CHARGE THE LINE

Soon the balmy breezes, productive
of colds and sneezes, will dispel our
dreams of winter, deftly throw us off
our guard; soon we'll see the red
checked maiden and her brother John
ny spadin' in their Uncle Sammy gar
den and a-rakin' up the yard. These
and other signs will tempt us--and
the pipp germ won't exempt us--to
remove our fuzzy-wuzzies and our bee
veedees to don. When our last wish
has been granted, and our friends
have got us planted, we won't need our
outlined heavies, but We'll wish we'd
kept 'em on. But, however, do not
SILVER at this warning; do not culver.
Buy some goozum for your system and
prepare to charge the line. Should
you see a grip germ, swat him on the
beezer when you've got him, to the
scrap heap then consign him, and
you'll be progressing fine. List to us
there is no reason just because this
is the season when the tickle jade or
springtime stalks her prey why you
should wait. Pipe the girls in scant
apparel, needing censors or barrel;
fear they not the germs, the dear
things. Emulate them laugh at
Fate.
Looks as though the great Teutonic
blunderbuss is about to bust. And
when 1t busts, it will be the greatest
bust in the history Of the world.

CONTRIBUTED VERSE

RED CROSS
(By Rev. D. s. Ewry. Pastor M. E.
Church, New Paris, Ohio.)
oh, the good we all may do,
Lifting burdens hard to carry
In these days of toll and worry;
Through the Red Cross
You can do someone kindness
In these days of sin and blindness;
Through the Red Cross.
You can to their wants attend,
Be they enemy or friend;
Through the Red Cross.
Many hearts are cold and dreary;
Plant the flower Of love so CHEEKY,
BY your sympathy for those SO near
you;
Through the Red Cross.
Soon this flower will bud and blossom
BY the care of him who loves them;
Dew and sunshine be upon them
AS they ripen into grain;
Through the Red Cross.
Sons, husbands, lovers, they
Are standing by the right;
Must defend, protect their country,
And, alone with God, must fight.
We can help them; we can cheer
Through the Red Cross.
Do not wait until tomorrow.
Lives are tender, souls are precious.
We our bit will do, for we hope
They will see us through:
If we are only true
To the Red Cross.
Feed them now, warm them now,
clothe them now,
Lest they weary grow, and our cause
shall be defeated,
Ending with an iron rod heated by
our enemy and foe.
And our Red Cross fail to do.
Mothers, fathers hearts are sad as
they think of loved ones true
Who are standing by the right
Though it cost their lives in fight.
And they thank their God above
For his comforts and his love
Which comes to them
Through the Red Cross.
Oh, our days for work are few.
May we lend a helping hand
To our neighbors and our friends
In the sacrifice they make
That our world may be the better
And Gods name may be the greater;
Through the Red Cross.
0, let us not despond; faith in in God
will make us stronger,
If we cling to him the longer.
And determine we will do what we
can to see 1t through,
In these days of fret and wonder
Through the Red Cross.
Thank the ladies for the sweaters,
And the mitts and socks so new;
God will help them, God will bless
them,
And those boys will ne'er forget them
And the Red Cross shine the brighter
In the world beyond the skies.
Fear not, God is still upon his throne
Our aching hearts doth know,
And will bring an end to woe
On that bright and summers day
Wipe all sorrows tears away
If our bit we do today
Through the Red Cross.
