MY FRIEND JOHN

l have friend,
Who is to me.
AS good and kind,
AS he could be.
I rode with him
A mile one day
TO haul to town
A load of hay.
The Gay was hot
And we did sweat
Before that hay
Was On, you bet"
A large brown dog
Ran after me,
And he and I
Could not agree
/ took Johns whip
And tanned his hide
And with a yelp -.
He stepped aside.
John, he laughed
And said to me
Give him some more
And make him flee.
On the way to town
We had a jolly time
Telling jokes and riddles,
And say, we did feel fine.

missing CHOIR BOY
FOUND TO Be SAFE
Clarence Edward Reid Probably
Awaits Parents in North Carolina.

That Clarence Edward Reid, aged
II years, was simply in quest OF ad-
venture and now firing of it is about
to come home was the apparent solu-
ton last night of the little choir
boys disappearance from home last
Friday and the receiving yesterday
by his father. Edward S. Reid, of a
mysterious letter from Enfield, n. c..
which was in the boys own hand
writing but stated that it was from
the police.
Clarence when he left his home at
919 Twelfth street northwest, sup
posedly to return to the Thomson
school, where he was student in
the Sixth grade, had S12 in his pocket.
1t Is thought by his parents that this
enabled him to reach the Southern
town.
The boy has not been seen by his
parents since Friday noon. Yester-
day his mother received a letter from
Enfield that bore the written inscrip-
ton of the Police Court. 1t said
that the police had her boy and
would send him home. Both his
father and mother are positive that
the boy wrote 1t.

AWAIT BOOST
Number on List for Promo
ton In Service-Some
Denoted.
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY.

Camp Meade, Admiral, Nd, Oct.
22.-Just now everybody in the
ranks of the District soldiers is
watching for the appointment of
new "noncoms."
There are a number of Washing
tonians on the list for elevation In
the service because the three
machine gun companies have not
received their quota OF under
officers and the commissioned lead
ers are looking over the soldier tai
ent very carefully.
1t was learned today that more
than a score of the Districts quota
who were temporarily advanced
have been denoted or placed back
in the ranks. They resume service
as privates once more, because,
while they have been privileged to
give orders, they have not followed
them up or seen that they were
properly executed. There is no
room for frivolity or friendship in
the army once a man is advanced.
He has his orders to execute and
the men under him must follow
them and respect his authority.
otherwise men will be selected who
will be competent to command these
attributes as an officer.
Pass s1,O0o,o 900 Mark.

the chief source of satisfaction for
the men came In the announcement
that the Seventy-ninth Division, which
comprises Camp Meade. had sent the
figures on the clock for the liberty
loan above the s., ,OOo.O05 mark: in fact
up to sl,O53.150. This does not include
