SOME READABLE VERSE
MARCHING SONG OFThE
ROCKIES

ROCKIES
He was just long, lean country gink
From away out west where the hop
tOads wink;
He was six feet two in his stockin'
feet,
But he KEEP gittin' thinner the more
he'd eat.
Yet he was as brave as he was thin,
When the war broke out he got right
in,
Unhitched his pillow, put the mule
away,
An then the old folks heard him say:
REFRAIN
Goodby, ma! Goodby, pa!
Goodby, mule, with year old hee-haw!
may not know what the wars about,
But you bet, by gosh, I'll soon find out!
An, oh my sweetheart, don't you fear,
I'll bring you king fer souvenir!
III git you a Turk an kaiser, too,
An that's about all one Teller could do.
One pair of socks was his only load
When he struck fer town by the old
dirt road.
He went right down to the public
square
An fell in line with the soldiers there.
The sergeant put him in uniform,
His gal knits mitts fer to keep him
warm;
They drilled him late, they drilled
him long,
Then he marched away to his fare.
we'll song:
Goodby ma! Goodby, pa!
Etc.

THE 1917 MARCHING SONG

And we're needing prohibition now, as
never heretofore,
While they are marching to victory
CHORUS
Hurrah! Hurrah; for Safety First
we shout,
Hurrah! Hurrah! Come, men let's HELM
them out!
Vote vice and liquor from our land,
you can, without a doubt,
while they are marching to victory.
Hear the tramp of soldiers, they're our
boys who go to stay,
And fight, perhaps to die, for a. world
wide democracy
On! Keep them pure and sober, wheth.
er here or far away,
While they are marching to victory.
CHORUS n,
We will toll to feed and clothe them,
and our allies every one,
We will pray Gods care and blessing
at each rise and set of sun,
But to Congress we must leave them,
when all is said and done, q.
While they are marching to Victory
CHORUS Jr u
Let's support our legislators, true, and
urge them to legislate,
King Alcohol and vice away, they've
no room in any state,
Make Uncle Sam Gust Suuelch" them
both God grant he does not wait,
While they are marching to victory.

He loves a wine that's mellow, -,
An ingle warm and bright. ii"

A song that's true and sweet
How he with you rejoices,
How dance his nimble feet!

She said that every morrow =
To her but darkness meant.
l babe her up and follow,
And eat of daughters bread;
And now her cheeks, once hollow,
Are plump and rosy red!

HEIGHT TO CUT SWEET CLOVER

If the first crop of sweet clover is
cut too low the plants are killed. When
cut II to IA inches high a good second
resulted. These results were secured
in trial at the North Dakota Expert
ment station in 1916. The sweet clov-
er send out its second growth from the
stem. The buds form in the angle
between the stem and the branches. II
all the branches are cut then all the
buds from which new growth can
come will be removed. The lower the
branches come out, the lower the first
crop can be cut without killing the
plants. - Agricultural Extension De-
partment, North Dakota Agricultural

A bad back is a heavy burden.
A burden at night when bedtime

Sunday morning so automobiles left
Litchville in string as an escort for
the boys to Valley City. Although an
unusual sight, that many automobiles
nicely holding the line and gliding
along between green fields, was
sight good for sore eyes. Arriving
here pleasure ride around town was
taken, the entire party rounding up at
the Rudolf cafe where banquet was
served at 2 o'clock to the 200 or more
who made the trip. Levi T. Peterson
was selected to address the volunteers
on behalf of the citizens and present
them with the substance of their lib
erality. Francis Moran responded on
behalf of the volunteers. After the
banquet the visitors went to the city
park, the river the Chautauqua and
other places of interest before return
ing home.
Litchville has reason to be proud of
its volunteers. They are fine bunch
of young manhood as their scores in
the medical examinations will attest.
The boys are proud to enlist for their
country and from a community that
will take such a stand for the interest
and welfare of those it is sending out
to battle for right and humanity.

France some time must elapse before
thew will constitute an appreclable
unit of defense and offense. Our &C.
tiyities thus far have been confined
to preparation. We have seen only
the pageantry of war and none OF its
horrors
Americas part in this world-war is
not merely the incidental one OF an
additional belligerant, because Amer
lea is destined to become the savior
of the world, almost a religion with
every patriotic, humanitarian citizen.
But we cannot, must not, go at it
blindly, believing that our moral sup
port alone will ultimately achieve the
victory. We are in the bloodiest war
the world has ever seen. We must
tear the scales from our eyes. We
must shed our SNUG complacency for
deeds of action and self-sacrifce. I'm
DERIVING a disregard of economic fun
damentals is a fatuous hope, amount
ing almost to a,.belief, that somehow
the war will be ended by the New
Year. The notion that the war will
soon be over and that re.establishment
soon will come springs only in pro-
vincial minds.
There is no gulf between autocracy
and democracy; there is white-hot col
lision out of which new human race
must be evolved. We are in for such
a world-revolution as came with the
end of the Roman empire and its So
called world dominion. The present
situation is superlative-the French
revolution and Napoleonic wars were
mere bagatelles by comparison.
When America entered the war not
only was the last reservoir Of capital
tapped, not only was the economic
regime of interest, rent, wages and
profits attacked by taxes and bonds in
their last stronghold, but the last and
highest of all human groups was sum-
moned to the defense of the most com.
pick civilization to which any nation
has ever attained. That what we are
fighting for is worth any sacrifice that
it may cost is undubitable but we can
not, We must not, shut our eyes to the
self.surrender and restraint to which
we must submit that we may succeed
in the great struggle that we have un-
dertaken. To win the war and make
the world safe for democracy" we, as
North Dakotans loyal to our state and

possible manner
