Proudly coming in from battle shouting:
Hey ! got colonel

BRITISH AND FRENCH CROPS.

As indicated by the reports that are
now coming in from practically every
country that usually features in the
production of export food surpluses,
the food situation, as pertaining to the
world need, is far better than ii was
year ago The fact that the United
States will have very much larger
surplus of bread grains this year is but
an item in the count Recent reports
are to the effect that there are large stored
wheat surpluses in both Australia and
Argentina. Another report conveys the
information that the French wheat crop
this year will be around 275, 5,OO0, 900
bushels, or 1870, 100000 bushels larger
than the last year yield The British
wheat harvest this year will be larger
by 30, 100000 bushels than the harvest
of last year
More than 100000 acres of land in
Great Britain in excess of the usual
tillage was planted to wheat and potatoes
during the planting season of this year
The reports from Austria the German
provinces and the Russian provinces
that are now under control of Germany
are not definite enough to be regarded
as dependable. Throughout the whole
Of this Central area, however. the farm

For months there have been reports
Of fam inc conditions in Hungary, the
Ukraine and in several of the German
provinces.
The reports Of large grain yields in
France and Great Britain are Of main
Importance. These are the two countries
that have drafted most heavily upon
the United States during the past twelve
months Surely there is in sight some
relief for the hard-pressed American
family in the matter of the cost of foods

RIPPING RHYMES.
BY Walt Mason.
MORE STACKING.

There are a hundred ways TO slack,
and each is worse than all the rest;
so place your burden on your back,
and do your stunt with joyous
zest In these grim times employers
need the very best their help can
give, if they would keep up proper
speed, and dodge the bankrupt
court and live. If you don't do the
best you can to help the boss sur
vive the stress, you're following a
loathsome plan-the siacker's spirit
you confess This is no time to loaf
and talk, when there are useful
things to do; it is no time to watch
the clock, or ogle all the danes In
view You may have bought
pair OF stamps, you may have
bought a bond or three, but you
train with the stacking scamps If
you're not busy as bee. This war
wont last thousand years, it may
run down before next MAY, and
then there'll be all kinds OF tears
for those who Stacked their time
away. Your boss will say, "Augus-
tus kelp, when wartime troubles
made IAe yell, and | was needing
loyal help, you were not worth
three boots in Hannibal, Mo"
And he'll denounce you as a swab,
and maybe groom you with chair;
and every place you hunt a job, your
Stacking record will be there But
if you do your duty now, whatever
sort of place you fill, you'll have the
laurels on your brow when we have
picked Kaiser Bill.

The daily casualty lists now impress
upon our people, sorrowfully and peril

But they should incite our people to put

an end, the sooner the casualties will cease.
