SOMEBODY’S BOY.
(Sent by Miss K. W. Farley, Belleville Prow Supt„ for Medal Contest*.) Somebody's boy in temptation, Away from the shelter of home; Far from a mother's protection And weary and sad and alone. There are pitfalls. Oh! in plenty. Awaiting his soul to destroy. O voter, speak out at election, And help to save somebody’s !>oy! Son ehody’s boy may be your boy; H.s eyes just the same shade of blue; Som<* day your tears may be falling— The breweries don't care if they do. Tin theirs to ruin and trample; To crush out all hope and all joy. Won’t you go to the polls at election And vote to save somebody’s boy The doors of the breweries are open, There are curses and damnation within. And the indulgence in their glasses Are pledging young lives tc sin. But. voters, your hand ean save them. And angels will sing for joy. If you’ll close up those places forever; Oh, vote to save somebody’s ooy!
