Homeward Bound
The fleet is sailing homo again; It's
crossed the Seven Seas;
Old Glory from each battleship
swings out upon tho breeze.
The stars have shone in ev'ry port,
it's stripes of white and red
Have lighted many a foreign port
as' round tho world it sped.
The nations of the earth have seen
the flag we love the best
The fleet has borne it round the
world from out the Golden West.
And now the ships that carried it
are on the homeward tack;
So three times three! And once
again the fleet is coming back.
Our bands played "Dixie" in Japan,
and "Hail Columbia'," too.
On China's shores they've played the
strains of old "Red, White and
Blue."
"Hot Time" they played on India's
shores, and on Egyptian sands
"Star Spangled Banner's" glorious
strains came ringing from the
bands.
'Twas "Yankee Doodle" for John
Bull he'd heard the strains be
fore As shrilled from fife and rolled from
drums above the cannon's roar.
But now the fleet is come back across
Atlantic's foam,
And all the men sing while the bands
are playing "Home, Sweet Home."
The fleet is homeward bound again;
the flag is coming back.
The ships. -have circled round the.
earth; they're on the homeward
tack
From Occident to Orient, wherever
shins may ride.
They've borne aloft Old Glory's folds,
they've been our boast and pride.
Brave Lawrence looks down from
aloft and watches ev'ry day;
And Foote, and Jones, and Farragut
they guard the homeward way.
The old sea heroes watch the course
across the raging main
So three times three! And then
once more the fleet is homo
again!
and fresh, but will save $1.28 in
lettuce bills. Ho will also save 86
cents on radishes, 58 cents on
onions and $1.3V in peas and beans.
In addition to which ho will havo
them nice and fresh from his own
garden, instead of wilted and pithy
from the grocer's.
Ho may bo able to raiso tomatoes
to tho amount of G3 cents.
And they will bo fresh from his
own garden, too.
And a few heads of cabbage.
Fresh, crisp cabbage right from
his own garden.
All this is figured out to a gnat's
eyebrow at this time of the year.
A little later tho city man will
figure it all out, something like this:
There's $2.50 for a garden fork
and a hoe. And 75 cents for a rake.
And $1.80 for seeds and plants. And
there was a four-dollar pair of shoes
ruined by mud and dust. And also
a $7 pair of trousers. It also cost
75 cents for court plaster and cream
lotions for blistered hands and a
peeled nose.
Returns: A few measley vege
tables that escaped the voracious
bugs.
And next year the city man will
do it all over again with like results.
Often Happens
-"Who is the ragged old tramp go
ing across the street?"
"That's Wimperly, the man who
invented the doubleplex perfecting
press."
"And who is that richly dressed
gentleman who has just dropped a
quarter in the tramp's hand?"
"That's Gougerly, the man who in
vented an ingenious little attachment
to Wimperley's press."
Bobby Knew
Teacher "There Is a certain ani
mal that' progresses very slowly, and
even then it travels backwards. Can
any pupil tell me Its name?"
Bobby "I don't know it's name,
Teacher, but I know what it is."
Teacher "Ah, Bobby; you may
tell the other pupils."
Ttnhhv "It's a republican con
gressman tacklin' th tariff revision
question."
As Usual
This is the season of the year
when the city man figures out what
a lot of fresh vegetables he is going
to raise on tiiat little 7x11 patch of
ground in bis back' yard.
By raising 'sorae' lettuce in the
patch he will not only have it nice
The Shock
"I hear that Blumerly Is very ill.
What's the matter with him?"
"He got a terrible shock the other
evening."
"Why, how did it happen?"
"He asked his wife tos go' to a re
ception with him and she didn't say
she did not have a thing fit to wear."
Mine
"Does your carriage run by elec
tric power or by gasoline power?"
"By hand power. The baby is the
only passenger."
Brain !LeaIcs
The hand's clasp tells the truth
of tener .than the tongue.
Worry & Fret is a firm that makes
quick delivery to its customers.
Tomorrow's wages spent today
means double work and less of play.
It never hurts a minister to oc
casionally take the pewpolnt of
view.
The average man never becomes
so old that he entirely loses faith
in the old saying that "there 13 a

Could never tell a lie;
In which, respect George Washington
Was unlike you and I,
But If 'tis true he couldn't lie
And lots of folks- have said it
Why should he for his truthful ways
Be given so much credit?
Now, here are we, and unlike George
We can tell awful whoppers;
We can spin fairy tales galore
Unto our moms and poppers.
But we do not and so wo claim
George simply isn't in it.
With modern boys and modern girls,
Not for a single minute.
He couldn't tell a single lie -r
With accent on the "couldn't."
Now wo could always tell a lie,
But, then, we simply wouldn't.
Now, honest Injun, don't you think
Our praise you should be singing
Instead of always boosting George
And that old chestnut ringing?

$600 From One
Acre of Cucumbers
W. Q. Hooks, near Run, Texas, in tho
Gulf Coast Country, gathered 400
crates of cucumbers from a single
acre, for which ho received $000. It
cost him only $4.75 to plant, water and
grow the crop, and 5 cents a bushel
to gather and haul It to tho railroad
station.'
Over $500 clear profit for a little light
work that many a city man would bo
glad to do just for exercise. ' -.
If this can be done on one acre, think
of the possibilities from 5 or 10 acres.
Have you such possibilities in your
nrottont work? Why shouldn't you cm-
brace the chance to gain fortune, free
dom and health? Raising fruits and
vegetables in the Gulf Coast Cquntry io
not difficult any one can do it. You
can buy. a few acres on easy terms and
the llrst crop, if properly cared for,
should more than pay for the land.
Life in the Gulf Coast Country Is pleas
ant the winters aro mild the sum
mers are pleasantly cooled by guix
breezes. Investigate this proposition
while tho land is within your reach-r-next
year It will cost more.
Let me send you some further informa
tion about the big profits growers aro
making in the Gulf Cbast Country. Wo
