MAKING OVER A BOOB

Say just put me down for another,
Though Eve subscribed before;
And I'll be cleanout grateful
II they jack up my tax some more.
As for paying higher prices
For things to eat and wear,
Or giving to units and hut funds
Ssh. nothing can make me care,
Cause ma today got letter
From Sonny (the lads in camp!)
And in it came a picture
Good looking? Oh, the young scamp!
Why, there he stands in his khaki,
And his regerler army hat,
With his gun held smart on his
shoulder,
And him smiling, the cub, at that!
You see. he slipped out and listed
With some chums from his college
frat
Spoiled fox trotters, mommer's dar-
lngs,
Auto speeders, useless, fiat.
Ma, she named the heir "Lleyellyn,"
And she raised his Fauntleroy,
But, praise God, he's cut loose from
the boob set,
And shows up an American boy:
Danger? Well, just let him face it
If his granddad did, he can.
Uncle Sam may claim all l own, sir,
For he's made our boy a man,

The 0lsons and the KEEL
lands Of Green Township

We recently corrected an error on
Our part IN emitting the name of Ole
II. kjelland from the list of Liberty
Bond purchasers in Green township.
This error of course was entirely
through oversight.
County Chairman Farley now asks
is to correct another error on his part
in emitting. also through oversight,
the name Of Thomas B. Olson, who
also lives in Green township on Sec
ton 80. Or course he bought Liberty
Bonds and did it promptly and cheer
fully.
The number Of Olsons who sub
scr-bed is a close second to the KEEL
land list, and many of both names
live III Green township, where bonds
were sold in every home. Mr.. Farley
addressed Red Cross meeting in
Green Township last Friday night,
and strong branch of the Barnes
County Chapter was organized. He
makes the prediction that the 100 per
! cent record will be reached in their
! Red Cross organization that was at
: tanned IN the Liberty Bond campaign
! He also predicts that under the able
and inspiring leadership of Captain
: Elmer W;cks and his lieutenants, the
! township will easily reach or surpass
It's quota on Red Cross donations in
the campaign now on throughout the
county
: The other townships will have tc
hustle to beat Green in any patriotic
undertaken They are all loyal dowr
there and they respond promptly and

Still next year in France"
When the girls go futtering-
Flushing cheek and tossing head

Let them walk the little street
Careless as before.
