had dream about my pal
The one that's over there.
thot he told old Kaiser Bill
A few things To make him swear
/ Tie said odd Bill. now listen here.
/ For You know you've raised the
deuce
Aud Uncle Sam Al last is cross.
So he has turned us loose
I He's sent ten million man-huuting
hounds.
, To find your blood trail.
And when they find it. Kaiser Bill.
Youll feel their deadly hail.
And when they get the range. Old
Bill.
II will be too late for YOU 10 repent,
For they're going 10 push YOU mighty
hard.
And you'll get the full extent.
You know Uncle Sam gave you a
chance.
But Won Hindenburg made poor
reply.
50 | think here's just one chance
for YOU.
And that's for your people to watch
YOU die.
For our boys are going to hem you
in,
While our Airmen drop bombs from
the sky.
I'd love to see YOU when YOU fall.
And see the look on your face
For the horror your soldiers see
written therein.
viii sure bring them all TO dis.
grace
don't know what they'll do with
YOU.
But it's certainly hard 10 tell.
For the Heavenly doors are closed
above.
And they won't have you in He'll.
Old Nick says ne has dealt with
men.
That have committed some bloody
crimes.
But he says YOU are far worse than
them.
And you're too far behind the times
For You belong in Nero's class.
And those old time lsraelites,
For they didn't think of starving
people,
When in bloody and brutal fights.
It must be an awful feeling. Bill
When even the Devil turns you
down.
For he said There's no one living
or dead
That can beat your ugly frown"
SO Kaiser Bill. the jig IS up,
And all that's left is despair.
But the Devil wants you to remem.
Der him.
With lock or two of your hair.
For every time he looks at II.
It's sure to make him swear.
Our battleships are ready. Bill.
And our U-Boat chasers have power.
While the airmen are soaring up
and down.
And our soldiers await the hour.
SO it looks pretty tough for you,
Old Bill.
But it's just what you deserve,
For you've got to face Old Uncle
SAM
And the boys with the Yankee
Nerve.
So after all these years you've tried
And your people have heard you
brag,
Now you've got to face the Stars
and Stripes,
And the worlds most powerful
flag

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder~
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for Less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread and the British government is
paying $2O0,oO000O a year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern.
ment at a price that allows the adUl'
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound Loaf at s.
cents.
In France, under conditions some:
what similar, but with larger ex-;
traction, the four pound loaf sells fori
16 cents.

CORN WILL WIN
DEpa0CRACY,'S uAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.
MAINSTkY IN NATIONS CRISIS.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 1900, 900 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials Of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a ST. te Of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when com
bincd with an added portion Of oil Or
fat, Will sustain life indefinitely. Ia
dian warriors in colonial days lived Or
Darched corn alone for many days ut
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the miilers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels Of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations snain-
stay in the crisis Of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War Of the Rev
Olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many Of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. core meal with wheat
flour to make iesvened bread. This
kind of mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread
Corn bread-us5lg corn meal entire
ly-iS gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives j., are
coming to realize chat every pound OF
wheat saved in America means Il pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is aSsOci-
ated in the war
There are a score OF corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes ana buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead Of
granulatcd sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying aad Cor

is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.

Made GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cOrding to an official statement re-
ceivcd from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
ADMINISTRATION.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administers
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blUeing famine fakes and the report
thai the government would seize
housewives stocks Of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts Of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
emit Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
Of food control.
1T lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"

need BIG Herds
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock It Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
lnendOuS demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
.afterWard.
The United States food admins
tratiOn reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
'creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
'tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in EnglaRd-where 240O, 900
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One OF the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, $160S; jan
larry, $1440. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible
In France the number Of cattle as
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war
Wnere France had 1A,S07 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 12,-
341 900, a decrease Of 1876 per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack Of necessary feed
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministratiOn that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather tnan in the pro-
ductiOn of cereals for export when
the wa will have ceased.

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
fishing dishes, according to E. Fl. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end witt the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while to
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as fla
voring for other food In making up
meatless menus this authcr finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
@ broad field for investigation.
