Poor feeble men, how sad we feel,
To think you're so abused.
Our hearts go out in sympathy
When you're so badly used.
To think your fair, fond name
We've tried to drag in the dust
To think your reputation we
Have so badly mussed.
And just to think if you did see
Some maid you'd love to kiss,
When in your arms you'd mold her close
She'd hit you with her fist.
And just to think she'd have the nerve
To take it further still,
And tell the judge and all the court
1t was against her will.
To think maid would e'er refuse
Your hearts, so full of love
Is from your minds so pure as far
AS Heaven is above.
VI
All! no, dear hearts, the law is yours;
Just WELD it to your will.
Make us blackmailing women
Forever more keep still.

Upon the stand you see.
Let your we'll paid lawyer say
She's blackmaling thee"

DAVIS WRITES OF LIFE
AT NORFOLK. VA.

Dear folks
was at liberty last night, so sent
you one Of my pictures. ! expect you
will get it before you get this letter.
Don't know how long it will be before
l can go on liberty again, because our
whole station is under quarantine on
account of few cases of spinal men,
ingitis. in Norfolk, so no one can go
into Norfolk for twenty-one days.
This old world is not as big as it
looks, for l am all the time. meeting
someone that have known before.
Last night went to town with fel-
low by the name of Pease. I met him
in 1915 in San Diego, Calf, and we
ran into fellow named Davis, We
were both acquainted with in Los An
geles, who is in the navy now, and had
just came up from South America, so
we had an interesting talk. This fell
low, Pease, gave me a Brazilian bug,
which when it dies becomes petrified
and is very pretty am having it
made into q stick pin and will send it
home.
have duty tonight in the machinist
watch. stay in quarters subject to
call if anything goes wrong on the
steam lines on the station.
am on duty every day from S:15
in the morning until 4:30 in the OTTER
noon except on Saturdays and Sundays
when | am on only in the morning.
| am still thinking of trying to
change to the aviation service. 1t
would be land duty, and l would prob
ably get to go to France in July.
would work in shops and in the repair
department. My rating would be the
same as here. But l can stay in this
station for Is months so far as l now
know.
The government is building a big
army depot next to the naval base
1t will be the largest army camp in the
L. S. There will certainly be busy
place around here from now on.
We are having awfully rainy wealth
er. 1t has been raining for a week.
Well mamma, it is just seven months
today since enlisted. The time has
gone fast, it doesn't seem any time at
all since landed in Norfolk.
1t is foggy out on the bay, and can
hear the whistles on the Nhips and the
fog-horns blowing all the time. How
funny it seems when l think of it, for
this tine last year I had no thought
of being here in the navy.
Your son,
MARSHALL DAVIS.

ROAD PROJECT TO
IHINk ABOi I

While it, too early yet. TO talk road
worry much, one cannot but bc en-
cou aged over the outlook for GUnni-
son county next year There will GER
taInly be good start made on Mon
arch pass. The hundred thousand
dollar GuuniEon project from Somer-
set 10 Marble is not yet certain, but
chances are in favor Of it being start
cd, and enough Of 1t completed to open
up the grain and stock country on the
Muddy and Pilot Knob sections. These
are two of the big projects under way,
the majority of our county funds being
used for up-kccp and rebuilding along
the line of present very excellent
roads
We note that the Pitkin Miner asks
for road over Williams pass. 1t is
perfectly feasible, and News Cham
pion editor has often talked with Pit
kin people about it. In fact, we have
in this office some remarkably interes-
ting figures showing the saving on Il
trip to Denver by way of this thru line.
II is the next big road project, since
combined with road from Lake City
to Silverton. it would open a short
route directly across the state of Col
orado from southwest to northeast
just as the Crested Butte Marble road
opens diagonal thoroughfare from
northwest Colorado pointing straight
to Texas. Get large map of Colora-
do and note these two diagonals, both
passing through Gunnison.
Whenever the time is ripe to start
the agitation we are for it. We ought
to be thinking about it anyway, and
perhaps when the next division of
government and state road money is
made, conditions will be favorable.

We haven't got to go to the front

will cost many of US our lives. Some
Of us must work back of the lines and
it might as well be us as the others.
We have q good Y. N. c. A. here,
