THE MAN WHO WORKS
IN THE SHOP

You've always heard of the brave en-
gineer, who guides the train
along,
And also the fireman, so sturdy and
so strong;
Likewise, t.4e colitac.or, Who signals
train to stop,
But never word have you ever heard
of. the man WHO works in the
shop.
He is the one who possible makes the
sixty miles an hour,
For if he'd make single mistake, the
engine would furnish no power.
He works hard for his living until he's
ready to drop,
For a place to sleep. and a bite to eat
and his little old job in the shop.
When the whistle blows In the morn
ing, his sweet dreams end with a
sob;
Yet he doesn't swear or mutter a
prayer, for or against his JOB;
But straight way down to the round
house, where the engines roar
and pop,
Where the side-rods clang, and the
popvalves bang, he hustles there
in the shop.
Then here's to the skilled mechanic,
the expert who works just SC,
That the ,nelneer has no cause for
fear with his engine, fast or
slow;
And when the last whistle is sound
ed, and the last signal given to
stop,
On the heaven-bound line, in day
coach fine, rides the man who
worked in the shop.

KINGS PRAIRIE

The last rain was a good one re-
plenishing cisterns and ponds. The
roads that had been like concrete for
r2any months were made a little bad
rot by the rain but by the heavy
travel.
Quite a few have been attending the
revival meeting at Liberty North,
conducted by Revs. Combs and Good
night. They report good intenest and
large attendance.
It is sad to report the deaths of the
Prairie Mrs. Edgar Jackson and Miss
Lucy Reid. Mrs. Jackson, just in the
prime Of life, left babe a few months
cid. Miss Reid had long since pass
on the borrowed time of life. Death
is no respecter of persons. Miss Reid
was laid to rest in the Prairie ceme-
terry beside her brother.
Mrs. Mary Stribling and daughter
Georgia went to Springfield, Satur
day evening, to attend the revival
meeting at the M. P. church conducted
by E. r. Stribling. The meeting is
largely attended and a deep interest,"
is manifest.
We understand that Rev. Combs,
assisted by other ministers, will be-
gin series of meetings at New LIB
erty the first Sunday in December, to
continue indefinitely.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Weber spent
Sunday evening at the home of Mrs.
Stribling.
Mrs. Edna Collar, who has been
here on an extended visit left last
week for her hose at LaJunta, CoIo.
Thanksgiving Day is once more at
hand and while many think their per-
sonal affairs are not what they would
like them, when we look away from
home and realize the awful condition
Of great part of the human family,
then say we are thankful, when the
earth is strewn with the bones and
dead bodies of thousands Of women
and children that have perished and
millions more following on. 1t seems
that the earth would cry out for an
avenging God to complete the destruc-
ton of wicked men. Then be thank
gu1.
Sunday school was well attended at
at New Liberty church last Sunday.
Next Sunday is Rev. Combs regular
time at New Liberty. All are cordially
invited to attend these services.

TEUTONS WIN BY BIG
DRIVE ON ROUMANIA
The Entire Line on Alt River Is the
Prize of Central Powers.

London, Nov. 28.-Another raid by
airships over the northeastern coast
of England took place last night. The
official statement says:
"Hostile airships crossed the north
eastern coast Monday night. Bombs,
it is reported, have been dropped in
several places in the northern coun-
tics, hat no reports Of casulties or
damage have yet been received.
The entire line Of the Alt river in
Rumania, Irunning north and south
through the country from the Tran
sylvania Alps to the Danube, now IT,
in the hands of the Teutonic allies.
In all directions the invaders arc
continuing to make progress, with
Bucharest, their main objective, daily
coming nearer.
The southern and eastern drive in
the Alt region has brought the Teu-
tonic forces across the Topolag river,
while to the south, between Richi de
Vede and Valeni, their line has been
drawn considerably near the Ruma-
nian capital. Alexandria, forty-seven
miles southeast of Bucharest, has been
taken by Field Marshal Won Macken
sens troops.
Considering the swiftness of the ad-
vance of the Teutonic allies through
Wallachia, comparatively few prison
ers have been taken, although semi
official reports credit them with hav-
ing captured considerable supplies of
needed stores. Near Orsova, twenty
eight officers and 1900 men were made
prisoners, while in the Alt region,
near Tigveni, ten additional officers
and 300 men fell into the hands of the
Teutons.
In a big battle extending over a
front of about seventeen miles north
west and northeast Of Monastir--be-
tween Trnovo and Makovo-the en-
tente allies, according to Berlin, have
met with a severe defeat through the
failure of an attack launched against
the lines of the allies of the central
powers.
