TO PASS FOOD LEGISLATION

Atlanta, June Ex-senator Hoke
Smith, here on a flying trip back to
Washington after his address at the
University Of Georgia at Athens. de-
clared in an interview that Congress
will unquestionably give the people
legislation which will protect them
against food and fuel prices boosted
by manipulation and speculation.
While he opposes certain features
of the pending food bill. he said:
1T can be accepted as absolutely
certain that we will have legislation
that will absolutely put an end to
speculation in and manipulation of the
prices of food and fuel"
Senator Smith objects to the pro-
posal to permit the fixing of maximum
prices on food products, and believes
that feature will be eliminated. He
paid high compliment to Herbert
I. Hoover whom the President has
selected for food director and said he
should be encouraged in every wav
possible.

And tells the war department
To hurry up the draft
Well, my olt man once said to

It's this same John P. Stubbleheld,
With neither chick nor child.
Who hates the Germans with hate
That's very hot and wild.

For that is only fair
But do not hate them half as much
AS | hate John P. there.
Now Lord forgive such thoughts,

Did your boy go to camp today?
Then up goes John P. Stubblcfeld,
To the courthouse on the hill
To kick about his taxes
While your son goes to drill
And when the transports loaded.

THE SONG OF HATE

Now wealthy John p. StubblehcId
Has neither kith nor kin,
But he often speaks about the blood
Well pay the Germans in.
Then up goes John T. Stubblcfcld
To the courthouse on the hill
To kick about his taxes
While your son goes to drill.
And John T. stands where he can
see,
And hollers: Give EN- hell for
mel"
Now this same John p. Stubbleheld
Was young i'll Ninety-eight,
And hated Spain and Spaniards
With a very savage hate
Yes, this same John Stubbleheld
With wrath was most insane,
So some of us went marching off
To help avenge the Maine.
And John p. stood where he could
see,
And hollcrcd Give EN- hell for
mew
Well, this same John =. Stubblefeld
He started up store,
And he was getting good and rich
When we came back from war.
And some of us were broke and sick.
And all were mighty slim,
But John p Stuhbleheld was glad
We gave EN- hell for him.
And my old man. he said to me,
Hes like his Pa in Sixty-threer'
Now that's been nineteen years ago,
And John P.'S rich as mud.
But somehow he can't get away
From that strange lust for blood.
He hated MeXicanS awhile,
And yelled when Company B
Went hiking off to Mexico;
Boys, give EN- hell for met
And John p. bid on army shoes
As soon as he received the news!
So this same John z. Stubble6eld
Is hating of the Huns;
He says he's sorry he can't send
A half dozen sons.
Then UP goes John T. Stubbleheld
To the courthouse on the hill
To roar about taxation
AS your boy goes to drill.
He raves about the korrid Hun.
While your son Tugs nine-pouud
gunl
Yes, this same John z. Stubblc6eld
Makes speeches by the yard;
lie criuciSes oogrcssmen,
And criticiScS hard
He wears flag upon his coat
There's flags around his store;
He's raised the price OF wooden yarn
Because OF this here war
My wife is knitting sox these
days
That's how kow about that
raise
When some one said we all should
save
Who was the first to send
A letter to the papers
Advising folks to spend2
For saving would hurt business
In saving panic turks
Why, This same John p Smbble6eld--
Then he laid off fifty clerks
And atty clerks at clip,
While your son studies marks
manShip"
Yes, this sane John r Stubbledeld,
He burns with righteous rage.
He storms about the income tax
And cuts has chauffeur's wage

Efforts OF Workers We're Success
fui.
The Y. M. G. A. campaign came to
formal close last night. when the
last reports were made by the CAM
paign workers. Not a great deal Of
money was turned in, but the attend
ance showed that interest was kept
up to the end.
The campaign has been a success.
MIIe young men have been secured as
members than ever before, about two
hundred and fifty names Of new MEM
bers and renewals having been turned
in during the campaign. Many of the
new men have signified their inten-
tion Of joining classes in the gymnas-
ium and an increased interest, is ex-
,pected there as result of the cam
paign.
Although not as much money was
secured in the campaign proper. as
was secured In former years. more
was secured when it is considered that
$3.50 was pledged on Sunday after-
noon, which was not counted in as
part of the campaign money In
the campaign s1,1S3.00 was taken in,
which Is less by about $50 than was
taken In last year. However, last
year the special committee secured
$1,755 outside of the campaign mem
berahip fees OF 1905. making a total
Of ss,os1.0o.. which is es2s7.5O less
than was taken in this year in the
special committee campaign, which
secured $545.O0. the $1,57O.0O pledged
Sunday afternoon and the campaign
membership fees. This year the
amount pledged is thought to be more
than that pledged last year in the
campaign.
