Wartime Work

The click of needles ever is
sounding in my home, while |
make fierce endeavor to grind my
daily pome. I'm giving Art and
Letters the hardest kind of knocks,
while wife is knitting sweaters,
and aunt is knitting socks. And
sundry loyal neighbors have come
to knit a while, and they pursue
their labors in patriotic style.
They're talking while they're
knitting, in accents loud and
clear; and while my harp Pm hit
ting, l cannot help but hear.
"Old Jinx is worth a million, and
maybe much beyond; he bought,
so help me Lillian, a fifty-dollar
bond" The dame who does my
washing is poor, so poor she
groans; but up she comes a-slosh-
ing, and digs up fifty bones. The
day that brought no wringing for
her has seldom dawned, but she is
gayly singing, because she owns a
bond" We'll know who are the
slackers, I'll bet my widows
weeds; we'll spot the wordy
clackers who don't make good
with deeds. The aiders and
abettors of Wilhelm must be
canned The girls are knitting
sweaters, and socks, to beat the
band. l hear their needles click
ing, with patriotic fire, while
am sadly kicking the stufing
from my Tyre. Can bard have in
spiration, or sing a song, my
dears, with all that conversation
forever in his ears?

SIGNS ALONG THE RIVER,
where ROCKS ARE MANY

As a safety first measure the District
police department will shortly place big
warning signs on the rocks along the
river above the Three Sisters. The sub
merged rocks cause eddies in tho swift
current that catch the canoeist, and un-
less particularly skillful there Is dan
ger that the boat will be upset. This in
most cases means death. as the eddies
catch the person in the water and car
ries him down under the rocks, where
the bodies remain. often for months.
before they finally come to the surface.
March % last Frank Spug was thrown
out Of boat above the Three Sisters
and drowned. The harbor police have
dragged for the body numbers of times
without success.
BY placing big signs on the rocks
warning those seeking pleasure on the
water of the danger spots. 1t is thought
by the oficials that accidents can be
prevented.
