The LAZY MAN Cd

The soldier is a lazy man.,
q Who hikes or drills all day,
Policies up the company street
And has no time for play.
He fumbles out at half-rast five
And shiverS in the street
Until his daily grind begins,
Which lasts until Retreat.
His breakfast served at 6 a. m.
He swallows without chewing
And then he falls out for Fatigue,
There's something always do
ing.
He drills from eight until Recall,
Which sounds at 'leven-thirty,
Then comes back into the camp
All thirsty, tired and dirty.
Then dinner comes, Fall out fol
mess,
The duty sergeant shouts it,
And roll your packs and shine
your shoes
And dent be long about it.
So, hnrry up, fatigue at once,
Then hurry for drill once more,
Squads light and left and march
around,
Until bout half-paSt four.
When supper mess is gobbled
down
You fall out for Retreat.
The day is gone but you must
froWn
From tired and aching feet;
You have time to wash your
clothes,
You do net give a damn.
The soldier is the man that
knows
The soldiers no lazy man.

partmcnt, ready for return TO the
owner upon proof of ownership.
The safe was found in a vacant
lot by group of boys Sunday
afternoon. The boys hauled it TO
garage in the rear of a home ut
2409l Wagner and called po-
lice.
Five "huskies' from the de-
partment responded, including
Police Commissioners Vernon
LumcX, and they finally man
aged to lift the safe on a truck
and cart it away. SO far efforts
to locate the owner have failed.
The safe was empty.
