Save the Boys

God save our boys in blue,
Save those in khaki, too,-
God save our boys.
Guard them where'er they be-
Lead them to victory
And make it safe for democracy
God save our boys.
God save the twenty-one,
If not, "Thy will be DONE
God save the boys.
They were the first to go
Across to meet the foe,
And suffer from the tyrant's blow
God save the boys.
ELLA CAHOON.

Uncle Sam has nothing against the
German people,
Only those that blow and brag
About the Bundersat and Reichstag.

Now let us here, in Gods own land
Be ever ready to take the stand
To make all nations forever free
A good, safe place for democracy.

A Queer Freak


lines from Marion Farris Of Cassel ap-
peared, and for some reason all OF the
verses were not sent to this once.
The whole of the Introductory and
poem follow:
This Office has received a photo
graph of an object cut by Marion
Farris of Cassel from the natural
growth of a tree-evidently one OF
those abnormal things sometimes
found in the forest. The object STANDS
5 feet inches high, the circumference
being 10 feet s inches.
THE KAIsER's TOMBSTONE
Mr. Farris calls it "The Kaiser's
Tombstone," and has written the fol
lowing lines with the suggestive title
of:
The Kaiser to Meet His Doom
The kaiser is bound to meet his doom,
We are fortunate all ready to have MS
tomb.
II don't make any difference in what
land,
He might just as we'll throw up his
hand.
On land or sea or in the air,
Our American boys will get there.
Uncle Sam don't ask dollar,
And vet pro-Germans they will holler.
III
Now the strangest thing to me
Is that everybody cannot see
Anv man not affected with insanity
Can see we are in it for the sake OF
humanity.
Now while Uncle Sans army is on the
increase
The kaiser and his followers are cry
| ing for peace,
And while they're going about with
evil intent,
Let us stand firmly behind our presi-
dent.
Just think for a moment if Germans
should rule,
And invade this fair country with
nation so cruel,
You soon would find your backs sharp
as a razor,
Going about doing dirty work for the
kaiser.
VI
They came here without stitch
And some of them with the seven-year
itch;
Now while most of them have become
rich,
Talk about war and they get on
high pitch.
VII
--ow try and get this in your beam
There's no use hiding behind the
screen;
If their works were on the level
They wouldn't have to serve the devil.
VIII
They we'll deserve the name OF Huns.
For the murder of women and little
ones,
In the name of a nation it is q dis
grace;
Even the Indians may feel proud of
their race.
Now if old William thinks he can do
as he please,
/ The best thing he can do is to get
down on his knees
And make some more promises, this
time just and true;
There's to be no more fooling with the
red, white and blue.

/, Take him, boys, take him; don't give

Jerk his props from under him ana

And when you have finished him De

When the job is finished. boys, you
| can come back home, by heck!
Let it be proclaimed from the very
highest steeple,

SUNDAY SCHOOL
AND THE WAR

A nation wide campaign to
establish a teacher training
class in every Sunday School
in America is being launched.
The Sunday School is one OF
Americas greatest resources,
and as such must contribute
its full share toward the win
ming Of the war. 1t can do
this best by helping maintain
the spiritual morale of the
country, and by preparing
itself for the Tremendous OPP
portunity that will belong to il
in the reconstruction period af-
ter the war. Not only must our
people be taught the meaning
of this war. but they must also
be trained for the rebuilding OF
lthe world on a Christian basis.
Trained teachers are necessary
| for this monumental task. The
teacher training drive is fol
this purpose. The churches In
this community and the state
unite in this campaign. Fur
ther announcements will be
made in these columns.

SAVING STAMPS FOR PRIZES.

The Department of Agriculture
heartily endorses a suggestion of
Louisiana chamber OF commerce, that
all premiums given to prize winners at
agricultural fairs be paid in war saw
ings stamps. a recommendation to
that effect has been sent to Federal
and State officials all over the coun-
try. SO far, the idea has met with
hearty approval There is no reason
why it should not be followed every
where by The associations in charge of
state, county and other fairs.
And why restrict it to fairs? Why
shouldn't prizes offered in any form
of competition be paid in this way?
Thrift Stamps would surely be as ac-
ceptable as anything else to the win
ners al card parties. They might be
offered. too, as prizes for juvenile
games, for various kinds of sporting
affairs, for newspaper contests and all
sorts of things. Most people doubtless
prefer them to the sort of objects or
dinarily given as prizes. or even to
cash and Uncle Sans war fund would
prosper accordingly.

TOBACCO IN STATE
SETS NEW RECORD
Crop Bringing Highest Prices In
Years. Much Competition
For Supply.

Ever since the new crop of Mary
land tobacco began to reach this mar
ket the price has been steadily ad-
vancing. 1t has now made a new high
record of 40 cents a pound for the
best grades, and the buyers, who are
in sharp competition for the crop. are
unwilling to express an opinion as to
where it will stop. Looking at con-
ditions from a relative standpoint. this
seems a marvellous price for the home
grown tobacco crop. Whenever
group of farmers assemblies they be-
gin to compare existing prices with
those prevailing before the war, pay
ing especial attention to the prices the
crop would net them only few years
ago For instance. one Southern
Maryland farmer said that one hogs
head of selected tobacco now will
bring as much as did his whole crop
in 1912
One of the leading tobacco buyers
said he was in the market for the
stock which met his requirements, and
that he would have 10 meet the COM
petition in obtaining what he wants
Viewing the situation from this angle,
therefore. he was unwilling to say
how high the price will so, though he
he admits that it may have reached a
level which will afford little profit 10
the shipper or the manufacturer.
A boost has been given to the Mary
land crop because of the difficulty in
getting foreign-grown tobacco for
cigar-making and smoking tobacco
uses in this country There are not
ships enough, hence most of the do
nestle manufacturers have to rely on
the homegrown product to meet their
needs.

THINK BEFORE WRITING.

Some folks are writing a whole lot
of unnecessary letters to The govern
ment at Washington. a good many of
the letters simply ask questions about
all sorts OF things that the inquring
citizen could easily learn without an
noying Uncle Sam with his CORE
spondence. others carry wondrous-
suggestions for winning the war All
of these letters together are taking
up the full time of hundreds of clerks
in sorting, reading and answering this
deluge of thoughtless correspondence
What would be only nuisance in
ordinary times becomes more serious
i'm these strenuous war days when
there is so much vitality important
work on hand that must be done
promptly and effectively with as much
elimination of waste effort as posi-
BILE
The government is therefore sending
out through the country an appeal
that the would-be letter writer's think
twice before they dash off a needless
epistle to headquarters. In $4,000
postofIces of this country there APP
pears daily Official u. S. Bulletin.
Careful perusal of this would answer
"A good many of the questions asked in
the letters that pour into Washington.
Then there are local authorities suf-
iiciently informed and obliging to
answer other questions and to receive
suggestions without troubling the ma
TONS capital.
Suppose we spread the good work
around that nice saving of station
cry, postage and, most important of
ALL the time of those many clerks ut
Washington, can and must be effected
by a curtailing of our unnecessary
correspondence with Uncle Sam.
