HOW sTRAYFooT SETTLED DOWN

"Strayfoot" was his title, Pete McGin-
mis- was his name.
Got his title from the home-folks in
the old town whence he came.
Saw some service on the border, once
he'd crossed the Rio Grande
When the greasers started trouble in
that hell-infested land.
Failing there to ease the hunger of
his vagrant soul to roam,
Got discharged, and paid visit to
the old folks back home.
Stayed single day, then drifted from
the quiet Kansas town,
And his people sighed and wondered
if he'd ever settle down
Like festered scar, cut deeply, in
the troubled face of France,
Stretched trench where weary "poi-
lus" waited orders to advance.
Gray the day and gray the spirits of
the men who formed the line,
Naught but hope for France and free
dom kept their faces to the Rhine.
Caked with mud, his beard in stubble,
gone his old-time smile and brag,
Strayfoot's heart ached for vision of
his country and his flag.
Meanwhile gossips back in Kansas in
a little crossroads town,
Wondered at his prolonged absence
wondered if he'd settled down.
March passed in sullen deadlock in
that tense and grewsome game,
Move and counter-move in order left
wars chess board just the asme
Hindenburg, somewhere in Flanders
moved his bishop king and pawn
Vainly striving for a "checkmate,
while a breathless world looked
Came the day, the sixth of April, when
the news reached Strayfoot's ear
Woodrow Wilson signs the war bill
U. S. troops will soon be here"
While girl in far-off Kansas heard
the news with worried frown,
where, oh, where, is Pete McGinnis
Will he ever settle DOWN."
Suddenly the fog banks lifted and the
Germans got the range,
Then, from weeks of trench stagna
ton, came a swift and tragic
change.
Bursting shell and poisoned gases fol
the Teutons cleared a path,
Swept the field and choked the
trenches with the victims of theil
wrath.
Retreat" the order sounded, sharI
above the shrapnels whine,
Each man out and take your chances
till you reach the second line"
At about this time in Kansas, some
where in a little town,
A mother prayed that Strayfoot woulC
come home and settle down.
Strayfoot did not hear the order, but
if hearing, did not heed,
For his eyes were on the Boches com
ing on with quickened speed.
With his automatic popping through
the smokes confusing veil,
Sought to stem the awful torrent o
that enfilading hail.
Two hours later, cheering poilus, win
ming back their precious ground
Stumbled on the lone defender, bleed
ing from a fatal wound,
And they wired, at his dictation, to
little Kansas town,
stopped a southbound German bull
let. Tell the bunch I've settled
down."
Out in Kansas, where the sunflowers

Economy Report Shows Bread

Hotels

Hotels in New York have been re-

cordlng to figures gathered by Lucius
p. Brown, director of pure food ana
drugs for the Health Department, VINO
has been making an inquiry INTO the
food wastage IN the city. One hotel
last month received more than Sl,OOO
for bread and butter alone, Director
Browns report shows.
Residents in Harlem waste almost
twice as much food as those on the
lower East Side, according to the re-
mort In the section between 1lOth and
l55th Streets, LcnoX Avenue and the
North River, with an estimated popu-
lation of 23i,74S, $40 loads of food were
thrown away as garbage during last
month. In the district bounded by
Broome Street, East Twelfth Street,
Lafayette Street and the East River,
with a population of 444,62l, only 297ls
loads OF food were carted away as
garbage during the same period.
Hotels and restaurants report that
their greatest waste is in milk, cream,
butter and eggs, due to the demand for
fancy pastry. The report shows many
hotels have discarded table d'hote
menus for d la carte service on account
of the high cost of foodstutfs. One
hotel has reduced its waste bread from
one barrel a day to one barrel a week.
Another hosiery issues potatoes TO its

chairman Sunk

Paris, May IA. Seventeen French
merchantmen were sunk by German
submarines during February, March
and April, according to an official state
ment issued to-day. In the same period
nine French vessels were attacked by
underwater craft, but escaped. No
armed merchantmen have fallen prey to
the U-boats
The statement says:
Statistics for the first three months Of
Germany's unrestricted submarine cam
paign, as far as they concern the French
merchant marine. show the following re-
suits:
February Sunk. attacked and escaped.
March Sunk. . attacked and escaped. ..
April sunk. 5 attacked and escaped, 9.
Armed merchantmen have IN every case
escaped from submarines.
During this period French patrol boats
have had twelve engagements with sub
marines. French hydro-airplanes have
fought them thirteen times, and there have
been sixteen engagements between armed
merchantmen and submarines.
The above statement lifts the veil
which has covered the French losses
since early in the intensified submarine
campaign and dissipates rumors that
they had been much heavier.
The British weekly statements have
covered only the losses of British ton
mage. and critics of the Admiralty have
repeatedly charged that these were far
from being the whole story Of U-boat
successes

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 23.-lmproved con ditions as to the amount of vessel room available for shipments to Europe helped lift wheat prices today. he market closed firm to cents net higher. with July at 2:14 and Septei.. Der at s1.87 Corn finished A off to 5s up: oats down 4 to F and provisic ranging from 10 decline to ries of -1 cents.
 It took but little buying to bring about advances in the wheat market. The fact that offerings from the new crop were for the most part somewhat above the current level of prces gave an advantage to the bulls. 1t was said also that Canadian holders were firm. In addition to reports of an easier out look for d safficiency of ocean tonnage, the chief encouragement to purchase came from official predictions of an unexpectedly small crop in Kansas
 Week end reelizing of profits for holders wiped out nearly all of an ad- vance which the corn market scored q a result of unfavorable weather Ex- port demand was good and offerings t. arrive from the country were light. Oats parelleled the action of corn, eX- cellent crop reports proved rather more than an offset for signs of an active call from the seaboard.
 Increased cash demand lifted pork above even yeserday's new high price record Lard and ribs, however, were inclined to sag.
