MONEY OR LIVES.

Better to Pay In Dollars Than In Liver
of Our Youths.
Which would you prefer the United
States to spend-billions in money Oh
the lives of 100000 good young Ameri
cans?
War and navy officials knew what
your answer would be and they acted
accordingly. They poured out money
by the billions to end the war as
soon as it was possible to do SO.
The result was the signing Of the
armistice months before experts be.
lieved Germany could have been beat.

pile up shells and artillery and gas
and ships and clothing but our deter
mined efforts showed Germany We
meant business.
Army experts say that had the war
gone into the terrible spring offensive
that the world dreaded, at least 100000
more Americans would have been
slaughtered. Perhaps your boy or
your husband or your brother would
have been on hat awful roll of death.

you to support the Victory Liberty

for regular Language work.
Hail to our merry Queen Of May!
Decked in blossoms gay
She's happy all the livelong day,
Her showers make all flowers sway.
Her sunshine makes all gay,
Hail to our merry Queen of May.
Each flowers shines in the dew,
Lilies white and violets blue.
And(now the winter is over,
The bees will come back to the clover
All the green trees sway in the
breeze.
Now it is picnic time,
And the poet makes his rhyme.
Now that the warm days have come
We can hear the bees hum.
Now the buds will begin to grow,
That have been waiting under the
snow.
The following was written by
Vernon Hansen, also ten years old:
Bright little, gay little fairies are we.
Dancing on hillside and meadow and
lea.
Sitting on toadstools drinking tea.
| would like to see you, you would
like to be me,
Bright little, gay little fairies are we.
Bright little, gay little fairies are we
And as we laugh we say "tee hee."
When the winter is over We play in
clover,
We are very small, you arevery tall,
Your seats are made of tree.
Bright little, gay little fairies are we.
