CONTRIBUTED VERSE
THE MAN WHO WOULDN'T GIVE.

The war is now over,
There's nothing to do
But sit down and wait
Till your wishes come true.
This is the belief of
The stingy old cuss
Who hung out his flag
And made a big fuss.
He bought Thrift Stamp
Because it paid back
But the spirit OF giving
He. surely did lack.
Heswas az: patrTotfc -a ~ :,
AS any could be
But looked for the blessings
To come to him free.
He tied a tin can
Behind his machine
And drove down the street
Where he could be seen.
He points with much pride
To the victories won
But more OF his folks
Ever shouldered a gun.
He helped all he could
He'd have you to know,
He sacrificed greatly
Because he said so.
He did with less sugar,
He ate some corn bread,

But made a big fuss
Over how he was fed.

But made a big fuss
Over how he was fed
To the boys in the trenches
He'll tell OF his deeds
How he sent them his money
To meet all their needs.
This measly old cuss,
This heartless old miser
Should be doomed to live
In land with the kaiser.
Now of this low class
There sure are not many
But in the U. S.
There shouldn't be any.
Thank God there's a record
On him to be kept,
To. show that while Citing
Z He comforta bly,, slept. !.
If we get to heaven
Let's all look to see
If this stingy old cuss
Is where he should be.

ARMY SERVICE
SPECIAL COURSE
Students Army Training Corps VIII
Appeal to Many Young Men
as the Best Way to Enter
the Service In Uniform.

The various colleges designated by
the war department as qualified to
give military courses are getting
actively to work to attract students
and issuing special announcements of
the courses offered. Those near here
are Knox college at Galesburg Iowa,
and Illinois universities and Ames.
Students entering and taking these
courses will fill the need of the army
for trained engineers, doctors, chem
The plan Is to mobilize the brain
power Of the country for special SER
vices in the army, in the students
army training corps.
Such students are considered en-
listed in the military service of the
country, without pay, and is classed
as inactive until called out. Each
summer he attends camp for six
weeks on private's pay. On his ques-
tionnaire he is put in class V-D and
the draft board will not call him for
service. But when his order number
Is reached, the college president and
commanding officer report to the war
department for what special service
he is best fitted and recommend
either that he continue his studies or
that he be sent to an officers train
ing camp, or that he be assigned to
work at once in some staff corps. The
courses lead toward an officers COM
mission, but do not hold out any
promise of a commission from the
war department Enlistment IS for
the duration of the war, and regular
uniforms are furnished. Young men
contemplating taking these courses in
the colleges should enlist in them be-
fore the new draft law changing the
ages of draft becomes effective, as
later 1t may be difficult to be accepted
in the students corps.
