HELPING THE HUN.

You help the Hun if you are prone to dodge food
regulations, if you put up dismal groan wheneer you

rules laid down by Hoover; he bthey follows every curve
and bylaw and maneuver You help the Hun when you
repeat dire stories Of Disaster you pick up rumors Of de-
feat and make them travel faster It is the kasers STAN
dard trick to keep such rumors brewn' to make our
hearts and spirits sick through tales of deah and ruin
You would not wilfuly assist this would be Alexander
but thoughessy you help wist to spread his propagan
der. You help the Hun when you complain of what the
war costng the patriot who's safe and sane will find
no load exhaustng. What if demands on you are big?
What if you're always busted? While you've penny
still to dig you shouldn't be disgusted You're buying
freedom with the cash you shell for bonds and taxes and
kuturs dome you help to smash though with battle
It's easy work to help the Hun, by snaring and
repinng by being stingy with your mon by beefng and
by whining. And legions do it every day whose anger
would be royal we should point with scorn and say they
are not truly loya

When the clock struck twelve, they
neither started, as they had the night
before, and for another hour they Wis
tied. Without meaning to, Brian had
conveyed to Mollie the idea that he
was rather a neglected sort of person;
that he was disappointed in Ruth. He
would have been shocked could he
have realized the impression she had
gained from his chatter. Feeling that

Now, Mollie did not object to a wo-
