THE RED, WHITE AND THE BLUE.

Who would dare to doubt America
When Americans are near
Who would dare that dear old flag
That all Americans love so dear
O, could there be a Stacker here
With American blood untrue,
Who would not heed his country's call
To the red, white and the blue?
0, American boys think of the deeds
Your forefathers have done
O, American boys, think of the fame
True American courage has won
Think how their wives and children shed
Their American blood SO true
Yet hearts beat warm as ever
For the red, white and the blue.
O. American boys, think what it means
When old glory is unfurled
In majestic silence though she speaks
OF democracy for the world
When kings thrones no more shall be
And earls and counts be few
And all the mighty nations cheer
The red, white and the blue

The confusion that has come upon
the world could not have befallen, I
think, If there had been any fair rep
resentation Of tho aristocratic atti-
tude toward life in the centers Of
great business in Europe and Amer
ca. What was needed was public
minded men-men who instinctively
used their own lives and fortunes to
underwrite the life and fortune Of
the public-in the great credit cen

Bookman. And It appears that at this
moment there Is no possible escape
from the confusion-that we shall 60

NEEDED: 4 JUNK DICTATOR.

NEEDED: - JONN OIC JAIO6.
The proposal that the national
council Of defense appoint q junk die
tator is not a joke, unless q matter Of
81, 500. O00, 900 is joke. The amount Of
valuable material wasted in the United
States annually aggregates that amaz-
ing sum, because Americans threw
away what they cannot use, but what
someone else could. Scrap iron, other
metals, rags (both cotton and woolen),
rubber, paper Of all sorts, bags and
bagging, glass, even broken glass, all
can be utilized. Such materials are
transformed into articles different
from those in which they were orig
inally a part, but important in these
days Of shortage Of raw materials,
says Boston Globe. When America
was getting rich quick our junk heap
was a symbol Of our wealth. Today
when the drain Of war is upon us
the junk heap must be made to serve
the country. Just like the back yards
and the preserving kettles. An organ
ICED system for the collection of the
waste products Of everyone has be-
come imperative. Almost everything
that is thrown out with the ashes in
an average home could be sold to the
junk dealer. Tin foil and lead foil are
really valuable. The tubes In which
tooth paste, shaving paste and toilet
preparations are contained could help
to save the country. The junkman
should be made q national servant.
Those who help him in his trade are
helping in the war.

our Aiiirs' FOOD PERIL

MILLIONS Of bushels Of grain On
IVA route to our Allies have been
sunk by German submarines in the past
few weeks. Copying tsss Englsh b'un-
der that at first kept al possible war
news from the people and thereby cost
that country dearly, this administration
here in our land, using the same foolish
policy of secrecy failed to disclose this
grain loss, which the Germans knew,
and consequently the people have not
been aroused to an appreciation Of the
awful peril that is facing both our Al
hes and ourselves.
Read these fearful words of warning
openly spoken the other day in the
British Parliament by a member:
ssFamine is creeping across the CONT
nent !" Not only is Germany, the
author of all this horror of War and
Hunger, justly suffering dreadfully,
but Belgium, Italy, France and even
England are also feeling the food pinch
being forced to ration themselves down
to bedrock.
Then in Heavens name let US wake
up +! For if our Allies run out Of food
they must succumb to the raveninR
Hun, and in a short while thereafter
that angry wild beast will be tearing al
our threats with thousands Of German
American traitors to help.
So let US cheerfully, aye joyfully,
make our little sacrifice for Humanity
and our native land, by eating for tev
days yet ''Victor" bread, and then no
wheat bread at all for possibly ter
months or more, never forgetting thai
there are worse things than corn bread
potatoes and rice-German lead AM
cold steel, for instance. When Ger
many is reduced to Is per cent of it
usual food ration we surely can TO
awhile give up our wheat loaf only.
