Dear to me is every pathway
Where your precious feet have trod /;
But | give you fondly, freely,
To my country and my God.
You and shall never falter
In the work we have to do;
Go, my boy, where duty calls you
And my heart shall follow you.
/ shall pray for you-how often
With the waking hour of morn,
Through the labors of. my household
And when night is coming on.
If mothers prayers can keep you,
Mid the dangers you incur.
God will surely bring you back
Again to happ. ness and her.
will never doubt the goodness
That has kept you until now,
That has kept the evil from your
Heart, the shadow from your brow
And / know that it shall keep
You in the path you must pursue,
Go, my boy, where duty calls you
And my heart shall follow you.
If my boy were less hero,
Less the man in thought or deed,
| had less to give my country
In her trying hour of need;
And feel a pride in knowing
That to serve this cause divine
From the hearthstone goes no Drawer
Heart than that which goes from
mine.
| have loved you from the hour
That my lips first pressed your brow
Ever tenderly, but never
Quite as tenderly as now.
All | have is His who gave it,
Whatsoever He bids me do;
Go, my boy, where duty calls you
And my heart shall follow you.
| shall miss you in the springtime,
When the orchard is in bloom,
When the smiling face of Nature
Battles its beauty in perfume;
When the birds are sweetly singing
By the door and on the wing,
| shall think Of you who always
Used to pause and hear them sing.
Long will seem the waning hours
Through the drowsy summer day
With my boy exposed to dangers
On soil far, far away.
oPiAA sinai nv tiAA Aiti,
Though a tear bedim my view,
Go, my boy, where duty calls you,
And my heart shall follow you.
You will come and see your mother
Come and kiss her as you say;
From her lips receive the blessing
That shall cheer you on your way;
From her fond embrace go forward
To resist your country's foe
With the comforting assurance
That your mother babe you go.
Now may heaven protect and bless you
Holy angels guard your way,
Keep your spirit from temptation
And your feet from going astray.
To. your mother ever faithful,
To your country ever true,
Go, my boy, where duty calls you
And my heart shall follow you.

Old Guy" Was.

1t was at dance at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York when some can
dies dripped and made quite puddle
OF grease on the floor. A gentleman
standing at the door Immediately took
out his knife and his handkerchief and
began scraping up the CONCEALED
grease, when a very fresh young gen
tleman in our "set" tapped the gentle
man on the shoulder and said: Say,
old gentleman, you're interfering with
our Paul Jones. Suppose you cut that
out"
II was afraid some of the young la
dies might slip" courteously answered
the 'old gentleman"
"Well, they won't" answered
'Freshie." Besides, you're not run
ming the hotel" The "old gentleman"
had gathered up all the grease by this
time and, giving no answer to the last
remark, left the room.

after the dance-''that old man"

'His guests?" repeated willie"

DAIRY
GET LARGE-PR0DUCING COWS
9urebred Bull and Only Best Heifers
From Best Cows Should Be Chosen

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultureJ
Breeding furnishes the most econom-
cal way to obtain large-producing
COWS. The purebred bull, with genera
lions of high-prOducing ancestors back
Of him, must he used for breeding, and
only the best heifers from the best
cows should be chosen to be the dams
of the next generation. Pure breed
ing alone does not make a good sire.
The purebred sire should come from a
long line of high-prOducing ancestors.
If an old bull is selected he should have
high-producing daughters. Two courses
are open to the dairyman when buy
ing a herd bull; he can purchase a
young bull from a good, milk producing
stock, or he can purchase an old and
tried bull. In either case the bull
should be healthy and from a herd
free from disease; he should have g
good constitution and be of good con-
formation. In selecting a young bull

to have soldiers at Rock Island arse

Owing to the scarcity Of fuel and

that more attention should be given
to this phase.
