that Capital readers may be equally
gratified to read them:
Consider Mr.. Shadrach, OF fiery fur

He didn't stew and worry, and get his
nerves in kinks,
Nor fill his skin with lines and gin
and other cooling drinks"

furnace, too;

Nor did he say, Gee! What day!
Believe met it's some hot!"
Consider, too, Abed-nego, who shared
his comrades plight;
He didn't shake his coat and make
himself holy sight;
He didn't wear suspenders without a
coat and vest,
Nor did he scowl and snort and howl
and make himself pest.
Consider, friends, this trio-how lit
tie fuss they made;
They didn't curse when it was worse
than ninety in the shade;
They moved about serenely within the
furnace bright.
And soon forget that it was hot, with
no relief in sight"

NE|GHDORL|NESS
AND SYMPATHY
What The Home Service Work
ers Of The United States
Are Doing
SOCIAL PROBLEMS
CENTER ABOUT MORALE
Re-education Of The Disabled.
A Work Of Rehabilitation BY
The Red Cross

How a message of "neighborliness"
and social sympathy is being carried
into remote districts which never be-
fore took the trouble to organize their
social problems and make Roadway
against them by proper methods, was
told by Home Service workers from
every region of the United States at
the recent conference in Washington
of the American Red Cross Division
Directors of Civilian Relief. The men
and women who have been directing
this organizing work, Division Direc-
tors of Civilian Relief, met at the call
~of w. Frank Persons, Director Cen
eral, to perfect and extend the plans
which have already resulted in the
formation of over 5000 chapters which
already have been helping over 200,-
900 families of men in service.
Neither floor, nor lack of transporta-
tion facilities is lettering the workers
from pushing their organization into
every corner from which men have
been called into the army. After the
meeting had started in Washington,
Miss Gertrude Vale, Division Direc-
tor for the Mountain Division, with
headquarters at Denver, received a
telegram from one of her workers who
had hoped to report that the division
was 100 per cent organized, that every
chapter in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado
and New Mexico had Home Service
Section. The telegram, however, was
not a report of success and letter
following gave the reason why. The
worker, a woman, had been stopped at
the Snake River by serious flood and
had been unable to reach the last two
or three places in which Home Serv-
ice Sections remained to be establish
ed. But men were sending mail
across by rather dangerous means and
the worker assured her chief that she
was going over on the next mail boat
whether the men thought it safe
enough or not and would take the
horseback route into the mountains
on the other side.

PRIVATE SEWER LINES.
Expense Can be Avoided by Making
Connections with Laterals While
bitches are Open.

City Marshal Henry Horton yester-
day suggested that The Daily Citizen
call the attention Of its readers to the
chance at this time for the property
owners to make q considerable saving
in cost by having a drain pipe run
from the sewer lateral to their prop
erty line while the city has the ditch
open alongside their premises.
BY arranging with the plumber to
do this work while the ditch is open 1t
will preclude the need Of opening the
main ditch again, and in many cases
that would be quite expensive, espec-
tally where the lateral is several feet
below the surface.
In some cities the riser is put in and
pipe run to the property line by the
city; but that is not the case in Bax-
ter.
As soon as the laterals are in and
the sewer system ready for service all
property owners will be compelled by
law to connect with it; so it will be
to the advantage of all to heed this
suggestion of Mr.. Horton now.

LEW PETTIJOHN
STATES THE CASE.

Ola iO \ IlL SfhOEs
Every loyal man and woman in
Kansas will applaud this sentiment
expressed by L. ]. Pettijohn, Of
Dodge City: "The Kansan safe at
home who is not willing to stand
back of the men who are under
arms, with his money and influ-
ence, is not worthy Of citizenship.
He should be marooned on a de-
sert island where government is
unknown" If that were all that
could be said for Lew Pettijohn, it
would be an ample platform upon
which to make the race for the Re-
publican nomination for secretary
Of state. He is otherwise equipped
and qualified, and is one of the best
known and most useful citizens Of
western Kansas.
s'There are more important mat
ters confronting Kansas people
now than politics." Mr.. PettijOhn
said to his friends in Topeka yes
terday. "The war is taxing the
energies not alone Of our soldiers
IN the field, but Of every citizen at
home. We must be equal to the
emergencies that arise. Those Of
uB at home must do our part in the
Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. work.
We must safeguard the soldiers
n camp and in the trenches with
every comfort. Out at Dodge City
We are all doing our best along
these lines"
War comes home to Mr.. and Mrs.
Pettijohn very closely, for their
boy 8 now in France. Like all 9TH
sr Kansas parents whose boys are
Ihere or in the camps, they cannot
eIp but think Of other Christmas
INES when he was at hOme.-TO-

nized in this part of the state
where the people have learned to
depend on his loyalty and his fac
ulty for getting things done. Be-
cause of their confidence in his
character, his ability and his broad
sympathies, these same people will
take a great deal of pleasure this
year in supporting and recommend
ing in a whole-hearted way his
candidacy for secretary Of state
Dodge City Globe.
With this issue of The Advocate
we wish to call the attention of its
readers to the candidacy of L. ].
Pettijohn, of Dodge City, for the
office of secretary of state, on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Jettijohn,
during his long residence in west
ern Kansas, has always been loyal
to the interests of this part of the
state. Every one of the 10000
homesteaders who settled on land
in this territory during the time
that Mr.. PettijOhn was receiver Of
the U. s. land office, received
courteous, prompt and fair treat
ment at his hands whenever their
business called them to the land Of
flee. Originally a claimholder him
self, he knew Of the many difficult !.
ties which the homesteader has to
meet, was fully informed as to the
rights of the settler and was an of
ficer whose rulings were always re-
spected by the land department.
Western Kansas once more has an
opportunity to be represented at
the state capitol, and the Republi-
cans of this part Of the state will
practically all support Mr.. Petit
john, their former servant, ut the
primaries in August. If he is elect
ed to the Office, he will be "Lew"
to us the same as he has been for
the past twenty-five years.

We're ready for real business
And that's no merry jest.
We've had plenty of guard duty,
Worked on the picket line
We've washed our clothes in "Govern-
ment Liz"
Then the sun refused to shine.
We've loaded and unloaded wagons
day and night
We've let our whiskers grow for days
until we look q sight.
We've stood at attention
For hours at time
We've gone to town with thirty cents
I'll swear it has been crime.
They put us on the Rifle Range
We've made bulls eyes by scores
We've done our bit in the Galley
And learned the art of peeling
We've eaten our "chow" in every way
In fact including kneeling. -.
We've washed our mess-gears in cold
water
Without the use Of soap
We've answered here to every call
At times we've been the goat
We've heard the cook say
"There amt no more"
And left all the "gobs" all bowling.
There is no use of growing
We've seen the boys pull of the stunt
Called dipping in the dome"
We've seen them free
And on their way back home sweet
home.
We've been shot in the arm and back
About fifty times l guess
We've been painted up with iodine
Until we looked q mess
We fall in for every call
go to school.
We've heard the bugle blow at night
Get out and fight the fire
We've hard the top whistle blow
When there was no desire
We've eaten "slum" and It's gravy
'ince the President called US out
We've worn uniforms
hat wouldn't fit a scout

We've only waited for the chance
