same by Mrs. White, representing the
federated clubs in the first formed

been considered imperative.
The larger movement is at the

man appointed by this committee for
North Dakota. Where state organiza-
ton presidents cannot attend they are

and besides organizations already
mentioned includes the suffragist
state organization, Eastern Stars
Rebekahs and many other women's
fraternal orders Of state wide scope.

On their way to France under Colonel
Charles A. Doyen, u. S. marine corps,
commanding the first overseas regi-
ment of marines. These men will be
in the front rank when the first divi-
sion of Uncle Sans boys in khaki plant
the American flag on the allies firing
line. Reports say that there was gen.
eral rejoicing among the marines when
1t was learned that Colonel Doyen
would lead the advance guard and that
every man was anxious to go with this
popular commander.
The United States marine is being
apart from other branches of the serv-
ice-a genus which has no closely re-
lated species-the marine corps is the
most closely welded organization in
the world. Contrary to opinion exist
ing in some parts Of the United States,
sailors nowadays don't really dislike
the marines or the marines dislike. the
sailors. Old feuds have died hard and
the Ratchet has been buried. Being
neither soldier nor sailor and yet both,
is what has developed in the marines
their loyalty and devotion to their
corps. -. $50. ..... 4
Uncle Sans marines always insist
upon being first and they have
succeeded pretty well in that because
they were the first branch Of Uncle
Sans fighting force to be organized,
having been formed in 1775 before the
birth of the republic, they fought and
won the first battle OF the American
navy, they were first in Tripoli in 1906,
first in Mexico in 1S47, first in Cuba
in 1898, first to enter Peking. China, in
1900, first ashore at Vera Cruz in 1914,
and now they are to be first to fight"
in France.

dies with children in the public
schools, having become convinced
that it was time for them to throw
off their lethargy and wake up, in
stead of letting their wives do all the
agitating for educational progress,

and sharpened their tomahawks and
taken the war path against inefficiency
and politics in the school department.

AMERICA

It's fine to see the Old World, and
travel up and down
Among the famous places and cities
of renown,
To admire the crumbly castles and
the statutes of the kings
But now l think I've had enough of
Anticipated things.
So it's home again and home again,
America for me!
My heart is turning home again, and
there | long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom be-
yond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and
the flag is full of stars.
Oh, London is a mans town: there's
ton of Sovereign Camp of the order
power in the air;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice
and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is
no place like home.
| like the German fir-woods, in great
battalions drilled;
| like the gardens of Versailles, with
flashing fountains filled;
But, oh, to take your hand, my dear
and ramble for day
In the friendly Western woodland,
where nature has her way!
I know that Europe's wonderful, vet
something seems to lack;
The Past is too much with her, and
the people looking back.
But the glory of the Present is to
make the Future 1ree-
We love our land for what she is,
and what she is to be.
Oh, it's home again, and home again
America for me!
| want a ship that's westward bound
to pillow the rolling sea,
To the blessed land OF Room Enough,
beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and
the flag is full of stars.
