Stick to Your Trench

Stick to Your Trench
Remember, yOu've got to stick to your trench
Yes, stick like glue to your french.
You dig sOhae it's dark and you cork sOhae it's light,
And then there's the ''HStenlng b0St' at nfght.
Though you're soaked to the skin and chilled the bone;
Though your hands like ice and your feet like stone;
Though your watch is long, and your rest is brief,
1And you pray like hell for the nest relief;
Though the eoiud may hoOl and the rain may d,snch,
Remember yOU'Ve got to stick to your trench
Yes, stick like mud to your trench.
Perhaps a bu1et may find its mark,
And then there's funeral after dark;
And you say, as you lay him beneath the sod,
Il sbortsman's soul has gone to his God.
Behind the trench, in the open ground,
There's a little cross and a Httle mound;
And If at your heart-strings you feel srench,
Remember he died for his blooming trench l.
Yes, he died like a man for his trench.
There's rush and dash, and they're at your sUs,
And you open the hell of a rapid fire;
The Maxims ratte, the rifles fash,
And the bombs explode sUth a nckening crash.
You give them lead, and you give them steel,
It'll at last they sVaver, and turw and reel
You've done your job-there yas never hench
Yonve gfUen them HELL and you ve saved your trench;
BY GOD YOU'VE STUCK TO YOUR TRENCH!

SOME THINGS THE DEPART MENT OF AGRICULTURE IS DOING

A scheme to utilize part of the sorghum crop for making a sugar substitute for human food is being carried out in Douglas County Nebr., In one communi- ty through the effortsof the loc- al county agent, six farmers CO operated in purchasing a small sorghum mill, and secured the services of an experienced sor- ghum syrup maker. Although the syrup made at this mill IS being sold for 5 1.25 to$ 1.5O a gallon, present indications are that the demand cannot be met. Five sorghum mills are now III operation in the county. Re gently a meeting of interested men in Red Willow Co. was called with the help of the local county agent to organize a stock company to handle the sorghum cane grown in that district.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOY
 EES TO ORGANIZE UNION

Representatives of the U. $. Forest Service, U. s. 1mmigra- ton Service, U. s. Indian Serv- ice, Bureau of animal industry, and U. s. Indian Immigration Service, have started to organ ize a local chapter of the Ma tional Federation of Federal Employees. The objects of the Federation, which is nation wide in it's scope and already contains many thousands of members, is to advance the so- Fcial and economic welfare and education of the employees of the United States, and to aid in 1 the perfection of systems that will make for greater efficiency Fin the various services of the United States. It was pointed out by R. E. Peabody, national organizer of the federation, that the U. s. Civil Service num- bering more than 5OO,OO0 em- ployees, is the only body of skilled workers of this size in any civilized country that is un- organized. Government off, cials and employees" said MT. Peabody, "are, contrary to pub lie opinion, very badly under paid as compared with other workers performing the same duties in the business world. The aim of the Federation is not
 only to correct this economic in justice, but through organiza- tion and cooperation to promote the efficiency and public use fitness of the entire Civil Serv- ice.
 The Federation is said to
 have the approbation of practi-
 cally all high government offic
 ials and many members of Con
 gress who recognize that under
 the existing machinery of gov,
 ernment, no means have beer
 provided for the adequate pro
 tection and welfare of govern
 ment employees. The fedora
 tio, though affiliated with ths
 American Federation of labor
 is disbarred by it's constitution
 from engaging in or supporting
 strikes against the U. s. Gov ernment. Authority for Govern ment employees to organize which was denied in executiv, Forders of President Roosevel and President Taft, was specifi
 cally granted by an Act of Con greSS in 1912.

MAN KILLED BY
 HIS OWN LASSO

John Jones Bishop, son of a prominent cattleman living 30 miles north of Seligman, was accidentally killed last Friday, by his own lasso. He was alone at the time of meeting his death but from evidence presented to the coroner's jury, it is believed that in attempting to brand a calf, he became entangled iii his own lasso in such a manner that his neck was broken by the rope. His horse was found g short distance from where his body lay. with the lasso tied to the saddle horn and the moose still fast to one of the hind legs of a calf.
 The body was bruised by the rope in number of places, and his neck had been burnes by the same means. and the neck being broken it was thought that the rope had been the cause of this injury also. The opinion of the jury was that MT Bishop had lassoed the calf and then had proceeded to ap- proach it along the rope. The calf had probably circuledi and theman had been entangled in such manner that he was un- able to free himself, and in the struggle his neck was broken.
 The body was found on Sat urday and brought in to Selig, man. Undertaken Button was called from Williams to prepare the doby for burial.

WANT WELL WATER FOR WILLIAMS

There has been considerable talk among the citizens of Viii Hams, of late, regarding the feasibility of providing the city with we'll water. There is an abundanc of we'll water avail able for all but fire purposes from the wells which the Town now, at considerable expense. keeps supplied with pumps for the free use of the public. It has been suggested that a small storage tank might b erected on the side of the hill south of town, just far enough up to give the water sufficient force for domestic use. Electric pumps might then be installed to sup ply the reservoir, and the water from the reservoir could be fed directly into the town mains. the water in the present reser- voir being cut off and held in reserve for fire purposes.
 At present the town fight be
 conspiring against itself in the
 matter of the sale of water. The
 city owns the municipal water system and offers this cmmodity
 for sale. and at the same time goes to the expense of providing
 pumps to supply water free of charge. Naturally many peo-
 pie prefer to use the free water
 rather than be charged for wa
 ter from the city mains. Ia has
 been suggested that the people
 who use the pumps, should at
 least pay for the repairs on the
 pumps.
 On the other hand it is true that the great bulk of those who : take water from the town
 pumps could not we'll afford to pay for water service. To de . prive them of the free pumps would work a hardship.
 One way to meet the last ob- , jection would be to continue to . supply the pumps and at the | same time to supply those nay :. ing for water. with water fror the town wells. The expense I in this case might prove toe great in this case, however. It goes without saying, tha' , Williams must have better , quality of water for summer ] use. In case the plan of supply f above, were used, it would not f be necessary to supply this wa ! ter during the cold month oi :, the year, as the water from the
 reservoir now in use is nas-fectly ] satisfactory in cold weather. 4 :, good deal of expense might b. saved by lettig gravity do ,ths . work in winter, as at, present. Il Another possible solution ol I the city's problem is offered 1T
 a new process of treatment tha1
 the federal government is re ; commenting to cities that ars
 forced to take. their water sup .s.t ply from reservoirs such as that : Fllsed by the town of Williams If this method of treatnmet
 should sproves as successful as :. it's advocates claim it will, the ! towns problem would be solved at the least possible expense. This problem of securing bet tr water for use in summer is
 now before the Town Council
 and the decision must rest with fthem. Whatever decision,they : make will be arrived at after most careful consideration.

SURPRISE FOR MRS. NEIL

Surpr1SeS never come Slng- ly", some people say; and we have also heard that ito retail fate is bad," but when Mist Frances Barbour slipped quiet ly away to Phoenix and came back Mrs. J. H. Mehl, she sur- prised her fellow teachers toe much to escape retaliation. Last Satuday evening they 'got even."
 The bride and groom had been invited to the home of Misses Grace Bull and Cornelis. Dockstader, ostensibly for g. quiet evening and dinner for four. They arrived shortly be- fore six o'clock and the bride was ushered into an unlighted dressing room to remove her wraps. When the light was switched on she found herself facing the entire number of lady teachers of the William public school, and being greet ed with shrieks of laughter They immediately escorted her to the library where she learn ed that her husband, having been pre-informed, had left her to the mercy of the mob. ,
 Quite overcome, she allowed herself to be led to the dining g room where a splendid six course dinner was served.
 The table was decorated with red and white carnations as favors for the guests. The brides table was decorated with a beautiful floral, center piece and candles. No name! appeared on the place card! They were cleverly written il verse and were quickly recog nized by the individuals fo, whom they were intended.

These (on , from each guest) were origina and very unique displaying tai ent that had hitherto been un suspected. As the last cours the climax came.

Discovery Saves Livestock

Losses of hundreds of sheep and cattle by stock raisers in San Juan County, N. Mexico were explained when the coun- ty agent discovered the whlrl- ed milk weed and it's poisonous properties. The agent pointed out the plant to farmers and Stockmen.
 Several meetings were held to plan how to meet the danger, and committees were appointed to inspect every part of La Pla- ta district which includes 2O,- GOO acres. By helping stock men to locate and avoid the weed, the agent hopes that ser ious loss will be avoided.
