A LITTLE SLICE O. LIFE

Next door to us lives a beautiful
Young maiden whose fiance has
Gone away to the sanguinary wars.
OF late she has been very nervous. =
Like all the rest of US, concerning
The great German drive in France.
The situation has been painful.
But, in spite of her nervousness,
The young lady has been hopeful.
She has kept saying to us:
"Never mind, the tide will turn soon
Well teach those roughnecks lessor
That they will not soon forget
Today she burst in upon us, radiant.
She almost screamed: Its all right
We are safe at last. The Germans
Will advance no further. Look!
She showed us cablegram which
said:
Arrived safe. Jack"
So it's all over now and we are saved
Gosh! 1t must be fine to feel
The way that girl feels about Jack.
A prominent manufacturer of mems
clothing says suits will cost SIS each
next year.
But the young man can always gel
fine new suit for nothing by joining
the army.
Personally, being too fat to fight
we feel that going about wrapped ir
horse blanket will be a pleasan,
thing if it will help drive back the en-
envy.

Garden Pests

Watch the garden for insect pests. These are of two distinct types, biters, such as tomato worms which eat the leaves. and suckers. such as plant lice which suck the juice from the leaf or stem.
 Insects that eat the leaves can be controlled by spraying the plants with arsenate of lead at the rate of two pounds to fifty gallons of water. Add to this mixture one pound of soap. Sucking insects can be destroyed by spraying the plants with Black Leaf 40, at the rate of one teasDoonful to one gallon of water.
 The two solutions may be mix ed and applied with a spray pump where both kinds of in sects are found.

We Must All Pioneer Again

The great war has brought about a condition among the American people which pretty much resembles that of pioneer days out west here where man was a man, so long as he was a man, but it didn't make much difference how much money he claimed to be worth. Today the rich and the poor mems sons are walking along the same roads, sharing the same hard ships and learning to love each other with a feeling that will never abate so long as life shall last. It is possible that the ex- tremes were getting two far apart and there was a great need that a great people should be cemented together again. It is easy to stray away in the days of ease and plenty, but inevita- bly, there is something to call us back again to the great truth that linen are but men, great or small, and each must have the help of the other to answer free dom's duty call"
