C'EST LA GUERRE

There was a man in our town
And he was wond'rous wise:
He batted some three hundred odd,
And he was there for size;
He weighed a hundred eighty five,
With not an ounce of fat;
This wise boy joined the Q. NJ. Corps
Now whaddaya think of that?
There was another man in town
Who never earned a cent,
For Mother bought the cigarettes
And Father paid the rent.
He was as thin as CampbelIs soup,
Could hardly lift his hat;
They picked him for the Infantry
Now whaddaya think of that?
But after six months office work,
The Samson gay fell off;
His collar stood out from his neck
And he began to cough;
He swung pen from morn till night
And right from where he sat
Dragged heavy letters cross his deck
Now whaddaya thing of that?
They put the light boy in a camp
And fed him up sIum,
Till he became human being
And learned to cuss, by gum,
The big gink's in a hospital,
And down and out and fat;
The doughboys got the Qua dee Care
Now whaddaya think Of that?

CAMOUFLACE

They tell US tales Of camouf1age,
The art of hiding things;
OF painted forts and powered guns
invisible to wings.
Well it's nothing new to US,
To us, the rank and file:
We understand this camoufaEe z2.
We left home with a smile
We saw the painted battleships
And earthen- colored trains
And planes the hue of leaden skies
And canvas-hidden. lanes.
Well, we used the magic art
That day of anxious fears
We understand this camoufiage
We laughed away your tears
They say that scientific men
And artists of renown
Debated long on camoufage
Before. they got it down.
Well it came right off to US,
We didn't have to learn;
We understand this camouflage
We said we'd soon return.
We understand this camounasa,
This art Of hiding things
It's what's behind a soldiers jokes
And all the songs he sings.
Yes, it's nothing new to us,
To US, the rank and file;
We understand this camoufage 1r
We left home with d smile. e.

FORMER PLAINS cOWMAN
MOVES TO MICHIGAN

C.. A. WATSON, Of Ochiltree, Texas,
but for many years a ranchman on
the South Plains, was here one day
this week, attending 10 business mat
ters, and visiting with acquaintance.
Mr.. WATSON Is an old timer on the
plains having been here about
twenty-five years, most Of the time
in the COW business.
He has recently returned from
Michigan where he has made a deal
for a ranch. This country which
many men from the San Angelo coun-
try have recently moved to, is an old
forest where the timber has been
cleared for several year and grass
has covered the ground TO such an
extent that the cattlemen who return
from there think that Il is a stock
mans paradise This land can be
bought on easy terms, Mr.. WATSON
says, and arrangement can be made
without paying down any money the
first three years, and If after one
year you decide the country does
not please. you can give il up, with
free pasturage the first year. Mr..
WATSON will move there in few
weeks to make his home, or rather
try il out.

PUBLIC HEALTH


Sleeping sickness has taken is
place as the latest sccurge in health
matters. This peculiar disease seems
to be sleeping from which fc pa
tient is unable TO arouse himself. and
has baffled many physicians through
out the land. A symposium Of lead
ing Chicago physicians TO discuss
sleeping sickness or encephalitis,
came 10 the conclusion that the pa
tient is not asleep, but is suffering
from form Of paralysis. The mind
is alert. the patient can speak. One
or two, upon recovery, the physicians
said. complained Of insomnia. Of be-
ing unable to sleep during the time
in which they had every appearance
Of sleeping. "The face" one physi-
clan said, presents a deathlike APP
pearance; is veritable mask, in
fact. Underneath this mask the pa
tient really is nervous and irritable, -
There is less cell destruction in the
brain than in infantile paralysis
Remorrhages are more common. and
blurred vision is frequently the first
symptom. The blurred vision is sup
posed to be induced by internal hem
orrhages, and autopsies have shown
these hemorrhages to be frequent.

French Naval Base
At Fiune Is Closed;'
Troops Leave at Once

PARIS, Oct. 2.-It is announced the
French naval base at Fiume has been
closed and that the last French sol
diers and sailors will leave that port
on board the cruiser Condorcet to-
day.
The situation in Hungary, upon
which depends the negotia ton of a
peace with that country is much
overshadowed by the Fiume compli-
cations since the Italians are quit
patiently unwilling to take any &C
ton which might be offensive to
Rumania and a large portion of
French officialdom apparently is sup
porting the Italians IN this inaction
AS result the British and American
members of the supreme council are

FRENCHCOUNT IS
FLEECED OF $500,
HE TELLS POLICE

Count Max Fireman, French
nobleman and a member of the ia
nous Rothchild family, wooed the
goddess of chance of Monte Carlo
and was fairly successful in his OPP
erations, but in Atlanta he acquired
additional experience at the cost OF
approximately $500, according to his
statement to the police on Thursday.
Count Fireman, who is something
of a globe-trotter and free lance,
claims to have been swindled out of
that sum by means of marked cards
and crooked dice, said implements be-
ing used expertly by three men whose
identity is not known to the au-
thorities.
AS a result of the counts COM
plant t othe police, L. B. Warren,
who gave his address as Birmingham,
Ala, was placed under arrest, but
was later released on a cash bond of
500. Two other men for whom the
police are searching are believed to
have left Atlanta for parts unknown.
The alleged swindle took place in
a local hotel, according to Count
Fireman, and when the officers went
to Warren's room, they say they
found several decks of marked cards,
crooked dice and drills for boring the
little cubes.
