JAY makes people angry by teasing.
And doesn't 1t seem too bad that such a pretty
bird as Johnny JAY should cause so much trou-
BILE. Why, he has a coat as blue as the sky in
summer, when Mr. Happy Sun is shining at his
best Indeed. a very stylish fellow.
'Hp, hip, hurray.
I'm Johnny Jay,
And I'm proud of my coat of blue,
Go on your way,
I'm Johnny Jay
I've no time to talk to you"
You're too fond of yourself, johnny Jay.
said little Billy Bunny: and he wfggled his pink
top rail. You see Billy Bunny had the habit
of wiggIing his nose so fast that it made every
body dizzy to look at it.
Mother says it's not the kind
Of clothes you wear that makes you
good;
IT'S having contented mind
And doing what you should"
And then the little rabbit hoped away, leay-
ing Johnny Jay to think over what Mrs. Bunny,
did that miscflievous little jay Bird some good
for he didn't look ait himself in the Babbling
Brook Eut perhaps the reason he didn't was
because It was all frozen over with thick coat
OF ice.
Well, after Billy Bunny had hoped along for
maybe mile or maybe less he came TO a little
hole in the snow, and, all OF sudden, out pop-
ped the head of Diclxey Meadow mouse You
see, Dickey. Meadow mouse makes little tunnels
and every once in a while here and there he
climbs UP stiff stalk Of grass, pokes his head
and glad to see the little rabbit Well, just
guess he was. But If he had seen Daddy Fox
instead it wouldn't have been so pleasant No.

Williston Herald :

Williston Herald:
Many towns in the state are agitating for
a soldier monument, both for their own
boys" and for those of the entire state
Many plans suggested, many ideas set
forth. In Williston little has been said of a
monument for the men who have entered the
service OF their country. 1t has been sug-
gested, however, that something be done to
honor them and keep them from being totally
forgotten when war shall have been thing
Of the past.
II Williston is to erect a monument let it
be a war monument-not soldier monument
alone. Let it do honor to the soldiers, to the
towns activities in war work and to those
who kept the wheels turning here at home.
Let the memorial, if memorial there is to
be include all of these or none Let's not do
honor to a man that may not deserve it,
much as we desire to remember those who
do. And, above all, if We desire to do
honor. let's not leave out those whom we
know have done their very utmost for their
government in the war.

Griggs County Sentinel Courier

Griggs County Sentinel Courier:
In another column we are publishing an
article dealing with the organized effort
which is being made by tnscrupulous fakirs
to obtain by means of fraudulent stock SELL
ing schemes the Liberty Bonds of farmers
and others in the Ninth District.
Liberty Bonds are the best investment in
the world, and unless it is absolutely neces-
sary on account of financial stringency, to
dispose Of them. they should be held until
maturity.
Which do you prefer--to hold your bonds
and get the full 800 for each one together
with interest--or to dispose Of them at a dis
count for some worthless stock, thereby per-
mitting the sharper who fleeced you to get
the fun 500 which you eventually will have
to pay? Ever stop to think of it in just
this way? 81
Fake stock pirates are campaigning and
will continue to campaign for Liberty Bonds.
Don't let them get rich quick at your eX-
pense. Better be safe than sorry
