TOO MODEST IN HIS CLAIM
Frenchman Had Only Asserted He
Could Speak English, but He Could
Do Better.


A French soldier who came
proudly up to an American in GER
tain headquarters town the other
day, asked:
"You spik French?"
"Nope," answered the American,
'snot yet"
The Frenchman smiled compla-
Gently.
"Aye spik Eengleesh," he said.
The American grinned and the
.Frenchman looked about for some
means to show his prowess in the
foreign tongue. At that moment a
French girl, very neat and trim in
her peaked hat, long coat and high
laced shoes, came along. The French
man jerked his head toward her,
looked knowingly at the American
and said triumphantly: "Cheeken."
The American roared. "Shake,"
he said, extending his hand. "You
don't speak English; you speak

GREAT DEMAND FOR POPCORN
Short Crop Last Year Has Almost
Exhausted Reserve Supply in
the United States.

The enormous increase in demand
and short crop last year has almost
completely exhausted the reserve sup
ply of popcorn in the United States.
In previous years, the reserve has al
ways been maintained. In 1915 the
popcorn raiser sold his 1915 crop. In
1915 he sold his 1914 crop, etc. But
now that reserve is gone, and the 1917
crop is on the 1913 market months be-
fore 1t would be marketed normally.
And popcorn that usually brought two
cents per pound in the field two years
ago is. now bringing five and six cents,
and may, double in price within the
next year.
The 1917 crop will be barely suffi-
cient to supply the country's demand
for this delicious CONNECTION until
new crop is harvested. But the price
of corn in the field Is bound to in
crease materially. ,a-
Until a few years ago the average
man gave little thought to 'the corn
that pops" He looked upon popcorn
