The is divisions composing the corps,
consisting of four regular, nine national

units, probably will <*ompose the first
army, which, with supplemental army
troops, such as heavy artillery, will total
a million men.
Instead of one field army on January
I. as originally planned, il now ap- j
prar* probable that two such armies !
will lie operating in France by that date,
harked "by full American -built and main

lie W It hill sight.

Dog Days and Mid-Summer

1 At Three o'clock th' Leadin' Attorney Emerges From His Office Over th' Pool
room With th' Pockets o' His Alpaca Coat Bulgin' With Legal Documents.
Fillin' th' Crown o' His Hat With Burdock Leaves, He Ventures Forth
Under th' Wiltin' Rays o' th' Sun t' Scare Some Farmer.
When th' summer landscape takes
j on a scuffed an' faded appearance like
u over-exposed ten dollar suit we know
we are fare t' face with dog days, that
midsummer season o* th* year when
all livin' things jlst sorter peter out
an' languor rnJes supreme in shop an'
7nart an' field. Th' brawny wage earn
er with muscles o' Iron mopes about
his work with h disposition t' do so
much an* no more. Even folks with
gilt edged livers succumb t' th' dull,
warm monotony an' freely an' unre
i servedly express 'emselvew as beln' ut
j 'terly and unqualifiedly indifferent as t'
' whether school keeps er not. Kven
th' Ideal wife sals th' succotash back
t' simmer while she feels her way
red an* faintin' t' th' verandy fer a llt
tlo breathln' spell.
In th' dark musty parlor th* spider
| embroiders his flinty lace from th'
| crayon portrait e' grandma t' th' hang
In' lamp with Impunity. Th' upstairs
smells like a lumber yard an' th' sew
in' machine Is takln' a much needed
rest. Th' birds have quit spoonln' an'
the'r fiedgln's are scattered an' gone.
Dog days In a dressln' Jacket town
i la th' nearest thing t' th' bottom o'
I a well wtien It comes t' j>eace an'
I quiet. Th* only things that enliven
? th' business section are ? yeller fly net
I an' a pile o' watermelons In front o'
i th' general store, (th' season fer th'
bright red cultivator with yeller run
; nln' gears havln' closed early in July).
As th' snn rounds th' Baptist church
; steeple th* combination pustmaster* an'
, storekeeper sprinkles th' melons an'
I fixes tli* b*U oo th' *cr**n door an'
[ goes t' sleep near th' prunes. Across
tli* st root und^r th' low boughs o' a
wide spread! n' Cottonwood tree In
front o' tir Citizens' Hank th*' oldest
lnhnbltnnt curls up on a bench an'
positively refuses t' be drawn out <?n
th' war er th' currency question. At
ten o'clock th' landlady o' th' Central
House crosses th' road thro' th' dust
In her bare feet carryln' a crock. At
twelve th' dinner bells o* the' farms
far across th' valley ring out an' th'
livery stable keeper throws his teiv
backer out an' rinses his mouth at th'
town pump an' goes home t' dinner.
At three o'clock th' lendln' attorney
emerges from his office over th' pool
room with th' pockets o' his alpaca
coat bulgln' with legal documents.
Flllln' th' crown o' bis hat with bur
dock leaves h* ventures forth under
th' wlltin' rays o' th' sun to scare some
farmer. As th' shades o' evenln' Rath
er th' wheezy notes o' a clarinet come
from th' open window o' th' bandroom
an' fade a'.vay In th' twilight. As th*
constable sets his ladder agin' th'
lamppost on th' public square, th'
clatter o' hoofs IS heard comln' o'er th'
brow o' th' hill. Purty soon Steve an'
\#ln In a side bar buggy pull up In
front o' the Ice cream parlor, an'
th' evenln's revelry begin*. As they
slowly wind ther way home throu' th*
rjulet country lanes th' air Is heavy
with th' Oder o" overripe alderberrles
an' dust. With one foot on th' dash
board an* th' other danglln' carelessly
on th' outside o' fh' tjuggy, Steve
throws th' lines Bmund th' whip an*
kisses Mln passionately as she holds
his hat.
