WE'RE IN THE ARMY NOW.

No more ham, eggs or bacon,
When the bugle blows for chow,
No more apple pies or dumplmgs
For we're in the army now;
And they feed us beans for breakfast
And at lunch we get them, too,
And at night they fill our tumbler
With the good old army stew.
No more fixes, beer or highball
When we've got an awful thirst;
If you are thinking of enlisting
Better get used to water first,
For the lid is on tight all over
And the drill makes us warm,
But we can't cool off with liquor
Cause we wear the uniform.
No more silk shirts or linen,
We all wear the 0. D. stuff;
No more night shirts or pajamas,
For our pants are good enough;
No more feather tick or pillow,
But we are glad to thank the Lord
That we've got a cot and blanket
When we might have just board.
Yes, they feed US beans for breakfast
And at night they fill our stomachs
With the good old army stew;
But, by Jinks! we'll lick the Kaiser
When the sergeant teaches how.
For, hang him, he is the reason
We are 10 the army now

ion, has called a mammoth confer
ence of wheat growers to be held in

into the cost of growing wheat.
Farmers organizations in Kansas.
Nebraska, the Dakotas, Missouri,
Iowa, Illinois, Montana, Oklahoma
and Texas will send delegates to the

Grain growers must have a high

FEW PERSONS APPEAL TO
PRESIDENT FOR EXEMPTION

to send very few questionnaires tc
the president after they have been
returned here from Wichita. A
rather peculiar case came up today
The appeal board at Wichita refused
to grant an appeal of a Talmage boy
and the boy then wished to appeal to
the president. When the question
naire was sent to Wichita, however,
all the facts were not included and
if a41 president refuses to grant the
appeal, the QUESTIONABLE will again
be sent to Wichita.
One man wished to appeal after
his time was up and became mighty
huffy when the board informed him
that ''it can not be done"

DICKINSON FARMERS GET
TING BUSY NOW.

Sowing of oats has begun on Dick
inson county farms, especially in the
eastern portion, and the acreage this
year will be far larger than ever be-
fore. Preparations also are being
made for corn planting, which will be
on a large scale, and a number of
farmers will put in spring wheat.
The winter wheat crop has come thru
the dry weather in fair shape. 1t
had been practically without moisture
since planted until a week ago, when
an inch of rain fell The last previ-
GUS rain was in October, and the in
teryening snowfalls yielded only
three-tenths of an inch of moisture
Only few fields will be plowed up,
however, to be replanted in corn or
spring wheat Many persons in Abb
lene are preparing for the spring gar
dens.

CAN'T SELL FLOUR AT ALL
IL NO SUBSTITUTES GO TOO

Retailers who are unable to get
substitutes to sell with their wheat
flour must not sell any flour at all,
Walter 7. Innes. U. S. Food Admin
istrator for Kansas, said today, in an
order sent to Abilene and other
towns. ANY grocer who sells any
white -four without an equal guam
tity of substitute is endangering our
chances of winning the war" said
Mr.. lnnes I'VE want the grocers to
sell an equal quantity of substitute
with flour and any retailer who per-
sistently violates the rule will have
his place closed. We also want the
buyers of substitutes to eat them.
Persons who buy substitutes and feed
them to the chickens or give them to
their servants are enemies of this
government and of our boys in
France"

Alice Stoddard, daughter of p. j.

Mrs. Bishop recently spent leave
of absence from his duties at Albany
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. e.
Bishop here.
Mr.. Bishop, who was a draftee OF
Glass in Albany county, applied for
enlistment in the aviation branch of
military service, but physical exam1n-
alton disclosed the fact that an in
ternal injury received some time ago
hen he was spiked in the abdomen in
baseball game would make him
unfit for service, unless he should
undergo an operation.
Thus he had a perfectly legitimate
excuse for not leaving his young wife,
formerly Miss Stoddard, whom he
welded last April, and his congenial
to go to France. He did
not hesitate, however, but went to a
hospital in Albany and Immediately
had the operation performed. After
his period of convalescence spent |

took the examination for enlistment
in the aviation service. This time
