The small son of Attorney General
and MIS-. S. NJ. Brewster is proving
himself somewhat of a poet. Jack
Brewster is in the eighth grade at
Clay school. The following poem en-
titled, My Boy Across the Sea-" is
very good for one SO young to have
written:
| miss him by my side,
While | sit and watch the rolling tide;
! My boy across the sea.
And still I watch with longing eye,
The deep blue rolling sea.
Wondering if twill bring to me
My soldier boy across the sea.
He used to sit upon the bench,
But now he's in the dirty trench;
He hates the kaiser, and so do L;
I'm sure he'll come back to me,
Back, back, across the deep blue sea,
Back to me by and by.
He used to play the live long day
In Our back yard, the neighbors say;
But now he plays, 1 know not where,
MY soldier boy across the sea
He is a hero in Gods country.
That soldier boy across the sea
He Will fight with all his might
For Gods country and me;
For Uncle Sam and Wilson, too,
rights my boy across the sea.
HIS He is but one; ,, that boy of mine.
Across the deep blue rolling sea
God bless them every one:
Three cheers for the boys across the sea,
Fighting for Uncle Sam and his country

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
|. Who says she wonders what people
in, general did before they had the
word "camouflage." Now the college
girl uses it to describe the methods
of her rival, the politician calls the
campaigning of his opponent "camou-
f1ase'' when said opponent is doing
all those nice things for the good Of
his city and the people the clut
: woman likes the word and cover.
MANY hidden meanings with it. and
