The Man Behind

Our soldier boys are at the
front with bayonet and gun TO
make the naughty kaiser squirm
and put him on the run.
They're mobilizing at the camps
and going thru the drill, and we
needn't doubt they'll make it
warm for boastful Kaiser Bill.
Our soldier boys are in the
trench with gallant hearts all
true; but there's work for war
aplenty for the left-at-homes to
do, for the farmer and the mer-
chant. and the man who owns a
bank and the man who runs a
tractor and the man who turns
crank, for the man who yields
the wrench-oh, there's work and
plenty of it for the man behind
the trench.
We must save and we must
hustle as we've never done be-
fore, we must raise the stuff to
feed them, SO the boys can win
the war. They can win 1t IL we
help them, IL we do our duty plain
in our stores and fields and work
shops, with our money and our
grain.
The business man, the farmer
man, the orchard man, the jolly
muleteer, the barber and the
preacher and the banker and the
cook and the man who raises
pumpkins and the man who
writes a book-theres' a duty
clear for all of us, at office, field
and bench. We can win it IL we
each will be the man behind the
trench. Glen Bradshaw.

BRAVE MEN AND TIMID
 DOLLARS

Never in the history of the world have men been braver than they are today. Never has the Death of Battles stalked in 6 more hideous or more terrifying form. Men in thousands have braved the terrors of the sea-the dread typhoon-the obscuring fog-the iceberg and the hidden reef. They have fought bat ties, ship to ship, when gun belched into gun and sharpshooters fired from the fighting tops, but never before have they faced the unseen terror that sneaks through the dark blue depths of the ocean and launch es it's deadly bolt with comparative safety to it's own hull and crew.
 The very thought of falling from height is terrifying to the average man, and yet our boys eagerly go up aloft until they are mere specks upon the sky, and there in cookie shells of cloth and spruce, they fight like eagles for the mastery of the air.
 Men have gone down in mines to rescue comrades from the poisoned damp, but never before has the air we must breathe been poisoned over areas bounded by miles, when the eyes smart with acid tears and every breath is an agony ending in a hideuos death
 Men in the past have faced spears, clubs and slings, arrows and swords, bullets and cannon balls, but the machine gun and the high explosive shell are beyond all previous ex- perience and they shatter nerves when they fail to break bones.
 Death holds high carnival on the poppy fields of France, yet our boys 20 lover there" with a smile and jest, singing their battle hymns.
 There are many brave hearts who are condemned to stay at home, but since that must be, do not humilate your spirit by nursing timid dollars Do not compel your government to bomb your wealth out of the dug outs and cellars in which you have hidden it and take it away at the point of the bayonet. Marshal your money and put it on the firing line with your boys-invest in Vic tory-Liberty is worth the price.

cry for counter-attack somewhere

lery for counter-attack somewhere it might mean very serious develop ments for the British troops who were holding this particular section of front rather lightly.
 "All doubt on this score was quickly settled, for a long gray line could be seen leading from the north across the bridge to the south bank of the river, where a mass of about 400 soldiers was gathered Here indeed was target worthy of notice.
 The leading pilot dived almost vertically, released his two bombs and watched them burst in the river, missing the bridge.
 "The second pilot now dived and in five seconds the Germans saw his second bomb strike the dead center of the bridge and explode with great force, completely destroying and sinking the two middle pontoons. Detached from the moorings, the re- mainder broke away and began to float slowly down stream.
 Realizing their plight, the Ger mans who had already crossed be- came quite demoralized. Many plunged into the water, while others tried to hide among the vegetation. Nothing, however, could conceal them from the devilish hail of lead which now poured down from the air above them. Round and round at height of less than a hundred feet circled the two English air planes, the piercing staccato of their Vickers sounding high over the drone of the engines.
 For ten minutes the slaughter went on, with very brief intervals and then, with their last round fired the airmen turned for home, having accomplished as much for their side as an important trench raid in which hundreds of men might be engaged"

Here are your dolls my dear fairies, -
said the queen Take one apiece"
The little fairies looked about 9ni then
ut their queen. "But where are the
dolls?' they asked. ''N esce only flowers.
The holl yhocks flowers are your dolls,
said the queen, touching each blossom
with her wand. and tiny face appeared
on each flower rs the blossom jumped
from its place on the stalk.
Oh how the little fairies jumped
about and laughed, for each had doll
with gayly colored dress, crimson,
purple, white and red, and no mortal
child ever had such beautiful dolls they
all told the queen
Now, remember, you are to put each
doll back in its place as soon as you finish
playing with it, )" warned the queen. If l
find one out Of place | shall take them
away"
All through the night the little fairies
PLAYED with their hollyhock dolls, and
when the faint streak of dawn showed
in the sky, back the dolls were placed on
the big stalk, and when the morning sun
looked into the garden all the holl yhocl $
were blooming more brightly colored
then ever.
The queen went through the garden
but not doll did she find out of its place,
and every night while the hcllyhocks
bloom if you could see with fairy eyes
you would see at midnight the fairies
all taking doll and playing with them
under the flowers
You would see, too, that each little
fairy never forgot TO put away her doll
before she went home, and that is the
reason she always could find it the next
night, with It's pretty dress All fresh and

THE FAIRIES DOLLS.

One day every year the queen Of the
fairies gives her little subjects holiday
upon which they can ask for anything
they wish and If the queen thinks it
is best and good she grants the wish.
II was on such a day that one little
fairy asked for doll "Just like the
little mortal children" she said, with
pretty dresses"
The queen was very thoughtful for a
| minute, for no one had ever asked for a
doll in fairyland, and she was puzzled
to know where one could be had.
"Oh, dear queen, we all would love to
have q pretty doll to play with once in
a while" said all the fairies, crowding
about the queen.
IL will grant your wish upon one con-
dition," said the queen, dand that is
you must put them away when you fin
ish playing with them, for if you do not
you will cause a great deal of trouble" !"
OF course, each little fairy promised
Faithfully to put away her doll as soon
rs ever she was through playing with it,
so their queen told them TO meet her at
midnight the next night, and they should
have their dolls.
Oh how busy all the little fairies
were the next day you cannot think
They flew about hither and thithcr doing
all the commands of their good queen.
just as the midnight hour struck the
next night all the fairies gathered in the
dell and their queen told them to fol-
low her.
She led them over hill and down
dale, and presently into beautiful big
garden filled with all sorts Of flowers
Past all of them she flew until she came
to the tall Holyhocks standing by Ae
stone wall at the end of the garden
