There is an unprecedented demand

of the land that has not been cropped
because OF lack Of drainage should be

soil and consequent poor drainage,

"A TOAST TO DIXIE FROM
PENNSYLVANIA"

While we're waiting for the verdict,
And We don't know where we stand
Well just record impressions,
Or our stay in Dixie land.
When we boys from Pennsylvania
Packed our grips and started South,
Maybe we'd some funny notions
OF the things we'd heard about.
Just as how they'd take us Yankees
After quarrels Of years ago,
And few o us had figured
Well, we really didn't know.
We've no doubt the boys from Dixie
Looked about the same at us,
Figured maybe we've come down
here
With a mighty lot of fuss.
But we're glad we're both mistaken,
For our doubts were swept away,
When we locked each other over
And we had the game to play.
Then we marched and drilled and
worked,
And | really must confess,
We'd good old time together
Many arguments at mess.
When the Caps" would shout com
mands
Squads right and right about
If fellows brain was tagging
Then his ncighborS helped him out.
In the barracks in the evening
When the wind outside was cold.
Gathered round red-hot fire
Many jokes and tales were told.
We discussed all sorts of questions
Fought many battle Der,
Argued many hundred subjects,
Things of old forgotten lore.
After months of work in trenches
In barracks on the field,
We're kinder changed ideas
And opinions had to yield
Dixie's sons and Pennsylvania
Know each other better now,
And we've wiped away the feeling
OF that other family row.
Hand in hand, and arm to arm
The nations troubles face,
On to hope and victory
A grand and glorious race.
And when this camp is ended
And the task for us begun.
Wen always remember Dixie
And her brave and loyal sons.

Mothers of Sons" as follows:

Mothers Of Sons" as follows:
War is always sacrihce-on the
part OF the women. But it is some
thing more than sacrifice, too-it
is a service, and, as in the present
case, it should be also an inspiration.
1t is not a selfish war on our part.
We are not fighting for conquest, or
for territory, or aggrandizement We
are fighting for the highest motive
that has ever been given to nation,
something higher even than patriot
ism-humanity and the brotherhood
and freedom of all men, freedom from
the last shadow of nan-made au-
tocracy.
We are giving our sons, it is true,
but they have never been offered on
nobler altar. If they return to us
they will be better men for what they
have done, and we, as mothers and
wives and sweethearts, will be better
women for what we have offered. If
they do not return to US they will
have given their lives in the same
| cause for which Christ was crucifcd
the great Notwithstanding and
world-enevolping love for humanity"

NOTICE.

To the Chairman Parish Councils

Dear Sir-We notice a sugges'
ton in the press in reference to
paying the poll tax of the boys
who are absent in the army and
navy. We think this fine idea
We paid our poll tax some time
ago and shall pay one more to-
day for some boy who is absent,
fighting for our freedom.
Get your Parish Council busy
and find out just who owes this
tax and pass the hat in each town
or ward so we may have all the
boys in position to take part in all
elections on their return from the
position to take part in all elec-
tons on their return from the
front. This is very important, So
please get busy at once. Remem'
Der, this tax not only puts our
boys in position to vote but this
money goes to the public educa-

Please do it now.

SOCIALIST LEADERS PLAN
PEACE CAMPAIGN.

New York, Nov. 10.-The ques-
ton Of peace or war will be
fought out at the polls in two con-
gressional districts in this city
within comparatively short time.
The Socialist party leaders, elated
with their successes last Tuesday,
are preparing to make a straight
out fight at special elections for
two seats in Congress by nominal
ing candidates who will stand for
"quick and honorable peace. -
The elections will be to fill vacan-
cies caused by the prospective
designations Of two New York rep
resentatiyes.
Morris Hillquit, who as the
Socialist 'peace" nominee for
mayor received 142,17S votes and
who expects his total will exceed
Mayor Mitchel's when the soldier
Vote is counted, may be drafted
by his party for service as can
didate for representative. The
Socialist party managers want a
more aggressive exponent Of
socialism in Congress than Repre-
sentative Meyer London. and
they believe that Mr.. Hillquit sur
passes Mr.. London in resourceful-
ness.
There is little probability Of the
special elections being held be-
fore 1913, and after January l
women will be voters in this state.
Upon their vote, it is probable the
result will hinge.
