HOW TT FEELs

The following timely "poem" was
handed in by Frank Beste, who says
that altho he didn't write it, he can
personally vouch for the truth of it.
When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred;
And your tonsils squeak and your hair
gets dry,
And you're doggone sure that you're
going to die,
just drag to bed and have your chill
And pray the Lord to see you thru.
For you've got the flu, boy
You're got the flu.
Also
When your toes curl up and your belt
goes flat,
And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas cat,
And life is a long and dismal curse;
And your food all tastes like hard
boiled hearse;

ment and the members of the coming

ment and the members of the coming
legislature are especially urged to be
present. This is the most important
problem confronting the state and it is
highly essential that sound, far-sight-
ed legislation be formulated.
The proposed legislation will pro-
vide for the acquisition of lands for
approved projects by the commission;
appropriate Improvement, including
provisions for farm buildings, equip
ment and live stock, and subdivision
into suitable farmsteads for individual
ownership, with smaller independent
allotments of land for farm laborers,
and the selection of applicants as set
tiers, based upon their farming and
financial ability and fitness as citizens.
Only citizens and persons who have
been in the military service, or its
auxiliary industries, will be eligible
as applicants.
Settlers will be required to make
small initial payment of the purchase
price of the, land, and somewhat
larger payment for improvements,
equipment and live stock supplied by
the commission. Deferred land pay
ments will extend over a period of
time not exceeding forty years while
payments for physical improvements
and other personal property will be
made over a considerably shorter pc
Rod of time. The terms OF, purchase
will be SO easy as to bring the oppor-
tunity for home settlement and the
ownership of an estate within the
reach of all thrifty and honest citi-
zens. The areas to be settled are so
great as to offer first class home to
every family now in the state and to
many thousands who are yet to come.

FATE OF HINDENBURG LINE
Military Observers at Washington Ex- peCt Next 4S Hours to Determine Reliability of Entire System.

Washington, Aug. 28,-Develop- ments on the western battle front during the next 48 hours should de ternine the fate of the much Vaunted "Hindenburg linc'', in the opinion of some military officials here. With the strength of the line already ma terialJy impaired by the British wedge driven around it's left flank and even more telling blows threatened by the steady advance of the French through NeSle toward the SOmme and by the British east of Arras observers hero believed that the scheme of defense pOpularly held in Germany to be the bulwark of the Teuton western front is in q, fair way to become untenable before the main German forces have been driven back to it.
 The impression prevailing in mili- taIy circles here is that General Foch's tactics have forced upon the enemy the necessity of making every effort along the present front to stay the allied advance. without he option of withdrawing "unnoticed" to a, previously selected line For more than six weeks, they point out the main German armies have been under ceaselesS pressure which, dur ing the last ten days, has been so great as to necessitate a practically unchecked retreat on so mile front

BAN ON SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

 Industries Board Rules.

New York, Aug. 29.-The war in- dustries board placed new school build ings in the nOn-e essential class yester- day, and denied the application of the New York board of education for ap- proval of plans calling for new con- struction involving an expenditure of approximately $9,O0O,O00.
 The war boards order means that no new schoolbuildings may be erected anywhere in this country for the dura- tion of the war, except where the new buildings are intended to replace those already in use and which are beyond card the hopes of the new board of education that a start might be made this year toward providing full-time seats for at least some of the 500 New York children who were on part time when the schools closed in June.
 Allowing for the approximate natural growth of the city, it was estimated last night that 25O00 more children will seek admission to the citys schools this year than were attending them when the sessions closed in June. For the duration of the war these, and the other children who will be added to the citys student population from to the citys student population from year to year will t''just have to be crowded in as best we can," according to Frank D. Wilsey, president of the board of education. who was in formed of the order of the war indus tries board last night.
