THE MELTING POT
~Come Take Pot Luck With Us"
ANOTHER REASON.
BY James j. Montague.

by James D. Montague
When all the guns have ceased their noise
And silenced is the battles fury,
When all the Hohenzollern boys
Are working somewhere in a brewery,
When Hindenburg is signed up for
German movie show attraction,
You'll know your bond helped win the war,
And that will be some satisfaction
You'll know the money that you saved,
The product Of your daily labor
While still the German kaiser raved
About the shining German sabre
Helped send more troops across the sea,
With drumming guns and banners streaming,
To set harried people free.
And wake the kaiser from his dreaming.
You may not have the youth to fight
Once gone you never it,
But If you buy bond tonight
Your dollars will go forth and do IL.
And when the kaiser goes share
niche in history with Nero
You'll know your bond went over there
And did its duty like hero.

PATRONS ARE HELPING
BOYS TO WIN PRIZES

There can be no better evidence
OF the good will Of the Journal sub
scribers towards their carrier boys
than the way they are paying up
their subscriptions now that the
carriers are working for prizes,
There is no reason why these
small bills should get back and the
boys are instructed not to leave the
paper where II is more than two
weeks in arrears. For this reason
they are trying TO get all Of their

The War Industries Board has is.

this order TO the letter.
