Our Soldiers.

We've had months of preparation,
We've had time for meditation,
We've had much of legislation
And day for registration.
Now the time is drawing near
When the boys we hold so dear
viii with souls devoid of fear,
Enter on their new career.
They'll be soldiers brave and bold,
And with hearts as pure as gold
they will fight like Knights of old
And old glory they'll uphold.
With such purpose good and true
They will fainting hearts renew,
They'll the German line go through
With our flag-red, white and blue

vigil over you in your infancy,
kissed away your tears in child
hood and remained your trusted

the love you have for the silver
haired mother who bathed your
scorching brow all through the
long sleepless nights of affiiction,
when your brain was wild with
burning fever? Is there no 9TH
er term you can find for her who
has followed you through every
trial. tribulation and misfortune
of your life? Has mother,
through all these years of labor,
watching and waiting, been
wasting her love on a worthless
bunch of clay. who, in the rosy
dawn of manhood has no other
term more fitting than "the old
woman" by which 70 address or

Toll of the Garbage Can.

We hear a great deal of complain ing, far and near, about the high cost of living.
 It has been satisfactorily estimated that if only one slice of bread was wasted by one family every day the aggregate weight of this wasted bread would equal 625 GOO pounds and would cost approximately $45 900. Just think of thati. Forty five thou sand dollars worth of bread alone vast ed in one day, And that does not in- clude the other odds and ends that are daily dumped into the garbage pail
 No woman with an iota of intelli- gence and speck of moral conscience will waste unnecessarily food of any kind.

FINE PENlNC FOR YOUNG MEN
 OFFERED BY NAVY

Great Lakes, H., Oct. 22.-Never in its history has the navy presented to the enlisted personnel such remark able opportunities for promotion, Sec retary Daniels declared today in an address to 13,000 sailors at the Great Lakes training station. 7
 The door of opportunity has been opened to the enlisted man., said the secretary. "The chance for promo ton never was so good as it is today. There was time, not so long ago, when few men who entered the navy could hope to attain @ commission. From 1909 to 1912 only three were ap- pointed to commissioned rank.
 Since the war began sos warrant officers have been commissioned as ensigns and 1,272 enlisted men have been made warrant officers. I believe these officers who have been promoted from the ranks will prove their com petence and worth. and expect that when the war is over those who have made good'' can be continued in the rank they have attained and in line for steady promotion
 Secretary Daniels commended the officers of the station for the system they have evolved for fitting men for active duty ahoat at a, station located thousand miles from tide water.
