A CORRECTION

Dear Editor, and to the Goo | Pee

few words further in rega d to the
War Savings Stamps drive.
In the first place will say that
the statement made in the article

fore the pledge cards were all turn

Our people seem determined to
come up with tHlS as some OF them
are raising and doubling their

fore one Cherokee Indian (Geevi

KAISER BILL ON
TOP OF THE HILL

Once there was a man.
His name was Kaiser Bill,
He and his soldiers cruel
Lived on top of a hill.
One day he got silly
And acted the fool;
He told his soldiers
The world he would rule.
So the first thing he done
Was to build a submarine.
But France watched them
Very keen.
Many were the ships sunk,
Great was the loss;
Kaiser Bill on top of the hill
Thought lie was the boss.
The Allies didn't care what he
thought:
They were thinking how they
Could have him caught.
Then the sea wolves began
To sink Uncle Sans ships
When they were only on pleasure
trips.
Then Uncle Sam got fighting mad;
lie said, Say, Bill, stop that,
Or you will wish you had"
Then Uncle Sam called for volun-
teers;
Many a boy went. banishing fears.
Saying in their hearts they would
Stay the Kaiser,
Or catch him, the wicked old
miser.
But Kaiser never thought of this
Until he saw the Sammy
Who would not miss.
Then the boys sailed for France
Three thousand miles away.
To lend a helping hand
In the terrible fray.
Through the blood they fought their
way,
Wondering what the Kaiser would
say.
They aimed their guns with care,
Every bullet went straight to the
mark just to hair.
Ali around them steel was falling,
But they fought bravely on with
cut halting.
Goodbye Kaiser Bill,
Goodbye if you will,
Goodbye old Bill on top of the
hill.
