OUR DOUCHBOY
IN FRANCE

Yes, he grumbles sometime-and
who shall blame him? He has often
had to march in the mud and sleep on
the ground and eat bully beef" on;
Of tin can. You never tried all that,
did you?
And he swears, sure enough; isn't
that the privilege Of solder? Don't
you remember Shakespeare's soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded
like a pard".
and how two hundred years ago the
British army "swore terribly in Elan
ders'? But the doughbcy's swearing
is what the French call a "manner of
speaking. He uses the words as an
emphasis, without much sense of
their original meaning.
Yes, he is quick-tempered too, and
we will thank God for it. Remem-
Der how the inspiration of righteous
anger Joined with spiritual trust in
his cause sent him over the top like a
flame Of fire at Cantigny, at Scissors,
at Verdun, to work vengence on the
cruel of this world and protect the
weak.
For the rest, our doughboy is a
clean young fellow. He does not
drink-the army regulations see to
that and protect him also from other
forms Of vice. He is generous and
kind to fault, and possesses keen
sense of humor, with very little use
for hypocrisy in any form and
strong belief in all manly virtues.
Whether marching through France
or Belgium or Germany, fighting in
the SHOWS of Russia or escortine loads
of flour into Vienna, he has an abid-
ing faith in the good old United Stat
es and a love for home and mother.
We can all take pride in this mod
est young soldier and trust him to
carry on the best traditions of our
country.

the death Of Mr.. Joe McQuerry and
little baby, which occurred at their
home on the Sugar Creek pike.
Mr.. McQuerry and the little one

will be greatly missed, not only by his
devoted family, but by his neighbors
and friends as well.
He leaves to mourn his untimely
end, a wife and four children, and
his aged parents, three brothers and
four sisters.
His remains were laid to rest in the
Mt. Hebron cemetery last Wednes-

The bereaved ones have the SYM
patty of their many friends and
neighbors in this their dark hour.

A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed"

LOYALTY'S
LAST LEGS,

American loyalty stood the test Of
the world war most nobly. Never
for an instant was there faltering oil
hanging back.
Always loyalty stepped into the
breach; met every demand.
And now that the victory is won
that triumph and honor is ours, let u:
trust that loyalty is not on its last
legs.
We don't believe, we cannot be.
lieve that this is so.
For Americans have been patriots
since the battle of Lexington, Never
have they turned their backs upon the
enemy, upon their sacred obligations.
It's too late to begin now.
Uncle Sam shortly will ask us to
lend him another $4,000, 900, 900 that
he may appropriately finish the big
job he took in hand after the sinking
Of the Lusitania. The job that in
sured democracy, freedom and liberty
for the world.
The job that meant perpetuity for
American institutions, stability for
American government, immunity
from German tribute, safety for
American womankind. and protec-
ton against Hun invasion.
If loyalty ever faltered. ever hest
tated. ever questioned, certainly it
must react to this demand.
For after all it is only a matter of
dollars.
And dollars. in America, are its
cheapest commodity.
Fifty thousand American lives
were sacrificed in France. Half a
million would have paid the price had
the war gone on another six months.
Compared to this what is $1,000
900. 900?
Nothing calculated to stagger
American loyalty.
Nor will it.
Americans will run true to form.
They will come through!
