he will tell you the whole story"
I went there in a rage, and when he
told me that those were the facts, l
got up and said:
General, l cannot discuss this
thing with you; it is worse than any

Furthermore, this is a rich alluvial

haps a lot of German people will ov-
erhow into this country and settle
here; and after the war, il we have
to give up Poland, the question Of the

Poles with a view to populating these

it would seem almost impossible to
believe that any mar on earth could be
guilty of deliberately making state

this is in direct keeping with what

wonderful prospects and startling re-
suits. But it remained for Mr.. Roger
Friermood of this city, to report the
best crop of any SO far heard of. Last
night while ~conversing with some of
"the boys" at the Overland Green
wood Company's office the subject of
corn came up and he told of his crop
which he stated was so fine and the
stalks so high that a mar standing on
the ground could not reach to the first
ears and that he was arranging for
some special step ladders to enable
him to gather his crop this fall.

She Had the Fate of Kingdoms in

She was only a will-of-the-wisp girl,
a bespangled cashier in a cafe on the
Franco-G German border. But she was
destined for bigger things.
Fate took her from her tiny world
Of humdrum and threw her into a
whirlpool of government intrigue and
diplomacy. The hearts, hopes and lives
Of hundreds were with her.
But her master-a big, tawne blus-
tering brute of a man-mistreated her.
Naturally she found a haven in the
friendship of strangers, and meeting
an artist who sees in her eyes a "soul
Is ''clean7as a fame" she trusts him.

THE KID HAS GONE TO IHE
COLORS.


The Kid has gone to the %colors,
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cGidled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thought him a child, a baby,
With never a car at all;
But his country called him man-sise
And the Kid he heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum;
He bowed his head to Old Glory,
And thought that it whispered,
"Come!"
The kid not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with Patriot-joy;
To add his name to the roster,
And God, we are proud of the boy
Ihe Kid has gone to the %colors,
1t seems but a little while,
Since he drilled a school boy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he's a man, a soldier,
And we lend his listening ear,
For his heart is a heart of loyal,
Unscourged by the curse Of fear.
His dad, when he told him, %shuddere'
His motherhood bless her-cried
Yet, blessed with a mothers nature
She wept with a mothers pride.
But he whose old shoulders straight
ened,
Was grandfather memory al
To years, when he, too, a youngstel
Was hcanged by the flag to a man
