German propaganda which we
shall be Obliged to face in the en-

Books for the Boys Save
Their Reason During
Dreary Convalescence

Read this extract from, letter re-
ceived by the American Library as
ISOLATION and then send the best
books you own to the public library,
to go to the boys in the hospitals:
There are two boys in wheeled
chairs, one with both legs gone. the
other but one, who sit most of the
day beside the books, which are so
arranged that they ca nsit and pull
them out without keeping others
away. One boy said to me the
other day: I never knew until now
what books could mean in a mans
life, | would have lost my mind if I
could not have had the use OF these
books"
Take the book you have enjoyed
to the public library and ask them
to send it to soldier in hospital
so he can enjoy it, too.
How would you like to be in 4
hospital with nothing to reads Give
books to library war seryice 50 our
wounded soldiers will have plenty
of reading matter.

HER HOW By ROY K. MOULTON

1t don't seem like morc'n a tonight
ago
l was butterin' bread for my little
boy Joe,
And patchin' his knickers and
washin his ears
And givin' him glory for ketchin' on
keers.
And sendin' him off, with spankin',
to bed,
And all the time lovin' each hair in
his head.
And then, it seemed like it was just
between spanks,
He came and said, Mother, I've
lined with the Yanks."
1t struck NE so sudden, | turned
turkey red,
And stammercd, Joe, you march
right straight off to bed"
But there was a strange sort OF look
in his eye
That set me to thinkin' how time
had gone by.
The heart of a mother just seems to
stand still,
And churn in one place like the
wheels of mill.
And | was just lovin Joe carly and
late,
| guess that's why I wasn't right up
to date.
/ looked upon Joe as kid could
tan,
And there he was, grown to tall,
strappin' man.
If Id only thought, I'd have known
he would go.
There wouldn't be no hangin' back
for my Joe.
Twas natural, him havin' plenty Of
I'd pounded it into the youngster by
hand.
And Joe was so tarnation anxious to
fight,
He started off, just buck private,
that night.
They say we are brave, when Our
boys go away.
And, maybe we are, for appearance,
but say,
Have you had so many real tears in
your heart
1t seemed just as though it was
Dustin apart? =.
You feel sort of palsied, just glued
in one place,
And stand with petrifed> smile
on your face.
| II seemed like the end Of the world
when my Joe
Went off, but wanted my young
ster to go.
If he hadn't gone the first chance
that he got,%S
