GOING AND COMING

We are going across the ocean,
Scotch Sandy, and myself, Jack;
And when the war is over.
You'll see us hiking back.
There will be a lot of fighting
And Wen be there to help.
To traunce the German Kaiser,
And his Autocratic pelf,
We will have with us the Allies,
The British and the French;
And the good old L. S. A. Yankee
Will be beside us in the trench.
We will take the German prisoners,
And no women will we kill;
II possible TO avoid il
In the turmoil of this mill.
The Scotch and Irish fighters,
With all the Allies too;
Will be very much assisted
By the Old Red, White and Blue;
Well follow up each advantage
And make those soldiers run,
Then march right up to the castle
And get out the leading Hun.
The reason now for all this fuss
Is caused by Kaiser Will'um;
And as soon as he is captured,
He's in for a d-m good lick'un.
Then when the battles over,
And we get our release,
Wen return to America
With all nations then at peace.
-Hy. ]. S.

TRAIN GREEN FARM
HANDS LIKE COLTS

You must train a green farm hand
just as you would colt is what a
northern Illinois farmer told the
writer recently. Proper training
will make good horse of the green
est colt, and it will make a good
farm hand of the greenest boy"
Il hired a high school boy from
Milwaukee last summer. He had
never worked on a farm before. /
showed him how to harness the team.
and then took him out in the corn
field with me.
This corn is growing here for a
purpose / told him. THAT purpose
is to produce just as many ears as
possible. Every time that you pillow
out or cover up a stalk of corn you
have destroyed one and possibly two
ears. 1t is easy to destroy hundred
stalks in cultivating an so rod row,
and not think you are doing much
damage either. You can pillow a
hundred rows in a day, and if you
are careless there is a hundred bush
is not loyal to Uncle Sam or to your
employer
81 had him follow me all the fore
noon. showing him how to set and
handle the cultivator. and how to
uncover the corn without injurinr
it. Then ! put him on the cultivation
and l followed behind all afternoon
That training took a day of nay time
but as a result that boy was soon
cultivating corn better than my old
experienced men"
There is a good deal of wisdom in
this farmers method of traininE
| boys the kind of wisdom we VII
all have to learn if we are to pro.
vide ourselves with capable fam
help next year.

ONLY GROWING OLD

| The last persons to admit the ap-
! prOach of age are we upon whom
age is creeping. Like lovers, we are
the last to learn and admit our dis
order. Our friends gather on the
latest birthday and tell us we are not
a day older than we were fifteen
years ago, and we almost cheat our
selves into believing them. But we
are growing old.
We have just little less hair to
comb over the bald spot than we had
fifteen years ago. We are little
re tired when dinner times ocmom
more tired when dinner time comes.
We have a little more time to doZe
over the newspaper at night and a
little less desire to stay with the
crowd until the small hours of the
morning. We are growing old;
that's all.
little less anxious are we to have
our own way than we were fifteen
| years ago, little less ready to blame
| others for their misdeeds, a little
more charitable in our views of
others opinions. little less eager for
/ the gossip that wipes away reputa-
tions. A little less desire we have TO
! convert the world to our opinions, a
little less care for stocks and bonds
and gold, little less haste in MAX
ing decisions. a little less dare in
risking new adventures. A little
more love we can have for our old
friends, a little greater appreciation
of their worth, little more interest
in our boyhood and girlhood days, a
little more Zest in telling of the
prancks and adventure that gladden.
ed our youth. We are only growing
old.
We should like to feel we are as
young as we were fifteen years ago
But youth consuming time has sap
ped the strength of which we boast
ed then, added few more lines to
our brows, sprinkled our hair with
snow, and made us somewhat wiser
men and women as we have glided
inch by inch near the haven to which
all of us sail and from which none
returns. We are growing old.

SHOWS WELL PATRONIZED

Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under The Sea" screened
at the Crescent Theatre Friday and
Saturday nights of last week drew
large numbers to the popular play
house and it is the unanimous opin-
ion of the majority of those present
that il was one of the best shows
put on since the opening of the Cres-
cent Theatre in Audubon. The pat
ronage received was well deserved
and Preston Bros. are to be com
mended for the high class pictures
they are giving the public. All their
shows are good but don't miss the
war picture next Monday and Tues
day nights, which are exceptionally
good.

Blind men are by no means always helpless, as I discovered myself the other day. l happened to pass blind man selling newspapers in the street. It was a windy day, and he was cry ing, "Have got 1t right way upT- referring to his placard.
 He hadn't. so put 1t right for him and gave him a copper, pitying his misfortunes. Then I stopped for a moment to look at something In a shop window, and almost immediately arose again the doleful outcry. Have I got it right way up?"
 I turned around astonished. The placard was upside down again. 0i course 1t may have been the wind.- London Telegraph.

4 CALL FOR AID

Miss Mary G. Hindshaw at one time a resident of Skagway, where she successfully taught music, and ct an earlier date made her home in Sitka, now writes from Middleton, Lancashire, England, that she is called upon to deliver lecture on Life in Alaska" be- fore the Manchester Geographical Society. Miss Hindshaw has lec- tured on several occasions during the past two years and will respond to the call from this very learned society. If anyone has a few good pictures of .Sitka, pictures of the Inside Passage to Skagway or h. dian pictures or any good photo graphs of Alaskan scenery, he or she will confer a great favor on Miss Hindshaw by sending them 10 her direct or by leaving them where Mrs. L. s. Keller can get them to mail. This lecture is for the bene- fit of the war sufferers and it is hoped that a considerable sum will be realized. Let us all add a small token of sympathy by sending a photograph, to be used in the lecture. Miss Mary G. Hindshaw, Mount Cottage, Mount Road, Mid dloton. Lancashire, England, is her address. Miss Hindshaw fur tber writes, These English days are dark and sad and fraught with anxietp and grief for all of us-one never loses thought of the dreadful war, and when one goes out and sees the maimed and broken, lame and bandaged men with their cheery faces and brave eyes, it breaks ones heart. You scarcely ever see one of them with dark or Respondent ex- pression, and yet we have to remem Der what they have been through. The one unpardonable thing in their minds seems to be ''downhearted." All, must keep bold front aud not falter. It is wonderful" Miss H.ndshaw seems to think the prices arr high in England for food. When she sees the Skagway lst that VII be sent her, she will think the ef- feet of the war high prices has hit Skagway as well. l,....."

Ancient Dolls.

Among ancient races the doll was taken very seriously and served a higher purpose than to amuse child That wax dolls were made and were used in magic rites POO years ago and more before Christ we know, because Theocritus mentions them and be- cause he uses a Thessalian word dagys, to describe them, the inference is that they were known in Thessaly' But when they were first made of wax and when wax dolls were first used as playthings there is nothing to show London Chronicle.

Whales Once Lived on Land.

Whales OnSe Lived on Lahds
 Scientists tell Us that whales did not always live in the sea, but in prehis. toric days dwelt upon the land They are not true fishes, and their skeletons still give evidence of the days when they possessed four legs. Further. more, while fishes breathe water from which the air is separated by means of their gills whales breathe air and sepa- rate the life giving oxygen from the other gases by internal lungs like land animals. in contrast to fishes also they are warm, red bloodeA animals. The largest whales are found in the antarctic and arctic seas.
