WAR TIME CONTRIBUTIONS
THE OLD TIMERS.

Mr.. and Mrs. J G. Mcdonald, OF
Butte, Montana. hands us the fol-
lowing poem from the pen OF their
son Bert, now in the Philippines. Be
fore entering the army service Bert
was a Boise high school boy, and his
verse has attracted favorable atten-
ton from. the Boise daily papers.
Not long ago the uniform was barred
from many places,
You passed common soldier by
with cold ayerted faces:
You said the men In kakhi were a
scum upon the waters,
The sweeplngs Of society, a menace
to our daughters,
But, oh, the fickleness OF man, be-
hold the transformation
Behold, the private stands today the
idol OF the nationl
Yon honor him In word and song
you knit him countless sweaters
He proudly lords II over all who
thought they were his betters.
To dinners and receptions by the
score. you now invite him;
You clog the mail service with the
letters that you write him;
Y0n send him endless smokes" and
eats and proudest are the mothers
Wearing star to show their sons
are fighting with the othersl
Not long ago--but let's forget---the
war had brought you reason;
ffor things you said but yesterday
they'd charge you now with treason)
but do you know in every camp
wherever they are drilling,
The men you scorned To-day must
teach your sons the art OF killing?
And, when at last the nation strikes
with all its mighty power
The MEN you thought so little of will
lead them In that hour
WIN lead them on to@Yictory though
night may close about them!
To-day-for yesterday is dead-what
would you do without them?
