A BOYS VACATION

Little Tommy Doodle and his mother
 spent a week At Gran'pa Doodle's farm, where
 Tommy tumbled in the creek And got his lungs so full of wet he
 couldn't get his breath Till poor old Gran'ma Doodle had
 been frightened most to death. He ate some poison berries that he
 found along the lane: It took doctor half the night to
 soothe away the pain. He tried to ride a "kicky" colt--a
 risky thing to do-- Twas quite little while before they
 really brought him to. He stuck a stick into hive of bees
 Oh sorry day! He couldn't see thing until the swell
 ing went away. He leased the goat to see if it was
 cross as he had heard: They had to work with him awhile be-
 fore he spoke word. And then he climbed cherry tree just like a boy-and fell And broke his arm, and-sakes alive! you ought "a heard him yell. His mother took him back to town to get little rest, But Tommy says of all his life that week was far the best.

The grandstand at Asylum Park was filled. All the nuts were out and became "bugs" when the umpire called "Play ball." Cigar was in the box and had plenty of smoke. Small pox was catching.

A BURDEN FREELY BORNE

Newspapers have been very patrio- tic since this country entered the war; in fact, too much so for their own good. The result is that they are be- ing ridden to death, especially by the government. Publicity men by the hundred have been hired to get up and send out special and many brands of publicity. Carloads of this stuff are sent to the papers every day. It is all to be printed free. Every one of a score of boards and councils and or ganizations engaged in governmental work is asking and receiving free space for advertising everything the government has for sale and to ask for everything the government wants to use. That is all right, A news paper that won't help it's government gladly in time of war ought to be sus- pended. But still, it is not we'll to ride a free horse to death. The govern ment is paying for everything it uses in the war except publicity. In fact, it is paying more and more for these things every day. Paying more for labor fore for freight, more for food; more for steel; more for powder; more for ships; more for wood; more for paper. An, there's the rub, So are the newspapers paying more for paper. It costs newspaper to pro duce publicity, just as it costs a deal CT to provide steel or wood or food or transportation. Every government agent in the country or head of a board or council leans upon the news papers of his town or district like a man upon a stout staff, and they fail him not. Space worth millions has been given free and gladly and more millions will be given. But they are riding this horse to death. The last blow was when the government, con- trolling the railways, ordered them to cease spending money for news paper advertisements. What will the government do for publicity horse after it has ridden the newspaper horse to death?

SHIP CALKERs BADLY NEEDED

"Ship calkers are badly needed in the ship building yards on the coast said J. T. Snoeberger. There are a good many men scattered over the country who have had experience in this line of work and the government wants them as soon as they can get them"
 Mir. Snoeberger is president of the local Carpenters Union, and a special appointee of the government to look after this branch among mechanics who can be useful. If there are any calkers in this section of the country he would like to hear from them inn mediately.
