Now that the big rally is over,
and pronounced by all a huge sue
cess. this does not end the work
by any means. In fact, the real
work is just beginning. IL is to be
hoped that Director Wilmeth can
boastfully say Saturday night, when
he starts on his speaking tour in
behalf of the drive. that his bureau
is already over the top.
The machine shop is showing won
derfuI progress under the careful
canVassinE of Edward Leahy. who
reports $500 already raised. 1t
has passed its quota and is still GO
ing. In connection with this work
Mr.. Leahy has composed a few lines
of poetry that seems to fill the bill:
BUY A BOND. BUY A BOND.
Let your patriotic spirit now re-
spond,
'Tis your patriotic dollars buys the
bond.
And don't you kick and moan
When your Uncle asks a loan.
For to bring his boys away across
the pond.
He needs every dollar you can
spare
For to bring his boys away from
over there
There was fighting TO be done.
And the battle they have won:
Now it's up TO you to dig and pay
their fare.
Your country is standing back Of
YOU,
And your flag of the rcd. white and
blue;
With your country as a hacker.
Arc you going to be a Stacker?
You will never If you're patriotic
true.
So put down your dollar. for If
made the Kaiser hoIler.
Every dollar was a bullet in his
crown;
For you often heard them say they
would never come away
Till they reached that Berlin town.
