Chris Anderson limped into the
Gimlet office this week to point out
that Ike Neevel's corn wasn't as big

that it nearly carried off the hook
and line before Anderson could land
it,

Leonard Zweegman went out one
evening this week and shot one OF
those pretty spotted kitties that one
sees around Lynden occasionally. AS
the little black and white fellow ran
into the Zweegman woodshed, and
moreover, since he belonged to that
variety that possesses an offensive
ly odorous secretion, neighbors and
friends will wait until spring before
calling at the 1weegman residence.

THE CALL TO SERVE :
BY James Austin Murray
. . = = IS
Awake! My comrades, do you hear
The bugle call and drum?
1t is the summons of our chief
Commanding us to come.
He calls for true and loyal men
To serve on land and sea;
To fight in freedoms name again
And set the whole world free.
Come, volunteer! Do not delay!
FOrsake the mart and plow;
Putt on your soldier clothes today;
Your country needs you NOW!
To serve and strive unfinchingly
Until we win the fight
And prove the truth convincingIy
That freedoms cause is right.
For 10! 1t is the hour of fate,
When tyrant thrones must fall;
'Tis not for us to hesitate,
But hasten to the call
To serve and strive deVotedIy
Together stand or fall,
Until the torch of liberty
Shall flash its light for ALL!
Then, with our glorious flag I'M
furled,
Well fight on land and sea
Till all the flags of all the world
Are one for liberty.
