SOME SERVICE
By S. E. KISER

Here the place where worked before they told I'd have
I'd climbed along to pretty fair job-it made difference
though;
They needed me-or the nation dd-and they didn't make
excuse.
"Come on they sad and We'll show where you will be
Of the greatest use"
So they sized up khaki suit and showed the bunk
drew
And they taught hate the German brute which wasn't
so hard to do.
And they hung beautiful service flag up here where
worked before;
I've been told that there amt job left open for
more!
wish that could have wave-t must been mighty
fine;
There's many boy who in his grave whose star
there with mine
They hung high the outer wall wonderful thing to see
And because went when got my call they sewed star
for mel
took my chance as the others did, and wasn't holiday
hell to pay
I've heard;
1t to show how loyal they were how deeply their
hearts stirred.
Their cheers loud when left the town. acknowledge
that was thrilled
But the is done and the flag is down. and they tell
my job is flled
I'm sorry their glorious service flag longer will be dis
played;
What lot of meaning must of had for the heroes who
it made!
They put star the thing for wasn't that noble
too?
At present there doesn't appear be much left for to
do;
I've walked the town till my feet Tn lonely and sick
and broke
And guess star fallen star-and their service flag
was joke!

The Dog Catcher

The burly, bristle-haired man led
dozen or more dogs, chained to-
gether, along the alley leading from
the pound Over his rounded
shoulders he carried a sporting rifle,
but the dogs playfully Juggling at
the leash, did not know that they
were doomed to death Mayhap
some of them thought, if dogs
think, of the days when they sported
in the open fields in quest of grouse
and quail, and sensed in the air the
fragrance of browning fields and
the lair of easily startled birds. The
man trudged along He swore at
the dogs, and when a ragged urchin
ran alongside of hinl-he swore at
the boy.
wat yo' goin' t do with the
dogs, mister!" The little freckled
face looked up into the beady eyes
of the man.
Coin to kill 'en1, of course"
But that's my dog yo' got there
the one with the laughin' face"
The ratty eyes avoided the little
face upturned in silent duplication,
"W'ut the hell do | care if he is
your dog? I'm going to cl,isel a
hole of daylight clean through him
i'll a minnit."
Jaw, please, mister, give i'm back
t me. He amt done noth;n'-
nothin'-but love me-" A great
tear trlckled a zigzagging course
down the boys whitening cheek.
His lips quivered as he noticed the
mans increasing speed. Just ahead

Baron Munich blew in this week and
offered to take this writing job off
My hands. | met the baron in
Paris over 10 years ago. He claims
to be a direct decendent of the far
famed Baron Munchausen. The war
chased him out of Europe. He is a
nut pure and simple. He is the
instigator of the civilian adoption
OF the over-there hat He wants to
stay in Omaha Here is his first
etfusion:
Dear Omaha: NJ Powell has
kindly consented to give me little
publicity by opening up this page to
me- He has been telling me of the
Baron de Orgler and his dream
girl. Strange, is it not, but |, too,
have dream girl. Years ago i'll the
Latin Quarter Nj. Powell told me of
this great burg and later sent me a
picture of your detention home.
Ever since Omaha has been the girl
OF my dreams. She is my DREAM
girl. | hope while here to meet
your Burgomaster Smith, and visit
your hotel-de-ville. study your coll
stabulary and tramway system and
life in general, ultimately to make
report to my home government,
which is now i'll sad turmoil.
Your Arbor Day interests me
infinitely. A noble purpose. but
why not outburbank Burbank!
Graft! That is the word OF today.
I myself personally grated the
limb of five year old tree onto that
which was but one year old, thus
making it compositely three year
sid tree and able to bear fruit. |
I'm also at present working on a
,ystem Of grating the potato plant
onto a grape vine, thus making it
much more accessible for plucking.
| am also working to evolve wal
nut into a shape approximating the
olive with the she'll on the inside.
Truly, nature, with assistance, is
wonderful.

member of the Omaha Live Stock
exchange recently during a banquet.
DO you really believe that?"
questioned his friend.
Il most certainly do" replied the
member with the utmost conviction.
The war has proven this beyond
even the shadow of doubt. Take,
for instance, the case of captain,
who single handed attacked and de-
feated seven Hun planes, sending a
greater number of them crashing
down to earth. Then he landed in

There are innumerable cases of

pute mans claim to being the bray

Yes, yes" responded his friend,
but did you ever witness an argu-
ment between a man and his wife?
Who was the first to haul up the
white flag of truce?
What man is brave enough to
wear shoes couple sizes too small

working problem that bothers a girl
these days. for any girl can make a
good living when work is so plenti-
full, but it is companionship we
crave.
IAN ADVOCATE OF THE
WORKING GIRL"
Now as to our proposition--our
part in the bargain. This is what
we pledge in all seriousness to do:
IF the writer of this letter Tor any
other girl who feels the same), will
write us giving full name and adj
dress we promise to do all we can
and that means a great deal-to
see that she meets the right kind of
man under proper circumstances.
Names and addresses will. of course,
be held in strict confidence and the.
meeting will be arranged in such
manner that the gentleman in ques-
ton will not know.
Remember that last promise. It
can be done and not a soul will
know your secret except the editor
of this page. He won't even tell his
wife. The only reason we insist
upon having your correct name and
address is that we do not care to
be victinized by adventuresses or
other unworthy women.

Metropolitan Page Editor
Willing to Help Eliminate
Bachelors and Pretty Maids
Idea of advocate Of the Working GirlS Urging Meet
ing of Bachelors and Worthy Girls Results In Plan
To Bring Soul Mates Together-Wholl Be First?

The editor Of this-the metropoli-
tan page--seldom has an idea, but
this girls letter has certainly given
him one. She says she thinks tive
are to continue publishing all these
nice looking bachelors" we certainly
should devise some means by which
eligible girls" could meet them.
And we think she is right-abso-
lutely right. But read the letter
and then we will tell you what we
propose to do to make her sugges
ton reality. Here's the letter:
"Why print the pictures and in
teresting data of Omaha's eligible
bachelors. unless devising some
means whereby the interested fair
sex may meet them?
There are hundreds of nice. edu-
Gated girls in Omaha whose stand
ards are above cheap flirtations. but
who would appreciate nice gentle
men friends.
MANY say that the girl who en-
tiers the business world loses her at
tractiveness 1t may make her more
affable. which might be mistaken for
boldness.
MANY of us are engaged in work
in which we do not meet gentlemen.
These are the girls who appreciate
gentlemen company at recreation
hours. Assoeiating only with ones
own sexis not good for any of us,
but what are the eligible maids to
do in lonely city?
Most of us have left good homes
in small towns because it was neces-
sary to make ones own living, and
the city afforded greater opportuni-
ties.
IF we only had some way OF
proving that we are the sincere,
