy repairs.
He told the repair man of his woe,
And how much land he had to sow,
But riot a ndnxber did he know
Nor seemed to care.
"The part I want,"he:,'wisely said,
"Is hollowed out and painted red,
But I forget.
It holds the thing-a-bob"in place
About an inch from that long brace
That fasten to the big main case
And keeps it set.
You surely know just what I mean,
It broke before on this machine;
The what -you -call -it is between and
just behind;
The thing that moves along like that.
About as big as this old hat
Would be if you should smash it flat,
I think you'll find."
The repair man sighed and shook his
head, •
"I don't know what you mean," he
said,
"We'll have to search the extra shed,
So come along.
If you could only tax your brain
So that the number you'd retain,'
Or bring the old part in, 'tie plain,
You'd not go wrong."
From end to end he searched the
bins,
Clawed oyer castings, bolts and pins,
And slchmed: his fingers and rots
shins,
It made him cuss.
But still he searched with sinking
heart
And in the last bin found the part.
'Twas ever thus;
"That's it," the farmer cried °' with
glee;
"I thought 'twas number thirty-three.
Now what's the price o8 that to. me?
Great jumping Tell 1 I I
Not forty cents? an awful rate
Por a little thing that's got no
weight.
Oh, Well, just put it on the slate."
THE EARTH AND MAN
A little sun, a little rain,
A soft wind blowing from the west-
And -woods and fields are sweet again,
And warmth with the mountain's.
breast.
So simple is, the earth -'we triad,
So quick with love and life her frame:
Ten thousand years have dawned and
fled, '
And still her magic is the same.
A. little love, a little trust,
A soft impulse, a sudden dream -
And life as dry as, summer duet
Is fresher than a mountain stream.
So simple is the heart of man;
So ready for.ne* hope and joy:
Ten thousand years since it began
Have left it younger, than a bey.

A monarch, when he breaks all rules,

The old method of making mint
,jelly from the leaves was enough to
frighten all but the hardiest and most
determined cooks. You had to make
apple jelly first and then add the
mint. It was a long, tedious process
and even then, one couldn't be sure
of getting goad jelly. The modern
"short bail" method using bottled
fruit pectin which • will put a jelly
into even such things as mint leaves
which contain, no pectin or jellying
substances of their awn, takes only
fifteen minutes and the result will
be a perfect jelly.

and delicious. It adds an air of

Is your camera ready? And have
you made your Labor Day plans with
a -view to picture chances? That's
always a good idea when you're
planning an excursion -keep the
camera in mind, and select a tour
route, or holiday spot, that you know
is' full or picture opportunities,
The more fun and activity, you
can pack into the week -end, the snore
snapshot' chances you'll have. Wher-
ever something is goingon, your
camera should be ready- for action.

Diem "in step" with the prevailing

very little light, so you must use a
