A SONG OF HATE.


Has neither kith nor kin,
But he often speaks about the blood
Well pay the Germans in
Then up goes John P. StubblefeTd
To the court house on the hill
To kick about his taxes
While your son goes to drill
And John P. stands where he can see
And hollers: Give 'em hell for nep'
Now this same John P. Stubblefeld
Was young in Ninety-eight,
And hated Spain and Spaniards
With very savage hate
Yes, this same John P. Stubbefeld
With wrath was most insane,
SO some of US went marching off
To help avenge the Maine
And John P stood where he could see
And hollered: "Give 'em hell for mep'
Well, this same John P. Stubblefeld.
He started up a store,
And he was getting good and rich
When we came back from war
And some of US were broke and sick,
And all were mighty slim,
But John P. Stubblefield was glad
We gave 'em hell for him.
And my old man, he said to me,
Hes like his Pa in Sixty-threep'
Now that's been nineteen years ago.
And John P.'S rich as mud
But somehow he can't get away
From that strange lust for blood.
He hated MeXicans awhile,
And yelled when Company
Went hiking off to Mexico:
Boys, give 'em hell for mer'
And John P. bid on army shoes
AS soon as he received the news!
So this same John P Stubblefeld
Is hating of the Huns;
He says he's sorry he can't send
A half dozen sons.
Then up goes John P. Stubblefield
To the court house on the hill
To roar about taxation
AS your boy goes to drill
he raves about the horried Hun,
While your son Jugs a nine-pound gun!
Yes, this same John P Stubblefeld
Makes speeches by the yard;
He criticises congressman,
And criticises hard
He wears flag upon his coat
There's flags around his store;
He's raised the price of wooden warn
Because of this here war
My wife is knitting sox these days
That's how know about that raise.
When some one said we all should save
Who was the first to send
letter to the papers
Advising folks to spend?
For saving would hurt business
In saving panic lurks'-
Why, this same John P. StubbTefeTd-
Then he laid off fifty clerks
And fifty teamsters at a clip,
While your son studies marksmanshini
Yes, this same John P StubbIefeId.
He burns with righteous rage
He storms about the income tax
And cuts his chauffeur's wage.
He fought against preparedness
Now he warns of army graft
And tells the war department
To hurry up the draft.
Well, my old man once said to me.
Hes like his Pa in Sixty-threev'
It's this same John P. Stubblefeld,
With neither chick nor child.
Who hates the Germans with hate
That's very hot and wild.
OF course, / hate the Germans, too.
For that is only fair
But | do not hate them half as rnucb

If must be remembered, however, that TINS

action. The same concern pays private con-
tractors in Brooklyn and The Bronx large
sums for similar rights in those boroughs
Conservative estimates of the value of the

Manhattan profits would at least be duplicated
there. bringing the total that leaks from the

There are other items, however, that are
considered by the workers of far greater i'm

the corporate rag and garbage pickers as
certain source of income to them. Women
who are not averse to throwing away valuable
household utensils have proved themselves
careless with their Jewels and other valuabes.

MANHATTAN
Saturday Night

Don't litter the streets. Throw your papers
here" is favorite slogan of the makers of
these cans.
Investigation reveals the fact that this
thoughtfulness was not as unselfish as one
might have imagined Every time you drop a
newspaper of average dimensions into one of
Mr.. Shonts's subway cans you have contributed
about one-fifth of a cent to the Golfers of the
corporation that collects them. The profit on
paper is greater to-day than at any time in
the history of the world, and the prices being
paid to the subway and elevated roads for the
privilege of emptying the paper refuse recep-
tacles have increased accordingly. While it
has been impossible to obtain anything APP

On the Trail of the Food Shortage
Continued
Continued from Page One

lief must from its very nature be tenn
porary. The same forces that made the
conditions of labor hard before the war
will produce similar results when peace
returns. 1t is these forces operating
unchecked that are turning nation of
home owners and farm owners into
nation of tenants. Already SO per cent
OF the farms of Illinois are titled by ten
ants; while Oklahoma, newer state,
has still higher percentage. And the
same conditions that convert farm
owning states into tenant working
states are expressing the workers in
mine, store and factory.
1t may be said of the food problem,
therefore, first, that food production
depends upon land used for mines,

stores and factories, as well as upon the
farm itself; second, that land is the raw
material of farmers, as iron is of the
ploughmaker, and, third, that cheap
land is necessary for cheap food, in the
same sense that cheap iron makes
cheap plough.
Therefore. it is the duty of the gov
eminent, whether local, state or ma
tional, to remove all taxes from foods
and other labor products, which will
make them cheaper and place them Upon
land values which, by falling on vacant
as well as improved land, will force it
into use-will make all land cheaper.
To do this requires no new taxing ma
chinery and no disturbance to titles to
land, but merely the exemption OF all
labor products from taxation.

a total Of slightly more than $37,7OO annually
for the privilege of assaying the gold out OF
the rubbish discarded by Manhattan alone.
Add TO this tribute to the city the expenses
of maintaining scores of wagons and horses
cost of employment of small army OF men
to work in double shifts on the two dumps, and
il is easv to see how the expense of sorting
the rubbish chambers well over the SloO,ooo

are not available, city experts estimated that
the valuables taken from Manhattans rubbish
were readily salable for more than Sl5o'ooo
year.

Barren Islanders Get Their Table,
ware for Nothing

This means that the generous-or careless,
according to the point of view-readers of
newspapers and magazines in New York add
another fortune TO that which they throw
away directly from their homes. But the cor
porations who collect the paper do not enjoy
undisputed rights in this field. The alluring
promise of profits held out by this business
has enticed many boys and even adults into
the work Of collecting old newspapers, with
the result that the profits that otherwise might
line the pockets of the organized collector are
being divided among many.
Over on the very appropriately named por-
ton of New York that is called Barren Island
is to be found the city's greatest waste in
dustry While certain part Of the odoriferous
work carried on there is absolutely essential
to the welfare of any great city, officials who
are connected with it are convinced that at
least half Of their task may be traced directly
10 the reckless abandon Of the MASTERS. For
those who throw away their substance not
only pocket a tremendous loss themselves, but
make it necessary for the city to expend mill
ions in disposing of their discarded valuables.
Some slight idea of the magnitude of the
Barren Island project may be found in the
fact that more than 1000 men, women and
children inhabit its desert waste and literally
wiring living from the tons Of refuse de-
posted there daily by the city's scows Most
of the men living there are on the city's pay
roll, while their wives and children supple
ment the family income by seeking additional
prizes on the islands barren dumps.
If the present plans of the city administra-
ton are carried into execution, the entire in
dustry will be removed to a Ioint on the shores
of Staten Island But the Staten Islanders
have certain ideas of their own on this sub
ject, and have invoked the aid of the courts
in an effort to compel Mayor Mitchels experts
TO let well enough alone At this particular
moment opponents of the plan appear to have
the upper hand. But it is see-saw fight, and
nobody can .N'edict the result.
Anybody 'yfo has the temerity to journey

luck, as there is general understanding that
dump, like the tips given in the coat rooms
at the big hotels and restaurants, belongs to
the employer of the favored ones. 1t is an
open secret, however, that the person who dis
covers "a sparker" never permits it to become
mixed into the days grist. He usually drops
out of his job until the incident, if known, is
forgotten or eclipsed by greater discoveries of
other fortunates.

And then, as if to prove the truth Of hi,

the tips of several pieces Of table cutlery Of
as many different designs. Nobody on Barren

luxuries of the table on every scow. The isl.

All is grist that comes TO the mill Of the
garbage potentate. Everything from the horse
that dies in the street to the beribboned pussy
who meets sudden death in a city apartment
travels to Barren Island to be converted into
grease, fertilizer or some other cash producing

even greater than has been suspected, because
of the destruction of tons OF edible fish in order

newspapers, in this time of almost prohibitive
