SHEET MUSIC WOULD
MAKE HIT With BOYS.
BY FRANK ). TAYLOR.
United Press Staff Corresnanden


With the American Army in France
(by mail)-The boys want music over
here in the trenches. IL you want to
make a lit with Il soldier boy, send
him some of the latest song hits, SO
that he and his pals can try to .shar-
monize'Ao on them during the long eve
nings they spend in the trenches or
among the ruins of somewhere in the
woods.
European officers say the American
army is the most musical in the world.
The boys are always going about their
work. whether it's marching into the
trenches or filling up a shell hole in
the road, with a song.
A song to sing is a great thing. 1t
boosts up the spirit and the morale,
and makes a man forget the things
he doesn't like. The fellows in the
army who can't sing always whistle.
Somewhere in every group is an in
of some kind, often nothing
more than a couple of strings over a
cigar box with a handle on it-hut
something that will make a tune.
The boys usually get near a hut
that has Il photograph now and then
and try out the songs. But they want
new ones, the latest ones from Amer
lea, h soldier songs that take so
long TO drift across the sea, unless
someone sends sheet music.
So II o want TO make Il hit with a
'doughboy" send him some sheet
music. the latest thing you can get
from Broadway. The best way to send
1t Is In an envelope, sealed tight. az

III such a commodity is ir common use
and there is nothing to Justify such an

Since the United States entered the war

parattvely easy matter to induce people
to nay a higher price for almost ANYTHING.

The war board has not done this be-
cause 1t is sorry for the poor farmers

Ing her back over the oven and dishpan.
What the war board is thinking about
ts the waste of food.
But the result will be the same. For It
has become bad form, even in the coun-
try, to try to Guido ones neighbor in the
amount of food served. The rivalry for
the remainder Of the war will be in find
ing nourishment for the workers without
waste. and without use of those foods
which are needed by Our allies.
NO longer is cottage cheese to be a
side dish. added to a dinner already too
rich In protein by heavy meats and by
vegetables cooked with bacon or salt pork.
Cottage cheese Is to take the center of the

III you have anybody working for you
and they lie dow on tho Job. don't fire
them at once-just call In and tell
this story.
Down IN Virginia a farmer had an OK
and a mule that he hitched together to
a pillow. One night. after several days OF
blowing. and after the OK and
the mule had been stabbed and p~rovendered
FOR the night. the OK said to the mule:
We've been working pretty hard, let's
play off sick tomorrow and lie here In
the stalls all day
You can If you want to- returned the
mule, but j believe III go to work..
So the next morning when the farmer
came out. the OK played off sick; the
farmer bedded him down with clean
straw. rave him fresh hay, q bucket of
oats m bran mixed. left him for the
day and went forth alone with the mule
to pillow.
All that day the OK laid in his stall.
chewed his cud and nodded. slowly blinked
his eyes n gently swished his tail.
That night when the mule came In, tho
OK asked how they got along blowing
was hard and we didn't get much done.
and"
did the old man have anything to say
about me?' interrupted the OK.
No." replied the mule.
Well, then" went on the OK. II believe
PAey oNI o8Alu tOUOrrOW, IL was GER
tainly fine lying here, all day and resting"
That's up to you" said the mule, but
I'll go out and plow."
So III next day the OK played off again.
was bedded down with clean straw.
~provendered with hay. bran and oats. and
lay all day nodding, blinking, chewing his
cud and gently swishing his tail.
When the mule came in at night the OK
asked again how they had gotten along
without him.
Did the old man have anything to say
to you about lme?" again inquired the OK.
he did have . damn long talk with the
butcher on the way home"
