WEEK IN SOCIETY
HK WENT FOR A SOLDIER
By Ruth Comfort Mitchell
He marched away with a blithe
young score of fclin
With the first volunteers,
Clear-eyed and clean ana sound to
tlie core of him. \
Blushing under the cheers.
TUey were fine, new llags that
swung a-flying there,
Oli, the pretty girls he glimpsed i
a-crying there,
Pelting him with pinks and with
roses—
Billy, the Soldier Boy!
Not very clear In tlio kind young
heart of him
What the fu3s was about.
Bit* the flowers and the flags
seemed part of him—
The music drowned his doubt.
It's a fine, brave sight they were
a-coming there
io the gay, bold tune they kept j
a-drumming there,
While the boasting fifes shrilled
jauntily—
Billy, the Soldier Boy!
■ioo 11 he Is one with the blinding j
smoke of It—
Volley and curse u.nd groan:
Then he has done with the knight
ly joke of It—
It's rending flesh aucl hone.
There are palu-crazoii animals
a-shrieking there
And a warm blood stench that is
a-reeking there;
He fights like a rat In a corn
er—
Billy, the Soldier Boy!
Tnere he lies now, like a ghoulish
score of him.
Left on the field for dead:
The ground all round is smeared
with the gore of him—
Even the leaves are red.
The Thing that was Billy lies a-dy-1
ing there.
Writhing and a-twlotmg and a-cry
ing there;
A sickening sun grins down on
him—
Billy, the Soldier Boy!
8: ill not quite clear iii the poor,
wrung heart of him
What the fuss was about;
Seo where lie lies—or a ghastly part
of him—
While life is oozing cut;
Tii-.'re are loathsome things he sees
a-crawling there;
There are hoarse-voiced crows he
hears a-calling there,
Eager for the foul feast spread
for them—
Billy, the Soldier Boy!
Ho 7 much longer, O Lord, shall we
hear it all?
How many more red years?
Story it and glory it and share it
all,
In se«s of blood aii.l tears?
They are braggart attitudes we've
worn so long;
Th»y are tinsel platitudes we've
sworn so long—
We who have turned the Devil's
Grindstone,
norne with the hell called War!

RURAL SCHOOL FAIRS IX CAN
ADA.
As a means of educating country
children for the agricultural voca
tion, the rural school fair was a
new thing in Ontario less than a
decade ago. Evidence of ita popu
larity, and Indirectly, of its value,
is to be found In the fact that the
movement behind it has spread until
In 1914 there were 148 school fairs
covering 1391 schools, or a large
part of all the rural schools In the
province. During the yoar named
the pupils entered in these fairs
numbered 75,000, and in tha crop
or vegetable-sowing competition 23,
000 plois of land were cultivated.
! 11 iniareus o£ children also took care
of poultry, calves, colts and otuer
animals.
These rural school fairs in Can
ada enow their great value in the
interest they develop in intelligent
and advanced agricultural iauor.
The children learn to do their tasks
with skill, and tnis in turn brings
them a satisfaction that at least
! borders closely on pleasure. Tney
are made capable of doing a great
er amount of work tnan the unedu
cated chii<Dren, and with less ef
fort. At the present ratio of growth
in number and attendance, tneue
rural school fairs will be able to
supply Canada, within a few years,
with au army of trained farm work
ers, men and women, annually.
The United States department of
agriculture is encouraging boys'
and girls' farming clubs tuat are
working to a similar end. Several
of the stales have taken up this
practical method of dealing with a
problem that involves tue abandon
ment of the farm, the drift toward
the city and the high cott of living,
and with good prospect of reaching
a solution. The Influence of tne
rural school fairs and of the farm
clubs already has been felt in the
neighborhood of populous cities on
both sides of the line, and it is
working rapidly toward the village
and hamlet neighborhoods, for the
school fairs and the farm clubs are
not wholly Industrial; they have
also a useful social side.—C. S.
Monitor.

Tou cannot afford to grow old.
In these days of strenuous competition
It is necessary to maintain, as lonp as

It Is impossible to do this without re

The presence of Dandruff indicates the
presence of a burrowing germ which
lives and thrives on the roots of the
hair until It causes total baldness.
