SERGEANT FREEMAN -0WENS
 Last summer, the Hun conceived the idea that if he should mass many more men and guns at certain strategic point than the Allies were able to command, he might sweep on uninterrupted to Paris The idea was we'll conceived. And the great gray horde of Kultured Barbarians crushed the Allied resistance and marched over ground soggy with Allied blood toward the heart of Branch. But they were stopped. The whole world knows how. And the whole world knows where. It was at Chateau Thierry. And the United States Marines, eight thousand of them, stayed the gory claws of the Hun, and saved Paris Eight thousand of them went into act ion. Six thousand of them were hit! The deeds of the U. s. Marines will live forever-in words,,'and song, and in the hearts of Amefioans forever But there is another way in which the work of the Marines Will be perpe- tuated. And that is Why Freeman Owens holds a warrant as sergeant in the Photography department of the U. S. Marines. He directs the taking of moving pictures of the marines in action, at work and at play. The pie lures are official United States Gov ernment pictures, and will be used to perpetuate the work done by the Marines. Freeman enlisted in March, 1918. He is now stationed in New York City.

and attitude of the state Department
of Health in some respects SAVIOR or
cold-hearted politics. Some have gone
so far as to suggest that IA continued
closing of the saloons throughout all

the present State Administration to
take away from Senator Sproul as many
votes as possible. If this is a true con,

say that think the move will act as a
boomerang. ! also do not hesitate to
say that all of the places have been

the thought that churches at this late

CABBAGES AND KINGS
(By F. S. SulIivan)

I've talked of until TO smell the smoke of battle;
Eve cursed the Huns until in dreams hear the rattle
Of chains and bones and ptchfo hot which are
toastng
And every time think of He'll smell the Kaiser roasting
I'm going to change my theme and talk of things
pleasant;
Forget the War Lord and the Kings mnge with the peasant
And talk of crops and calves and pigs the powboys cheerful
whistle,
OF flowers and birds and bumbebees of cabbages and thistle
Of mk-mads going forth at to meet the rising sum-
q wish the pals of milk blood extracted from the Hun
The mockng bird is singing in the moonlight sweet and clear
His silvery notes beseching TO be of constant cheer
The meadowla wadng breast deep in blossoms white,
His golden breast rejecting the sunshine mellow light
And everything peaceful amongst insects birds and bees
And cheerful little melodies signing through the trees
And toward the the little streamlet runs
q wish the streams liquid fire and the fishes in Hunc
How glad TO get my mind peaceful thoughts
And read the humber crop reports and watch the baseball
And gossip with the neghbors and compliment the chef,
And read the funny papers and laugh at Mutt and jeff
What's that morning paper with the ink dripping wet?
Just let read the headines Have the Germans broke
through yet?
