That was the Interpretation placed
upon the forthcoming visit of the

Owen believes, is of international i'm

Senator knows the Presidents mind

The President is expected to ex-
plain that. in order to preserve the
peace of the world, America is will

Go slowly, wise gentlemen,
when it comes to keeping five
hundred thousand men armed,
uniformed and idle in a republic.
There are not so many young
men of military age in Chicago,
the second city in the United
States.
You could not possibly get SO
many by the volunteer system.
You remember that before the
war il was difficult to keep up
the tiny little army we had then
by earnest recruiting and special
inducements.
To have an army of five hum
dred thousand men, you would
have to give big pay, much leisure.
Can you imagine any worse
disease spot in a great nation
than a Body Of five hundred thou
sand men doing no useful work,
living on the work that others do,
creating nothing?
You must have a standing army
in the nation of the right size,
as you must have q police force

plenty Of officers. Annapolis and
West Point should be trebled in
size, at least. Give them training
and restore them to civil life if
you have too many officers for

Use More Hominy
Several Kind, Of This Real
American Food

Americans! Have we forgotten some
Of the best foods we once knew? Are
you using hominy? Why not follow
the example of our forefathers and use
much of this good corn product? The
first settlers of America learned from
the Indians how to prepare the Indian
corn for use. They removed the hulls
from the dry grain by pounding 1t In
a mortar with a pestle. The cracked
corn they called by the Indian name
'hominy." Hominy became one of
their staple foods without which they
would often have gone hungry. They
cooked 1t in huge iron kettles hung
over the blazing logs in the open fire.
place.
They also learned to remove the
germ and hull from the corn by boiling
the grain with lye and then washing
thoroughly. They sometimes called
this product 'hulled corn" but it is now
more often called "lye hominy."
There are several kinds of hominy
on the market. If you do not know
how good they are, try them and find
out, advises the United States depart.

The coarse hominy, samp, or pearl
hominy.-This is much like the hominy
the pioneers used. The grain is split
to remove the germ, hulled and pol
ished by machinery. 1t is much used,
particularly in the central and eastern
states. 1t is worth using everywhere.
The fine hominy or hominy grits.-
This is made by grinding the coarse
hominy. Grits are excellent served as
a vegetable much as rice is used. Grits
are also used in many parts of the
country as a breakfast food.

Author of "BIest Be the Tie"

The hymn known by its first line as
"Blest Be the Tie That Binds" was
written by Rev. DR.. John Fawcett, an
English Baptist preacher, who was
born in 1740 and died in 1917. He was
noted as a religious worker and wrote
many other good hymns, but none so
famous and popular as this one, which
has been used by different denomina-
tons. Tradition says that the author
wrote it under a sort of religious in
spiration which made him refuse to ex-
change the pastorate of a small pro-
vincial church for that of a strong and
rich one in London. The hymn has
been sung on many historical occasions
as peculiarly expressive Of Christian
fellowship.

Absecon in Poetic Verse.

Absecon's a fine place in which to live.
Numerous advantages it has to give.
Two churches. one school, a fire company,
too,
And a bank that is pleased to do business
with you.
Seven stores are here in the center of the
town,
And the postof1ce that's sure to be found.
Our tonsorial parlors are right up to date,
The one on the corner keeps open quite late.
1t does a business in the variety line,
And we'll say their ice cream Is just fine.
The butcher shop is located on the same
street,
Where our townspeople purchase their meat.
The coal and lumber yard along the main
tracks
Invites many people whom it attracts.
Who are leaving their orders for wood and
For next winters weather when the winds
Nearly all would store it in now if they
could,
And you can't blame them if they would.
We can boast of a boulevard some day to be
done,
And over this highway many autos will run.
Twill shorten the distance considerably you
see
To the Queen City beside the blue sea.
Absecon can offer you many more things
Alike to the advantage Of peasant or kings.
Our transportation facilities are hard to beat,
The trolley car runs up and down the main
street.
1t stops to take you and to bring you home,
When you are tired of the city and its roam.

for which American patriots sac

Thomas Hutchinson, Jr.

Police Chief Tom makes a very good cop.
He also makes a very good pop.
Take these words from Pop Mattson,' the
Mayor;
From baby Virginia and Doe" Allen, who
did weigh 'er.
Police Chief Tom is both brave and bold.
Only part of the story has yet been told.
He's not afraid to do his duty,
But he sometimes likes tutti frutti.
He's been trained as an athletic sport.
Boxing and prize fighting were once his forte.
On a punching bag he practiced amid laugh
tiers,
Until it seemed he'd split the very ~rafters.
Thomas Hutchinson, Jr, here everyone
knows,
The one on the corner in dark blue clothes.
Day or night he's always ready,
And his hand is ever steady.
He's the Chief of our town,
And he's always to be found.
Our patrolman also is he,
And a mounted police as you sometimes see.
He, too, is Absecon's motorcycle cop,
And speeding autos he doesn't fail to stop.
Nothing but good can we say of him,
Because he protects both life and limb.

Can the Kaiser is no idle dream
Ere long the Yanks'll make him scream.
Bloody Bill can't now sit still
In contemplation of their leaden pill.
Some day they'll dose him good and strong,
Then he'll know that he's in wrong.
The cans being made of the thickest tin
When he's in it the Allies'll win.
The Beast of Berlin, all know about,
And his sovereigns will be put to rout.
The solder used in building this can
Will help confine this inhuma man.
Universal Liberty he has disturbed,
A thousand times over that you've heard.
But some day liberty he won't know,
That vilest king in Kaiser row.
For he'll be canned good and tight
And won't have a chance to see daylight.
Me fears de Kaiser's Colt some day
Will dat detestable King betray.
An erth lord on dis sp'ere he'd be,
Dat Kaiser Wilhelm No. 8.
Who's taken such a me all" stand
Dat even Lucifer'd have i'm canned.
Can the Kaiser is no idle brag,
Let's do our best to can the stag.
Can the Kaiser, the Allies will do,
This war game they will see through.
Once they start they will not stop
Until they make that Teut King drop.
Liberty he'd wrest from all the world.
Millions of TRADES at him we've hurled.
Military oppression has been his rule,
Resulting therefrom is this bloody pool.
Men for right into it have plunged
This iron hand rule will be expunged.
Governmental polity he's cast aside.
Mans inalienable rights he has denied.
Territorial acquisitions he'd force by Nigh
Without regard to wrong or right.
Principle and honor from him hath fed,
His dynastical reign all republics dread.
This being true then can the beast
Who shows no mercy, not the least.
Not sylvan dell, but Stygian cave;
Can him therein to rant and rave.
Dethrone him from his palace place,
And can this murderer of the race.
