THE BIG QUAY COUNTY FAIR WILL HELD AT UM SEPTEMBER e. and THREE
THEM BALDWlNS

Them big Baldwin Engines has
sure hit this town, an they hit it so
hard they Jared up the groun':
You'd think from the means, groans
an squeals you can hear, that the
Kaiser an all of his army'd been
here.
There are scores Of good men
who've lost their jobs, but they're
not the ones that's indulgin' in sobs;
it's the fellow whose next in line for
the can" that's maxim a noise like
an "also-ran."
There's another big bunch that S
raisin yell; they say that the town
has gone plum to h---l; their knees
are so weak an their nerves like a
string they've sure lost their
Nanny" an everything
An these are the men that stay
indoors, in offices, shops an various
stores. Their glorious prospects are
that full Of holes; they couldn't look
pleasant to save their souls.
An where is the gore they're yell
lin" about? Only their prospects
wuz hit on the snout; an what If
they were, there's others as good
that's ready for reapin' If only they
would.
To the east, to the sonth, to the
west of this town are acres an acres
of crops gold an brown that the far
mers will sell for just fair price, if
you'll only quit frownin' an try to
be nice.
With crops an with cattle this
country is blest, an they're good for
the coin when put to the test. Our
farmers need money, the world needs
their crops, the merchants need bus
iness or close up their shops.
Now don't it look simple as A B G?
The answer is plain to a man up a
tree; but the mans in the branches
where seem is good, an not in a
hollow a-lookin' through wood.
Just get you some buyers to han
die the grain: a warehouse, If need
be, to keep off the rain; then the
| merchant wake up an go after biz,
then things will be comm our way
with a whiz.
We're sleepy, we're rotten an
down at the heel; we've lost all our
ginger an ready to squeal at the
very first sign of crimp in our
plans, an we lean on our counters
an throw up our hands.
II you want to go stale an die of
dry rot, just lay down an quit an
cuss out the spot that's made you a
livin' an kept you in health, with
chances a plenty to lay up some
wealth.
II prairie dog quit when you
plugged up his hole, the country'd
be free of the pest, bet your soul.
You plug him an shoot him an feed
him on pizen. but he's back on the
job fore the sun is a-risin'

Paris, France, Sept. Ia. II was
officially announced this afternoon
that the Gefmaus still are retiring
everywhere toward Germany. They
are abandoning all the positions
which they erected to cover poss-
BILE retreat.
II is announced that the German
retirement is being led by emperor
William in person.
The official statement follows:
[ First, on our left wing the enemy
md prepared, to the north of Aisne,
between Compiegne and scissors, a
line of defence which it was forced
to abandon. Some detachments
which il had held at Amiens now
have retired on Perrone and St.
Quentin.
Second, on the center the Ger
mans have taken up defensive po-
sition behind Rheims, but were un-
able to hold il. In the Argonne re-
gion they turned back toward the
north beyond the forest of Belnoune
and beyond Traincou. On the right
wing the retreating movement of the
Germans is general from Nancy to
osgos. Sunday evening French
territory in this vicinity had been
completely evacuated"
The first stage of the battle of the
Marne, which from the numbers of
fighting men engaged, the extent of
the line of battle and the terrific
slaughter, is perhaps correctly de-
scribed as "the battle of the ages,
appears to have been won by the
French and British armies, but the
main German army is still intact and
the supreme clash is still to come.
