SWIM OR BUST

They wrote down here from Paris
town,
And sent challenge bold,
To Maysville's Big Baraca Class,
Who Immediately took hold.
A fight they claimed they'd surely
give
So Maysville boys were game,
Accepted challenge, went to work,
TO win Baraca fame.
Now Paris bowled them over once,
In the first and opening round,
Then with great and mighty crash,
Proceeded to fall down."
Old Maysville is hustling town.
Her men are filled with pride,
Got Paris beat city block,
That's known both far and wide.
Our line has made steady march,
And captured every clash,
Won Hindenberg could not resist,
So brave and fierce dash.
Our men are true, we're in the lead,
Lets hold it boys each week,
And make Old Bourbon's Blue Grass
lads,
Respect the burg down on the creek.
This we'll do, "WIN OR BUST"
To do so means hard work,
But Maysvlle men are MEN WHO DO
And ne'er duty shirk.
| 1000 men in Baraca Glass,
We surely ought to rally,
With other towns of Maysvilles size,
Compare, and also tally.
| Tho we're ahead ii does not mean,
This contest we have won,
For Paris might get second wind,
And put us on the run.
So every man must do his best,
To bring his friends and neighbors,
And when the final count is made,
Feel paid for all his labors.
All men in town who do not go,
To Bible class elsewhere,
Are urged to join this big, live class
And all it's pleasures share.
Each Sunday morn at half past nine,
Well greet you with smile,
So Come on boys" help us BOOST.
BEAT PARIS BY A MILE.

where SEA TERMS ABOUND
People Of Nantucket ProdieaI in Use
OF Language That Has 4 Flavor
Of Salt.

Nantucket probably has a higher
average to the inhabitant of funny
yarns, queer sayings, odd views of
life and also local pride and assurance
than any other town in America.
Nantucket speech is a museum Of
nautical expressions. When Nantuck-
eter has luck he is running before the
wind. To scud is to hasten, and one
who becomes involved in his statement
is off his soundings. MASTHEAD"
means any point high up. Anyone who
Is quite fattened out in health is "keel
out" "Ive been keel out for a week
with the grippe" Whaling terms come
in here, too. for. when man says he is
"pretty nigh fin out" he means that he
is "all in''-in reference to the fact
that the dying whale rolls over on his
side, showing fin above water. "Tend-
ing the kettle halyards" means, with
women, simply doing the homework.
When man gets excited in argument
he is told to lease off," When your
guest departs, you say, "Well, fair
wind to YOU" Every figure is derived
from the sea.
When Obed Gardner, master mar
liner, wrote his will, in 1841, he word
ed it as follows, and 1t held fast:
"Item. have cruised with my wife,
Hubby Jane, since 1911. We signed ar
ticles, in town. before the preacher on
Independence day. l want her and
my son lothian to be captain and mate
In bringin' to port whatever l leave
and to see that every one Of the crew

know sheel be captain anyway, for six
months after we started on our life
cruise found out that was mate and
she was master. l don't mean that she
ever mutinied. but l know that when.
ever we didn't agree she always
manoOvred to windward.
"Item. l want mother to have the
house on Union street till she goes
aloft. Then l want it to 80 to the
children in equal lays, ETC."
As for whaling, q Nantucket boy
tied one end of his mothers darning
cotton to a steel fork and tried to har'
poon the family cat. AS the animal
sought to escape, mother entered the
room and picked up the ball. PAY out.

FRAZIER ASKS FARMERS
TO PLANT p: 4 LOT OF GRAIN
Issues Proclamation Calling At
tention to Need for Food
Stuffs This Year =

' Governor Frazier late last night Is
sued a proclamation calling attention to
the government reports showing the
probable yield Of winter wheat in the
United States tobc fifty million bushels
short of 1916 and ca ling upon the peo-
pie of North Dakota to plant every
available acre.
State Superintendent of Public In
structiOn Macdonald in Il bulletin issued
to teachers, superintendent and school
officers emphasizes the Importance OF
increasing the yield of North Dakota
farms and urges that the older boys
and girls be permitted to do their part
He suggests that managing boards plan
to open schools not earlier than Octo-
Der /: that spring vacation of four
or five weeks be allowed, and that the
schools be kept open in June and July,
when there is less and cheaper farm
work to do. He estimates this plan
would make available the labor OF
some 5000 older boys at a time when
labor is scarce and wages high.
