THE THIRTY AND ONE
BY Jesse F. Gelders

We saw a service flag unfurled
Above business door.
And in the breeze, it tapped and
whirled,
With thirty stars or more.
OF thirty stalwart boys and men,
That constellation told,
Who'd left their work of ink and
pen,
The Allied line to hold.
The banner snapped and whipped the
1t seemed to speak aloud.
OF thirty youths who'd gone from
there,
That business house was proud.
Another flag, we sighted then;
Before home it hung.
But not of thirty stalwart men,
Was its small message sung.
For on its field of snowy white
There was star-just one.
One boy had gone to march and
fight,
And hold the naughty Hun.
We knew a mother wept in pride,
Because her life, her joy,
Was pictured on that flag outside;
The star was for her boy.
And then we knew that single star
Which twinkled there alone
Meant more to her, meant more by
far,
Than all those thirty shown
Upon the service flag which flew
Above the business door.
While theirs could be supplied anew
Her boy had gone to war!

portant meeting last evening, at

were attended to.

the finances of the Chamber shows

gia Singing Convention which con-
venes here June 14-15 was reported
growing in importance and the con-
templated tour for settlers into North

activities. A committee to secure a
location for the aviation landing field,
was appointed and the several loca-
tons are to be passed on and sub
mitted to the proper authorities, with
a good chance of soon seeing some
actual flyers arriving in the city.
The 4th of July this year will have
the full support of the Chamber OF
Commerce and an effort will be made
to make this the greatest celebration
of its kind ever pulled oc here. w. A.
Adams was made chairman of the
committee, with power to appoint his
own assistants and authorized to ar
range .r the biggest kind of event.
