You buy your ticket almost any

Of course, Mr.. Editor, such an
ad is not necessary, for the draft
lodging variety OF two-legged NANCY
cattle can always find a dame be-
hind whose skirt he can sneak in
his cowardly efforts to shirk his
duty to Old Glory.
If the High Priest of the Ever
lasting Bonfire were to decide to
take an inventory of the goods on
hand, and were to go through ev-
cry nook and corner of Perdition
with a search warrant, he would
find nothing more worthy of the
unspeakable contempt of angels,
men and devils than that cowardly
purp-that caricature of humanity
the draft-dodging Stacker. If I were
a woman I would live and die an
old maid before I would marry such
a sorry imitation of a man.
The very thought of such a thing
as a draft-dodger is enough to make
one long for a ton Of skunk essence
with which to sweeten his imagi-
nation. Before 1 would hide behind
a woman's skirt to escape my duty
to the Flag that protects me I
would change my humanity for that
of a baboon and go on all tours.
I could not enlist in any branch
of the service during the World
War because of the age limit, but
I did my bit in a %guncotton plant
at Hopewell, Va, and when off duty
sold Liberty Bonds. I am only a
little more than seventy years old,
able and willing and ready to go
al time, anywhere good Uncle Sam
may need me, and I have already
offered my services as an ambu-
lance driver and will gladly go if
necessary.
