PEACE RECESSIONAL
(Apo'ogies to Kipling.*
Goddesirof Fortune, known of old,
Fate of our thin brown battle tine-
lUneath whose kindly hand we hold
The love of Peace from palm to pine;
Goddess of Peace, make us aware
Should we prepare? Should we prepare?
The tumult and the shoutiug dies
The peace ship sails to foreign shores
We hear the thundering protests rise,
We watch the Hag which proudly soars,
Goddess of Peace, hear thou our prayer,
Should we prepare? Should we prepare?
If deaf with ti in of war \e lose
All thoughts of bitter sacrifice,
Or miss the greater good and choose.
A golden calf to canonize.
Goddess of Peace, do thou declare,
Should we urepa-e? Should we prepare?

The Heart
of Night
Wind
By VINGIE E. ROE
It breathes the spirit of
the big pines, of the big
Northwest, of the big peo-
ple who are working there.
Daily's lumber camp is a
real one—the men and
women there are living
characters. If Ma Daily
doesn't make you love her,
little Siletz will. If you
don't hate Hampden for
his brutal passion, you will
despise Poppy for her
cunning, and as for San-
dry, you will hardly know
what to think of him.
CJ Change of scene, fresh
interest, the hearts of men
and women opened to you,
all are waiting for you in
this splendid story.
