If there’s something you would do
Go to it.
That’s the way to put it through,
Go to it.
Jump right in with all your might,
Do it now and do it right,
That’s the way to win your fight—
Go to it.
Would you win a lady fair?
Go to it.
Vict’ry comes to those who dare,
Go to it.
Faint heart ne'er won lady yet,
Don’t just “set an’ set an’ set,”
Go and play your one best bet.
Go to it.
“Shilly-shally” doesn’t pay,
Go to it.
When the sun shines then make hay,
Go to it.
Standing back will ne’er make good,
Shut your mouth and just “saw wood.”
Strike your gait like good men should.
Go to it.

TAKES JOY RIDE WITH
OTHER PEOPLE’S FLIVVERS
ATLANTA, Ga., July 16. —Israel Cot
ton, an Atlanta negro whose color is
diametrically opposite the fleecy sta
ple, plucks Flivvers along the streets
like blackberries along a branch, ac
cording to a couple of Atlanta detec
tives who have been trailing him sev
eral weeks and landed him behind the
bars with a mass of evidence on which
they expect to secure his admission in
to the Ancient Order of the Convict
Stripe.
Israel walks along with an innocent
air, and when he strikes a Flivver that
isn’t bound and gagged, so to speak, he
steps into the driver’s seat and drives
it off. After riding as long as the gas
holds out, he stops the Flivver at the
curb and leaves it, and goes about his
business of finding another one.
But it’s a long lane that knows no
turning, and Israel took about six or
seven rides too many.

(HILLS GOVERNING ALL EXEMPTIONS
Full information regarding exemp

the pamphlet as being more import-1
ant than otherwise. They are: Find

trial grounds, including agriculture,
elarn what district board to 1 apply to;

ly. go to your local board and find out
the order in which you stand for call.
The call for examination will be
posted at the office of the local board
and will be announced in the papers. A
notice will be mailed to the registered
person, but the posting of the list at
the office of the board will be deemed
sufficient notice to you to present j
yourself. The mailing of the notice is
for convenience, but if the letter mis
carries, that cannot be made an ex
cuse.
