always another crowd to start the
runnin' and the stampede is on, while
the few birds in the crowd that are

Right now, Billy, this country is

LITTLE JEFF EPiTOMlzES ON
SPANISH FLU AND DOUGHBoYS
Everybody Having It or Being &c.
cused of lt-FelIoWs Who Can
Keep Germs Out of Their Think
Tank Can Keep It Out Of
Their System

The following interesting letter
will be published in the Florida
Grower this week:
Little jeff on Spanish Flu
Dear Billy: OF course you've heard
that little old song the Tommys sing,
Are we down hearted?-NO-O-O-O."
They've been singin' it goin' on
Eve years, singin' it in the mud up
10 their middle, with coolies paradin
up and down their backs, with bullets
and baynets Dustin 'em on the bean,
and rip snortin' hell breakin' all
around EN-.
And our own doughboys are dom
the same thing singin' and laughin'
their way through hell, goin' over the
top with a grin on their map as con-
fdent as all outdoors.
OF course anyone of 'em Is liable
to get himself bumped off any min
ute, and many a guy sees his pal laid
out before the battles won, but they
carry on" and don't spend much
time fussin' and fretin' about what's
liable to happen to 'em or what the
wind up will be, and II you ask 'em
il they're down-hearted they'll al
ways answer, 100000"
It takes that kind of stuff to win
any kind Of scrap, Billy. The fell
low that steps into the ring with a
grin has got darn sight better
chance to win than the poor bird that
goes in scared stiff and shakin' all
over like an earthquake, that kind of
a bird is usually licked before he
starts and takes the count in the
first round.
The guy that can face danger or a
serious situation and keep calm and
cool is sure to take lot of tricks and
I'm for him, but the guy that can
stand up to them things with grin
and a song is sittin' on top of the
world and you just naturally gotta
take your hat off to him.
A lot of folks are alright and get
along fine as long as things hum
along as per usual, but when some.

JUNE is THE MONTH

To pizen bugs!
To watch things grow.
To march to "Lohengrin."
To fall out of the cherry tree.
To plant flower seed. Nothing
makes a home SC deserving of its
name.
To plant everything you didn't have
time to plant in April and May.
To justify the yellow-legged roost-
er's purpose in life by having the
preacher over next Sunday.
To build a house for the birds. They
are your friends and deserve your
care.
To renew acquaintance with the old
swimming hole, and surprise yourself
in learning how young you really are.
To NOW the lawn. Don't leave this
for your wife, for you'll probably sit
there more than she.
To SOW COW peas, foddercorn, mil
let and sorghum. Get that vacant
field to producing. Your country
needs it if you don't.
To go to bed at dark, sleep six hours
and have the cat birds wake you up.
Oh, my, if that corr just didn't have
to be plowed today!

industry of the ant, yet We do not like
her in the sugar.
Our brave boys in the trenches are
glad to get the stockings knit them
by loving hands, but it would be a
great shame for any of them to get
the "mitten."
Before you make a partnership with
any other fellow, look him over pretty
carefully. You do not want a kicker
nor a bitter nor a baker for a running
mate. Hitch up with a good square
man or pull in the harness alone.

NATION TO BE WHEATLESS
FOR TEN STRAIGHT WEEKS.

For ten weeks the nation is to be
on virtually a wheatless basis.
Squeezed down to 20 per cent OF
normal wheat supplies, the American
household must go virtually wheat
less until August Is, when the new
crop becomes available.
Food Administration officials are
quietly putting the program into eff
feet, it was learned officially. Every
fraternal society, church, Sunday
school and religious organization, has
been asked by Hoover to pledge each
of its members to abstain entirely
from the use of wheat until the new
CROP is out.
