UNCLE WHO?

When you're confined to quarters
And you're layin' in your tent,
And you've got canteen headache,
And your last two bits is spent,
And you're homesick for your mother,
And nobody gives d--n,
Then you're working four your Uncle,
Uncle who?--why Uncle Sam.
When you wake up in the mornings
And the flies buzz in your tent,
And you sort of start to wonder,
How your wife will pay the rent,
And the doctor has your number,
So you can't pull any sham,
Then you're working for your Uncle,
Uncle who?-why Uncle Sam.
When they slam you in the guard
house
Cause you wouldn't shovel dirt,
And your heart is sort of aching,
And your feet are tired and hurt,
And you're waiting for court martial
Feelin' glum as any clam,
Then you're working for your Uncle,
Uncle who?-why Uncle Sam.
For you can't fool, round your uncle,
He's a sort of ornery gent.
Where you used to make a dollar,
Now he pays you bout a cent.
Just obey each little order,
And don't growl about the chow,
For you're down here on the border
And you're in the army now.
William Harvey Allen.

WAR AND MEMS FASHIONS.

New York World: Of ways to win a
war, federal regulation Of mems fash
ions may seem the oldest, but we
shall presently make the acquaint,
ance Of other devices now quite as un,
Expected.
There is not in Europe a warning
nation, perhaps not neutral one, that
has not to some extent regulated cos
tune to save material. Great Britain
limits the heights of women's shoes
to save leather, and it should be done
here. Public opinion has everywhere
been rallied for economy. Germany
controls all clothing, permits it to be
sold only on allowance and expects
each Deutsch civilian to go barefoot
during the summer.
Y Multiplied by millions, saving OF any
kind is no trifle. The cloth used in
turn up cuffs at trouser bottoms, one
pair for each adult American male,
would make strip IS inches wide
from here to the Pacific ocean; and
some men have many pairs. Norfolk
pleats waste relatively even more
cloth. Most Of all has gone in need
less duplication Of special purpose
garments
Since there is not wool enough in
the world to go on in the old reckless
way, men must of their own accord
economic in raiment or compulsion
may become necessity. To borrow
phrase worthy of the subjects. this
goes for the ladies too.

NEW LIBERTY 40 BONDS ARE At.
TRACTivE TO LARGE INVESTORS.

The erroneous impression has been
created that the new liberty loan 40
bonds are not attractive to persons
with any considerable income. 1t
should be understood that there are
two taxes, the regular normal income
tax, such as was paid last year, and
the additional tax, which is to be lev
led during the perod of the war.
For the following computation the
most unfavorable basis is used, that
is, it is supposed that war will last
five years, and furthermore, that the
government will retire the bonds at
the end of the ten year option. If the
war ends before five years, the return
is greatly improved, and If the gov.
eminent allows the bonds to run after
the option period, which will undoubt
eddy be the case, the yield will also
be improved. The method OF compu
tation is as follows. .lt. AZ
On an income of 100000 the pres
ent tax is 1920. The total tax, in
Guiding the special war tax, will be
16.43%. Thus for five years the bonds
would net the investor having 100000
income, 3.34%. For the five years

dried peas; cottonseed, peanut and
soy bean oil and meal; oleomargarln,
lard and similar fats; milk, butter and
cheese; condensed milk, fresh, canned
or cured meat; poultry and eggs; fish;
fresh fruits and vegetables; canned
vegetables, salmon and sardines; dried
fruits and sugar and syrups. Several
exceptions are mare, mostly in the
way of exempting small businesses
from the license requirements. All
the businesses that come under the
license rules will, naturally, be sub
ject to revocation of license and con-
sequent complete stOppage in case OF
|intractability.
The language of the government s
announcement points quite clearly to
a conviction on the part OF the food
administration that, despite gen.
eral willingness of food interests to
cooperate, nothing short of complete
government control can be relied upon
to suppress the protiteer. Expecta-
ton, or at least fear, of price trim
ming all along the line sent provisions
prices down sharply at Chicago; dealt
corn quotations stiff blow, and
caused a quick weakening in Mime
apolis -four figures. Rumors told OF
an impending adjustment Of corn and
pork prices, which necessarily would
have to be based on a reduction in
corn. TO this task it seems that the
food administration might well turn
it's hand. Though pork is bringing
figures unprecedentedly large, corn
has gone up so immoderately as to
destroy the economic balance between
the two Corn at its present figure
cannot be converted prOfitably into
pork. In the southwest wheat is be-
ing fed instead. The desirability OF
increasing the county's meat herds
is obvious. But it Is just US impossi-
BILE as it is desirable under present
conditions governing feed. +
No useful business need take alarm
at the form 'Of government tregula-
ton. The government cannot afford
to hamper such business and will not.
1t is to be hoped that the regulations
will be enforced with sufficient vigor
and intelligence to make an end Of
excessive profits. Everything accom-
plished along that line Is SO much net
gain for the country. 1T Is probable,
however, that for a time at least the
public will recognize government in
PREVENTION more by its steadying in
f1uence and its prevention of sky rock
citing than by any sharp and general
reduction of the altitudinOus cost OF
food.

following the bonds would net 3.e4%'
the war income tax being removed,
making a total income for the period
of $500 annually. So it will be seen
that even with a 100000 income
40 bond is a better purchase than a
3h% bond. On income OF lower
amount the income rate is higher, as
per the following table:
On an income Of $4,000, the income
for the ten year period is $500 an
nually.
On an income of 100000, the income
for the ten year period is 3.71%o an
nually.
On an income OF $4,000 the income
for the ten year period is $3.50 an
nually.
On an income of $4,000 the income
for the ten year period is $3.50 an
nually.
On an income of $4,000 the income
for the ten year period is 1870 an
nually.
On an income of $12,5O0 the income
for the ten year period is $500 an
nually.
On an income of $4,000 the income
for the ten year period is 1919 an
nually.
On an income of $500 the income
for the ten year period is 1880 an
nually. .,...
On an income of $4,000 the income
for the ten year period is 40 annually.
Furthermore, these bonds, being ex-
changeable' into the next loan, that
loan must, like the other loans, be sold
at par, so that this bond must con-
tinue to be worth par. For the above
reasons it seems wise for the holders
of 31s9o bonds, instead of exchanging
their bonds for the new 40 bonds,
that they offer their bonds for sale at
par and buy 40 bonds with the pro-
ceeds, thus largely increasing the sub
scriptiOns Of the present loan.
