The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-07-05

The following verses were written by
Albert S. Packer during the civil
war, and dedicated to his wife
The writer was a brother of j. T.
Packer of this place, and was killed
at Franklin, Tennessee, on NOvem-
Der .-30th, 1864. While the lines
were written more than half a
century ago, they are of special
interest during this great world
struggle, and are treasured by the
surviving brother.
GIN the bloody tide of battle
1t may be my fate to fall;
Yet Pm proud that / responded
To my bleeding country's call.
All those sweet associations
That were once my joy and life;
Are denied me. while Pm leading
This dull course of War like life.
While Pm on the tented field
And thy smiles no more l see;
In my brightest midnight visions
Oft / dream, dear one, of thee.
How my sad heart beat with rapture
How my bosom thrilled with bliss;
When on that cold December morning
l received your farewell kiss.
But once more l hope to greet thee,
When my soldier life is Ger;
And in friendships name to greet thee
AS | have in days of yore.

THE young MEN who serve In the
Naval Reserve Force are performing
duty Just az patriotic. just as essential
TO the final victory OF our arms In this
war, as that performed by the men Of
any other branch. of the nations foro-

That is Lieut.. Commander Truman
H. Newberry's answer in the New
York Evening Mail to the few scoffers
and critics Of the men In the Naval
Reserve.

ALL SERVING NATION.

Every man who wears an American
uniform Is serving the nation-iu
whatever capacity he is enlisted. And
those who volunteered for the NavaI
Reserve Force, because service on
the sea appealed to them, are ssrvins
Just where they belong.
I'm April last year. when the United
States entered the war, the only class
open for non-seagoing men was class
four. Since July /, 1917, however,, all
men In this class have volunteered fol-
general service, and no men will be
accepted now unless they volunteer
for general service.
Another thing. In common with
some other nations America has never
realized the important role OF its navy
In warfare. But you may be sure the
when this war has been finally won.
the United States Navy will have play
ed an essential part in the great vic.
tory. That will be a task for the his.
torians, and they will not begin their
work until peace comes. So we'll
have to wait. But the navys page
in that history will be brilliant onel'
And there you have the commanders
answer.
Incidentally, Commander Newberry
Is head Of family which has register.
ed 100 per cent, perfect in this war.
He gave up a large business in Mich..
gan to answer the Presidents call
Mrs. Newberry Is president of the
Needle Work Guild of America, which
Is devoting its entire strength to Red
Cross work. Their twin boys, Barnes
and Phelps, are on active service
Barnes is an ensign in the navy, on
duty somewhere on the Atlantic, and
Phelps 10 q major In the aviation SEQ
ton Of the army.
NEWsERRY KNOWS THE NAVY.
The commanders record includes 40
tive participation in two wars. He
was Secretary Of the Navy In Presi
dent Ro0ssvelt's cabinet. He holds
the only commanders commission
given to any man In the country pro
mstsd directly from civil life durisS

"oNLY NAVAL RESERVES"

Why does that branch Of the servico
attract SO many men? Are they draft
dodgers? Do they fear service at the
front in France? Do they seek to
enter a branch which will keep them
near home?
These are the questions which the
military editor of The Evening Mail
put to Commander Newberry, COM
mandant of the Naval Reserve Force
In the third district.
Only a few days ago two blue jack
cts sat In conversation In Broadway
subway train. At Forty.second street
two soldiers entered. After a whisp-
cred conversation and frequent glances
at the sailormen, one Of the soldiers
bent down to read the gilt lettering on
the jackies' hats. '
only Naval Reserve guys" he
sneered.
It wasn't the first time the military
editor had seen that sneer. Among
civilians, as we'll as among men In
uniform, the same attitude toward the
reservists has been noticed. So he
sought out Commander Newberry and
asked for comment.
you say there seems to be a tend
ency to belittle service In the reserve
force? There is no reason for II"
declared Commander Newberry.
Among soldiers and sailors there Is
always a friendly bantering. Some
times 1t Is not friendly. But it Is never
serious

Wheat and Rye fields are now rip
ening. We are all interested as never
before in good yield of all cereals.
1t is now too late to do anything
to increase the yield of this years
crop of wheat and rye, but not too
early to plan on an increased yield
for next year.
When the grain is ripening is just
the time to inspect fields of superior
varieties and see whether or not the
varieties being grown are up to the
standard.
Nearly every community in the
county has fields of Red Rock wheat
and Rosen rye and some interesting
things may be learned if farmers who
do not know these varieties visit
fields where they are growing.
Some very interesting things are
to be seen in fields of wheat in the
county where fertilizers were sown
last fall and checks without fertilizer
were left.
On one field which has come to the
attention of the writer in the last
few days, two hundred pounds of
Acid Phosphate per acre has appar-
emily doubled the yield of wheat over
the unfertilized checks, and without
doubt, every dollar expended for this
material in this field has returned
from $500 to $500 in increased yield
of wheat, and this is very conser-
vative estimate.

The Uniform

The best dressed man 10 all the land
Is he who Gears the uniform,
No rAiment fine, Of new design,
No tailored garment SnuK and warm,
In splrndor can compare today
With that rich raiment OF our youth
Our first and best In II are dressed.
The gArb OF liberty and truth.
Time was that tailors smiling told
All men tho fashion of the day
And as rhey dressed so they expressed
Their moods Ia somber huss or gay.
But now the eloth proelsims the man,
And conscience, not the tailor, speaks
And he who hseds the call for deodA
The uniform OF service seeks,
Time was that rold's distinction marked
The richer bSother from the rest,
But now men pass unmarked by class
And none can say which man Ia best.
Nor all the brosdeloth wealth can buy
Nor all the fashions art can make
Can nov compare with that men wear,
The urrfrom for freedoms sake
The army khaki and the blus,
Which marks men's service on the aeA
MAke richer dreaH, than kings possess,
They arc the raiment Of the free.
And he who wears the unifrom
And stands 10 serve the great command
Head high, today, may walk his way
The best dressed man In all the land.
