When his comrades found his body they discovered that he had pencilled on his gas mask the words quoted above. It was the soldier’s own epitaph. To him It expressed the great motive of the war, the purpose of his own sac rifice. One can but conjecture as to what went on in the mind cf the soldier. Other than the brief inscription there Is no record. But what volumes this brief message ■pesJcal It it legitimate to let one's imagina tion fill so the record..

This Is. of course, in a wet town. In a dry town they gather at the town pump or the corned drug store and ex plain just how it ought to be done. Usually these cuckoos Know so much about civics, politic* and government than when they go to mark a ballot they manage to gum it up so that the tellers throw it out. It's the same way with raising chil dren.

The only time he ever went barefeet was when he took a bath or went to bed and nobody ever saw a high tide on his neck where he had washed and the towel didn’t look like a ton of coal after he had dried his face on it It was never necessary for his mother to take the wash-rag and do a second job of cleaning out his ears, and he would have just as soon have missed a session of school as go out with dirty shoes. The only use he ever knew' for corn silk was to make wigs for dolls. As for rolling a gob of it in a piece of newspaper and making a cornsilk cigarette, the thought never occurred to him, for the gang under the electric light on the cor ner never saw him after 6 o’clock.
