AN EDITOR GOES TO WAR
BY John Jay DAILY

We have laid aside the pencil and the pen
And we go to join the rank of fighting men;
From the Sanctum's swivel chair
To the trenches Over There
We are going like Daniel to the den
On the fields of France and Flanders shall fight
For the faith that places Right above the Might;
And the martial tread of feet
Thru the busy citys street
Tells of kindred souls aglow with Freedoms light.
Sure, It's sad to leave friends and all to roam
And depart for lands that lie across the foam;
But it's better far than write
If you do your bit and fight
Even If you never make the journey home.
There hearts that beat in sympathy with
There eyes in which we've highest towers
There are lips that we have pressed
Hands with fOndest hopes caressed-
There gardens where walked amid the flowers.
But-we leave these scenes OF peaceful, somber kind
And we go where Sorrow stalks and Care is blind;
Yet, we trust before It's thru
We will Weld sword that's true
And more mighty than the pen we leave behind.

BRINGING THE WAR HOME
(By the Prowers County Council Of
Defense.)

DID it pinch" bit to pay that
35 per cent Liberty Bond install
ment last week?
For some of us it was not easy.
but just think how nice it will be
when the thing is OVER, to have that
money saved and available.
If you are buying your bonds on
the Government terms, you should
have it all paid for by the 18th OF
August. By that time, saving Will
be habit and in September you
will naturally want to lay aside
lust as much money as you did III
July and August. Fine! "Obey that
impulse!" And unless you need
the money to catch up on your w.
s. s. pledge, stick it in the bank III
anticipation of the 4th Liberty
Loan.
Uncle Sam needs more doctors.
Colorado especially has fallen down
on her quota, and officers in charge
are thinking seriously OF resortlng
TO conscription in order to fill tl!e
1,.edical staff. 1t is desired, OF
course, to leave enough physicians
in each town to take care OF the
colnmunity's welfare, put when this
minimum is provided for, the army
needs the others.
$l,4OO,OOO,OOO in foodstuffs has been
shipped by the United States to
the Allied Nations during the past
year, according to Mr.. Hoover. This
included S5,0OO,00O bushels OF wheat
the expectation of which was
made possible by the conservation
work in this country.
The U. S. Marine Corps the
Devil Dogs, SO greatly feared by
the Huns-had been recruited to
the strength OF 55,1S5 up to close OF
business July 10th.
The great work being done by
these soldiers of the sea on the
Western Front in France, has speed
ed up recruiting in this branch OF
the service.
