Didn't know much, but knew something.
Learned while the other men played;
Didn't delay for commissions:
Wont while the other men stayed.
Took no degrees up at Pittsburg,
Needed too soon f'.r the t ome,
Didn't gei bars on I t” should* rs.
Or three men1 hs 'o'- i he*, could;
Didn't get claimed with ’ ' g’tj.rs
Or told they were equally ^«>od
Just got a job and got b is ,
Awkward they were, ou intent,
Filing no claim for exemption,
Orders said: “Go"I—And they went.
Didn’t get farewell processions,
Didn't get newspaper praise,
Didn’t excape the injunction
To mend in extenso, their wavs.
Work-bench and counter and roll-top,
Dug in and minding their chance.
Orders said: “First line of trenches!"
They’re holding them—somewhere in France.

Case Kerosene Tractors Are
a
Preferred By Most Farmers
Her« in the Cane 9*18 Keroneue Tractor, which farm*
era are buying all over the country. It is the leader
among the light weight tractors. It is tried and proven,
not only by farmers, but such authorities as the en-
gineers of the University. Thousands are in usethrogh-
out the country. Before you decide on what tractor
you want, you ought to investigate this Case 9-18. It
is adapted to all sorts of farm work. It hums kerosene
ucre- fti! y 1 .-»«*• no 'ini«‘-i'! y.
This 20x28 Case Thresher can be operated by a Case
9-18 Kerosene Tractor, or any other engine of equal
power. It is especially built for the man who wants to
do his own threshing at his own convenience, without
“waiting his turn.”
'Fills thresher with windstacker and hand feed weighs
a little over 2000 pounds. A team of horses can haul
it around in case your engine is a tractor.
Like the larger Case Threshers this small one is built
of steel, so it is rot and fire proof. And it has dozens of
advanced ideas not found in any other thresher. For ball
and socket bearings prevent “liot-box” troubles.
This machine threshes all common grains, and also
wastes the least of any we know of.
This *s the sin«l:est of the seven sizes of the Case
Threshers, famous for 76 years. Any day you areseady,
we’ll be glad to tell you about these threshers and tractors

Voters, Men and Women
\
I am unacquainted with political methods
said to be usually employed in campaigns for
office. I would not know a politicaly live wire
from a dead one, and hence have not nor do I
intend to try to pull any wires in this race for
the office of county treasurer.
I leave everything in the hands and to the
honest judgment of the mass of the voters, men
and women of Jim Wells county.
I have not made extra efforts to get the
support of influencial citizens in various parts
of the county, though I certainly want and
shall appreciate all the aupp >rt they may give
me.
My efforts have been and shall continue to
be to set my claims for the office before all of
the voters without respect to their financial
standing, religious sentiments or political views.
If you appreciate my long service to tl ■/
county then I shall be grateful for your vote.^f

Candidate for county treasurer subject to
your judgment to be expressed at the polls

If You Are Pro-German
Don’t Read This
In these days when our broth-
ers are dying on the blood soak-
ed fields of Flanders and Picardy.
When our sisters, wives and
mothers are toiling long and
weary hours in the Red Cross
work. In these days of uncer-j
tainty, when every one is work-
ing with might and main help
win the war. When any sftirker
is a nuisance. When every on«
should do his bit. We feel tte#
we are not asking too much of
the members of the Home Guardi
to ask for one hour two nights
in the week to help us make our
home guard a success. It is
your home guard as well as ours.
It is for your protection as well
as ours. I We feel that you should
be as much interested as we are.
We think that you should feel as
much pride in it as we do.
The work is not degrading.
No one will poke fun at you, un-
less he be a Pro German, a
slacker or a fool. The hours aie
not long. The work is not hard,
in fact it is good for your physi-
cal well being to take the exer-
cise, and we will guarantee that'
you will never regret doing so.
Is it possible that you are so
busy that you can not give two
hours out of each week to this
cause? We think not If you
do have to make a small sacrifice
what of it? Are you not willing
to make it for the protection of
your loved ones and your home?
Think it over and see if your
concience does not hurt you?
Everyone is welcome. If you
are not physically able to drill
lend us your moral support by
coming out and being with us.
Rifle practice will begin as early
as we can arrange for it which
will be at an early date.
