Evening Chat

Some folks I'D try to make We b'leav,
This world wuz full o. sorrow,
That, likliest thing that ever wuz.
Ye'd die afore tomorrow,
That all the joy and sunshine here,
Was fer folks UP above,
That common mortals never share,
The Fathers heavenly love,
That everything we do or say,
Is something that We shouldn't,
And everything We don't do,
Is q sin, Though p'raps we couldn't,
That stayin' home from meetin'
Just to help a needy soul,
Is Just one way o. cheatin',
Yer self out o yer goal
Well, If l had to live and think,
Like them folks thinks Is right
No sunshine er no gladness.
Er no happiness-GooD NIGHT!

OPPORTUNITY FOR BRAINS,

Floyd P. Gibbons. an American
correspondent. writing
from London appeals to American
brains to devise some method of
combating the U-boat menace. Mr..
Gibbons says the submarine is caus-
ing Great Britain real concern and the
British are beginning to admit that
Germany's undersea campaign is at
present the one real obstacle between
the allies and victory"
The best brains in the entente ma
tions have grappled with the problem
in vain. The best that can be done is
to arm the merchantmen and attempt
to build ships faster than Germany
can sink them. Mr.. Gibbons says:
The allies are looking toward
young American brains in the hope
that some new Edison. Telsa,
Maxim, Ford. or Westinghouse
will pave the way to allied victory
and deprive Germany Of her last
prop.
Here is a challenge which should
stir the ambition of Americas young
brains. The man who can invent a
device which will put the U-boat out
of business will win a great place in
history.

the country.
We are at war. War means that
home ties must be severed-at least
for a time-possibly forever. That is
the unpleasant but unavoidable truth
which every American must face.
Facing it, realizing something Of
what we are about to go through,
Americas peaceful, happy, joyous
home-life will be appreciated as never
before. Mother, who is the very en-
bodiment of the American home, should
and will find new note in the homage
which her sons and daughters will pay
her this year.
What American, facing the grim
reality Of the morrow, will not feel a
catch in his throat, new and tenderer
thought of the happy, care-free life of
his boyhood as he recalls the memory
of Mother.
The day is observed by letter, gift
or the wearing Of a floral token.
Wouldn't it be a nice thing for your
mother, if she would receive, a week
from Sunday, a little floral tribute, or
letter, or both? There is time for her
to hear from you.

WHOLE PEOPLE ON
RATIONS' SYSTEM
Cessation of Hollands I'm
ports Forces Strict
Distribution.
(By Associated Press.

The Hague, Netherlands, May a.
Nearly all Holland has been put on a
system of government rations because
of the virtual stopping of grain inn
ports from America as result of the
ruthless submarine warfare and the
poor crops of potatoes and other vege-
tables. The entente allies had long
since put in use system of rationing
the Hollanders in the matter OF grain
imports but now the halt in the move-
ment OF all shipping has caused vir-
tual cessation of all imports.
A breadcard system had been in eff
feet since February. Under the new
plan, potato and rye -four is mixed
with American -four, effecting an
economy Of more than so per cent in
the consumption of wheat. Owing to a
shortage of the stocks of potatoes, the
allowance has been reduced and pota-
to-less days have been established.
The monthly ration Of peas and beans
to each person amounts to a little
more than one pound.
The other prime necessities of life
that are under direct government con-
troll are being distributed to each
community according to the number
of it's inhabitants, the local authori-
ties then dividing the supplies among
the individuals.
Holland is beginning to follow the
example of Germany in establishing
central kitchens. The principal one
thus far put into operation is at Rot
terdam. 1t provides about a quart of
warm food for sum equal to four
American cents. When prepared the
food is rapidly transported to seven
teen parts of the city where distribu-
ton is made.
Food and hunger demonstrations
occur occasionally. In these Socialists
are active in bringing the needs of the
people to the attention Of the govern
ment officials.
