Did you ever make list of the unneces-

For example, you may have trunk or
travelling bag which you no longer need Yet
some one else may be planning a trip and be
in need of and willing to buy these very ar
tcles.
On the other hand, you may be in need of
an extra piece of furniture or some article
which your neighbor has for sale.

The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1918-06-20

The following letter has been re
ceived by the &c. attorney in regard
to suits against the railroads, now
that they are under government con-
troll:
May %, 1918.
To All Railroads and Terminal Com
panies Under Government Controls;
The federal control act contem-
plates that suits for personal injuries
may be brought as heretofore, but pro-
vides that executions may not be
levied on the property of the carrier
while in the possession of the govern
ment. This means that while judg-
ment may be recovered, it devolves
upon the director general to provide
for payment and this places upon
him the responsibility of considering
the merits of the claims and the per-
sons to whom payment is made. It
is the desire of the director general
that justice shall be done to all en-
ployees who are injured in the dis
charge of their duties. This does not
mean that verdicts based upon pre-
JUDGE or passion shall be paid or that
large sums shall be paid by the gov
eminent to attorneys and solicitors
who have no claim upon the govern
ment. The right is reserved to. con-
slider the merits in determining what
provision shall be made.
It will be the policy of the govern
ment to discourage litigation, and
to deal directly with injured persons
to the end that the injured person
may receive the benefits of any
amount which the government pays,
without the expense of litigation, and
without being compelled to turn over
one-third to one-half to an attorney.
You may therefore let it be known
that such claims will be considered
on their merits.
As to fee contracts: You are au-
thorized to exercise a wise discretion
and are not required to make payment
as provided therein, but only on
such terms as will enable the injured
person to receive just treatment. If
the contract is unjust, you may pay
the attorney such reasonable sum as
will pay him for the services actually
rendered.

THE GIRL / LEFT BEHIND ME-

Darling, when / am far away
From you, somewhere in France,
/ ask you to always think Of me
And pray that ] have a chance.
To leave you, dear, was hard
The hardest thing of all.
But | am no Stacker
When hear my country's call.
To be at home with you, little girl,
Is happiness that is true;
But / cannot see the enemy
Down the Red, White and Blue.
used to be with you often
Those beautiful, happy days
But it makes me blue to think
That we are so far away.
Some day in the near future
This great conflict will end.
And the soldier boy who loves you
Will come back to you again.
1t is the duty of every girl
Who is left behind
To always remember the boy she loves
Who is on the firing line.
He did not want to leave you,
For he is gone to risk his life.
He is true American
And upholds the Stars and Stripes
The girls here are beautiful,
Most everywhere you roam,
But are nothing to compare
With the ones at home.
When the boys go marching by
In step with some national hymn,
1t thrills my heart to think
That ! am one of them.
| told you when / kissed
Those lips Of yours, so sweet
That | was going to leave you,
And again we may never meet.
Don't give me up, my darling,
If you love me you will wait.
If we don't meet on earth again.
We will meet at the golden gate
Some girls are not patient,
Who will not wait so long;
Will go and love Stacker
When their soldier bow has gone.
When he goes to fight the battle
For his country and for you,
His thoughts are always resting
On the one he thinks is true.
When he returns in years to come
And finds Won false,
His whole life will be ruined,
And his happiness lost.
Don't bear this strain, little girl.
Make your love be true
Greet the boy in khaki
When he comes marching back to
you.
Throw your arms about himl
Let him kiss your sweet little lipsl
Then he joyfully win tell YOU
All about his wonderful trips.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1918-06-20

Do not respect Stacker
They deserve not even a chance.
The boys whom you should honor
Are the boys who go to France.
| will close this letter hoping
You will be mine some day,
AS l bid you goodbye for this hour
And goodbye for the day.
If it be goodbye for month,
He loves you as true as ever.
Goodbye for a year,
And perhaps goodbye forever.
