Boys Working Reserve.

AUGUSTA, April 10Th. Among numer-
Gus applications which have been receiv-
ed at the Maine headquarters for enlist
ment in the United States Boys Work
ing Reserve is one which comes from a
bow who has only one arm. The young
ster lost his right arm in an accident but
saws that he can do as much work as
lot of boys who have the two arms with
which nature provided them. The boy
with one arm is patriot. He wants to
do his share of the work of winning the
war If provision can be made for him,
he will be given the chance.
Another interesting development in the
work of enlisting the army of the Boys
Reserve is found in the demand which is
given an opportunity to help on the
farms. A group of Colby College girls
have sent to the State headquarters a
letter in which they make known their
desire to find a position for the coming
summer on poultry, dairy or truck gar
dening farms. The principal of Maine
High school writes: II have number of
girls in this High school who are anxious
to 60 out on the farms for the school va
cation. What can be done to get them
places?"
Jefferson C. Smith, the Federal Direc-
tor for Maine, will see what can be done
to utilize the services of the Maine girls
who want to help in the raising of war
time crops.
In England, great many women and
have given aid of inestimable value The
Maine Division of the Boys Working Re-
serve has committee at work studying
the methods that have been adopted in
England in using the boys and girls in
agricultural pursuits. The report of the
committee is expected to be of much as
sistance in the conduct of the work in
this State.
Boys who served in the Junior Volun-
teers last year are eager to Join the forces
of the Reserve this year and some of
them are writing to see if they cannot be
placed on the farms during the planting
season. They want to get to work early
enough to help plant the crops which
later they will cultivate and harvest.
Some of the early applications have come
from boys who describe themselves as
chums and say they do not want to be
separated. So far as is possible, the
State headquarters will meet the wishes
of such boys. All boys who want to en-
list are urged to make application early.
Principals of High schools and academies
are serving as recruiting agents. Boys
who are SO situated that they cannot Sc
cure the necessary information and the
enrolment blanks from recruiting agents
should write to the headquarters of the
Maine Division in the State House at
Augusta.

The following is the "Hasty Pudding
Song" which our grandmothers used to
sing to their children. 1t gives US a
glimpse of the energy, simplicity and
spirit of the pioneer days:
The sun has set, the school is done,
The boys and girls have all come home,
And now they want their supper quick.
Go, Bet, and get the pudding stick.
And now the COWS are coming home,
Go, Bridget, get the pail and run,
And milk as fast as e'er you can,
And strain it in the largest pan.
Go get the bowls, and dip it up,
And drop the pudding all about.
And now, dear children, come and eat,
Your pudding's hot, your milk is sweet,
And then, at last, retire up stairs,
With fervent hearts and say your prayers,
Undress and 60 to bed and sleep,
Till morning light begins to peep.
