Where put in a pocket-a work OF art
But look bit closer and read, II you can.
The best motto to write over the heart
Of n man:
"sEMPER FIDELIS," in blue. don't you
see?
For semper ndelis I know you will be.
A secret I'll tell you. ia like to go too,
But my spirit goes along with the
sweater to you.
So wear II. my son,
When you fire of your gun.
Then I'll feel that I'm helping to pepper
the Hun.
Do oil that you do for yourself and one
other.
Then I'll know that I'm in It.
With love.
From Your Mother.

/, Here is q twelve line Sock Song from
the most valiant and ambitious knitter
among the Sock Singers yet heard
from. We have no doubt that the re-
cipients Of all her projected pairs Of
socks will be as pleased to have them
as we were to receive the song:
pair of socks for the Colonel,
A pair for the Major too,
Two pair for Jimmy that's marching
To save the old red. white and blue.
Some for the privates and sergeants,
No time to waste, must knit
To keep out the mud in the trenches,
I certainly must do my. bit.
And six pair for General John Pershirg
To wear when he hammers the Boche,
And one more II can squeeze in the
time
For our brave Generalissimo Foch.
