But said be could take # or leave If alone,
And never had yet got jag on?
Under the eye Of a heavy-jOWed guard
Afar from the mulhtude's clamor
He's tOiing alone IN a eonviet-proof yard
Fraeuring rock with hammer.
WHERE is the fellow who drank for his nerves,
Who kept pint pocket flask handy,
And always declared there is nothing that serves
To tone up the system Ike brandy?
He is locking through bars that are fashioned Of stse
So hard that you never file EN-,
And couple Of keepers are right at bis heel
To see he don't wreck the asylum.
WHERE Is the fellow who said that his health
Was helped by Little good loddy
Who vowed that all doctors took whisky By stealth,
And that drinking was good for body?

And # you should happen to stray there
You'll find our young friend IN that desolate SPOT

With the American Army in France,
March 3O.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press. )-Enlisted men of
the American expeditionary forces
have received the welcome news that,
hereafter, men who have not saved
their money will not be deprived of
their leave in designated leave areas
because of lack of funds. They will
be considered as having a duty status
and therefore quarters will be provid-
ed for them and the cost of rations
commuted at the established rate of
dollar a day. Soldiers on leave in
other areas vii lnot be furnished with
quarters but will receive ration al
lowance of sixty cents a day.
| While the only designated leave
for American troops at present is il
Savoie, new leave centers will be des
ignated as needed and summer tim
leave areas will probably be near tn

SCHOOL CHILDREN
AFTER SQUIRRELS
Tots Help in the Great Rodent Drive
in Northern California - Field
Crops Suffered to the Extent of
Millions of Dollars Last Year on
Account of the Squirrels.

Sacramento, April 29.-School chill
dren were expected to join hands
whole heartedly with state officials
and others today in inaugUrating the
ground squirrel drive which has as
its object the determination of the ro-
dent which in the past years has done
extensive damage to crops through
out California.
Field crops of value aggregating
many millions of dollars were de-
stroyed last year by the rodents, ac-
cording to George Ii. Hecke, state hor-
ticultural commissioner, whose office
is directing the drive, and it was
feared the damage this year, when
food conservation is more essential
than ever, would be ekually great #
not greater, unless millions of the
mother squirrels were not killed dur
ing the breeding season from March
to May.
The campaign of determination has
been in active progress for several
weeks under the direction of w. c.
Jacobsen of the rodent control bureau
of the commission. and the drive this
week was planned as final assault
upon the squirrels.
As an incentive to school children
to cooperate in the campaign Commits
sioner Hecke by authority of the state,
board of control has offered 5000 in
prizes to the grammar and high
schools whose pupils killed the most
squirrels. A prize of $50 each will
be awarded to the high and grammar
schols in the state who deliver to the
horticultural commissioner in their
county the largest number of ground
squirrel tails. The high and gram
mar schools ranking second and third
in the competition will be awarded $50
and $40 respectively. In addition to
the state prizes some of the various .
in the safe have offered ad
ditional prizes for the school chill
iren.
Scattering of poison grain, killing
Of the squirrels in their trenches by
gas and trapping were the principal
measures recommended for use in the
of eradication. 4.

Make This Candy

How about the skins from those
big plums which you peeled for your
luncheon dessert? What did you do
pits? Do you throw away orange and
lemon skins? Does the garbage can
ever see the cores, skins and eyes of
your pineapples?
None of these things should be
thrown away in war time or any
time. They can be used to make a
delicious sort of candy known to
those of the inner circle as Fruit
Leather.
First of all wash all fruit carefully
and then simply cover all these waste
parts with cold water aand bring the
whole slowly to the boiling point
letting it simmer gently for fifteen
or twenty minutes or until the Juice
is extracted Then strain it through
a jelly bag or double piece of cheese
cloth into an earthenware or enamel
ed dish.
Concentrate this juice by first boil
ing over direct heat, then by dry
ing in the top of the double boiler
or on platters or enamel pans set
in a moderate oven. The juice is
sufficiently concentrated if when, Oh
cooling, it makes a highly glazed,
tough, dry, leathery jelly. Dry the
leather in thin sheets. sprinkle light
ly with granulated sugar and roll
the sheets like jelly rolls, then cut
them across.
This confection may be eaten any

Therefore Wade would not vent his

on his mothers part to get his
father out of his way for a mo-

the chance thus afforded him.

about to lie performed.
