WINNETKA WEEKLY TAL IDA ,-MARCH "28,1919" LJ War Emergency Union Activities | 2) re BATTALION OF DEATH COMMANDER SPEAKS IN COMMUNITY HOUSL The gymnasium of Community House was crowded to the doors Sunday evening to hear Colonel Dan Morgan Smith relate in a vivid and dramatic manner the experiences of his battalion at the front and bevond the lines. He showed how the in- sidious Hun propaganda was at work long before the war, educating Am- erican minds to a false and inflated idea of German smartness and effi- ciency. He warned of German pro- paganda in the land, today, against England, and paid stirring tribute to the true spirit and courage of Iing- land and France. His description of the modern battle line and all the auxiliary men necessary to give the successful from line depth and strength, was most interesting. In dramatic manner he told of the battles in the St. Mihiel sector when the Americans straightened the Hun line and fought in hand to hand con- flict for many hours. He dwelt upon the treacherous German propaganda at work in this land, now, trying to breed dissension, distrust and up- heaval. "It is time to stop criticiz- ing the government," said Colonel Smith. "We had the best fed, the best clothed, the best paid, and the best officered fighting force that God's sunshine ever shone upon." He warned against the combination » will be Mlle.

Somewhere 1n the gloom of "sunny France," Some place in an old wooden shack, Tonight when the wind is howling '" 'round, A soldier wants to come back. Back to the home set back from the street, Back to the mother so dear; Back to the father with his bad game of pitch; Oh, send me away from here. T.et me once more go out in the night To the frat house or the movies for fun; And when I get in let me hear once again Mother say, "Is that you, son?" And she'll say, "Go into the pantry, dear," . Ow perhaps, "Look in the oven," in- stead, : And T'll have a feast that is fit for a king Before I'll crawl into bed. Let me once more be awakened at morn By the voice that first taught me to speak; Oh please send me back to my home in the States, And no more adventure T'll seek. Send me back to the "Reo" of ours; Give it four tires and the power to ! run; I.et me throw it in first and from first to high, And the speed cops I'll surely out- run. But, mother dear, I'm coming home soon, I'm going to pitch, And I'm going to get into real clothes again Where there'll be no little cooties to itch. And lick 'father at And I'm coming back to those whom I love-- Never again to leave, For your soldier boy is homesick to- night-- A tear he wiped off on his sleeve. Somewhere in the gloom of "sunny France," Some place in an old wooden shack, Tonight when the wind is howling 'round; Mother, I want to come back. Ancient Bee Industry Some time back in the prehistoric era and probably antedating the time tap ----a=kind had tamed the wild hens and organized them in the busi- ness of producing "strictly fresh laid eggs," human kind had annexed the bee, or. anyhow, had made a business of robbing the wild bees. Bee farm- ing is no new thing under the sun, but the bees were never before so carefully bred and cross-bred nor so intelligently assisted in the honey- making game as at present.
