The Final Battle

There's a battle that is raging
Many miles across the sea,
1t is terrible and tragic
And the worst in history,
And our Yankee boys are in it;
They are helping to win the war;
And when you're asked to save flour
Can you justly say, what for"
Nictorys hanging in the balance
Right and might must fight it out
One of them must be the conqueror,
It's no friendly boxing bout,
They are dying by the thousands,
Shall we fail to do our part
Shall we say we are too busy
Make them think we have no heart?
Never, we are from America
And we mean to do our bit.
And while our boys are fighting
We will by the window sit,
And WELD with hands untirng
The needless large and small,
And some of us will gardens make;
There is something for us all.
Wen send them CHEEKY letters,
lhose SammieS over there
And as we mail the messages
Well send them with a prayer.
Well follow Mr.. Hoover's rules
The very best we can,
For we know that every bit we save
Will feed just one more man.
That's gone to fight for freedom
And for country and for home,
So that our boys can help defeat
And drive far back the Hun,
con to Berlin" is their battle cry
And before the year is up,
Twill be on to Berlin for our Yankee
men
And they'll sup where the Kaiser now
sups.
Oh, then we will call it New York mum.
Der two,
The Palace will be Windham Castle
And the big main street we'll rename
Balleul
To remind them of the past battle.
Oh yes, it won't be very long time
Before all this is a fact,
And after Berlin is a Yankee town
Our boys will be all coming back.

SEND YOUR NEWSPAPER
TO BOYS OVER THERE

Next to letter from home, a copy
of the home town weekly paper is the
best thing to send our boys over there"
said Prof. Willard G. Bleyer, head of
the department of journalism at the
University of Wisconsin, in addressing
patriotic rally of North Dakota edi-
tors at Bismarck, under the auspices
of the state council of defense.
Urge your readers to send copies of
your paper to the boys, or to cut out
column or two of locals and enclose
them in their letters. The boys want
to know what is going on in the home
town that they have left behind, and
nothing tells them the news more sat
isfactorily than the local newspaper.
Soldier boys in camps in this coun-
try are quite as eager to get the local
weekly papers as are those on the other
side"

BABY RIVERHORSE
Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus Has
Tiny Hippopotamus

amy
When Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace circus
visits Rutland, Monday, June 3, there
will be on exhibition in the managerie
the smallest hippopotamus ever brought
to America. 1t reached the circus a few
weeks ago and has been given a place
OF honor among the many
other unusual specimens of Far Eastern
animal life The baby riverhorse was
caught in British South Africa, by
means of pitfall-a deep trench, the
mouth of which is covered by a net
work of moss and sticks to resemble
the grassy earth. When the animal
took his fatal plunge he fought so
ferociously that it required twenty
natives to drag him from the dark hole
and make prisoner of him.
The children who visit the circus will
be delighted when they see the two
cutest little jungle babies that ever
rolled out of the thicket. To be precise
however, they never saw a jungle, be-
ing captive-born lions and used to city
ways. They are little balls of soft fur
with bright, blinking eyes and playful
paws. Their mother, and proud beast
she is, watches over her offspring zeal
ously Woe be unto the venturesome
keeper who seeks to pet those babies
through the bars of the cage. Mamma
is jealous beast and will brook no in
reference in her domestic affairs.
One of the institutions on the Carl
HagenbeCk-W Wallace Circus grounds
that attracts much attention is the
travelling postoffice. Probably no other
office in America is visited daily by
such cosmopolitan gathering. Joseph
CoyIe is the postmaster of Wallaceville.
lie is well-ftted for the job, as he
speaks French, German, Spanish, Hin
doostani and Polish and knows enough
Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and
modern Greek to make himself under
stood in those tongues.
An idea of the cosmopolitan aspect
OF the show may be had from a careful
study of all the people in the morning
parade. For an hour the wonders of the
earth unfold themselves as they pass
before spectators. There are duskv
queens, seated in richly draped howdahs
on the backs of elephants; desert chief
tains perched on camels and drome-
diaries, FarEastern potentates and
their retinues in gold chariots and
thrones; Australian bushmen and
boomerang throwers on horses; the
military of European Kingdoms, richly
costumed; court ladies and diplomats
in coaches of state; Oriental statesmen
in rickshaws and palanquins, and saw
age chiefs and tribesmen, in barbarian
carriages of war. The characteristic
music of the countries of the earth is
played by bagpipers, great brass bands
organs, reed and string orchestras, cas-
tanet ballets, tom tom players, drum
and bugle corps, weird chanters, chimes
and siren pipes,-Adv.

To Study Effect of Eclipse

On June s, when the moons shadow
will pass diagonally across the United
States from Washington to Florida, the
Weather Bureau, in connection with its
Investigations in solar radiation, or
amount of heat received from the sun,
plans to take advantage of the unusual
ly favorable opportunity to study the
effect of an eclipse upon meteorological
conditions, Special measurements of
the intensity of scolar radiation will be
made at three stations in Nebraska,
Idaho, and Oregon. Efforts will be
made to obtain accurate observations Of
pressure, temperature wind direction
and velocity, and shadowbands at 40
stations within the belt where the sun
will be 80 per cent eclipsed. The data
obtained are expected to be OF impor-
lance in studies of the circulation of the
atmosphere,

extra session of the 9th District
Baptist Association, which was
held on the Bynum plantation at
Bethlehem church, Rev. S. T.
Wilkins pastor, beginning Friday,
May "a, and ending Sunday, May
rs. The people of that place
spread dinner on the ground as
never before. The Lord has said
He would bless the cheerful
giver. Well, those colored sisters
and brothers will be blessed.
They had everything pleasant
for the delegates. A good SER
mon was preached on Sunday,
and the spirit descended as on
the day of pentecost. May the
blessings of the Lord rest on all
who stand for Him, is the pray
er of all the ministers who at
tended. L. w. WALLACE.
