What Is W. S. S.?

It’s forts and s ships and it’s
I shining guns. : it’s squadrons
j that sweep the sea. It’s all of
! the circling band of steel that
Wooten,,-j 8haH keep the home shores free.
It’s grub and it’s warmth for the
sailor lad, far out on the wintry,
foam-^ for the heave jack tar as
he fights afar: it’s the good old
“Money from Home.”
It’s rifle and helm and it’s
bayonet; it’s shovel and shftrd

the olive drab out there on the
lUs the soaring
wings of the whirring pianes
that battle on high alone. •* For-
th© la<f who is daring: “Over

“Money from Honre."

made some very scathing r. -
marks about the disloyalty ex-

in our sectidH at an address i i

on exaggerated comparisons is.
in our humble opinion, doing a
questionable good.

of our views on the political sit-

this expression. The Argus is
not running for office. We are
not personally interested in any
individual who is running. We
are vitally interested in Princi-

standing for the highest and best
among them. This publication
