AS We Patrol The Rio Grande

We want to thank you all kind friends
For the things that you have sent;
But there's one thing We can't forget:
The many tiresome hours we've
spent
Guarding this lonesome border.
Protecting this Nation grand;
But we smoke that old Bull Durham
AS we patrol the Rio Grande.
Cakes and candies we much did miss
The first few weeks we were here,
But many good things received from
you
Have filled US all with cheer;
We know We are not forgotten.
And we know you understand
How we appreciate all those things,
AS We patrol the Rio Grande.
You sent US merrily on our way,
And YOUR hearts are with US. too,
While We are here to help protect
The dear old Red, White and Blue.
But we must admit we're lomesick,
We know We'll get the glad hand,
We're always thinking of you, friends.
As We patrol the Rio Grande.
Along these muddy banks we sit,
But our thoughts are far away;
We are working for a noble cause,
But of course we get poor pay.
Our feet have been sore from hiking
On sage brush, cactus and sand,
And our hearts long for old Elkton
As We patrol the Rio Grande.

down to this question in the homes

The indianapolis News. noting the
waste in fruit crops as enormous,
says:
Before autumn is again at hand it is
predicted that the cost of living will
be even greater. All the staples. 1t IS
said, will advance in price, and at
the same time, everything required by
human beings. not only TO feed them.

follow the upward course of the food
cost. The dollar that buys less now
than it bought year ago is likely to
buy still less six months hence. Nor is
there any prospect of downward
tIItd within the year. Even should
peace come TO Europe, it is the opinion
of those well qualified to judge that
high prices will continue.
There is, accordingly, more need
now than in the past TO make pro-
vision for the future. And more need
TO put an end to the extravaganza and
waste that hitherto have marked our
handling of the fruit crops especially.
There should be few reports TINS year
of peaches, pears, cherries, pluWs ana
apples rotting on the trees or on the
ground. The surplus should be pre-
served. Growers can equip themselves
at little cost with portable preserving
outfits, ard, with their use convert
loss into profit. The housewife at the
same time. whether Of the city or the
country, is advised by the government
and by the various organizations IN
terested to increase her store OF pre-
serves" of every sort.

Years ago on an Illinois farm the
son who expected 10 inherit the farm
was cutting down oats with the reaper
OF that day, cutting one way in order
TO take up as much as possible of the
badly lodged grain. Much of it how
ever was scattered from the bundles
and little care was being taken in the
gathering. The aged father vino had
bought and paid for the farm and ac-

June is a mild summer month which
is devoted almost exclusively to base
ball and brides. During the month Of
June thousands of hopeful brush league
ball teams spring into existence in
small but enthusiastic villages backed
by public sentiment and $500 guar
antee fund, and after fighting for air
for two months pass peacefully away,
leaving sad trail of back salaries and
unpaid bills. More money is spent for
baseball in June than during the
months Of January, February and
March combined, and every once in a
while some of it comes back thru the
gate.
June has only thirty days this year,
but they are all long and usually full
of heat germs. 1t is a very waste<ul
month with regard to heat being ex-
ceeded only by July and August, which
do not produce anything else worth
mentioning. Scientists hare ucver been
able to discover why June puts out so
much heat in raw and unbottled state,
instead of dividing up with some month
which hasn't any, like February. We
are told that heat and cold are reguiat-
ed by nature. but at times it looks as if
| the regulating were being done by the
government, as in the case OF the
Standard Oil Company. Almost every
June a lot Of unrestrain-o an1 until
tered heat is distributes over this
country which could he used TO good
advantage right after the holidays. If
congress would step in and prevent this
discrimination, instead of trying 70
crush the downtrodden hard coal baron,
it would be more popular than 1t is.

the production Of June brides There is
not day in the month which does not
witness some resolute, self possessed

THAI cosson.ALltn coxFeREnc

The Cosson-Allen conference came
| to nothing as might have been
and was expected. However, Mr..
lCcsson seems 10 have come
out of it with more credit
than Mr. Allen: for Cosson proposed
real plan for settling the case be-
tween the two candidates and basis
for workable proposition looking to
the withdrawal of one or the other
when the Cosspn confereeS proposed
that the conference canvass leading re-
publicans of the state by telegraph and
that the contestants abide by the poll.
The five Cosson men voted Tor the
proposition: the five Allen conferees
solidly against il thus blocking the only
feasible way in which the contest could
De settled and accepted by the voters
The conference was redundant in the
first place. There was no assurance
that five Allen men and five Cosson
men could meet on the eve OF election
ard settle anything. However, 1t
made one thing evident: Cosson was
willing 10 abide by the majority voice
OF a stated number Of republican lead
ers over the state and Allen was not.
There is but one conclusion TO be drawn
from this ard that is that the Allen
conferees were convinced that their
man would lose the canvass. And this
corroborares the general conclusion OF
observers that Cosson is the stronger
man and STRENGTHENS the advice 10
concentrate on Cosson as a candidate
who can be nominated in the primary.
Cosson is the stronger man; despite
the food Of expense that Harding and
Allen have been pouring into the cam
paign and are expending in these last
days of the campaign Cosson is the
peoples choice between himself and
Allen. II is 10 Cossons credit and
should make him votes that he began
poor and has remained poor thru his
official life and that he has neither the
money nor the inclination to spend It
that his opponents seem to have in
prciuSion. CoSsons race is being made
on his merit. He has not abused any
other candidate. He has defended him
self in a dignifed way. He has had
no such campaign fund TO scatter as
the wealth Of Senator Allen supplies
for his campaign. No outside inter
funds in the nope OF a re-establish-
ment Of a banished evil. Cosson has
made his fight for the sovernorship as
he made his fight as poor boy for
an education and place among men,
II Cosson gets the votes Of the Iowa
voters who have approved his course
as public official, OF those who be-
lieve the laws should be enforced, who
propose TO keep the saloon out Of Iowa
now that it is out and suppress Illegal
traffic in liquor, he should get as many
votes as all the other candidates COM
