FARMERS CAN HELP RAILROADS

There are many ways of aiding the
government in this war that are
overlooked by those in a position to
do great good. Farmers living along
the lines of railroads can be of great
help to the Administration in its Ell
forts to serve the public well by see
ing TO it that crossing gates are kept
closed and by reporting to the sta
tion agent or section foreman any de-
fects that they might find in the
fence enclosing the right-of-way.
Gates are often left open by care
less hired help or children. Fences
might be broken and stock get upon
the risht-of-way and sometimes be
struck by locomotives. Stock is
killed in this manner and possibly
the property Of the Railroad Admin
istration greatly damaged, and some
times even human lives are sacri-
feed all of which might have been
avoided if the farmers took a little
closer interest in the affairs of the
government having to do with the
administration of the railroad prop
erty. Let us act together in this
matter and great good may be ac-
complished.

Oh, may that.brute, the Kaiser, float
On open sea in open boat,
In Article seas without a coat
Glory Halleluiah!
Without a compass, sail or oar,
A million miles away from shore
Where mighty waves like mountains
roar
Glory Halleluiahl
May sharks devour him stem and stern
A whale engulf him down in turn,
And the Devil get the whole concern,
Glory Halleluiah!
oh, may this cursed Kaiser dwell
In the darkest pits of deepest hell,
And gnash his teeth and groan and
yell
Glory Halleluiahl
And mid his roars and frantic cries,
Oh, may eternal ashes rise,
And blow forever in his eyes
Glory Hallelujahl
In burning birthstone may he be,
While little devils dance in glee,
And lock the door and lose the key
