THE OLD RUM RIVER.
lis twilight now along the shore
Of the old Rum river

IT'S twilight now along the shore
OF the old Rum river
IT'S many years since sat before, ~ ii &
Meath the leaves a-quiver,
And saw the fastening stream leap down
Over the dam in Anoka town,
To watch how the evening shadows frown
On the old Rum river.
The cleaning then was the same as now
On the old Rum river
And I watch through the dusk the checkered
flow
That changes never.
The evening star with it's constant light
Climbs up through the elm trees lofty height,
And my heart beats glad for the scene tonight
On the old Rum river.
There are lovers talking across the way
On the old Rum river,
And the breeze still carries the words they say
The same as ever;
The great trees hide all the things they do,
But I, who've sat in that place, too,
Will venture the thought that they 'sbill and
coo''
On the old Rum river.
The Father of Waters can hear
From the .Old Rum river
Their twilight meeting seems queer,
Yet know the Giver
Who lets their spirits now entwine,
Made the sturdy oak and the frail woodbine,
And he made the heart that clings to mine
On the old Rum river.

AS Viewed by An Outsider.

Referring to Colonel-Senator Cra-
vens' protest against Governor Burn
quist being invited to speak at Milaca,
the St. Cloud Journal-Press has this
to say:
There is an interesting story re-
garding the meeting at Milaca. The
Journal-Press is informed that at a
meeting Of the business men to make
arrangements for the meeting a Non
partisan candidate made a violent pro-
test against inviting the governor.
The business men were astonished that
there should be objection to inviting
the governor Of the state to appear at
that village and especially so able and
representative aSehief executive as
Governor Burnquist. The Nonpartisan
candidate was told that Milaca was a
loyal community and would feel hon
ored by having the governor Of the
state as guest. The editor-politician
was turned down by unanimous vote.

Be Courteous and Attentive.

No political advertising should be
permitted on the fair grounds today.
It is not a political rally. It is a
purely Red Cross patriotic affair.
Governor Burnquist is not here to
discuss politics he is here for the
purpose Of delivering a patriotic adj
dress and help the Red Cross. Any
individual who attempts to obtrude
politics should be kicked off the
grounds. We trust that every cour-
tesy will be shown the governor of our
state and that what he has to say will
be attentively listened to, and in order
to hear him good order must be pre-
served for it is expected that he will
be greeted by an immense audience.

JULIE /, WRITES AGAIN

Rattlesnake Sleeps in Close Proximity
to julie While He Dreams Of
Dear Old Princeton.

AAAASSSOAA oAAAOus
Camp Cody, June 5.All is well at
Cody although the days are blistering
hot. The usual routine continues.
Hikes have been in order the past
few weeks and this regiment recently
returned from one. Among other
stops we camped at Fort Cummings,
an abandoned post in the mountains.
It evidently had been large fort, as
the ruins cover considerable territory.
Cooks peak, said to be the highest
point in New Mexico, lowered about
six miles away. We slept on the
ground under pup tents, and man
aged to rest fairly well, although I
will confess that uneasy dreams
troubled me one night when a large
and vigorous rattlesnake was ished
out of bush about Is feet from my
tent. Hardtack, beans and canned
tomatoes were the chief articles of
diet and the men ate with relish.
Developments on the European bait
tlefront are nowhere more eagerly
followed than here, and the splendid
showing Of the Americans are truly
gratifying to their brothers in training
at Cody.
Of course the soldiers are interested
in the elections, and a number Of them
will vote by mail. This year particu-
larly, should the voters see to it that
good men and true are elected to office.
Only those whose loyalty is beyond
question should be chosen.
NOTES.
Lieutenant Morton has returned
from the school of fire at Fort Sill,
Okla, and is now in command of B
battery. Lieutenant Hofflander has
been in command of this battery sew
eral weeks and is still assigned to it.
Both Of these officers are credit to
Princeton.
Cook Walter Bemmelman has been
discharged on surgeons certificate
of disability. He was good cook and
good soldier, and one and all re-
GREETED parting with him.
Otto Blocker and Joe Jansa have
been promoted to corporals in A bat
terry, and Jack Schmidt is new cor
poral in the supply company.
The soldiers here are strong for
Governor Burnquist, who has ever been
a loyal friend of the boys in khaki.
Rumors as to when we are to move
continue, but they cause little or no
excitement now.
The ghost is due to walk today and
of course the men are happy. Captain
johnson is the regimental paymaster,
and Regimental Supply Sergeant Tom
Olsen handles the cash. JULIE.

Service Stars for Nurses.

~ OSs~AS s~ASSSs ~.
The question has arisen as to the
right of Red Cross nurses to represen-
tation among the stars on service
flag alongside the stars that stand for
the fighting men.
There is no rule regarding the right
of representation on service flags. So
far as the placing Of the stars is con-
cerned, the person or organization dis
playing the flag determines who shall
be entitled to a star, and on such a
flag no "star differeth from another
star in glory" except the gold star
that stands for the dead.
But without question the Red Cross
nurse, whose work is as distinct
ly military as that of the soldier,
whose service is as valuable and whose
life may be imperilled as his is, will
be voted a place in the galaxy Of the
service flag by the overwhelming
weight Of public opinion.
The Hun is hungry for blood Of hos
pital physicians and nurses. A sur
geon killed is to the German military
power a victory equal to the killing of
five hundred men at arms; and the
death of nurse must also be dear to
the German heart. So long as a
woman volunteers her skill and
strength and takes death chances on
the field of battle, the right to star
on the service flag is surely hers

Nothing l tried helped me at all, and

And if when he was still lad

They'd made him live forever by
Cutting his tonsils out.
