We are getting up a new war relief.
1t is relief for ultimate consumers
During the period of the war.
The main object is to teach grocers
How to read the English language.
For a couple of weeks the newspapers
Have been telling of the crash in
The egg market, and how prices have
Been shot all to pieces.
Inc papers have said that the retail price
Has fallen Z cents a dozen,
And is now around Al cents
After two full weeks of this
We tried three grocers for eggs
Ihey all asked 70 cents u dozen.
We told them about the newspaper reports
And they all said they never read the pa
pers.
One of them admitted that he couldn't read.
1t looks as tho the time had arrived
To do something about this.
Won Hindenburg. where are you at?
ON. why so shy and pensive?
We haven't seen your ugly mug
Since you announced, in manner SNUG,
Your awful spring offensive.
A New York man, trying for citi-
zenship the other day, spelled cat
with *" Probably he was trying
to spell ''kulture." At any rate he
wasn't admitted

If the battle now in progress on the
western front shall mark the end of
the war. as has been suggested by
some, then the performance of Gen
eral Marshalrs army at Hit, in Mes
opotamia may prove to be of little
consequence. But if the war shall
continue for many months. the British
victory may be productive of far
reaching results. The capture of the
Turkish army at Hit seems to open
the way for an ultimate junction with
Allenby's forces in Palestine and an
onward sweep toward Constantinople.
Allenby already has left Jerusalem
fifty-fiv miles in his rear.

The Vaterland, one of the German
interned ships and the largest ship
afloat, is now in the United States
service renamed the Leviathan. Amer
leans are said to be able to operate
this ship at a higher rate of speed
than the Germans were able to do and
do this with 200 tons of coal less day.
The Leviathan has one American cap
tain in place of five German captains
of the Vaterland. and one American
chief engineer instead of a chief engi-
neer and five assistants that German
efficiency required.

GLOBE SIGHTS
IFrom the Atchison

(From the Atchison G1obe.1
If you want to be censured, do
something decent.
Ordinarily the least surprising
thing is a surprise party.
However, even honest fishermen are
tempted to lie once in a while
A woman's work is never done, be-
cause she is always looking for more
work to do.
A man who worries good deal
about getting his salary raised. sell
dom worries enough about earning it
Courtesy is a fine thing, but it must
be backed by efficiency. Beg par
dom becomes a thin covering for one
mistake after another.
A woman who has/had three hus-
bands, and should know says: the
more humble the lover the more
domineering the husband.

The strike in Kansas City appears
to have been entirely unnecessary.
1t was started by the laundry drivers.
There was nothing to prevent the en-
ployers from granting their demands,
unjust tho those demands may have
been, and charging the additional ex-
pense up to the customers. For losses
in money, occasioned by strikes. the
public finally pays and it might as we'll
do it first as last.

The war has resulted in the addition
of many articles to the list of human
foods. Among the latest are smoked
shark and ostrich eggs. The market
for ostrich eggs is said to be good and
promises to be the salvation of the
ostrich farmers, who find the demand
for feathers greatly reduced.

The president did not find it neces-
sary to issue a proclamation putting
in effect the daylight saving plan.
What he said about it, in effect, was,

at times, but congress and certain Of
ficials never lose an opportunity to
give them a whack.

when well-known New York man
approached him and asked for a pass
to his show.

Hitchcock.

Hitchcock borrowed an immense
