HIS STAR
BY Adolphe F.. Smylie
OF The Nigilantes

We laughed when little Bill said
Dad.
m going to the war"
But that's his star a-waying
On the flag outside our door
1t didn't seem conceivable
That such puny lad
Could get into the Army
But it shows the spunk he had.
Yes, Bill was a persistent
Bull-headed little cuss
Though when the doctors turned
him down
He didn't make fuss
lust said, Me for the country. Dad,
I'll come back fine as silk
I'll eat my weight in potcheeSe
And I'll swim in cream and milk -
That night he came and told me
lust before he went to bed.
\, near as he remembered,
What the Army doctors said
They listened through stethos-
cope
To get some inside news,
Md something in my heart told me
That was going to lose.
They didn't mention leprosy.
I'm glad haven't that
But I've got everything else, Dad,
TO put me on the mat
I'm underweight and undersized;
They say | have flat feet;
I'm short a few bicuspids.
Used for flecherizing meat.
My right lung is as good as new.
The other ones wreck
But through the lett one is not right
The right ones lett. by Heck
Then, iniantile paralysis
They say I've barely missed,
But spinal meningitis may
Soon put me on the list.
Ny optic nerves do not project
Clear pictures to my BRAIN
Nv pericardium shows that
m suffering from ptomaine.
Then somewhere in my system
There's i floating kidney loose
And there's too much saly-some-
thing
In my pancreatic juice.
They hinted at sarcoma
OF the epithellum;
! don't know. what it is but You'll
Admit that's going some!
My respiration is too short;
My tonsils are too long;
My whole metabolism is
Absodamlutely wrong;
But why should corpse worry
don't care now. what they said
Their autopsy distinctly shows
I've been a long time dead,"
Bill left next day for the old farm
Owned by his doting aunts,-
We haven't seen him since. although
He wrote to H. from France.
We laughed when little Bill said.
Dad.
I'm going to the war;"
But that's his star a-waving
On the flag outside our door.
Yes. Bill was a persistent.
Buil-headed little cuss.-
He writes he's now chief deck hand
On an eight-ton Army bus.

THE SOLDIERS WAR GAR
DEN.

4 harvest luncheon was given not
long ago near the biggest war gar
den in the country. That was the
soldier garden at Camp Dix. This
garden was an experiment. 1t
proved so successful that probably
al the big camps will have gardens
next year.
String beans and corn on the cob
just gathered the morning OF the
luncheon, potatoes dug by machin-
cry. and honey from army bees.
were some OF the products from the
garden enjoyed by the torty guests
at the luncheon.
Camp Dix crops Tor this one sea-
son-and the garden was started
late.are valued at $4,000. The sol
dier gardeners produced 200 tons OF
hay. Also they raised enough broom
corn for 10000 brooms which will
be used at the camp. At the pres
ent price oil brooms this crop alone
Was worth while
Many men not already for active
military duty upon their first ar
rival at the camp found the exercise
in the fresh air exactly what they
needed to fill ont hollow chests and
build up a sturdier physique. Two
thousand men passed through the
farm work division during the past
summer.
Similar war gardens at every camp
next wear will have a fine effect on
the men themselves and will help
greatly to reduce transportation
needs for the camps during the
fresh vegetable season.

DON'T FLY A WHITE FLAG.

Suppose President Wilson, instead
OF telling the Huns to get out OF
Belgium and France ii they meant
business. had granted the armlstce
thev asked ior. The >mashing VIC
tories won since by allied arms
would not have been won. Our ar
mics would have marked time while
Germany rebuilt her shattered di-
visions. forced the people OF invad-
ed territories into new slavery.
drew men. iood and materials from
Russia and made ready to ,taye oil
her punishment indefinitely. We
should have had doubly hard Job
then OF beating Germany to her
knees. 1t would have meant the
sacrifice oi additional millions OF
men.
As matters stand having the
Huns on the run, we are keeping
them on the run. adding every day
to their decentralization and incalcu-
lably fastening the day OF right
eous and lasting peace.
Financially, too. we have had the
enemy on the run. Our armies and
the armies OF our allies have fought
so bravely and successfully because
they had our dollars back OF them,
rolling mp to the battlefront in Il
ending stream OF food. guns,
ammunition and supplies. There
are men enough now; henceiorth 1t
is money that counts most
That means our money-your
money. 1t means the purchase OF
Liberty Bond, to the edge OF finan-
cial exhaustion. just as the warfare
at the front means the fighting OF
every soldier to the Iimi, OF physical
endurance To refuse is to fly the
white flag OF armi>ticc and surren-
der.
Those soldier, do not raise the
white flag. The president doesn't
raise the white flag. Let no man
or woman al home raise one. Buy
bonds

states he Is returning there In q letter
received by Mrs. Florence B. Simmons.
Of this city. his mother.
According to his own story recently
published, Mr.. Simmons was arrested
at Vologda and transferred with other
prisoners to a military prison IN Mos
COW, where he was held for three
weeks. He expected the death pen
atty. His passports were taken from
him and destroyed. and he was con
fined in a vermin-infested cell with
French and British subjects until MS
release was obtained through the ef-
forts OF members OF the American
legation. With several newspaper
correspondents, Mr.. Simmons escaped
into Norway.
The letter to his mother was written
from Hammerfest, Norway, on the
eve OF his return to Russia, and Il "a
supposed he Is in Russia now.

she saw what would happen, that in
the reaction from his depression he
would turn to Genevieve Mallory and
marry her.
"You're too young for me, anyhow
too soft and innocent. Once you told
me- that you couldn't keep step with
me. It's true. You can't. 1t was q

He took a deep breath, seemed to
shake himself out Of it, and smiled
cheerfully upon her.
"We'n put our treasure-trove on the
sled and 60 back to your friends" he
continued briskly. Tomorrow I'll send
men up to scour the hills for North
rup's body"
Sheba drew the canvas back over the
face of the dead man. AS she followed
Macdonald back to the trail, tears filed
her eyes. She was remembering that
the white, singing death that had
crept upon these men so swiftly had
missed her by a hairs breadth. The
strong, lusty life had been stricken
out of the big Cornishman and prob
ably Of his partner in crime. Perhaps
they had left mothers or wives or
sweethearts to mourn them.
Macdonald relieved Elliot at break
ing trail and the young man went back
to the gee-pole. They had discarded
mukluks and wore moccasins and
snowshoes. It was hard, slow work,
for the trail-breaker had to fight his
way through snow along the best route
he could find. The moon was high
when at last they reached the road

sheba Had Gone Over to the Enemy.
He hated the man who had robbed him
of Sheba, but he could not escape re-
specting him. Elliot had fought until
he had been hammered down into I'M
consciousness and he had crawled to
his feet and stood erect with the smile
Of the unconquered on his lips. Was
this the sort Of man to murder in cold
blood kindly old gentleman who had
never harmed him2 E--.- --
The only answer Macdonald found
was that Milton had taken him and
his partner by surprise. They had
been driven to shoot the cashier to
cover up their crime. Perhaps Holt or
another had fired the actual shots, but
