SALISBURY EVENING POST. SAL ISBURY, N. C AUG. 5. 1918. PAGE THRES soc ETY "The Neglected House. To the Interviewer: "Will you publish for a woman left to keep ths flag with one blue service star," the following: (New York Herald) The grass is high around the step; Unpruned, the orchard trees Drop rosy treasurers overripe. A banquet for the bees, The blinds half off their hings swing, The broken window hanjfs a flag The broken gates ajar, With one blue service star. The pretty house aci oss the way Is kept with constant care; The lawn is cut, the walks are trim med, The flowers are biiifht and fair, A new (rarajje behind it holds A new and shinning car, But, oh, its window has no flag That shows a service star. And when the people pass alonjr The road that n ns between They do not glance toward the house Where all is neat and clean. But every eye is turned upon My paintless window bar, From which depends the sacred flag With one blue star. I'm proud because the weeds are thick. The roses choked to death, The fences down, tihe shingles off, ,A leaky roof of'head, It means my man has gone to fight For France and freedom far And left me here to keep the flag With one blue service star.
