YOUR BIRTHDAY

(Jack Garrett-Killed at St. Mihiel.
 Sept. 15, 191S) Today is your God-given birthday Oh, bright, brave boy of mine And have missed the clasp of hands Of my empty hands and thine; And have missed your lips caress That you loving gave to me, And more than all your glad young
 voice,
 Why must such sorrow be? You need not now the desert flowers. You loved their colors gay You breathe not of their sweet per-
 fume
 For you sleep far away. The year just past has brought to you, A hero's death, and I Alone must face the sunset gray Dear God, I question, why?
 Mrs. M. P. Chapman. April 18th, 1919.

PARIS ENVOYS SEND MESSAGE
 TOAD DRIVE
U. S Delegates Urge Country Not to Leave Task
 Uncompleted

Four members of the American peace mission in France, Secretary of State Robert Lansing, Col. E. M. House. General Tasker N. Bliss and Henry White, have sent this message to the American people urging support of the Victory Loan:
 ITO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: We have had the opportunity here Tn France to see and realize the mag nitude of the accomplishment of our country in this war and the magnificent spirit with which this great task has been carried through to a triumphant issue.
 What has been done and what re. mains to be done before normal con. ditions are restored demand your con. unued and united support with the same spirit of self sacrifice and of de- termination as that which was mani- tested by the nation while the German armies faced our men at the Marne. and in the Champagne, at St. Mihiel and in the Argonne. We must not re. iax our efforts until every soldier of the republic is landed on the soil of America.
 To finish this mighty task imposes upon the government of the United states great financial burden. The Victory Liberty Loan must thrive. If should fail 1t would indicate that the Nation Is willing to leave it's task un- completed.
 To secure the ideals for which Americans fought and died this great lemand on national patriotism and 'nited effort should meet a generous na universal response. Let us do our uty to the end. l.
 ROBERT LANSING.
