Brynes is First Lieutenant in the

BerthOld Farmers Insist on Minot.
Plaza Road.

George T. Murray and about half
a hundred other farmers from the dis
trict south of Berthold were in the
city Tuesday confering with the board
of county commissioners relative to
the building of highway between
Minot and Plaza out in Rolling Green
and Shealey townships. The petitions
presented call for building about five
miles of roadway, part of which will
pass thru rolling district.
Mr.. Murray talked before the board
and explained that the farmers hoped
some day to see a government deliv-
cry of produce thru the district and
the farmers asked for the road as a
first preliminary step. Mr.. Hennessy,
commissioner from that district, ex-
planned that he thot that perhaps not
all the work asked for could be done
this year, but that he was willing to
do all that he could, of that which is
most necessary and that he was will
ing to put the matter up before the en-
tire board

Till year or SO ago,
When a man called President Wilson
Wrote me to 60 more slow.
He says to me, Dear William,
We don't want to make you sore,
So be sure to tell your U-boats
Not to sink our boats no more.
We have told you for the last time,
So. Dear Bill, it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it,
You have to fight us, too.
I did not listen to him,
And he's coming after me
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea.
Now, that's why called you, Satan,
For I want advice from you;
know that you would tell me
Just what ought to do.
Nv Dear Old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than I can for you in hell.
I've been a mean old devil,
But not half as mean as you,
And the minute that you get here
will give my job to you.
I'll be ready for your coming,
And I'll keep the fires all bright,
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
For the boys in khaki will get you,
have nothing more to tell;
Hang up your phone and get your hat
And meet me here in hell.

To help you, sure will.

A SOLDIER boy, writing from his
aviation barracks in Texas, states
that pay for men in his branch of the
service may be reduced soon. But, he
adds, this will make no difference
since everybody should be willing to
serve for board and clothes in cause
like ours. This is the spirit of the
boys who compose our army and navy.
They are not only laying their lives
upon the altar of humanity, but out of
their earnings are buying Liberty
bonds and paying the government to
insure their lives for the benefit Of
the folks back home. 1t should put
to shame and confusion those slackers
who dodge out of sight when Red
Cross or Y. NJ. c. A. committee comes
along or who refuse to loan bit of
their dirty money to the government
at good rate of interest when it
needs funds to finance the war. God
bless the boys.

Loan gives the first opportunity since
the German offensive began for the
average citizen to back up his beliefs
with his cash. The drive starts Sat

go over the top in hurry.
