NOTES AND COMMENTS
The Kid Has Gone to The Colors
The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don’ t know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child, a baby,
With never a care at all.
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call.

We have everything with which to build.
We bought last fall and we are selling
cheap. You will be building a house, barn,
silo, auto house or an up-to-date chicken
house, and the first comers are going to get
the best prices, because we can’ t buy now
for the prices at which we are selling.
Our lumber is all dry and we have the best-
kept stock in Washington county.

The Kid, not being a slacker.
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name to the roster—
And God, w e’re proud o f the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he’s a man, a soldier.
And we lend him a listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse o f fear.
