OUR PAPER

On every hand we're being warned
OF trouble on the way,
The paper stock, because Of war.
Is getting less each day;
It's taking leaps in prices
That would shame a kangaroo.
And prospects for improvement
Are unQuestionably blue. $685.
It's hard to picture our distress
If the supply should fail,
We'd have no daily news to read.
No letters in the mail;
To keep our records we'd go back
To cutting 'em in stone,
Or using bark like people did
When paper was unknown.
Your tailor wouldn't have a chance
To send your bill, unless
He had it cut upon slab
And shipped it by express;
And II a chap should wish to write
His girl warm sentiments,
He'd have to carve 'em on brick
And heave it DER her fence.
BEST sellers" then won't be produced
At such a rapid rate,
And circulating libraries
Will cease to circulate;
Well get our jokes in carload lots.
Our poems by the cord,
And for card We'll use a slate
Or wear painted board.
It's awful when you think Of it.
So let us each resolve
To rack our wits INCREASINGLY
Till we some scheme evolve
Whereby these woes may be FORE
stalled,
Or something brought about
To add unto our paper store
Before It peters out. 49,.

Her Hat

This morning, in miliner's display,
saw hat that took my breath away
A shapeless thing, a-clash with colors gay
And feathers bold
All through the day thought about the thing,
Rejecting that no maid of sense would fling
Her money for it, yet by evening
The hat sold.
Then was filled with sckening disgust.
What woman" quoth I, lis it safe to trust
when beauty battles with the bargain lust?
Her taste is deadl"
Tonight that frightful hat again,
A thing of beauty beyond pow'r of pen,
Desired of women and admired of men
s5/ On Phyllis head!

The incredible outrage of

taken into the National Guard

cradle story of the lynching.
AS usual, she said. in addition
to his actual crime of murder,
the boy was accused of that
other crime that white men of
the south insist the race al
ways commits. In this in
stance that other crime was
written into the lads confess
ion.
Briefly the story is Jesse
Washington. an I8-year old
lad, unable to read or write,
feeble. otherwise in his mental
equipment, killed his employ
er. She then told about the
trial and said the jury had
been out of the box only four
minutes. After minutely de-
scribing every detail, she said
the mayor of the city sat in his
window to watch the torture
and bewailed only the fact
that a good tree would be
spoilt. A small boy was hired
to light the fire. ltis a crime
in Texas for a man to start a
bonfire. The Negro lads
fingers were cut of so that he
couldn't hold onto the chain
thrown over the tree. He
" as lowered into the fire and
raised up out of it for two
hours. Then his body was
dragged through the streets
for another hour.
Then children pulled out
his teeth and sold them for SIS

take part in a lynching. There
will be no arrests and no trials.

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING BUSY
Natives of Solomon Island Take Ad-

at first sight there does not seem

the II arises from the other.

ships p%atroiiyed the islands and en-
deavored to keep down c%annibalism
among the natives, who are largely of
Papuan or MaIaysian stock. How
ever. the requirements for the trans
port of troops led to the recall of the
British WarShiPs-and the happy head
hunter has been free to follow his own
devious courses.
In n raid made by a mountain
tribe upon a small village near the
coast no less than % heads were Sc
cured. No punishment followed be-
cause the whites were unable to or
ganize in time. AS a consequence
the raids are growing more dangerous

have been attacked, planters have con
stantly to keep on their guard.

Monument to Noble Pitcher.

from lne 81. Paul IlSpaICn.
Mollie Pitcher has been remembered,
and at an opportune time. A monument
to this revolutionary heroine how
strange the term heroine sounds in oul
modern ears; hero, rather-has been I'M
yelled in Carlisle, Pa.
Mollie Pitcher, it seems, was the first
of the American Welfare leaguers and
one of the first women to demonstrate
that she could take the place of her
husband, even when that place was III
battle. For Mollie Pitcher, when her
husband fell at Monmouth, took charge
OF the cannon he was in charge of, and
trained 1t well against the enemy. Sht
did her bit quite in matter of coursa
which is a virtue Of women, whether In
the 18th or the goth century. The cannoE
was there to be fired, and Pitcher had
fallen beside it. So Mollie manned the
gun.
General Washington commended he,
bravery. His not to question why. Hs
gave her the rank of sergeant, brushing
aside all the ifs and obs of his contem.
poraries. And SO, Mollie comes down t,
this day, to this very day of renewed
battle, a hero in battle, worthy of s
monument unveiled during battle time.
Perhaps no Mollie Pitcher will appear
on the border. But, already women have
been sacrificed this side the border, and
already women have bravely given their
husbands to the service of their country,
And only these women know how the
chances may run against the return. In
honoring Mollie Pitcher, honor has been
s!ic"n to the splendid race OF American
women.
