MORE BOYS WANTED
oskALooSA SHORT IN NAMES
FOR WORKING RESERVE.

What's the matter with the Boys
Working Reserve in the town of Os-
kaloosa? The government asks for
the names of all lads between the
ages of Is and 81, willing to get out
and do their bit, to do whatever work
they can, during school vacation this
summer, to help relieve the labor
problem, or to help out in any way
they may feel themselves competent
or able. The government asks such
lads, willing to do something to help,
If the thing offered them is within
their power, or liking, to register in
order that they might be found when
needed.
The act of registration does not
obligate any boy in any way. If a
piece of work is offered, boy is not
bound to accept it. He may work
or not as he sees fit No work may
result. No jobs may be offered. But
liz needed the government wants to
list its boys.
Thus far, only six boys of the
schools have registered with Super
intendent Flower, all from the High
school. Oskaloosa should register
any where from fifty to one hundred
lads willing to help their country in
this way. What is the matter with
the boys? Surely patriotism is not
lacking, and we all know they are
not afraid of work.
If you do not understand this regis
tration business, ask Superintendent
Flower about 1t. He will be pleased
TO answer all inquiries.
School boys are not the only boys
who may register. Any boy in the
city between the ages of 16 and Il
can give in his name. And mighty
good piece of work Or a permanent
position may be the result. The
government is looking for competent
and dependable young men and here
is an opportunity that should not be
passed by. This may be your op-
portunity. See Mr.. Flower and reg
lister Immediately.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

There is still anothe' reason why
Miss Duboc should be elected, and it
is equally as important as the ones
mentioned by the Globe" says the Os-
kaloosa Times During the past year
spirit of patriotism has been impart-
e dto the schools of the county partic-
luarly refreshing in these times Of
w.F. Ter this new spirit Miss Dnboc
is somewhat responsible. 1t is time to
teach our children America 10 the ex-
clusion of many other studies if nee
essary. We have been asleep at the
switch in this country, and in our dem
ocratic simplicity have permitted the
wrong ideas to become implanted in
the hearts of our children. We must
teach patriotism. And now while
American boys are dying at the front
for the preservation of our institutions
that man or woman who sees the need
of the hour as Miss Duboc has seen it
in our county schools gets our support
There ought not to be dissenting

AANE a WAR GARDEN.

Kaiser Bill is raising thunder
With the common trend of things
BY his scheme to Stay and plumber
Every one from slaves to kings
Paths Of progress and production,
He ignores or sweeps aside
With his program of destruction.
He and his Satanic guide.
Hungry mouths have seldom eaten
Over there. from year to years
And unless the Kaiser's beaten
II may be the same; right here.
If YOU haven't yet enlisted
Here's your chance to make hit
Big and strong and double listed,
Get hoe and do your bit.
There's a place out by the stable
Or the wood-shed or garage,
you have time and you are able,
Are you going to shirk and dodge
DO not be garden Stacker
And refuse to do your share,
FOR the outlook still grows blacker
For those legions, over there.
Never mind the knockers warning.
When he says your stuff won't grow
Take an hour or two each morning
And apply your spade and hoe.
Then from May until November
What a wealth of grub there1l be!
Tons and tons of which, remember,
Can be shipped across the sea.
You can bet the Kaiser's grinning
If you sit and twirl your thumbs,
For it means he's sure winner
When the final showdown comes.
Would you help that Demon, Royal,
Put his wrecking program through
Men are loyal or disloyal.
Take you choice. It's up to you.
