Navy Is Ordered Recruited To
Full Strength

Washington, March 25'-Presi-
dent Wilson took steps today to
place the Navy on war footing.
Bv executive order, he direct
ed that the Navy be recruited
without delay to full authorized
war strength of $4,000 enlisted
men. Taken in connection
with emergency navy construc-
ton already ordered, this means
that the President has exercised
the full limit of his legal powers
as Commander-in- Chief to pre-:
pare the Navy for war.
For the Army, the President
directed that two new military
departments be created in the
Atlantic Coast region. The
order means that the task of or.
ganizing whatever Army Con-
gress may authorize will be di.
vlded among six departmental
commanders instead of four, in
the interest of speed and eff
cheney in mobilization.

Below is reprinted a piece of
poetry which was printed in

has been preserved by a reader
of this paper, and is just as appli-
cable today as it was the day it
was printed first:
Come on boys, l have some
thing to tell you,
Come near, | would whisper it
low;
You are thinking of leaving the
homestead
Don't be in a hurry to 20,
The CITY has many attractions,
But think of the vices and sins:
When once in the vortex of
fashion,
How soon the course downward
begins.
You talk of the mines of Aus
tralia-
They've wealth in gold without
doubt;
But ah, there IS gold in the farm.

Ii only you'll shovel it out:
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high and
then low;
Better risk the old farm a while
longer
Don't be in hurry to 60.
The great busy West has in
ducements,
And so has the busiest mart,
But wealth is not made in a day.
boys,
Don't be in a hurry to start.
The bankers and brokers ere
wealthy,
They take in their thousands or
so,
All, think of the frauds and de.
ceptions-
Don't be in hurry to 90.
The farm is the safest and sur
est,
The orchards are loaded to day:
You're free as the air of the
mountain,
And monarch of all you survey.
Better stay on the farm a while
longer:
Though profit comes in rather
slow,
Remember you've nothing to
risk, boys
Don't be IN a hurry to 20,
