NEGRO BOY CAME FROM
WHERE HE WAS BORN

There is a negro boy in the county
Jail receiving proper care and treat
ment until he is able to get out and
do for himself. The lads feet had
been frozen and one evening last
week he was picked up in Ordway
by Marshal Pleima1 and given lodg-
ing and supper and breakfast. and
then turned over to the county. The
morning after his arrival in town his
feet were so badly swollen that he
could not put on the ragged shoes
which he possessed and was unable
to do much of anything else except
to feed himself when the meal was
brought to him.
That day Sheriff Worker made a
complete disposal of the dirty be-
Ionging3 which the boy had and
logged him out with new underwear
and overalls and shirt. AS for his
feet shoes were useless, for the poor
sufferer cannot put them on. so has
his feet bandaged to neal.
When asked his name his reply
was: Charley" Evidently just
Charley, for he does not know that
he has any other name. AS to the
place from whence he came that was
Georgia, and the question asked him
What part of Georgia." the boys
answer was Down where was
born"

Sauerkraut was made for the Ger

And spaghetti was made for the

Fish were made to drink water.

Banks were made for money,
And money was made for the Jews
Everything was made for something,
Most everything but a miser;

But who in h made the kaiser?

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop In France was
less than half normal, using the crop
of 1913 as basis of comparison.
There was shortage of 176,00O,oOO
bushels, or 53.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third of nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed
deficit of 6T.9 per cent. Her meat
herds in the early fall showed short
age of 1.SOO.0OO animals.
Those are few of the reasons
America must feed her associates In
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat in the war.

OUR FLAG.

The Stars and Bars. long may they
wave.
AS in the days Of our fathers, freedom
to save,
Long may their ample folds
Spread DER land and sea
And with the liberty IT holds,
Proclaim our sovereignty.
We sacrifice our homes for it,
a free nation to be,
And always stand by it
Flag of the brave and free.
\ nation brave and q nation true,
This flag II does represent,
With the Red, White and Blue,
We stand by our President.
And one thing about the nag.
1t certainly does the Kaiser scare
And he'll soon from the throne be
dragged
When we go "over there"
When he sees 1t come in sight,
1t makes him SO afraid
or anything insulting that he might
Have thought or said.
All the nations OF the earth,
He wants to his throne to cram
But he'll never enjoy his only mirth
AS long as there's an Uncle Sam!
