Of walnuts and Brazil nuts and of
hickory nuts as well,
And the youngsters hunt for butter

Patriot replied,
"And q carbon respirator in a gas
mask over there
Will save our boys from gas attacks.
Come on and do your share.

Of furnishing materials for carbon"

Mr.. and Mrs. Mann Back in Minot.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Mann have re-
turned from Lisbon, where they
spent several months at the Soldiers
Home. Mr.. Mann has received his
discharge from the institution and
Mrs. Mann a furlough. They both
speak we'll of the way the Home is
managed and they are enjoying the
best of health. They are living in
their bungalow on Valley street.
Mr.. Mann has been studying num-
Der Of books on geology while at the
Home and he is much interested in
the Des Laos oil project. He has also
been making a comprehensive study
of the Philosophy Of Life and says
that he has just learned that every
able bodied man is entitled to three
homogeneous. He has had but two.
We trust that Mrs. Mann doesn't have
chance to read this.
