HELP


have sad story Pm going to relate
To my friends, my neighbors and
you,
Though Pm at loss for the language
TO state
The exact condition that's true.
I'm in such plight for help OH the
farm,
The fence Is all down but the gate.
The woodpile is small and view with
alarm
The last chunk of Goals in the CRATE
The hogs are all squealing, with
throats that are sore,
The creamery will think that its
bilked,
The hens want feed and they'll lay
never more,
It's cinch that the cows should
be MIXED.
The hay is all ready to haul to the
stack.
The grain is all ready to bind,
Do you think those soldiers will ever
come back
To help on the farms steady grind ?
SO send me a man who is sturdy and
strong.
Preferred, if he is weak in the head,
I'll pay him good coin, and I'll sing
him a song;
When tired | will put him to bed.
And | never will ask him to wait for
his pay
Or have him get up before dawn;
1t may be that he is too proud to pitch
hay.
But then he could help NOW the
lawn.

CURRENT COMMENT.

THE spirit displayed at the meet
ing OF the water users Of the
Emmett Irrigation District bodies good
for the future Time was when such
q meeting meant a scrap, when aeeusa-
tions and denuDeiations were flung
broadcast and faction was arrayed
against faction. The good of the
district was lost sight Of in the ant
mosities engendered. The determine
ton TO forget the past and plan and
build for the future is the most i'm
portart step in the proposed reorgani-
zatIon snnd rehabilitation Of district.
Great obstacles are yet to be overcome
in putting the affairs Of the district
on . satisfactory basis. The courage
and acumen Of every land owner un-
der the Canyon canal system Will be
tested to the utmost degree In the
reconstruction work needed. The
work Is matter Of joint effort on the
part OF the water users and those ehos
en- to direct They must work together
hand in hand, and an irrigation sys-
tenn in which uncertainty will be re-
dueed 10 the minimum will be the re-
suit OF their striving. There is a
huge task ready to the hand OF every
one, but with the cooperation of those
serving and those served there can
be no doubt Of the result

AFTER PAINLESS
WARFARE

It does seem only too American
that when Y. M. G. A. workers and
methods in France got to be cussed,
by a considerable portion of the A.
E. F., all civilian America should
join in and air long submerged an
tagonisms for the whole Y. M. c. A.
system, based on religion and every
other thing.
Nowhere but in America perhaps
would a purely altruistic organiza-
ton come in for nothing but blame
after having just pulled off a great
big charitable work for an army of
four million men.
Soldiers never did have objections
to the presence of "Y" huts, reading
matter, and sweets for a price. They
are sore over administrative details.
A number of "Y' secretaries were
indeed unfortunately called to the
red triangle.
From where we sit 1t seems EVIL
dent that charity is one business that
can be 'overadvertised. Everybody
expected the Y. M C. A. to remove
the sting from war-and It couldn't
be done.-F. O. X.
