"BUY A BOND"
The Kaiser sat lo hla chair of state
And clenched his good risht hand;
Looking askance at a human mistake.
At his hon. the Clown of the Land.
"When this war broke out," said Kal
iter Bill.
"And we figured the spoils we'd
make;
I promised you the United States
For you to sell or to take.
"But witness, my son, what has came
about.
From a nation I counted as bunk;
With its thousands of men who con
tinue to come
Tho the U-boats' have sunk and
sunk.
"Do you know what's gummln' your
one time chance
Of ruling this race of swine?
Why, an insane buying of government
bonds
That is beatin a path to the Rhine.
"And now when the fighting has hit us
hard,
While we work with a lack of sup
plies; Along come the Swine with (heir lib
erty loans.
And I soothe my people with lies.
"But forever, my son. Is a Ions, long
time.
And I can't back these lies all alone;
So push the warfare and pray as you
go, and
Oh. damn their Liberty Loan!"

And the guns have barked their roes

But the echo' hardly settled to a
breath of a refrain
Till you wonder how they are back

. There's fun as well a anguish con
nected with hunting the elusive louse,
but the best line, according to the
major In charge of "antl-cootle" cam
paigning, comes from "Scratchville."
"Scratchvllle" Is the popular name
the boys have given to a hospital in
Lorraine where skin Infections arising
from "cootie" bites are cared for.
"Scratchville" always has patients.
One day when the major was mak
ing an Inspection round, a patient of
"Scratchville" yelled with beaming
eyes, "Say, Doctor, don't you think I
ousrht to ret the Croix de Guerre? I
Just captured a cootie with seven ser
vice stripes on him."
Save for Your Country or Slave for
the Hun.
AN ABSENT MINDED PATRIOT
He said he'd like to have the chance
To fly by land or sea,
And yet In absent minded way
Put four lumps in his tea.

THE DRIFT ETERNAL
(Copyright, 1918, by the N. Y. Tribune)
There's a long, dull hike down a dusty,
crusty road,
And you wonder how they are back
home;
There are fifty pounds of packing
for an all day load.
And you wonder how they are back
home;
There's a billet may be waiting where
the floors are bare,
And a night wind lashes from the
raw, damp air,
But you never think about it and you
never seem to care.
As you wonder how they are back
home.
You've finished up your ranging with
your guns in place.
And you wonder how they are back
home;
The ghostly darkness settles and the
rain is in your face,
But you wonder how they are back
home;
You've sent along your orders through
In a certain village Just behind the
lines in Lorraine, within easy range
of German guns, as evidences show,
the German has shown his idea of
kulture.
For months the Germans have been
shelling this tiny village, until but
one building stands untouched among
all the ruins. It is a prominent build
ing and one that could be easily hit.
This large building stands apart
from the rest, and is conspicuous. But
it is never fired upon, and probably
never will be. There's but one reason
one can find why this building is un- j
damaged, and everything else is pul-;
veiized.
The building is a brewery.
There are various ways of consoling
the folks back home by means of let
ters, and the censor is the man who
enjoys the consolation most. He knows
what is what, and does not take con
solation too seriously.
The prize among consolation stories
is that of a chap in a certain company
out at the front who wrote to his wife
that he had taken out 10,000 dollars
life Insurance with Uncle Sam. The
private pointed out what a fine thing
this insurance was, and waxed elo
quent. He closed Lis letter with:
"All you have to do, Mary Dear, is
sit on your chair and wait."
The German air service considers it
self quite clever in the schemes and
tricks it figures out. But now and
then Heinie tries something which
boomerangs back on himself.
Recently a flock of German aviators
decided to deceive allied flyers by
painting allied designs on German ma
chines. They were fine designs, al
most as good as the allies themselves
could make, so good that the bocbes
shot down three of their own planes
unwittingly, so prisoners say.
Again Heinie is flying with his own
iron cross on his machines.
The More Bonds the Fewer Casualties.
Enlist as Our Soldiers Do. Buy
Liberty Bonds.
Bonds Buy Bayonets.
