ECKER & CURRIE, Publishers
I believe in the United States of America as a govern
ment of the people, by the people, for the people; whose
just pow ers are derived from the consent of the governed;
a democracy in a republic; a soveriegn Nation of many
soveriegn states; a perfect union, one and inseparable;
established upon those principles of freedom, equality,
justice and humanity for which American patriots sacri
ficed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love
it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect
its flag and to defend it against all enemies.
— William Tyler Page.

POOR Me AD 00*
»V,
Poor Mr. McAdoo!
Think of the jobs lie’s hitched up to
The Treasury, the railroad crew,
The income tax, and then a few.
Each week they hand him something new
To tax his time and temper, too.
He has to know when loans are due,
What source to get his billions through,
What fund to pass each dollar to,
Which tax is what, and who is who;
What bonds to sell and what renew,
Which “ trust” to coax and which to sue.
He stretches each day to two
To do the things he has to do.
The job would flounder me or you,
But i t ’s a cinch for McAdoo!

A farmer, whose son had failed to pass the civil service

do now. “ 1 dunno,” replied the father, “ I reckon he’ll
have to go back to teaching school.”

THE R H Y M IN G SUM M ARIST *
The kaiser with his withered arm,
The cruel and Hunnish boss,
Wherever he may travel,
He always wears a cross;
Whether it ’s made.of iron or gold,
You can bet your tooting,
It will be the spot
For many shot
When Yankee lads are shooting.
Whoever wants to leave this vale of tears»
And hi’ buried on the hill,
Can speed the funeral very much
If lie shouts for Kaiser Bill;
If the devil ever throws up his job
And a successor someone’s seeking,
W e ’ll say get Bill
The place to fill,
He tits a job that’s reeking.
Then Wilhelm has a royal son,
For short we call him “ Buddy,”
He has a worser record than his sire
His heart and hands are bloody;
He sure will get all of his
For he has it coming,
H e’ll get wrapped
And also trapped
When Yankee boys are scumming.

The Old Farm’s For Sale
Years and years ago the old farm
—which wasn’t old then—became
the home of a certain couple. A
family was brought up on the farm
sveral boys and girls. The girls
have married; the sons have farms
of their own in other sections of
the country—all except one, the
youngest.
He is in the army.
That's why the old farm is for sale.
There is no one left to operate it,
and some of the children want their
portion of the estate; even before
mother or father or father passes
away. So the old farm is for sale.
It will he sold to a stranger. For
a few years it will lie known by the
name of the people who own it now.
Then, gradually, the name will give
way to the name of the new owner
and the last trace of the old fam
ily will have disappeared from the
leighborhood. The war only hast
ened the sale of the old farm, for
the younger hoy would soon have
left anyway. But, came the war,
and the old farm's for sale.
But He Hasn't Yet.

Wilson is going to be in a great hur

communications with the phrase,
