TRY SMILING.

(By C. Baker, in "N.Z. at the Front").

When the rations come up short And you don't get half you ought, It's no use to raise a strafe ; That won't bring the other half— Try smiling. lf*your dinner you've begun, And your playful friend the Hun Drops a "sausage" on your plate, Do not sing the Hymn of Hater— •Try smiling. When- you get the blooming hump Garrying sandbags to the dump, And to make things rather worse It comes on to rain, don't curse— . Try smiling. When you go before the "quack," Having pains across your back, And he orders "Number Xine," It is little use ' to whine — - Try smiling. >t hen you feel as if the war I Would go on for evermore, Just remember that it can't ; Then make up your mind it shan't— Try smiling.
