Forget Yourself
(Henry Polk Lowenstein)
Forget yourself and be a man,
And do for country all We can
In time Of need and deep distress;
Stand UP and work and ne'er confess
You are q laggard in the van.
Throw out your line the world to span.
The good Of all to be your plan;
With heart and mind Of nobleness,
Forget yourself.
Now come and join the caravan.
With arms Of Drawn and face Of tan,
And all together onward press,
And leave to God to Judge and bless
Alike each true American.
Forget yourself.

on Wednesday, picked bunch of
mayf1oWers in the woods. There were
hundreds of birds and if Jack Frost

weather this month, following the
abundant rains during the first three
weeks of September caused the trail
ing arbutus to believe spring had ar
rived. The fields are as green as in
June. There are so many leaves on
the trees that it is impossible to sue
cessfully hunt cartridges. People in
the city are still moving their lawns.
Gardeners are picking ripe straw
berries.
After the fifth robbery of her store,

business man wanted mailing tube
in which to roll document to be sent
away. Failing to find one in his owr
office. or at any Of the stores which
handle office supplies, he called upon
one Of his neighbors to help him out
The neighbor after a little searching
produced. what he supposed was an
empty tube and gave it to the caller
When the latter attempted to place
his manuscript in the tube the paper
forced out a slip of paper which upon
an examination proved to be check
for s2s4O which was drawn and
signed eight years ago.
