ocToBER's PARTY

w OBEHS PARTY
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came:
The Chestnuts, Oaks and Naples
And leaves of every name.
The sunshine spread a CARPET.
And everything was grand;
Miss Weather led the dancing:
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow:
The Oaks in crimson dressed:
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best.
All balanced to their partners
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then in the rustic hollow
At hide and seek they played:
The party closed at sun down
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder:
They few along the ground,
And then the party ended
In hands across, all round.

SOME READABLE VERSE

Ito The DRAFTED MEN
Hail to the National Army
For this is democracy's fight;
This is the war on the teaching.
That might and wrong the right.
It is yours to go with the colors
And stand behind the guns;
1t is ours, with our hearts and our sub
stance, #
To stand behind our sons
So you, in the far off trenches,
And we, whom your arms defend,
Till the flag comes back triumphant
Shall live for the selfsame end;
But yours is the high adventure,
And yours is the honor when
Our country calls for your youth and
s@5 strength
So hurrah for the drafted men!

FRUIT OF THE TREE
When apple season hits the land
My muse forthwith proceeds to sing
And dance a joyous saraband,
And just cut loose like anything,
She chants the Northern Spy, the
King,
The Snow and every other brand
When apple season hits the land.
Away she cries, with fruit that's
canned;
Bring on the Spitzenburgs, and bring
The apple pies, and fetch to hand
The apple dumplings, rich and bland,
And cider with its pleasant zing.
Plums, melons, grapes can't hold a
candle to the apple-savoring
OF the dulcet nectar, oh it's grand!
$50 sound the lutte, strike up the band
Let all the joybells madly ring;
For all who shall dare to reprimand?
IS Our sorrow loses all it's sting
When apple season hits the land"

LIFT YOUR coRNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus SO It lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops Of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re.
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

GERMAN ARMIES SUFFER
ANOTHER CUT IN RATIONS
Two MeatIess Days Each Week and
Rice Has Been Replaced by
Dry Turnips.

London, June 2.-The conditions as
to food supplies in Germany may be
conjectured from the fact that it is
now definitely settled that the best
fed of the German fighting units sub
sist on ration which equals only
three-fifths in weight and value that
which is issued to the British troops.
Since year ago the German SOL
diers' bread allowance has been cut
down one-third. The greater part Of
this reduction has occurred during the
last eight months
There are now two meatless days a
week in the German trenches. Even
the indispensable sausage allowance
has been cut down to two and three
quarters ounces daily.
Rice has been eliminated entirely,
being replaced by dry turnips.
