A few verses written by DeForest
Joslin in March. 1913, shows that the
small boys mind. turns to war even
in time of peace. The following
verses were written for his work on
speaking day at Polk school:
ding soldier will soon be dead.
He hears the bugle blast
And says. "Will God first me last
To help in the needless task"
dying soldier Law on his bed
A dying soldier asleep and dead.
The soldier was So brave
That it sent him to his grave.
There's not a battle for him to fight
There's a better place that's bright.
He fought for right
He fought the foe.
But be heard Gods call
And he had to go:
THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who was going to get married be-
fore the war until she found out that
the ten thousand dollars life insurance
on the soldiers is payable to their
widows in monthly payments only
Now she has decided to wait until
after it is over to marry.

tables Is a great saver of time. labor
money and shipping space.
Now is the time to start the hons
