Hayes are all "vacationing" at home after teaching in different parts of the state. Why does Caldwell let all these good teachers go to other counties to teach when she needs them so badly at home? Of course Granite does grow. The town has just finished a concrete mayor's office and calaboose, while Moser, Bumgarner Aber are working on a $10,000 building for Mr. L. T.

Sharp, the first story to be a modern garage and the second story for whatever enterprise the town most needs. A crew of hands are also busy on the new Shuford cotton mill building. Good roads have helped to bring these enterprises our way. Some folks can sing; others can't and don't trv. A third class think they can, but can't.

The P. M. of this burg belongs to the third class. Some weird, mournful noises were coming from the postoffice the other day, and a few, not understanding, came up and asked: "Whi is choking a dog in there?" Our esteemed citizen who recently made his third matrimonial adven ture by getting a woman from Lynn, Montgomery, Roebuck 48 lione street, Detroit, or some other where, is now short a wife and several other things, but is long on experience. This warmed-over "mail order" wife after making his home more or less happy for ten days or thereabouts hit the home-bound trail, and so far no one has heard any loud lamentations coming from the little store on the corner.

C. "THE BIRD FROM THE S. O. When the other bird from the S. 0.

S. Sits down to his steak and pie And proclaims his wrath in scorching tongue And swears he would rather die Than count out cans of "monkey i meat" And chuck out loaves of "punk," Tha the wants to fight and hit the gaff And a lot of other bunk. He wears a good old campaign hat And a pair of russet "dogs," He has a mademoiselle To shave his dialogue, While the man in arms contents himself With a can of old "corned bill" And reads his undershirt, For literature is nil. He wears a Stetson made of tin, His "dogs" weigh many a pound; When night comes on he builds his flop And turns in on the ground. Now to the birds in the S.

O. S. With his sorry, doleful plight, Who really hats to count shoestrings And thinks he wants to fight, I crave to take these burning youths And by their soft and tender hands Lead them to the scenes of hell That's bound by moral bands. But it's too late now, and they're going back, These boys from the S. 0.

S. They'll be heroes "over there," Anl we'll, stay forever, I guess. They'll tell of how they wrove the Huns From the Marne to the river Vesle, While the men who really did the work Are reading A. E. F.

mail. They'll tell of how they took The heights of dizzy Mt. Taucon, And in the. siege of Argonne woods Of how they "carried on." We'll occupy the Vaterland, As we are doing now, And eat that "Chines earmy grub" Better known as "Raw Tin Chow." Some day, perhaps, our scow will sail And take us 'cross the foam, But the only thing to welcome us Will be the fact we're home. The cheering throngs with open arms Who met our brave S.

0. S. Will be dispersed and the passerby Will say "More of those birds, I guess. But we'll always know who stopped the Bocho And bridged the river Vesle, Who reduced the salient of St. Mihiel And who stormed the Argonne trail.

The S. O. S. will spill their load And pull their hero stuff, Bu when he fighing men come home, Say! wach us pull their bluff. MY DIVISION I have a division I call it mine.

The tales of its success proclaim it livine. In combat and strife it stands supreme; In sport and character thoroughly clean. Its officers and men, both army and marine, United, have acted "Uncle Sam's Theme." I have a division, an Indian and star, An insignia famed near and afar. Its traditions will soon, let history tell. Hold its readers enthralled in a spell.

No German or foe, whatever he may do, Can hope to conquer the division! named Two. I have a division whose bloodshed has told The struggles for liberty of the brave and the bold. Chateau Thierry, Soissons and St Mihiel, too, The Champagne and Argonne are only a few. A fighting machine shorn of hypocrisy, To conquer or die for the cause of democracy. MOSES HARSHAW.

CURIOUS OUTCOME OF A SEIZURE BY OFFICERS Some time last July revenue 'officers of Virginia got a tip on a moonshine still and, went out to make a raid. The stiu and its operators, however, had disappeared, it seems, and only an innocent mule with a small boy on his back was found. But there was also eight gallons of genuine moonshine joy on the mule's back. After taking these in charge the officers discovered that the mule was the property of a man named Whitlow, who claimed that he was not re-seponsible for the boy or the liquor.

Upon giving bond the mule was released. Later the bond was found to be good and the mule was again a Whitlow then had the state line run, and showed that the mule was" arrested three feet the Kentucky side and in Letcher county, so it Was necessary to turn the case and the mule over to the Kentucky authorities. J. W. Campbell, deputy collector for this district, is now advertising the mule for sale to settle the case.

In the meantime the government is boarding the moonshining mule again, as it did before it was released the first time at Appalachia, Va.
