The young men whose pockets
are filled with cigarette wrappers,
mustache combs, finger nail clean
ers, miniture curling irons, look
ing glass, etc., and have their
mothers crease their pants every
day, are not the ones who will
make promising husbands. The
pockets of those who are helping
to make the country bloom and
causing two blades of grass to grow
where God planted but one, will be
found filled with barbed wire
staples, and different sizes of nails
and screws. They are the boys
the girls had better look after.

THE REAR GUARD
The guns are hushed. On every field once flowing
With War’s red flood May’s breath of peace is sheo,
And Spring’s young grass and gracious flowers are growing
Above the dead.
Ye gray old men whom we this day are greeting,
Honor to you, honor and love and trust;
Brave to the brave ! Your soldier hands are meeting
Across their dust.
Bravely they fought who charged when flags were flying,
In cannon’s crash, in screech and scream of shell;
Bravely they fell who lay alone and dying
In battle’s hell.
Honor to them! For graves today are flying
Up through the soil peace blooms to meet the sun,
And daisied heads to summer winds are singing
Their long well done.
Our van-guard they, They went hot blood flushing
At battle’s din, at joy of bugle’s call.
They fell with smiles, the flood of young life gushing,
Full brave the fall.
But braver ye, who, when the war was ended,
And bugle’s call and wave of flag were done,
Gould come back home, so long left undefeated,
Your cause unwon,
And twist the useless sword to hook of reaping,
Rebuild the homes, set back the empty chair,
And brave a land where want and waste were keeping
Guard everywhere.
All this you did, your courage strong upon you,
And out of ashes, wreck, a new land rose.
Through years of war no braver battle won you
’Gainst fiercer foes.
And now today a prospered land is cheering
And lifting up her voice in lusty pride
For you, gray men, who fought and wrought, not fearing
Battle’s red tide.
Our rear guard ye, whose step is slowing, slowing,
Whose ranks, earth-thinned, are filling other—where,
Who wore the gray—the gray alas stilt showing
On bleaching hair.
For forty years you’ve watched this land grow stronger,
For forty years you’ve been its bulwark, stay;
Tarry awhile, pause yet a little longer
Upon the way,
And set our feet where there may be no turning,
And set our faces straight on duty’s track,
Where there maybe for stray, strange gods no yearning
Nor looking back.
And when for you the last tattoo has sounded,
And on death’s silent field you’ve pitched your tent,
When bowed through tears, the arc of life has rounded
To full conteut,
We that are left will count it guerdon royal,
Our heritage no years can take away,
That we were born of those, unflinching, loyal,
Who wore the gray.

The slang words are still being
coined. Young men are never
known by their own names and it
is quite common to say now, if one
fall and breaks some ribs, to call
them “broken slats.”

NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material and
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in chauges of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
unvaluable. I have found that 1
am banking on good health and
good business ability, honesty and
good luck of a great many people
who’s account I carry on my book
and you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
in my business.
I find that many times it cost
me more time and expense to col
lect acc’ts as to do the work. So I
adopted the plan of doing a cash
business, which will be an advant
age to my customers as well as my
self. I ask the continuance of
your patronage as well as to share
the benefit of doing business on a
cash basis. Thanking you for
your past favors, I am,
Yours Truly,
Tom Burkett.

Volo
If you have a machine it may have been fairly
satisfactory in the past, but when you see the Vol®
and the kind of work it does you will be satisfied
with nothing else. The very finest material has been
used throughout its entire construction. Every adjust*
ment is perfect and it has roller-bearings which
make it noiseless and light running, fast sewing and
capable of doing either the most delicate or heaviest
work in the most satisfactory manner. Its arm is
higher than that on any other family sewing
machine in the world. This enables one to easily
sew quilts and goods of considerable bulk. Call and
examine our new stock. We shall be glad to explain
every point in detail.
