EAT POPCORN

Popcorn is one of the purest of
foods. When the corn explodes from
heating, nothing is taken away and
nothing is added Popcorn is easily
digested and in fact will aid digestion
if eaten at the close of a meal For
a wheatless or meatless day, popcorn
will fill a long felt want and more
should be used. Corn is rough, good
for the digestive tract, and more
should be eaten.

The Vanished Village
Air: "The Old Oaken Bucket"
How dear to my heart are the scenes
Of my childhood
When fond recollections present
them to view.
The church and the store and the
school in the wildwood,
And all the loved spots that my in
fancy knew.
Last summer I wandered again to the
village,
But found not a neighbor of old or
his spouse.
The streets were deserted, the farms
needed tillage-
The town had been killed by the
mail-order house.
The village had vanished when mer
chants were banished;
The town had been killed by the
mail-order house.
But one lone survivor, as scared as a
rabbit
| found, and I asked why the vii
lage was dead.
"The town got the mail-order cata-
lOgue habit
And that was what killed it for
ever" he said.
'Tt was not war; epidemic or pillage.
No foeman'sI invasion or robbers ca
rouse.
The money that should have devel-
oped the village
Was sent away to the mail-order
The money we earned here it never
returned here,
When once it was sent to the mail
order house"

SPIKING THEIR OWN LIES

Now, if individual lying is a fine art,
as Swift contended, official lying is
something that has still more care
fully to be studied The danger is
that one official may expose another
The first one starts lie on it's travels
for certain purpose, and then the
second, when that purpose has been
served, comes out with a statement
which eats the other up. And it is a
curious fact that some of the most
damaging proofs Of German official
lies have been furnished by Germans.
There was, for example, the impudent
fiction, embodied in the German dec
laration of war upon France, that
French airmen had dropped bombs
upon Nuremberg. But it was from
the authorities in Nuremberg itself
that the evidence came which showed
the whole thing to be an unblushing
falsehood.
Other Germans are dealing with
other German lies in the same way A
member of the German general staff,
General Freytag-Loringhove has been
publishing an article on The First Vic
tories in the West He was loud in
praise Of the German strategy which
threw the French mobilization plans
into confusion by marching unexpect-
eddy through Belgium.
The question of law or morality was
not considered by this German officer,
but only the military astuteness of the
violation of Belgian neutrality. Gen
eral Freytag-Loringho is explicit
on the point that the French high
command was taken completely by
surprise, and that it was not till Au-
gust %, 1914, that the fifth army got
as far as the line Douai-Charleroi.
This article was published in the Co.
logne Gazette.
Yet the same German newspaper,
in the autumn of 1914, stated that
the government had information that
on August 1 the French had 10000
soldiers at Maubege, and as many
more at Givet ready to invade Ger
many by way of Belgium. That par
ticular lie, put about to justify the
Belgian outrage, is thus neatly spiked

eral Observation-Disclosures York

Thanksgiving Greeting

Once again the time has come,
Thanksgiving is drawing nigh;
The beautiful golden pumpkin,
And delicious pumpkin pie;
The turkey nicely browning
We now in fancy see,
With richness fully browning;
Some for you, some for me.
Remember our boys on the line
Who fight for you and me:
Send them something-make them
feel fine;
Cheer them onto victory.
Next we see the sumptuous dinner
Spread upon the festive board,
Bringing JOY to old and young
With thanks unto the Lord

On announcing his desire to visit
the grave of Rasputin the soldiers
demanded his passports Of the Asso-

led him to the kitchen entrance OF
the palace prison, which is the head

Behind the kitchen entrance
stands a complex system OF low
buildings built around courtyard
and ending in a series OF subterran-
can and semi-subterranean galleries,
running the whole way under the
palace The first of the two entries
leads under an arched portico into a
small. untidy courtyard surrounded
by one story buildings. At the sec

which, out OF the Eve regiments now
garrisoned in Esarskoe Selo, were

runs an interminable vaulted gallery
