FOOD ADMINISTRATORS.
TSiouS City Journal.


It is impossible for a national food
administration to satisfy everybody. II
is impossible for a national food ad-
ministration, after a certain period OK
organizing, to get all its work on
systematic, routine basis, like the re-
serve bank system, for instance, and
then operate as a part of the national
machine without obtruding on the ma
tional consciousness. The very essence
of a food administrator task is not
70 organize the nations food produc-
ton and distribution on perman-
emit basis, but to continually change
the basis by arbitrary methods as con-
ditions themselves change. Now it is
more imperative that this be done.
Rules must follow rules. and there
must be a verita BILE junkheap of used
and discarded regulations. Undoubted-
ly the most delicate and probably the
most fundamentally important of all
the civil problems of war time Is that
OF the food supply In America the
problem is complicated by the fact that
we must not only meet our own chang
ing and vital needs, but must also
meet consistently the needs Of our
allies The food administration Is en-
titled to more tolerance than any other
branch of the government. AS long as
it appears. on the whole, to be func-
tioning satisfactorily. no amount Of in
or even sacrifice should be
grunlbled at

Well, you should have heard the
steam whistle blow just as Uncle
Lucky stopped the Luckymobile from
slipping off the end of the bridge onto
the big steamboat packed crowded full
of little boys and girls on their way to
Crooney Island, as I told you in the
last story. And maybe If I'd had the
room you could have heard that whis-
tie. but l had to stop my story right
there, you see.
"Ship ahoy!" cried the pilot on the
big white steamboat, whose name was
Silver Swan" Don't you drop on my
boat or I'll have you arrested"
Il don't want to, Mr.. Captain said
Uncle Lucky, and he honked the
Luckymobile horn three times and a
half and then the captain OF the
White Swan blew his whistle, and
pretty soon the steamboat had passed
by. And 1t was mighty lucky it didn't
take very long, for the smoke from the
big smokestack almost choked the lit
tie rabbits. and some Of its got inside
of Uncle Lucky's goggles and almost
made him cry.
And as soon as the steamboat was
out of the way the bridge swung
around until both ends fitted nice and
smooth between the posts. and then a
little bell rang and the gate went up
and the Luckvmobile was safe once
more on Bunnybridge short. And pref
ty soon they came to a load Of hay, and
the road was SO narrow that there
wasn't really enough room to pass by.
But Uncle Lucky was in hurry. so he
squeezed the Luckymobile between the
bushes and the load OF hay. But. oh,
dear me. All Of a sudden. Just like
that. the hay all tumbled down on top

I hate all foes to my dying BREATH.
But to the mind Of the French poet

The Souls Of Two Nations.
by Earl Biggers, Author of Sew
Keys to Baldpate,


Speaking of Germans as who is
not these days?-a celebrated French
poet, Jean Aicard, has hit upon a
rather neat and happy figure Of speech.
In long and eloquent poem about
the war. after he has described how
the German horde, coming forward
with God" as they put it, swept down
on Paris, and has pictured them baf-
fed and beaten by the miracle of the
Marine he further recalls how "hav
ing prepared themselves In France a
terriers hole'-they
Tntrenched themselves therein defeat
ed. driven, hurled.
Back by the sword of France and
scorned by all the world
And then what happened? Let
Aicard tell It:
There. in their filthy holes. their
natural habitat
AS lives the hunted boar, the crouch
ing soldiers sat:
And, as a putrd pool exhales an evil
smell.
They poured their poIsonS Iorth
straight from the NAV OF hell.
Defiled the blue OF heaven and made
the virgin air
A party TO the crime they perpetratcd
there,
The choking gas that rose, mephitic.
from their holes.
Was very like the breath and odor Of
their souls"
Today we know only too well the
odor Of their souls, and we are deter
mined to send our men over to those
holes IN France, to dis!nfect them with
the only serviceable dis!nfectants-
the bayonet and the bullet. Everything
that keeps the odor strong IN our nos
trils will be Of help in the salvation
Of our country since it wifi Keep us
Arm in our determination to do or
die.
so one Is inclined 10 feel that Pro-
lessor n. G. Grumbine Of Clark Univer-
sity. VINO has recently translated into
very readable English the war poetry
OF France and Germany. has done this
country a patriotic service. Professor
Grlnrbtne knows that nowhere are the
ideals OF a nation more clearly reveal
ed than in its literature, and he adds
that literature IN Its purest form is
poetry. So he has gone to the poets OF
the two countries to discover what was
in their minds in the early days of the
war.
Wrote one enthusiastic bard:
''Hurrah, Hip. hurrah! Away with all
labor!
It IS war, Bloody war. Get your rife
and sabre!"
Rudolf Herzog wrote a dainty little
thing, urging the soldiers on-he was
evidently somewhere in the rear him
seh-and the refrain OF each verse
ran:
what though the earth Of he'll be fall,
Our steel shall cleave the foemans
skull"

MRS. HARRINGTON
GETS AUDITORIUM
Agrees with Selectmen as to
Lease for Year
at $1,000
WILL USE HOUSE
ONLY PART TIME
Bid by Lawler Brothers Was $4,000 for
Use Nearly Every Week -Day-Select-
men Think Saving in Operation Will
Exceed Difference.

Mrs. +. c. harrington gets the Audito-
RUIN. This mooted question of the past
several weeks was decided last night
at a conference between the selectmen
and Mrs Harrington and her counsel,
Frank f. Barber, in the selectmen's Of
fee. The rental is $1,000, for one year,
and is 10 begin Sept. Z
Mrs. Farrington's bid was the lowest
of the three bids before the selectmen,
the other bidders being Lawler Brothers
and John j. Leonard, but the selectmen
considered that the financial returns
under Mrs. Farrington's plan. light and
heat being considered, would be greater
under her bid than under any other bid.
That was the deciding factor.
The original bid by Mrs. harrington
was $1,000, the town to have the use Of
| the house whenever desired without pro
rata payment to the lessee, as provided
for in the blank lease recently drawn
iup by the town The bid by LawleT
Brothers was $1,000 pro rata rebates to
| be made i'm case of use of the house by
other parties Mr.. Leonard's bid and
one by +. J. Fenton, which was with
drawn few days ago, were a little less
than that of Lawler Brothers
Before closing the matter up Lawlel
Brothers were given an opportunity tc
increase their bid. but they decided that
So 900 was all that the probable return,
would warrant them in paying.
At the conference last night Mrs
harrington again outlined to the select
f,, h, IA,
lease. which is to conduct the Princes
moving picture theatre on Elliot stree
as heretofore. but to show in the Audito
rium the pictures for which an increase,
admission price is charged She ais
lpIans to meet whatever demand ther
may be for theatrical performances.
As the bids then stood the selectme
did not feel justified in giving her tn
lease. but after she had gradually in
creased the bid until it stood at $500
the selectmen called the deal CLOSED
They felt that the saving in fuel. ligh
and wear and tear. and possibly in jan
tor service, would more than offset til
difference between Mrs Farrington's hi
and that of Lawler Brothers, who woul
use the theatre about every afternoo
and evening except Sundays.
