POEM.

Our bright October days have begun,
School has started with q hum.
Leaves are falling. brides calling.
Chestnut burs are opening so fast
October is here at last.
Our bright October days are here,
Winter is coming, and so near
Jack frost is biting toe, and the wind
doth blow;
Farmers have begun their task,
Still October has come at last.
Our bright October days are nearly
gone,
And winter will soon be coming along,
Fires are bright, until the night:
The waters will be freezing fast
October is here at last.

WHAT THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
HA SD0NE FOR THE FRENCH
AND BELGIANS.

once when two Observation-Disclosures
were over at our school. They were
falling to US about how much THE
American Red Cross has done for
refugees in Europe. They said tina t
they were ragged and had no clothes
and hundreds without fathers or
m others or homes.
And when the Americans heard about
u heroic women quickly. volunteered
TO go over there" and help.
The cruel Huns were taking their
homes from them and killing part of
them.
America soon called for volunteers
and declared war on the Huns. The
American Red Cross went to the
refugees aid and got them clothes and
put part Of them In good homes.
Now don't you think we could at
Least buy some Liberty bonds and w.

PATRIOTISM.

Buy thrift and war savings stamps,
And bond IL you can afford
But do not be miser,
And all your money hoard.
Bravely our boys are fighting
In France, across the deep blue sea,
Helping other countries win
Their priceless liberty.
The least that you can do, friend,
Is purchase bonds and thrift stamps
too,
For money that you thus expend
Is given back to you.
