SOMEBODY'S BOY

Awk
Somebody's boy Is far from home
And mothers tender care.
Somebody's boy needs your bright
est smile;
Somebody's boy needs your prayer.
Somebody's boy Is sad tonight,
Sitting alone III the gloom;
Somebody's boy Would be glad tonight
If you would welcome him into your
home.
Somebody's boy is thinking tonight,
AS the campfire kisses his hair,
OF mother and home and sister
And another, perhaps more fair.
Somebody's boy in khaki
Is some mothers darling boy;
SO honor, encourage and love him,
for remember
He's somebody's boy.
Somebody's boy is lonely;
Somebody's boy is sad;
Somebody's boy needs word of cheer,
Then somebody's boy would be glad.
Somebody's boy is a soldier brave,
A-fighting for the right;
Then give him word OF kindly
praise,
Twill make his pathway bright.
Somebody's boy is hungry"
Somebody's soldier boy
Hungry for mothering ~ hungry
for love;
Then love him he's somebody's boy.
My heart is a-breaking tonight, for
l know
My own precious boy will be
So soon in a far distant country
A-fighting for you and for me.
God grant that some mother will

Ny precious adopted boy,
For methinks his dear mother in
heaven
Is mothering somebody's boy.

WISH / WE'RE A SOLDIER

wish / were a soldier,
With buttons on my coat,
A bright blue cord around my hat,
And great big gun to tote;

I'd flirt little, too.
If only were a soldier man

I wish | were a soldier,
A-sleeping in a tent.
A-freezin' when the blizzard comes,
A-thawin' when the cold is spent;
I'd take a regiment Of men
And sail right straight to France.

Everybody knew iron was good for
people, but to find it in medicinal

where the trouble came, and while
chemists were making tinctures, pills
and tonics from metallic iron" that
was apt to ruin teeth, upset peoples
stomachs, etc., a farmer by the name
Of Horn, almost destitute, was bare

and family on his little farm down

The windows to his house lacked

were old bits Of rags and clothing

Then one day darkey, old and de-

which it was said could never be
cured, started digging a ditch and

Rent Notes Paid Mean
Profit To the Landlord

There is no question about
this, for if it were not so, the
landlord would cease to be: he
would not invest his money in
real estate if it did not bring
him a good profit.
And you, Mr.. Wage Garner,
are paying this profit to anoth-
er, when it is within your power
to save it for yourself.
Isn't it time you were giving
this some serious thought? No

ly along without having some
definite goal-some object to
work for.

TOT sugar.
source now largely wasted, changing
1t into nRture's own sweet. The raw
material IL free on every hand; the
investment for equipment is small In
comparison with other branches OF ag-
riculture; the profits are fully com.
mensurate with the study and labor In
voived. It would seem profitable 10
stop such a waste Of so desirable u
supply Of sugar. This waste can be
prevented oply by the education Of
,beekeepers."
The present honey crop of the Unit.
ed States barely exceeds 250.000,OOO
pounds. That the country produces
even this much Is unknown to most
people, 1t is stated, for while honey
was the chief form Of sugar used IN
ancient times, the ease Of getting cnnC
or beet sugar has placed honey In the
background. Now that our sugar sup
ply Is reduced by reason Of supplying
the allies with part of the sugar they
need. the demand for honey has In
creased not only domesticaIly but also
for export.
