ASHXAYT) TIDINGS
But It seems to be
A war
Necessity.
Just Imagine
Sixty Honor Guard Girls
Times
One hundred militiamen
Equals
Six thousand kisses.
Do you blame us?
Heard and Overheard
(By Lynn D. Mowat.)
We view with alarm
The tendency
Evidenced by
The Girls' Honor Guards
Coal and -Suit Sale
American
Lady Corsets
Gossard Front
Lace Corsets
Throughout the
State
Toward Indiscriminate
Kissing of
Departing recruits.
'
The War Department
Allows married men.
To belong to
The Coast Artillery
Only If
'
Their wives
Are willing,
And unless the
Honor Guard calls off
This kissing
The First company
Will lose
Lieutenant Spencer
And Sergeant Detbert
And Sergeant Butterfleld
And Sergeant Porter
And Corporal Grubb
And Corporal MoNalr
And probably
Several others
1 i
Who have wives.
We don't know about
When the tlmo comes
i 1
i
For departure j
And the attendant marks
Of affection from
The Honor Guard.
The only avenue
Of escape
Is to grow
Mustaches
Like Howard Barrett's Is
And mine
Is going to be
When It gets
Its growth.
We dislike
Mustaches.

ments for less money. Every garment would sell readi
ly enough at regular prices, perhaps, but for suits and

left out of the state highway pro
gram and would receive no direct
benefits sho'ulld the road bonds carry.

to obey the law in regard to calling:
the election and should tliey disre
gard it, tho governor will take the
