Let Your Light Shine
On The City Town Clock.

Since the town clock has been re-
paired and newly painted in a stylish
sea green, it is the admired of all ad-
mirers in town.
It is not going wrong to say the
town clock on St. Anne's steeple has
more people gaze on its face in a
single day, than any one of the Annap-
oils beauties.
But, there Is another side to the
question. No one can gaze on the
clock and see its delicate hands at
night. Even if it is moonlight some
of the keen-eyed ones must strain their
eyes to see the time when the moons 3
rays are directly on the clocks face.
1t goes, without saying therefore,
that an electric light is needed above
the town clock, in order that those
who run may read the hours of the
night as well as of the day. An elec-
trio light on the clock around st.
Anne's steeple would be a great thing
for Annapolis people who like to be al
ways "on time. and who are in the
habit Of taking time by the forelock.

IMPERTINENT REFLECTIONS.
Dedicated without The Least Respect
To Danny Deeyer And Others.

What aiIs those Kentish Islanders ?"
said Susan on parade,
See how they's dancing up and down,
and yelling!" Susan said.
what makes them laugh and shout
with glee?' said Susan on parade,
Its just because they've done us up
the War Department said.
For they won't give up Kent Island
"They do not care at all,
They say that home has value more
Than governmental call;
And they put the thing they value
most
Ahead of country, darn the cost,
And they've won, because they're
Men, down on Kent Island!"
H.
Il value human liberty" said Susan
on parade,
This is no time to ask for the gay
police Judge said,
But picketing is legal" said Susan
on parade,
You'll find it ain't--in Occoquan,"
the smiling justice said
For we want the women's money,
And we like to see them can,
But liberty's a hollow term,
Unless it's meant for man!
If Kent Island had a populace
OF women, meath the ban,
Sure you'd hear the canon
Sounding there by morning!"
III.
what makes those Western miners
striker said Susan on parade.
"Oh, just because they're
/ Won't Works. the irate public said.
Il thought it was the 'rustling card*,"
said Susan on parade.
'eThe Anaconda Copper Co won't
bend" the public said.
"For the President of the company
He doesn't care at all,
He says the government won't have
Its shipments in the fall,
And that copper ore can fall to bits,
And that they will give those miners
fits,
Though the Huns may be the gamers
in the morning!"
~.
Il do not see the sense of things
said Susan on parade,
"Or why it is that when men pick, it
seems o. X" she said.
"or when we women help them pick" :"
said Susan on parade
ITO help what men want done along
the thoughtful picket said
.sIf It's right TO kick when Won are
men,
But wrong for folks like US.
The morals very evident,
tt pays to make a fuss,
And seven more suffrage States and
a Suffrage Committee in the House
of Representatives
Since we started picketing last Janu-
airy are no indication
That we're losing ground,
So it pays TO carry banners in the
morning.

Near-Potato Comind.

Enter the imitation potato! It is called the dasheen, is a member of the tuber family and flourishes in Trini- dad. Recently the dasheen has been introduced into the South. and 1t is expected that cultivation of the plant will help to cut down the cost of high living, as represented in the potato.
 A frostless season of seven months Is required to grow the dasheen. which cannot be cultivated farther north than South Carolina. As m ar licle of food it is said tO have less wa ter than the potato, and increased pro- tein. starch and sugar. These qualities would be likely to render It even more palatable than the familiar potato, and We may soon be confronted with res- taurant bills reading: "Dasheen Lyon- naise" or "Dasheen la O'Bricn."
