Ward of the National Oil Co. was here and worked the town Satur We've dug a million trenches and have cleared ten miles of ground, And a meaner place this side of Hell, 1 know has ne'er been found. We've drilled in dust and scorching sun, in mud and driving rain, "Till our eyes and ears and legs ami arms were yelling loud with pain. But there's still one consolation, gather closely while I tell, When we die we're bound for Heaven, 'cause we've done our hitch in Hell, We've built a thousand mess balls for the cooks to stew our beans, We've stood a hundred guard mounts, and cleaned the camp latrenes. We've washed a million mess kits, and peeled a million spuds, We've rolled a million blankets and washed a million duds.

The number of parades we've made is awfuily hard to tell, But we'll not parade in Heaven, for we paraded here in Hell. We've passed a million sleepless hours upon our army cots, And shook a hundred centipedes from out our army socks. We've marched a hundred thousand miles and made a thousand camps, And pulled a million cactus thorns from out. our army pants. So when our work on earth is done, our friends behind will tell, "When they died they went to Heaven, 'cause they did their hitch in Hell.

The slum and coffee we have cussed, likewise the Willie canned, We've damned the gentle gusts of wind that filled the air with sand. We've taken the injections, ten million germs or more, And the vaccine scratched upon our arms has made them very sore. With all these things to get our goats, we all are here to tell, When the order comes to cross the pond, we'll give the Germans Hell. When the final taps is sounded and we lay aside life's caret, And we do the last and gloried parade, on Heaven's shining stairs, And the angels bid us welcome and the harps begin to play, We can draw a million canteen checks and spend them in a day. It is then we'll hear St.

Peter tell us loudly with a yell, "Take a front seat, you soldier men, you've done your hitch in Hell." Copyrighted.) day morning. Rev. Hall attended conference in The Codell State Bank Codell, Kansas Plainville Monday and took tbe train from there to Salina. W. P.
