The Soldier's Goodby I woke up early when it was just light And the world seemed smiling still. The wind was blowing as it did last night; The shaded road lay dappled and white Where the wheel tracks wound up hill. The grass and the trees seemed cool and green, With shadows flecked over all. The back yard looked deserted and clean; On the porch were the tubs and wash­ ing machine Lined up against the wall. This home I was leaving, it got on my nerve, And the tears showered thick and fast. When the storm was over I didn't swerve, For mother and dad and the cause I serve, My heart shall be true to the last. Our flag has championed freedom and right For humanity's sake over seas, Where despots say right comes by might. We will clash their steel in a glorious fight; The oppressed must be releaved. We'll follow the flag by tyrants feared Till it floats over fields that are new. Its red more loving and more en­ deared, " Its white more pure to the hearts it cheered; Hearts true to its starry blue. My soul gives body and voice to that cause, And my hand shakes a glad goodby; With you, dad and mother, I want your applause, It will straighten the kinks in the martial law, And will comfort me there if I die. We'll follow our flag for its stars vand bars Say freedom for every soul. Only God should rule in hearts like ours. We must rescue our brothers from kaisers and czars, And old glory floats to that goal. The Almighty will work some benef­ icent end For this chaos of nations. War and brawl Is the devil's last splurge. The old world trend To degrading slavery, too, must end With "E Pluribus Unum" for all. Mrs. M. A. Granger, McHenry, I1L Independence Ball An Independence ball, to which a cordial invitation is extended to every­ body, will take place at Stoffel's hall on the evening of Tuesday, July 3.
