A bucket of ashes (last year's) will
be given to any one who can not
guess them. There is too much over

not enough in the head somewhere
Governor Cox is certainly wonder

EXTRACTS FROM DIARIES

The 94-page booklet German War
Practices" published by the Commit
tee on Public Information, devotes
one section to extracts from German
war diaries, among them being the
following:
"A shell burst near the Eleventh
Company, and wounded seven men,
three very severely. At o'clock we
were ordered by the officer in COM
mand of the regiment to shoot all the
male inhabitants of Nomeny, because
the population was foolishly attempt
ing to stay the advance of the Ger
man troops by force of arms. We
broke into the houses, and seized all
who resisted, in order to execute them
according to martial law. The houses
which had not already been destroyed
by the French artillery and our own
were set on fire by US, so that nearly
the whole town was reduced to ashes.
1t is terrible sight, when helpless
women and children, utterly destitute,
are herded together and driven into
France" (From the diary of Pvt.
Fischer, Eighth Bavarian Regiment
of Infantry, Thirty-third Reserve Di-
vision.)

ISN'T 1T QUEER?

Not long ago at banquet in Mil
waukee, Mrs. Hopkins, sister-in-law
of Billy Sunday, gave toast entitled
isn't 1t Queer? which we publish
below:
Housewives save, save every crust,
It's save you will, and save you must,
For we're short of bread and we're
short of meat
And we're short of all that we need
to eat.
But isn't it queer, oh! isn't it queer
That we're long on tobacco and long
on beer?
Housewives save, save every crumb
Save every peach, save every plum
For we're short of corn and we're
short of wheat
And short of all that we need to eat
But isn't it queer, oh! isn't it queer
That we're long on tobacco and long
on beer?
Housewives save! 'Tis your country''
call !.
Save your potatoes, skins and all;
For we're short of sour and we're shor
of sweet,
And we're short of all that we need t.
eat. ~..
But isn't it queer, oh! isn't it queer
That we're long on tobacco and Ions
49, on beer? -. ...

BUT HE COULDN'T ENLIST

Christopher Brown walked into the
local recruiting station of the United
States Marine Corps at Philadelphia
and after announcing the fact that he
was from Braintree, said he wanted to
enlist.
"The idea of enlisting is a good
one," said the recruiting sergeant,
"but what is Braintree-a breakfast
food or an educational institution p
/ "It is town in Massachusetts,
only town in the United States that
ever produced two presidents" proud
ly replied Brown. John Adams was
born there and so was John Quincy
Adams. John Hancock was born
there too, as was Colonel Charles G
Long, chief of staff of the Marine
Corps. If you take me into the Ma
rine Corps / may. be running the thing
in year or two"
But Christopher Brown had fiat feet
and so can't be a U. S. Marine, al
though he finds comfort in the thought
that he may some day be president.

UNEXPECTED EFFICIENCY

In some Army and National Guard
camps contractors who undertook to
dispose of garbage at a price based
upon the amount they expected to get
are threatening to throw up their con-
tracts because the amount is so small.
The Surgeon Generals office and
the Quartermaster's department are
cooperating to secure the best nutri.
tion of soldiers with the least waste

struction in food values, balancing of
menus, and methods of cooking and
serving. At one camp conference of
this sort was attended by 750 cooGs,
mess sergeants, and mess officers.
The allowance provided by the
Army regulations is liberal and per-
mits of considerable savings. These
accumulate to the credit of the organ
ization if there is careful manage
ment.
