Kniss. - WHAT THEY THINK OF PLATTSMOUTH Here is a verse which one of the soldier boys wrote while resting at the Hotel Wagner, a few days, since and has been handed to irs, 'Hello Plattsmouth, This is Ft. Crook' Nestled in a rolling country. From the Fort a half hour ride; We found a "Peppy" little city. That from the world try'ng to hide We had heard about the people living In that quiet little spot, Se we went ther full of wonder And we found more than we sought A little city with the 'raakins,' Of l first class place to dwell, Found we hiddn there so quietly, And. we rush back home to tell. Soon the boys all started comiag To that place on day and night; To enjoy the hospitation, And to take in all the sights. Just a moment, don't 'start some thing," , When we say, "To take in Sights," Though 'tis a quiet little spot, We are still within our right?. We are thinking of the Red Cross blowout. Of these three last nights or so, And the money raised for Uncle Sam, By putting on that show. , If the Red Cross doin's, was a sample Of the sport of that town, Can you blame us friendly people, If we like to hang around? Why you spend your money gladly, For a cause that's just and true, And you offer us the glad hand, Every week we come to you. After hard drilling and marching, Your little town looks good to all; So we're coming to play with you, Till the orders come, "The Call." Then gladly we will sail across To fight and die for you; Because you cheered us up, friends, When we were feeling blue. Bi-Bud Lt. M. B. Johnson. AP.E USING THE PHONOGRAPH. From Tuesday's Daily.
