Men who proved to Uncle Sam
Your worth in battle and fray

You men of the Tenth

Before you enter the world war
With the other nations that fight
Before you sail DER the ocean where
Your comrades have gone before
Where big guns thunder and roar
You have picked by your Uncle Sam

Privates picked for your brain and

Men who have seen much service
With a feather stuck in your cap
Earned when you chased old villa
In the land of the Southern Map.
The Nation remembers Carriza
Captain Boyd and the stand you made
Seven months in the South midst heat
and the drouth
In a place where the soul of man
Becomes a mere clod and vision of
God
Is lost where the hot breeZes fan
You march in the cleaning, your day
and night roaming
The rivers you swan or just forded
Will all be remembered when Villa
dismembCred
For all of those are recorded.
You have drilled and struggled
In Mexico South of the Rio Grande
Where the little horned toad and the
lizard played in the burning
sand
You have missed in the bloomin
standstorms
Cussin the likes of it
But always ready if called on to an

LEDGER CARRIER Is POET

The Public Ledger is fortunate in
having a fine lot of bright carrier
boys at present and one of the num-
her, Denton W. Neal, eleven years of
age has become full fedged poet
and is patriotic all over. Noticing in
an exchange few days ago that the
government might draft dogs, Denton
was very much elated for he said that
if he could not go to war it might be
possible for him TO send his dog.
The youngster is very anxious to
serve his country in the navy and has
written the following poem which
does much credit to a chap his age:
81 would like to be a sailor
A sailor boy to be
would let my whiskers grow way
out
And sail the dark blue sea
| would love to hit the Kaiser
And eat the pork and beans
/ would to chase Won Hindenberg
And shoot the submarines"

this firm has already contracted for
260 car loads by rail.

Candidate for Judge Thirteenth
Judicial District

On November fifth the voters of
this thirteenth judicial district will
choose two district judges. Hon. c..
N. Houck, of Decorah, is one OF the
candidates. He was appointed to
the Office of Judge last April to fill
the unexpfred term of the late Judge
Hobson. That he has made good in
the judges chair there is no doubt,
as most favorable reports have
come from all over the district where
he has held court. Since his appoint
ment he has held the following
terms of court in this district:
May term in Howard county;
September term in Clayton county
September term in Fayette county;
October term in Chickasaw county
and adjourned April terms in Fay
cite and Winneshiek counties and is
now holding the relllar October
term in Allamakee county.
Since his appointment he has held
court more than fifty days and has
disposed upwards of 200 matters in
Court and tried several important
contested cases where the amounts
involved were large and legal ques-
tions intricate. Under this test it is
due to Judge Houck to say he has
made a fine record, as evidenced by
the newspaper accounts from all the
counties in which he has held court.
Aside from this work Judge
Houck has done a large amount OF
war work as Government Appeal
Agent, Member of Educational Com
mittee, Member Legal Advisory
Board, Four Minute Man and var
| ious other similar activities. He IS
we'll known to the people of Winnie
shiek county. He has lived in our
midst for many years. practiced law
here in Decorah, served the county
as County Attorney, and he enjoys
the confidence of all who know him.
A vote for Judge Houck will De
vote for high class public service.
Tho judges names on the ballot
will be found in the right hand
column, and the district judges
names appear at the bottom OF this
column underneath the supreme
court ticket.

have always been most fair and Inn
partial, and every attorney in the
district is we'll pleased with him.
Ever since Judge Springer has
been on the bench we have heard
nothing but the highest opinion ex-
pressed of him. He is man with a
heart and soul, one who always has
and always will do the square and

today, so think will get over it al
right. / received yours and Zoe's

had gotten for month, so was sure
glad to get them. / am so glad that
Gerald Francis came alright and that
he and Nina are getting along so
well. / showed the clipping that
Zoe sent me to Jud and he said hur-
rah for Nina and We're. / sure would
like to be back to see him. will
bet that he is some boy, anyway.
| bet Frank thinks SO, ha! ha!
sure would like to be back to see
him, and probably will be before
long. Say mamma there is nothing
that you could send me in the line
OF clothes for I have no way OF
carrying them. We have to carry
everything we have on our backs, so
the lighter the load the easier it is
for US. Uncle Sam gives us plenty
of clothes, so We are not suffering
very much for them. Once in while
it takes some time to get them, but
they always come. We are having
our fall rains over here now, so the
weather isn't so very nice, but we
have Isincoats, a pair of high top
boots, so We can keep fairly dry.
suppose you folks are rejoicing
over the good work the boys are
doing over here, for the Germans aro
sure catching hell, and We are going
to give them some more of it before
| it is over. Say in your letters will
you send me some quinine? Don't
put it in capsuls, but just some in a
piece OF paper, for that stuff comes
in handy when fellow has got a bad
cold The way things look now we
ought to be home next summer
sometime, don't you think so?
The Red Cross gave us a bar OF
chocolate last night. 1t was the first
| had in long time. 1t certainly
was some treat. The people in the
States can't give any too much to the
Red Cross, for they are alright. They
are the best we have over here.

Iowa's Wonderful Response to Every

Iowa's wonderful response to every
war activity is due primarily to the
fact that the state is so well organ

credited to the Governor, for he more
than anyone else, has led from the
very time war was declared, and has
constantly urged, in season and out
of season, that the state be organiz-

Harding called conference of some
thing like two hundred practical
