Injun Summer In IllinOy.
You may sing about your summer
In "Georgy", IL you will,
With your purple morning glories
And your cooling whip-poor-will;
You may even have ka-nip-shun-fits
And other monkey shines
About your gorgeous flowers an
Your honeysuckle vines.
But il your souls enraptured
BY the beauties they recall
! Could only sniff the breezes
OF the prairies in the fall.
You would want to live life over
Just begin again q boy
And live, and live-forever-
In the State of "Illinoy."
Yes. we call it "Injun Summer"
With its golden. mellow rays,
That aids you in forgettin'
All the scorching summer days;
The frost has killed the 'skeeters.
And the bugs. an livin' things.
And paralyzed the voice of
Any katydid that sings.
The atmosphere is bracin',
And the sounds. from early morn
Is drowned by the rustlin'
OF the fields of yellow corn.
And oh! it seems there's nothin'
Would a human more enjoy
Than to live. and live-forever-
In the State of "Illinoy."
So. when you get to dreamin'
OF your warm and lazy cline.
Where the flowers bloom in winter
Just the same as summer time.
Don't forget to think how nature
Is contrivin' to devise
| Our grand old "Injun Summer"
With it's smoky. hazy skies;
And II you feel a longin'
For a sniff of atmosphere
To set your blood a tinglin'
And your Uranium to clear,
Then come and learn why suckers. y
Who the ozone here enjoy.
Want to live. and live-forever-
In the State of Illinoy.

races held for boys and girls, the win
ners of each race receiving cash
prizes. The races we're interrupted by
the call for dinner and after each

supplied by the many baskets, boxes
and pails. they all seated. or stood.
around the tables and listened to a
very interesting entertainment.
And since the livest people should
oe given the preference. Mrs. c. d.
Hipp, Of Des Chutes Grange, started
the program with How we caught a
mouse"
Then came Mrs. Ada j. Lewis with
the South Bay Juvenile Grange, Mrs.
Lewis asking that all the ranges get

organize a juvenile Grange.
Mrs. Guy Taylor of South Bay
Hrange asked some original riddles.

was we'll attended, and the speech by
Col. Bayliss was closely listened to.
The Colonel began by saying that he
always wanted to know OF every
man he meets just what he does
what his occupation is; however, he
did not enlighten his audience as to
what his own calling is. Though we
have understood from other sources
that he is a preacher. or used to he
He made a lengthy speech outlining
the terrible danger that faces the
people of the United States from a
revolution which he says is imminent
His eloquence stirred every man
present against anarchy and anarch-
lists. socialism and socialists, com-
munism and communists, and he in.
cluded the non-partisan league farm
ers in with those whom he denounced
in bitterest terms.
He told over in detail of the de.
pOrtatiOn of Emma Goldman whom
he characterized as IAN old hag," and
Of Alexander Berkman, the anarchist
who was deported ON the same ship
He also recounted the trial of Ave
socialists who were expelled from the
New York legislature by a Republt
can-Tammany combination over the
protest Of Teddy Roosevelt. and JUS
tice Hughes. Col. Bayliss. however
took the stand that Roosevelt and
Hughes were wrong and the social
lists should have been expelled.
He told how Victor Berger was not
allowed to speak in Jersey City. or
Boston, though he was allowed to
speak in New York City. He quoted
and endorsed Judge Lands, who SAID
that Berger should be stood w
against a wall and shot"
The speaker warned our people
that we are asleep to the impending
danger, and should awake before we,
like Russia, are in the throes of a
revolution. He advocated forcible
means Of quelling the spread of radi-
cal doctrines and declared that
Russian soviets are among us right
now"
The colonel's story was somewhat
personal being for the most part a
recital of his own experiences and
achievements in this work Of alarm
ing the people to the danger which
threatens us.

DRAFT OESERTERS
TO Be ROUNDED UP
LESS THAN 1 PER CENT OF TIKI
24,OOO.OOO REGISTRANTs ARM
SLACkERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 19.--
Considering the fact that the willing
support of the American people to
selective service was the cornerstone
Of the creation Of our great army
and our successful military achieve
ments, the war department does not
deem 1t proper to pursue the policy
of unjustifiable leniency towards
those who deliberately evaded MILL
tary service.
The creation Of the huge army
which was sent to the battlefield3
abroad was the result of the selective
service act Of May Is, 1917. p
Although critics Of American In
stitutions predicted that in the event
of great war the people Of the
United States would fail to rise to
the full heights Of patriotism and
self-sacrifice In defense Of their
country. because OF selfish motives
and foreign influences, the war has
proven that the old American spirit
of sacrifice and service il not only
alive, but more widespread than
ever before. ~
During the period Of active hos
tilities, the government was assisted
by the various oficials and agencies
in apprehending draft deserters; =
small but constant stream, OF whom
were being delivered to posts. camps
and stations: but because Of the fact
that those days were: crowded With
Other mattsrs of more trzsoftaats.
special attention could not ber given
during that time to the running
down Of the comparatively small
number Of draft deserters.
After the discontinuance on No
vember II. 1918, of mobilization and
induction under the selective service
law. the war department began at
once to consider the question Of the
proper disposition to be made Of al
those registrants classified by the
draft authorities as draft deserters,
