The Y. M. C. A through it's county
wor k department., is engaged in the
business Of helping the boys of the
rural districts make good" It plans
to make them better men.
The writer of the following letter
believes there is no better way of
reaching them.
Moorestown, N. j., Dec. 4, 1917.
My. Dear Mr.. Read: In reply to
your request for a statement from
me relative to the success of the
County Y. NJ. C. A. work, wish to
say that have been a member of our
county committee for Is years and
its chairman for seven years and l
am convinced that there is no better
way of reaching the boys of small
towns and rural communities than
by means of the county Y. M. c.. A.
work. In several small communities
of our county where efficient leader
ship has been available, the uplift of
the boy life has been very marked.
The work has won a place here in
Burlington county, because of it's real
merit. l would consider it nothing
short of a calamity to have to dis
continue our County Y. M. C. A.
work. Very truly yours,
(Signed) VIM. F. Overman,
Chairman.

som EWHERE

(By E. H. TOstevin) 80. -.
It's a sizeable place, this Some
where"
AS big as the whole war zone.
We like it at times, yet we hate it.
For it causes us many groan.
We sailed from the port of Some
where"
And we travelled Somewhere" on
the sea
Til we landed again at Somewhere
And it sounds mighty funny to me
We left Somewhere for Some
where"
And we're camping Somewhere
for spell;
It's so that when one mentions
Somewhere
We're almost tempted to yell.
There's somewhere in France
and in England,
And there's Somewhere" else at the
front,
1t was Somewhere" the boys were
in battle
Just Somewhere" bearing the brunt
It's Somewhere" the censor is cut
Somewhere from the letters We
write,
1t seems we've been "Somewhere'd'
forever
And it had us most ready to fight.
At night we no longer have night
mares,
We dream one continuous trip
From Somewhere" back home tt
Somewhere"
When We sleep, into Somewhere
We slip.
Geography's gone to the races,
The faces of maps are all changed
Somewhere" in Somewhere" viz
Somewhere"
And our minds are completely de
ranged.
Ye Gods! Is the world mad com
pletely,
Will Sanity e'er reign again?
Will we ever get back from Some
where" to Earth?
II so, please tell us when.

CHEAP. PATRIOTISM

At a patriotic meeting over in Min
nesota resolution was passed pledg-
ing resources and efforts to success
full prosecution of the war. From 1900
present contribution of II cents per
man was made from the resources.
Such meeting in North Dakota
would have been worth 81 500 or ST.
600. Whether our farmers belong to
the Nonpartisan league or not, their
patriotism is above the shilling brand.
If that is the kind of support the
government is to receive from the re-
sources of 1900 men who are able
bodied enough to attend conven-
ton, then the prospects of soon ter
minating the war will 60 glimmering.
Here Is the resolution and account Of
the meeting: -.
I'VE, patriotic citizens of the state
OF Minnesota, meeting at Thief River
Falls, Pennington county, this 18th
day of February, 1918, the anniyer-
sary of the birth of that great eman-
cipator, Abraham Lincoln, do hereby
reafiirm our trust in, love for and pas
triotic allegiance to the government
OF the United States. Mindful of the
great dangers which menace our
country both from without and with
in, we solemnly pledge all our re-
sources and efforts to the successful
prosecution of the war against Ger
many and her Allies, Etc, Etc.

Answering to an appeal of A. c..
Iownley, president Of the Nonpar-
tisan league, for a free will Offering.
to the Red Cross, 1900 farmers con,
tributed $18O.6O at Nonpartisan
league meeting at the auditorium
here this afternoon. The theater was
damned with farmers and their wives
and local business men and Mr.. Town
ley was accorded an ovation at the
close of his two hour and a half
speech. It was the largest crowd ever
assembled under one roof in Thief
River Falls. The seating capacity of
the theater is 1900 and although ex-
ira chairs were brought in, hundreds
were forced to stand.

AMT. 1T 50, BOYS?

You boys may tramp to battle
With gun and comfort-kit:
May load and fire the cannon
But it takes US girls to knit.
You boys may steer the aircraft.
And through the cloud-land fit,
Or dive into the OCEAN
But it takes us girls to knit.
You may even do the voting,
And in the congress sit
Discussing weighty questions
But it takes US girls to knit.
Perhaps you redicule US,
And call our work our "bit,"
But ere this war is ended
You'll be glad that we can knit.

SOME READABLE VERSE
FAIR WARFARE

The beasts, and birds. and fish, and
flowers, and trees, and grasses
too,
Once thought they'd go to war, be-
cause it seemed the thing to do.
A quick tent-caterpiller pitched the
tentshells right away,
And called the camp Campestris,
since it came up in a day.
A shad was there to shadow and a
cuckoo came to cook.
Around the camp rhubarb-wire to
stretch. they undertook.
Asnipe looked after snipers and a
spider spied for spies.
A flying squirrel and balloon-vine
secured the far-o6 skies
With helmet.fower upon his head and
Lakewood in his hand,
The sergeant-dsh looked after all re-
cruits in his command.
The mustard mustered forces strong
and had no end OF slugs.
AgoodHy sight it was to see the big
brave soldier-bugs.
The army-worm and armidillo, bold
as bold could be,
Stood shoulder next to shoulder with
the flea that would not fee.
The trigger-fish stood ready to be
pulled at duty's call,
And ambush-bugs lay hidden so they
did not show at all.
The sword-fsh and the scabbard
fish; the spear-mint and the pike;
And arrow-heads were ready with
the cutlass-fsh to strike
A bull was there with bullets and
the shell-fsh there with shells.
A large Bermuda on on made the
best of s(c)entinels.
A submarine torpedo fastened UP tc
play the game.
A bat looked after batteries; ram
earned we'll his name.
They signaled with the helio-trope;
used rockets in the night;
Besides they had the freely for their
useful great search. ght.
A red crossbill was there to nurse
so brave she would not faint
At sight of bloodroot-not at all
nor make the least complaint;
Outlook good care of limpets, never
once their needs forgetting;
Had bindweed for the bleeding-hearts
and boneset for bonesetting.
A band-ish played; drum-hsh
drum-fsh drummed with such a
lusty roar
He put the trumpet-fower and horn
ct back a page or more.
The larkspurs spurred horse-chest
nut steeds; the field-mice held
the field.
And not so much as one field-mouse
at sight of catnip squealed. t.
They all marked thyme with one &C
cord; their columbines were
- straight;
With blue-fags flying in the breeze
they marched at lively gait.
But after all, there was no war, but
all sweet-peasfully
1t ended, since the battles were but
shamrock ones, you see!

We're eating rye bread at our house,

A Few Facts About Lincoln.

He knew the value of merry jest
and hearty laugh.
He was simple in manner, dress
and bearing, but was big of heart and
brain.
He was too great a nature to care
one way or another about MS ances-
try The living generation was of vi
tai importance to him.
He did not advocate war for his
own glorifcation, but to liberate hui
man beingsfrom slavery. All men
were his brothers and his equals be-

YOU AND THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB.

Rear in mind, when the CONNER
cial club membership campaigners
get after you to join the club, that
thew aren't out for revenue.
The club has that. 1t hasn't pen
ny OF debt, and 1t has money in the
bank
But it wants YOU-you and your
enthusiasm and your energy and your
ideas
It is just that much short of what
it ought to be so long as it lacks your
help. You are falling down on you:
citizenship just that much so long as
you do not join and get into the fight.
If you want to help Valley City
win, if you want to have a part in
making it win, if you are loyal to the
city and want to do your share in its
good works, get into the Commercial
club and bring it that much closer to
the hundred percent efficiency 1t
seeks to achieve.
Join the Commercial club, the first
thing you do tomorrow.
