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 a loaf Of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying 500. 100000 a year toward the
cost of IL
An the grain grown in Great Brit
ain q 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 aduI-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger .ex-
traction. the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

Hooverizing.

We all began TO Hooyerize
l nineteen-seventeen,
This war with all the nations
Has made Us very mean.
We Hooverize and HooveriEe,
From morning until night,
We go around half clothed, half starved,
Because we think it's right.
We want to help our Uncle Sam
In every way we can;
Wen let him have the single boys
II he'll spare the married man.
It's corn-mesl and oat meal.
And also graham sweet,
IT'S vegetables and fish,
And most everything but meat.
We Hooverire on clothing.
AS well as what we eat,
To save the bill on foot wear.
We go in our bare feet.
When we began to HooveriEe
1t seemed so very hard
To try to make batch Of bread
without bit Of lard.
We used the compound for a while
That all the grocers sell,
But now it's Hooverixe in that
And everything else as we'll.
They make us use molasses
Where sugar is preferred,
They've cut us of in -four,
We can only use one-third.
Oar stomachs have long been empty,
Our limbs begin to shake,
II we Hooverise much longer
To our beds we'll have to take.
And II it really comes to that
We never shall arise.
Twill be written on our tom bstones:
''She died to Hooyerize."

Turn Cash into Gun Fire

We fought and won the Spanish war
with 150, 900 soldiers and q s2O0, 900 900
bond issue. In men under arms we now
have ten times that number. We issued
ten times that amount Of bonds in the
first liberty loan. We are proposing to
spend and loan to the allies in the first
fiscal year of the war SO, 600, 100000.
From now until the end of this fiscal
year the treasury anticipates needing $500,
Oo,0O week-tbat is, the treasury has
got to fight financially q Spanish war
every four days. That indicates money
is not the real measure. We have Just
seen that one might have plenty of money,
but an empty coal bin. In Just the same
way the government can have plenty of
money, but an unequipped army.
This army cannot be equipped as modern
warfare demands il the man power of the
country is at the same time called upon to
produce all of our ordinary comforts and
luxuries. 1t is as plain as two and two
that all of us must make personal sacri-
ices, must give up comforts and luxuries,
even necessary expenditures that can be
postponed, If there is to be labor and ma
terial enough to equip the army in time
for it to fight while it will do some GOOD
to have it fight.
In war, the only effort that is OF any
value IL that which is ultimately trans
lated into gun fire on the field OF battle.
The gun fire that will win this war cannot
De delivered until all america recognizes
individual responsibility, until the whole
people join in the effort by giving up
things that they can do without, so that
the labor that would have been EMPLOYED
in making those things can do work that
will ultimately result in gun fire.
The government has offered the oppor-
tunity to translate at once every ones per-
sonal patriotism into ths sort OF help that
win ~fG the war. Fofego buying some
s'Ase4s mat is unnecessary; loan the money
You would have used to the government
by buying IS war savings certificates.
You will thus have released labor, yor
will have given credit to the government,
you will have acquired the best security
in the world, United States government
bond.

Catherine Calvert, Noted Stage
Star At Colonial Wednesday

Catherine Calvert, one of the. most
beautiful and noted stage stars. and
widow of the noted playwright, Paul
Armstrong, in drama os compelling
power and unusual interest entitled
!" Behind the Mask" will be the ex-
'tremely pleasing attraction at the Col
'onial Theatre, Wednesday evening.
Behind the Mask" is written by
Charles T. Darcy. author of many
Istage successes and is thssSbeautiful
Catherine Calvert's first screen vehicle
and one which affords her excellent
opportunities to display her wonder
full emotional ability. Behind the
Mask" is a story full of great charm
and with many surprises to mark the
action of a woman's revenge on the
man who has ruined her father. The
play offers a number of unique situa-
tions that are not only well presented
but offered at the psychological mo-
ment, which increases the heart ap-
peal and holds the entire interest to
the end. An unusually capable cast
of both screen and stage stars support
the brilliant Catherine Calvert in this
tense and appealing production.

HIS FATHER AT BUNKER HILL
Washington Man, Now 1902 Years Old,
Was Past Age Limit at Opening
of the Civil War

Austin Corbit Winslow, whose father
fought in the battle of Bunker Hill.
and himself being too old to enlist at
the outbreak of the Civil war, is one
hundred and two years old. Despite
his remarkable age, he is still able to
sit up and take an active interest in
current events, says the Washington
Post. He attributes his age to the fact
that he has taken the best possible
care of himself He says he never
smoked, but was a chewer of tobacco.
To look at Mr.. Winslow, one would
never suspect him as having passed
the century mark. His complexion is
ruddy, and his eye alert, but he has
cultivated flowing white beard. An
other remarkable fact is that his hand
writing is still legible.
Coming from a stock of hardy an
cestors, he was born in Barnard, VT,
the son of Hezekiah and Mary Samp-
son Winslow. His father and several
brothers were all past eighty when
death called them. His mother, how
ever, died in her sixties. When asked
how many more years he expected to
live he replied: "The way 1 feel at
the present time, will live as long as
MethuSaleh."

New Type of "Vamplre."

Arrest at the instance of an army
officer of a young woman who had
committed bigamy in order to secure
the allowance granted to soldiers de-
pendents gives color to the warning
issued against this new type of "vam-
pire," notes the Omaha Bee Young
soldiers are picked out by these wom-
en- and deliberately led into marriage,
the one purpose being to secure money
from the government. The game is
not q new one, nor does it exhibit
much modification in its details. 1t is
reported from some of the Southern
army camps that as many as three
and four soldiers have been welded
to the same woman. The young men
who are away from home for the first
time, wearing their country's uniform,
should be warned that marriage is not
merely an enlistment for the war, and
therefore to be approached very seri-
ously. Romance is part of a soldiers
life, but it may have consequences
that will embarrass him in after
years. The vampire" is one of his
chiefest dangers, and one against
whom it is difficult to guard.

taking a walk in the fresh air. My re-
quest was granted, and getting the

nurse for my companion. After enjoy
ing a long walk we returned. but came
TO Z sudden halt before soldier ON
guard who demanded, in French, that
give the password. had forgotten
IT. II had not been given TO the other
nurse, so she could not help me out OF
my predicament. / used all the French
at my command. trying 10 explain 10
him, and finally trying 10 argue with
him that / must get back, password or
no password. He argued, in the same
language, and stood his grounds. At
last. tired out. angry with myself and
with this wooden-faced, obstinate per-
son who blocked my way, cried out,
like Il cross child: Ish Gebibble.
Instantly the wooden face changed
to a very human, boyish face. The sol
der caught me by the shoulder and
shook me soundly, exclaiming: Are
you an American? Then why on earth
did you jabbeP all that stuff at me-
"Why did you jabber back, in the
same languageT l growled.
- I thought l was the only American
around here he laughed.
Then we compared notes and found
that we not only both hailed from good
old Z. s. A., but from the same big old
city, and that his home had been on
the next street back of my home street.
Maybe you think that wasn't some re-
union And maybe you think / didn't
go walking again, with 40 need of re-
memDering my PASSWORD
