From Your Boy “Over There” A Texas soldier boy, now in France, wrote a letter in rhyme to an attract ive little lady who is waiting for him in that Texas town. Here it is: i FROM YOUR BOY OVER THERE. I. Darling, when I am far away, From you somewhere in France, I ask you to always think of me And pray that I may have a chance. II. To leave you, dear, was hard, The hardest thing of all, But I am no slacker, When I hear my country call. III. To be at home with you, little girl, Is happiness that is true, But I cannot see the enemy Down the old red, white and blue. IV. I used to be with you often In beautiful, happy days; But it makes me feel blue to think That we are so far away. V. Some day in the near future This great conflict will end; And this soldier boy who loves you Will come back to you again. VI. It is the duty of every girl Who is left behind To always remember the one she loves Who is on the firing line. VII. He did not want to leave you, For he is going to risk his life; He is a true American And upholds the stars and stripes. VIII. The girls here are beautiful, Most everywhere you roam; But are nothing to compare With the ones at home. IX. When the boys go marching by In step with some national hymn It thrills my heart to know That I am one of them. X. I told you when I kissed Those lips of yours so sweet That I was going to leave you, And again, we may never meet. XI. Don’t give me up, my darling, If you love me you will wait; If we don’t meet on earth again, We will meet at the Golden Gate. XII. Some girls are not so patient, Who will not wait so long, Who will go and love a slacker When her soldier boy has gone. XIII. When he goes to fight the battle For his country and for you, His thoughts are always resting On the one he thinks is true. XIV. When he returns in years to come And he finds you false, And his whole life will be resting And his happiness will be lost. XV. Don’t bear the strain, little girl; Make your love be true; Greet the boy in khaki When he comes marching back to you. XVI. Throw your aims about him, I.et .him kiss your sweet little lips; Then he will joyfully tell you All about his wonderful trips. XVII. Do not respect the slacker; They deserve not even a chance. The boys that you should honor Are the ones who have gone to France. XVIII. I will close this letter, hoping You will be mine some day; As I bid you good-by for an hour, Good-by for the day. XIX. If it is good-by for a month, He loves you as true as ever; Good-by for a year, And perhaps good-by forever. E. L. TRACY. PRESS COMMENTS A Race's Greatest Asset. A race’s greatest asset is not alone in wealth; wealth can take wings and fly away. Not alone in dressing fine; the gaudy class only strikes the vul gar eye. Education is the key by which the aroused intellect may enter all the repository of treasure and take for itself available knowledge.—The (Chi cago) Broadax. Washington Job-Holders. Demobilization of the army will go on like clock work. The real problem is the demobilization of the Washing ton job-holders. If all the safety first clerks are thrown out at once, the free soup lines that will have to be formed will reach to Spokane and last till spring.—The Cleveland Gazette. Our Future. Our future hinges on our making good—not good for Colored people— there must not be two standards, one for white, one for Black; there must be but one standard for all, and every man who courts success must measure up to that standard. Our whining, baby, dependent days are over; no longer will our shortcomings be over looked, the test of manly worth will be applied equally to all—if anything we msut be a shade the better to get equal credit. We need have no fear of what the future has in store for us if each flay we give the very best that is in us to whatever task is set before us. We have asked for an even break; it is up to us to make good.—The Chi cago Defender. — LA GRANGE. TEXAS. H. L.

Washington, I). C.—Living costs in Brazil have reached a point where the Government has been obliged to con sider restricting exports, according to information received by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of La bor. The President of Brazil has author ized a food administration, consisting of one commissioner and the necessary assistants, to investigate food sup plies, costs of production and han dling, selling prices, and means for improving conditions through Govern ment control. Actual Government handling of the crops is possible if it becomes necessary. One of the plans of the administration is to assist workmen’s co-operative organizations in every way. Food prices have advanced greatly in Rio de Janeiro and the working classes have found great difficulty in getting enough to eat. Prices of do mestic products have advanced just as have imported articles and in some instances the percentage of increase is almost as great. When in Chicago, buy The Monitor at Geo. W.
