he has developed and managed one
Of the most popular and efficient

more ways than In any other place
known to me. AS a man he Is level
headed. energetic, systematic. devot-
ed and reliable, am glad to have
had the privilege OF working with
him."
You will. T am sure. as a friend
Of Mr.. Archer, be glad to know of
the fine work he has been doing.
We hope you will pass this inform
alton on to others and that his

THE OLD GOTH

In a little town in Southern France
There's a soldier boz who's blne.
When he looks back on his stay in
France,
And the things that he's gone thru.
We came over the seas in September
And We're eager to enter the fray,
To do our bit and help win the war
For the good old U. s. A.
But orders were slow in coming.
After we came to France.
We were billetted here and billeted
there.
And never seemed to advance.
But finally there came our order,
Twas back at Auseviile,
That we were going up to the front,
And would surely see our all.
We did our bit in the Arsopps,
And accomplished all our work.
We fought thru mud, with rats and
slime,
And nothing did we shirk.
Now We boys have bucled our Non
CONS.
And have talked OF our officers, too,
But when it comes to good. real
test,
loull lind We are all true blue. .
We have groused and talked and
had our quarrels,
And have also been happy and gay,
But now that the strife Is ended
Wen all see happy day.
For we are on the homewaTd lap,
And we're going back with u smile.
And twill be only a few months
more,
When Wen laugh at that last LONG
mile.
And Wen make pledge, and keep
il, too.
No matter what comes between,
The G0Ith has the finest men,
Old France has ever seen.
