NAIL THE FLAG TO THE PLow

Nail the flag TO the pillow.
The Country needs grain.
While our sailor boys guard the
tracks to the Maine.
God gave us the field, the sun and the
light,
Then double your yield,
while the sailor boys fight.
Nail the flag to the pillow,
The soldier must eat,
While defending the trenches or SUI
fer defeat;
You can help the brave boys in their
time OF need
BY increasing your acres and sowing
more seed.
Nail the flag to the plow
Your children and wife
Must be saved from starvation while
the world is in strife;
Your mission is plain, your duty is
grand,
Each man is hero who. is filling
the land
You say you are too old to fight with
a gun,
Then work in the fields until the set
ting of sun,
And show to the world by the sweat
on your brow,
That you are serving your country
With flag on your pillow
Theodore F Combs.
