TWELFTH COMPANY

Inquiry has been made concerning
shipment of freight from Hood River
to Fort Candy. Arrangements have
now been made so that any freight can
be sent to soldiers prepaid or collect,
if sent through any shipping channels
via Astoria. However, since the gov
enment boat from Astoria to Fort Can

eliminate drayage in Astoria. Freight
should not be sent via llWaco, Wn.

Tune of "Where Do We Go From
Here.
Oh boy, oh joy, where do we go from
here?
Wen take Berlin from Kaiser Bill
And make him shed tear.
But when we see the enemy
We'll shoot them in the rear.
Oh boy, oh JOY, where do we go from
here?
Tune of ''Its Long Way to Tip
perary.'
Its long way to go to Berlin,
Its long way to 60,
It's long way to go to Berlin,
Where We'll hit the final blow.
Good bye Fort Candy,
Farewell U. S. A.
Its long, long way to go to Berlin,
But we'll be there some day.
Tune of sold Folks and Young
Folks"
We're the o. c. A., the o. C. A., the
good old o. c. A.
We're the 0. c. A., the o. c. A., the
good old o. c. A.
But when we've licked the Germans
And we are on our way
Well yell to h with the Kaiser Bill,
And up.with the U. S. A.
The following parody is sung when
the boys are tired, down hearted, or
have just been dismissed from guard
duty, and is sung to the tune of "Take
Me Back to Old Montana:
Take me where there amt no guard
house
Nor walking post at night;
Where everything is nice and clean
And bed bugs do not bite;
Where ~nere amt no taps or reveille
You can sleep both long and we'll.
Take me back to old Hood River,
For this army life is H.

WAR TIME PROVERBS.
Here Are Some Worth Taking To
 Heart at the Present Time.
lChicago NeMs.l

Chicago News) Racial wisdom as embodied in popular proverbs is well worth needing for help n the conduct of life at all times There are many proverbs specially worth taking to heart in time of war. Here are some of these wartime proverbs. which l commend to the at ention of all who would really do their hare toward setting the world free from he menace of despotic, autocratic, lust naddened Hunnism:
 Even war is better than a wretehed leace.
 He that makes a good war makes a good peace.
 A good citizen owes his life to his country.
 Wars must be waged by waking men, He that shows pa ssion tells his en- my where to hit
 He that can be patient find his foe tt his feet. . To die or to conquer are the terms of war
 War gives no opportunity for repeat ing a mistake.
 A brave and generous mind will shun no danger to serve his country. The path of duty is the path of safe ty.
 A deceitful peace is more hurtful than open war.
 Precaution is better than repentance. A promise is debt
 It is fair degree of plenty to have what is necessary.
 A poor spirit is poorer than a poor purse
 Rashness is not valor
 The remedy of tomorrow is too late for the evil of today
 Where remedies are needed. signing avails not
 In thnes that must be. it is good to be rcsolute
 Rest is won only by work.
 He that would have the fruit must climb the tree.
 selfshness in council brings mlsfor- tune to the state. For that thou canst do myself, rely not on another.
 shame comes to no man unless he helps it on the way
 Unwilling service earns no thanks Be silent. or say something better than silence.
 Sleep not in time of peril
 A soldier ought to fear nothing but God and dishonor
 Provide for thy soul by doing good works.
