POEMS Patriotic Demonstration THIRD LIBERTY LOAN MUST BE ' The following peoms were written by 7th Grade students of the Lincoln their patriotic demonstration last Saturday night, the boy scouts of Hyrum created considerable excitement and enthusiasm among the residents of our otherwise peaceful little citv, and brought out large crowds'of people from all parts of fur town. Just before dark the boy scouts at the call of their masters, had gathered at the public square; there in they were formed into line, and military style, to the tap of the drum, cowbells and horns playing the accompaniment, and headed by their various scoutmasters, paraded up east Main street for two blocks and then countermarched back to the square, where preparation had been made for a bonfire. The demonstration had wonder-fv- l effect, as it brout out many who otherwise would have remained at home, and the spirit of patriotism was manifest on every hand, and brought to once mind the realization to the fullest extent the necessity for the launching of the Third Liberty Loan drive. Arriving at the square, the huge pile of brush that had been gather-e- n by the scouts during the day, was set on fire and in a moment the blaze shot up skyward, and illuminated the neighborhood for blocks In SAVE AND HELP THIS CAUSE ALONG m for their patriotism displayed, and hoped they would always remain true to the country and colors they represent. The scouts and the assemblage then joined in and sang America, after which the second speaker, Mr. C. fQlsen, mounted the platform and gave a very able talk in defense of the Third Liberty Loan, Said it was necessary for every one to do their bit in helping to win the war and assist our government in every way possible in this great conflict to establish freedom for and to all people. He also complimented the boy scouts, and said, in as they had been called to make a house to house canvass in our city for the subscription of Liberty Bonds, that the people would respond liberally to the call. The speaker referred to the patriotism shown by the people of Hyrum in the 1st and 2nd Liberty Loan campaigns, and hoped our people would even make greater efforts than they had in the past, that we may again stand at the head of the list when the figures of the Third Liberty Loan are compiled. as-mu- Why not buy your corn meal at the Hyrum Tnion Mills, where you get better meal and cueaper than anywhere else, and both kinds.
