Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 February 1918 — THE BATTLE CRY OF FEED ’EM [ARTICLE]

THE BATTLE CRY OF FEED ’EM

Yes, we’ll rally round the farm, boys, We’ll rally one again, Shouting the battle cry of Feed ’Em. . We-ve got the ships and money And the best of fighting men, Shouting the battle cry of Feed ’Em. The onion forever, the beans and the corn, Down with the tater—it’s up the next morn—- ’ While we rally round the plow, boys, And take the hoe again, Shouting the battle cry of Feed ’Em. * —Fred Emerson Brooks (“Patriotic Toasts”).
