THE GIANT

You have had a lot Of woe, Kaiser
Bill; and a lot more you will know
Kaiser Bill; for the giant of the West
straps his harness on his breast, and
will knock you from your nest, Kaiser
Bill. Patient was the giant long,
Kaiser Bill; bearing injury and wrong,
Kaiser Bill; hoping that a ray of
sense would pervade your Uranium
dense, that you'd let up your offense,
Kaiser Bill. But you tramped the
giants toes, Kaiser Bill; and you
tweaked the giants nose, Kaiser Bill;
now you see the giant rise, with the
war light in his eyes, and he'll soak
your Prussian guys, Kaiser Bill.
You're exhausted by the strain, Kaiser
Bill; full of WEAKNESS and pain, Kais-
er Bill; you are going stony broke, and
your folks will bear the yoke of tax
alton till they croak, Kaiser Bill.
You have strained your last resource,
Kaiser Bill; in your work that's rude
and coarse, Kaiser Bill; dotards who
are bent and gray, children from their
school-yard play, you are dragging to
the gray, Kaiser Bill. But the giant
of the West, Kaiser Bill; has an ample
treasure chest, Kaiser Bill; tortured
by no bloody thirst, by no war lord
visions curst, he will you into wurst,
Kaiser Bill.

A PROCLAMATION

This year gives us an opportunity t.
take special interest in our usua
spring holiday. That we may con.
serve our energy and direct our efforts
toward useful purpose and observe
the day in a manner BETTING the cir
cumstances of the impending war,
|, Horace F. Graham, Governor, des-
ignate Friday, the Fourth day of May
Arbor and Bird Day.
Seedtime demands our attention.
Let us combine profitable recreation
and patriotism in planting trees and
food gardens. Many citizens are well
qualified to give practical instruction
and demonstration in planting. Let
each community provide one or more
persons to give such actual demon
stration.
Our birds are pleasure and great
economic asset. They cheer US by
their songs and prevent the loss of
thousands Of dollars worth of crops
by their destruction of insects. We
are striving for a maximum harvest,
the birds will help and they deserve
protection.
Let us join in conserving our nat
ural resources and in permeating our
industry with thrift. A state at work
is state at war.

Seal of the State at Montpelier. this

The Housewives Economy Calendar

We really are not. A good white
enamel framed mirror may be had
for about 81. If you do not need
a large one you may pay less. The
next thing to do is to buy a small
kitchen table - Imprinted, plain
wooden table, that costs not more
than two dollars and half.
Now paint the table with white
filler paint If the table stands too
high from the floor it is an easy
matter 10 saw the ends of the legs
off. To determine the right height
seat yourself before the table with
the mirror hanging above il and
estimate a height that would be the
most convenient in arranging your
hair or manicuring your nails.
Something will, of course. depend
on your own height. Cut a piece
of white oilcloth for the top and
nail this neatly in position with
small headed tacks.
Now arrange a valance of some
attractive chintz - if possible the
same pattern as your other bedroom
chintz IL you have any curtains or
other drapery of that material. II
is best to arrange the fullness OF
the valance in pleats about three
inches apart and they may be
tackled into place around the top
Of the table with gold headed tacks.
There should really be two valances.
one on one side going midway
around to the front and the other
doing the same thing at the other
side. Leaving this opening in the
front makes it possible TO draw
ones chair up close 10 the table.
