His wonderful voice is the music
teacher's pride,
When he sings he turns red through
out his hide,
His lips puff out like a toy balloon,
He tries to make his voice go high
as the moon;
He opens his mouth, then clears out
his throat,
And then comes out a sound that
would capsize a boat;
In writing he thinks he's the star of
the school,
But his teacher says he writes Just
like a mule;

rk wards OF SERVICE
Admiral Sims has declined a dee
oration that came to hlro through
Secretary Daniels because he strong
ly disapproved of tho secretary's se
lection of officers to be decorated.
General Tershlng has scolded hard
because too many army officers who
had home service In the war now
hold higher rank than demoted offi
cers who proved themselves very
valuable fighting men. Secretary
Daniels Is to submit to revision the
lists that Admiral Sims disapproves.
Secretary Baker says the complaints
about the present low rank of fine
officers are well founded, but that
he cannot help it, and that the rel
ative rank of officers who ' went
abroad and those who worked at
home will be more satisfactory when
the home workers have finished their
Jobs and been demoted.
Very well; but anyone who re
pines because his work In the war
did not get the recognition it de
serves makes a mistake. As to dec
orations, the London Kvering Stand
ard quotes a much-decorated British
soldier as saying that all his ribbons
are not worth sixpence. Sometimes
ribbons stand for merit; sometimes
for luck. In England the Victoria
cross Is said to be the only decora
tion that Is above the suspicion of
being a mark of favor.
The grep.t reward for having done
one's duty In the great war Is to
have done It. No board or secretary
can give that reward, nor take It
awa. Life.
The Wegher brothers, Tlum creek
homesteaders, near Newcastle, are
disgusted with their luik. They
started to dig a cellar for their home
stead rhack and now Instead of a
cellar have a coal mine. They have
abundant use for a cellar but little
for a coal mine in that particular lo
cation, and the fact that in excavat
ing for a cellar thejr uncovered a
voin of high grade coal has upset
their calculations. Oasses from de
composing coal made it inadvisable
to use the excavation for a cellar,
and a new cellar therefore must be
dug elsewhere. Later the brothers
may develop the coal mine, but Just
now they are more Interested In de
veloping the agricultural and stock
raising potentialities of their land.
The coal measure Is believed to be
an extension of that on which the
coal camp of Cambria (s located.
Marketing of the first oil from the

The Illinois Pipeline company has

pouring their production into these
tanks. Gathering lines have been
run through the entire fields.
He's a born arithinc ticker,
Hut a problem easy to us to him is a
slicker;
n spelling ho thinks he's got the
school beat,
But when we have a match he's the
first to take his seat ;
When history time comes he throws
out his chest,
And Just tho same as says of all he's
the best;
But when reciting time comes his
pride does reduce,
And says he studied the wrong lesson
or Borne other excuse;
He thinks he's the natural boss of
our gang,
If you want to know It this guy is

The Pencil Slmipener
The ole pencil sharpener must be
pretty strong,
Cause the kids keep it going all day
long;
To go up there Is most kids' delight,
They sharpen their pencils, then off
the leads bite;
But doing this too much may not
Pay,
'Cause It's liable to fall to pieces any
ole day.

LEST WE REMEMBER
"Forget about the war" seems to
be the slogan of the American people
Just at present. Spend; travel; dine;
Jazz; dash off to Florida, to Cali
fornia, to Europe, anywhere, every
where; buy expensive automobiles,
luxuries, houses, costly Jewelry;
throw money right and left, but
forget about the war.
Unfortunately there are a few of
America's hundred millions who can
forget about the war. It Is to be
doubted if the parents of the fifty
thousand American dead in France
can ever forgot about the war. Nor
will those men In the hospitals scat
tered throughout the country who
are without an arm, a leg, or their
sight, be very likely to forget about
the war. Not, at any rate, in the
immediate future.
But recent Indications are that the
mass of the American people are for
getting about the war very satisfac
torily. The recent elections in Wis
consin, where Victor L. Bergsr, but
late convicted on charges of treason
able conduct during the war, was
elected to the house of congress by
a majority of five thousand votes,
would seem to point to tt. And this
straw Is but one of many that show
how the wind Is blowing.
Forget about the war?

YES, sir, we mean that same warm red and gold
tin that smiles a welcoming "Howdy" to you in
every tobacco store. Know what those colors mean?
The red is for the friendly warmth, the mellow
cheeriness, that Velvet puts into your old pipe. And
the gold is where the Kentucky sunshine, that ripens
g;ood old Velvet, has just sort of soaked through.

And think this over:
We don't have to hide Velvet's taste or smell with
a lot of this, that and the other thing. Because Velvet
has naturally what pipe smokers want real simon
pure tobacco taste and fragrance. It's just good, honest
Kentucky leaf, made still more friendly and mellow by
two years' ageing in wooden hogsheads. Just good
tobacco. That's all. But it's mighty near enough for
the man who wants a pipeful of tobacco and not a box
of bon bons.
The picture of a pipe on the tin neednt h
from rolling a jim-dandy cigarette with Velvet.
