pond.
Now this Machine Gun Battalion,
Has got the Kaiser's gait;
For we're all from South Dakota,
That good old Coyote State.
We all had occupations
From farming to digging gold;
That was back along the Black Hills
In the happy days OF old.
Old Dakota Is a country
With soil so rich and deep;
It's where those sneaking coyotes
Live on the fattened sheep.
Now, IL we heard their bowling
At night while walking post,
Why, we'd think that South Dakota
Was getting mighty close.
But as we are in Kansas,
In camp where dust does roll:
All we have is sweet memories
OF happy days Of old.
Now we're getting down to business,
And we're surely on the job;
For we're going to get the Kaiser,
Lay him beneath the sod.
AA0 At 80 y ~
1t is stand and get your man;
Use the bayonet or a trench knife.
Hand-grenade him when you can.
It's a case where friendship ceases,
Well be where there is no law;
Let them bet their kings and aces, ),
Beat them on a four-card draw.
While they hold their ace high
flushes,
We will hold q king jack full;
And they'll know we're there for bus
ness
And prove to 'Bill" he's been a
fool.
Now, among us there are punchers
From Pierre and Eagle Butte,
And when astride of a mustang.
You'd think they're mighty cute.
And say, while talking riding
They never have been beat,
For. they rake 'em In the shoulders:
Never known to lose their seat.
Why they aren't afraid of nothing,
And this rs no false tune,
For I saw those boys ariding
Last 28th of June.
NOW lHlk Vi " uOISe dDuChluk
And splitting Dakota air,
That horse was Tipperary
AT the Harding County Fair.
Why I know they'd ride the Kaiser;
Yes. handle him like a toy.
Even make him think of the sauer-
kraut
He ate when but a boy.
Now you see we aren't telling
All we know to Kaiser "Bill;"
But we'll make him think Of Warren,
In the fight at Bunker Hill.
Yes. we'll make him think of Stark,
AS mid mountains seen; ;
For Old Glory will be followed
BY a line Of olive green.
Yes, he'll wish he'd never seen us.
In our uniform Of drab,
For steel jackets will be streaming
Making BILLY" very sad.
For our machine guns will be acting,
And we'll all be feeling glad:
AS we're bound to get the Kaiser,
He might have known he'd get in
bad.
Now, some Of us were farmers
Anu never DdTTeu n man,
We could raise a load of Eaters
In q small tomato can.
We also have a doctor,
Could knock others out of sight;
He'd cure a case of measles,
Yes. in n single night.
We eve have a lawyer,
Just as smart as one could be;
Could have cleared Harry Thaw,
Put him out of his miseree.
Now I'll mention G. G. Williams
Who halls from Arkansaw. :
He IL here awaiting for q chance
To ruin the Kaiser's law.
Yes, he's here agiving pointers
On the old machine gun drill,
Or how to use the bayonet:
When we corner Kaiser "Bill."
We have an auctioneer,
with lungs that roar on high;
Could cry q million dollar sale
And never blink an eye.
Now, left we have some drummers,
That have always made 1t pay;
Could make q two-bit outfit

TIT COYOTE BOYS.

Did you ever sit q thinking,
In your mind you had a doubt
or what we are doing in Camp Fun
ston;
What this war was all about?
We're here because we're needed
BY the stripes that wave on high,
And we'll stick by the flag OF honor
Until the day we die.
We know il Is our duty,
To stand by Uncle Sam
And raise the old flag higher
When we reach that foreign land.
or course we're only rockies,
And we have a lot to learn;
But they tell us we must learn Ii
Before we cross the briny pond.
Our officers they are dandies,
But they have an awful time
Teaching us just what to do
When the command Is double time,
But our plumbers we are mending
AS the days 90 rolling on,
For we know we've got to learn Ii
Before we cross the deep blue
pond.

Georgia Peach Keeping Ahead of
 Competitors for Batting Crown

ROush Has Good Lead in National.
 Judging from Cobb's recent work he will finish the 1917 season with practically the same average as he had at the ends of the 1914, 1915 and 1916 seasons. During those three years Cobb varied only three points, hitting .36S in 1914: 37O in 1915 and .371 in 1916. With this season almost over, Cobb is hitting .372.
 Iris Speaker will likely hold sec ond place over George Sisler, the St. Louis star, as "Sizz' is out of the game with a bad wrist. Speaker is hitting .353, against .347 for Sisler.
 As the National league season is coming to close there are only five batters hitting 300, less than in any other year in the leagues history. Eddie Roush of Cincinnati holds a safe lead, with an average of .341 Horsby of the Cardinals is safely intrenched in second place. The third position stil is open. Kauff of the Giants holds it as. present with an average of 1908, and is closely pressed by Groh and Burns
