laving been gone since the 2ith of-
Sept. They won a lot of'prizes
in compction with other'regiments
while at Ft. Riley and showed
some or' the boy.s .how to .play base
ball. The weather was fine during
their maneuvers but there was
considerble mud when they arrived
there and the rain the night be
fore .their departure for home
again made it so muddy that they
longed for the Cherry county sand
hills , and were all glad , to get back
Where rains may fall and winds may
blow ,
The ground sometimes knee deep
in snow ;
The lightnings flash and thunder's '
roar ,
Re-echoes what we've
- said before ,
Of all the land that's met our sight ,
We think our county is all right ;
The men who wade in eastern muds ,
Could make more here in raising-
spuds. " ' '
Than farming therein corn and wheat
And other things thafcls goodIDeat ,
We make more , spend more every year
And have more left , and.have It clear
Than renters who-on eastern farina
-Give half they earn to. . keept&em
warm ;
The other half goes out for rent ,
Unless they fish live in a tent ,
On daily labor earn their bread.
They live half clothed and half fed.
But if we had an eastern farm.
A good stcue house and spacious barn
With water , pasture and good soil ,
, We'd like to go back there and toil.
i But since we haven't , nor the gold ,
We'll stay right here 'til vre grow old
Our country riew , we'll undertake
Like otierere ! ; *
