Rocked by the crash Of bursting SHE'LL
Sheathed in mud and bulet-scared,
They plunged through the nigh-mists poughing hard
Fighting to win, and each iron heart
Was full of vigor that tore apart
The enemy lines. and flung them far.
A toast to the gas cars Of the war!

She cooked the meals kept house and lost the

For years the irate father could not see It
that way-n fact, could not the son-in-Iaw when
they met on the street But in that time the printer
and his wife were making good in business And
when the estranged parent became candidate for
office, the sighted son-n-law swung the paper to
the support of the obdurate old man, who asked on
favor but whom the future senator from the first
forgave for sustained sights.
History will call the future president "a self made
man." But that will be but half the truth.
