An the only thing bothered us in all staggn ranks
Was wot in ell ud abpen wen the uns ad at the Yanks
My word it appened sudden wen the drive ad first begun
We seed the Yanks runnin Cav Blmey ow they run =
But the only thing that bothered that seed the chase begin
Was 'ow in ell tOs stop em fore they'd get into Berlin
They didn't ave no tactics but the bloody manuel
They adnt learned orders but Ooray and give em ELL
Butt only thing that bothered about them eggy lads
Was ow in ell to get the chow feed their Kamerads"

Frank Howell, who, you will
remember nearly broke his neck
to get away from here and go to
Oregon last summer writes for
the S-A to keep coming but he
complains about all the same old
Sale Notices and terms and other
things that don't interest him,
and begs for a little News. Of
couib, news. to him is all about
crops and land sales and big
Yields and we can't reach him
and still maintain our reputation
for truth and veracity. He says
the country there is all mountains
with very small valleys where
they farm. When the timber Is
cut from the mountains there is
nothing left. Lumber IS about
the only business there. The val
leys are flooded by tide water
in the winter altho it is II miles
from the coast. If Oregon had
some Of New Mexieo's farm land
and New Mexico had a lot OF
OregOn's rainfall both would be
better off.
His experience with both re-
suits in the following statement
which we know is sincere !.
81 like this country very well
but | like N. Mexico SO much bet
ter that | can hardly wait till ]
can get back there, SO you may
look for me to blow in anytime.

farm boys from Pembina, Walsh and
Cavalier counties at the Chautauqua
Auditorium at Walhalla on Friday
evening, July 18th at half past eight
o'clock will attract q record breaking
crowd. Nearly two houndred
characters including thirty musicians
and a chorus of fifty voices will
make the festival one worth coming
miles to see. Several historical in
cidents of local interest will be in
troduced in the narrative to make the
event educational as we'll as enter
tanning in every respect. The scene
of the story of "The Ingathering"
is laid in the Garden of Freedom

cealed. Mother Earth is escorted
through a field of golden grain. in the
Garden. Here she stops and tells her
escort that the Holy Earth has a soul
and that through the ages her friends
have been Story, Art and Some and
that the elements of Nature when
the Seasons were made selected
Autumn as the most beautiful of all.
The Spirit of Autumn arrayed in
all the colors is characteristic of that
Season moves about the field with
graceful rhythm. Story then comes
running through the field into the
Garden of Freedom and tells Mother
Earth that her children representing
many different races are coming in
search of the Altar of Liberty. They
enter the field talking though they
do not understand each other. Thay
babble. AS they approach the garden
she halts them asks them to be seated
and gives Story a basket of bread
that they may have food to eat.
Mother Earth realizes that when peo-
pie break bread with each other they
not only understand each other bet
ter but they also exemplify the
noblest virtues of mankind, sacrifice
and charity. Story then tells Mother
Earth that these children who have
settled in this particular section of
America owe much the pioneers who
paved the way. Story then intro
duces several of the early settlers
after which Art to the GARDEN
and suggests that these races play
together. Art teaches them many
games and frolics with them. In the
distance Song is heard. She enter.
and succeeds in getting all these
aces singing together. Mother Earth
beckons Story, Art and Song to bring
all these people to the Garden OF
Freedom. They come and kneel with
hands outstret ched. For a momen'
darkness reigns. Story, Art, Song
what these Children for gen
erations have been praying. Ligh'
again appears and before their eye
the Altar Of Liberty is seen in thu
