In sad but loving remembrance
of our dear mother, Mary J.
Clevenger, who departed this
life one year ago, May 6, 1917.
Death has robbed us of our mother
.Whom we loved sod cherished go
It was mother, our dear mother,
Can we help but shed a tear.
Mother dear, you're not for gotten
Nor never wlll'you be,
For as lonjf as life and memory lasts
We'll always think of thee.
Mother we are so sad and lonely,
Since you have gone from us,
And there is no more pleusure
In this dreary world for us.
Home is no home for mother Is not
there,
But ha? gone to that home so peace
ful and fair.
In silence she suffered in patience she
bore,
Until God called her home to suffer
no more.
Her willing bands are folded
JJer toils on earth are done,
Uer troubles are all ended
Her heavenly crown Is won.
did not know the pain she had,
I did not see her dio,
I only know she passed away,
And never said good-bye.
I mourn for her in silence,
None shall sco me weep,
But in my sorrowing heart,
Uer loving memory I shall keep.

Discoursing LeCers Cause D.sertions,
. In a recent statement the War
Department strongly advises
against discouraging letters
soldiers:
Kecent reports from com
mandmg generals of certain
Army divisions indicate that one
of the fruitful causes of soldiery
absenting themselves without
leave is the discouraging letter
from home. Such letters fre
quently give alarming aud exag
gerated reports or conditions
surrounding the soldier's family
that some member is desperately
ill, that all are starving, or tha
they are being in some way har
assed. In instances such letters
have so preyed upon the minds of
soldiers that they have absented
.1 .!.
tnemseives witnouc leave to go
home, only to find that conditions
had been grossly exagf erated.
Meanwhile, the soldier had
been absent without leave l Be
rious military ofTense. His prob
lem then became one of facing
the penalty or getting deeper in
to trouble by de serting. Seme
times a man s pride or fear has
led him to desert.
"Every soldier wants to receive
letters from home. They should
be frequent, cheerful, hopeful,
and appreciative of the sacrifice
that he is making for his coun
try. They Bho uld be full of f am
ily incidents and cheerful home
gossip, iney should protect him
from the trifling alarms and the
small annoyances of everyday
life. They should encourage him
by giving full confidence that
his family and his friends stand
behind him in the great enter
prise he has undertaken.
