A School Boys Complaint.

We're eating rye bread at our house
With corn bread on the side;
We've corn meal mush at breakfas
time,
At noon we have it fried.
We eat no meat, we eat no wheat,
And We'll soon form the habit
OF eating carrots every day,
Just like a doggone rabbit.

Better Buy War STAMPS.

An exchange contains these
beautiful lines:
There was very foolish man
And he bought a foolish block
Of Yaki Hula common
A foolish mining stock.
And now he dimes on field mice
And pals with other tramps,
Which ne'er would have happend
If he had bought War Savings
Stamps.

MOTONO OUT OF
JAPANESE CABINET
Minister For Foreign Affairs Resigns,
Probably Because of Interven-
ton in Siberia.

London. April 24.--Viscount Mo-
tono, Japanese minister for foreign
affairs, has resigned, says a Reuter- S
dispatch from Toxic.
The question of Japanese interven-
ton in Siberia probably led to the
withdrawal of Viscount Ichiro Mo-
tono from the foreign ministry of
which he had been the head since
November, 1916, when Count Terau-
chi formed the present cabinet There
have been reports recently that Wis
count Motono might reign in connec-
ton with the Siberian situation but
explanations for such action were
scant. ..#
+ VisGount Motono, who .wtS.~,. given
his present title in July, 1916. was
Japanese ambassador to Russia pre-
*ious to his elevation to the foreign
ministry. Since his graduation from
the University of Lyons, France, he
has been connected with the Japan
ese foreign office and has served as
minister to Belgium and minister to
Franco.
Niscount Motono Will be succeeded
by Baron Coto, who has held several
portfolios and is d member of the ma
tional commission appointed last
year for the discussion of Japan S
foreign policy.

Gently assigned to a. special detail for

second company, Sixth United States
Marine Corps, somewhere in France
Lieutenant Eddy had a standing of

two others.
While on observation in the trench
es, Lieut.. Eddy had numerous thrill
ing experiences, to which he briefly
refer sin letter received here. He
was only a short distance from a spot
where a German shell dropped. For
tunately the time fuse on the shell
did not operate and there was no ex-
plosion from the concuSsion. Another
time a soldier almost within arms
reach was picked off by an enemy
sniper.
To many it will be a great surprise
to learn that the marines are numer-
GUS in the front line Of trenches.
Many of the marine corps companies
have been drilled as infantry organ
izations, specially for trench work. At
the time of writing Lieut.. Eddy was
about to lead his platoon into the
trenches for his first actual trench
war work.

In one second it seemed as if every

had been heightened by a contro-
versy over land property in Canada.
