of the speakers:
"Briton or Teuton, it matters not,
Once we've been through the melt

Changed forever, each heart and

Old-world fealty left behind
Henceforth, Yankee, in blood and

We have our country, and one alone,

"Land of the larger, nobler view,
Land of the immigrants dreams
come true;
Country where tyranny, caste and

Yield to the sacred rights of man;
Nation whose glorious history
Brightens the hope Of humanity;
Storehouse of treasure, IRISH and vast,
Gift of a providential past,
Spared by fortune of time and place
To nurture a new and favored race;
Land of our opportunity,
Land of our children's destiny =

Heroes of History's reddest page,
Writ in an awe-struck modern age,
Kinsmen, our comrades of yesterday,
Stand embattled in deadly fray.
Dim though the conflict be under

Strong are the claims of II brother

Yet, mid the world-engulfing wars
Menacing dark our adopted shores,
Stronger than ties of blood or birth,
Stronger than all the ties of earth,
First and last shall our passion be
Thy honor, peace and integrity

Appreciated Our Efforts

One of the old friends of the
Courier who sent one of his boys
to the training camp from this
point last Friday acknowledges
his appreciation of the efforts of
the citizens of Keytesville to
honor and cheer the boys start
ing for the army. Here is what
he said in his letter to the Cour-
ier.
New Cambria, Mo-, Sept. 22-17.
Editor Charlton Courier
Keytesville, Mo.
Dear Sir
write to expires my appre-
citation and gratitude towards
the people of Keytesville and
vicinity, who made and took
part in the farewell demonstra-
tion for the boys of Charlton
County who left for a great
mission and sacrifice of their
services and blood for our coun-
try if necessary. 1t was surely
q royal affair carried out to en-
tire satisfaction.
A bunch of flowers have left
Charlton county. but it is the
wish of those left behind that
they may have the joy to see
them return in the near future.
Respectfully,
A. C. Steffes.

Angels show has hit it rather
hard here this week. Two nights
rained out and the State Fair
have combined to limit perform
ance and attendance. Never
theless, the show is above the
average so far that our people
are pleased and turn out when
they can.
There is a display of fruits
and vegetables. field products
and canned stuff in the window
of the Brownlee bank at Brook
field, the samples of what the
young boys and girls of Park
and Adams Schools in Linn
county have done. Experts
would have to do their best to
make a better showing.
Bill Hamilton had a fine sale.
He had good stuff and there was
an immense crowd to bid on it.
A team brot $3.50 and a cow $1S4
and a heifer $122. He was
much pleased and buyers satis-
fed with what they got for
what they had to bid to get it.
Mr.. Hamilton left this week for
Sidney. Neb. It is with much
regret that the community views
the loss of such SPLENDID neigh
bors and citizens. We most
heartily recommend them to
the people of Sidney.
F. E. Westbrook, our raeat-
man. left last Friday with the
recruits for camp Funston. That
he went because he had to. that
he was a popular and progress
i've business man and all round
good fellow. that he had cheap
ened meat at this city and serv-
ed his customers faithfully and
honestly and become q citizen
whose departure was much re-
GREETED as he was loath to leave.
no one who knew him win deny.
Our best wishes for the safe re-
turn Of the citizen we had learn
ed to prize are extended to him.

time in the history of events in
this city when neither the Star

any of the vast throDg war at the
station that day. Not a man,
woman, boy or girl at the grounds
tho in no way connected with
any of the departing young men
but who felt the pervading sol
emnily too acutely to utter a
sound in applique and even when
the troop train pulled in with IL

lnlS CITY nau pidnneu IL DuI
hardly dared to hoped for such
a successful carving out of a big
program crowded into so short
space of time as was at command
of the various committees last
Friday when 73 units of raw
material from which armies are
formed and selected from the
choicest specimens of young man
hood to be found in this county
were mobilized here for their
departure for camp Funston at
Ft. Riley Kas.
The recruits named for this
trip were here by border thurs
day afternoon. Many of the
parents of the young men came
with them and said good bye,
preferring to do so before their
actual departure and declining
to return Friday to witness the
leave taking of others or to the
second time undergo the pangs
of regret with their cherished
offspring. Many sweethearts
and sisters of the boys came
Thursday afternoon and remain
ed until the vision of fiancee or
brother faded around the curve
| at the station. Thursday night
the freedom of the city was Civ
en- to the boys by the mayor and
that many of them syailed them
selves of the open door to liber-
tiles many sleepless citizens will
testify but none complain. The
picture show was stormed and the
manager thot he was in for CIV
ing a free performance but be-
fore the films had run out the
boys handed over the price and
Manager White enjoyed the joke
more fully.
Next morning about the street
before the majority of citizens
had thot of getting out of bed
the boys soon to be on their way
to camp of raw boards put to-
gether in a few weeks were cir
culating and discussing the out
look from its various angles as
they viewed it. Pairs, platoon
and single soldiers were to seen
rejecting on the near future and
gathering information on the
subject of their assembly from
any source in sight or within
sound. Be it said to the credit
of all that whatever mental dis
turbance was felt was concealed
frDm all but the practiced eye of
a psychologist and all day until
the special train was boarded
the stolid determination to act
1ell their part pervaded the en-
tire squad.
By nine o'clock arrival from
all parts of the county parked
cars and teams and sought sight
of the future soldiers and infor-
nation concerning war plans
and by IL o'clock the city was
practically full Of people. The
Forrest Green band and the band
from SalisbuFy were on hand
and the value of these organiza-
tions to the success Of the day
cannot be over estimated. Price
Park was filed and addresses
delivered by Father Ernst, Judge
Fred Lamb. Rev. G. C. Crutcher
and Supt j. G. Bond. head Of the
Red Cross in this county. Tho

al nature touching more nearly
the latent feelings of the boys
and their relatives and friends,
and was beautifully and excel
lently rendered. Rev. Crutcher
dealt more particularly on the
manhood of the recruits and urg-
ed that they preserve their honor
and integrity and manly poise
thru and after all which can lay
before them.
Immediately after the speak
ing the gate way to the groan-
ing table was thrown open and
first the recruits we're sent
around them with big pIatters
and told to help themselves to
what ever they wished and as
bountiful. The dinner was grand
and it appeared that there was
sufficient to feed the entire line
at the front in France, but sorry
to record that before the entire
crowd assembled had been served
the rations had run short, owing
entirely to many overworking
their privilege and taking enough
for a dozen and wasting three
fourths of it. To the women
OF the town and county highest
credit is given for the splendid
and unlimited supply of provision
for though it was intended that
we should prepare only for the sol
diers boys, still there would have
been enough had many got there
on time for numbers were late
and,had to spread their dinners
where ever they could find a
place and enjoy it practically
alone, much to their disIiking.
After dinner at one o'clock
the recruits reported to the local
board at the court house and
at one thirty automobiles were
filled with them and
They were driven to the sta.
ton. hundreds of automobiles
being in the procession. There
were 247 cars and about 40 bug
gles, carriages and wagons at
the station and a crowd such as
was never seen there before.
Salisbury was represented by
nearly 100 automobiles, Bruns-
wick had near 60 and from every
part of the county were cars in
numbers. Nearly 400 cars alto
gether were here that day and
of course the dust had to fly.
AT the station the bands al
ternated with good music, the
Salisbury band opening with
How can / leave Thee" for
the benefit of sweethearts about
to say good bye to pretty girls.
The departing boys put in good
time talking to those most pre-
ferred and following instruc-
tions of the local board. A
freight train ahead of the spec
ial caused hurried good byes to-
be said, and when it was dis
covered that it was not the troop
train, disappointment was visi-
Bile on every face for the sad
ordeal had to be gone thru with
again and until its arrival thirty
minutes later equanimity was
not restored.
Parents are most certainly put
to the seyerest test on such oc-
casions. It is a question whe-
ther it is not better to have The
leave taking at home. The eff
feet on the young men as well
as the relatives could not bel
worse any where else than at a
station where 50 many are gath |
