Ole
National Guard
BY Kenneth MAcDousa11

Pushers of pens and pencils,
: Workers of wood and steel,
Doctors, lawyers and business men.
: Answer the bugle's peal.
Hurrying throngs of khaki,
Rumble of wagon train,
Chatter of cavalry horses,
: The Guard is called out again.
Back from the sun-baked desert,
) Stalwart, alert and hard,
Protecting the nations vitals,
Is the much-knocked National
Guard.
!, Give them the praise that's due
them
: For the regular calls 'em "pard.'
Watch out for the wives and fam
lilies of the men of the Nation
al Guard

He who loathes war, and will
do everything in his power to
avert it, but who will, in the
last extremity, encounter its
perils, from love of country
and of home who is willing
TO sacrifice himself, and all
that is dear to him in life, to
promote the weli-beins of his
fellowman, will ever receive
a worthy homage. - Abbott.
