VICTORY BREAD TO DISAPPEAR
Its Place to be Taken by Whole
Wheat Bread.

bread soon will disappear from the
American table. Its place will be
taken by bread made from whole
wheat Hour Victory for American
and allied armies, however, is re-
sponsible only in part for the change.
1t Is chiefly due. according TO the food
administration, to the tremendous
wheat crop raised by the American
farmer this year, the vast stores in
Australia and other wheat growing
countries now made available and to
serious world shortage in dairy
feeds. Milling of more wheat will al
leyiate the shortage in dairy feeds
through production Of bran.

WHAT WE AT
HOME CAN DO

Our boys are with the colors, both
here and over seas,
And judging by General Pershing's
reports. they are buster
than bees.
Now, if we can't be with them,
wherever they may go,
There are other ways that We at
home, our loyalty can show.
For when they join the service,
there are many things they
need,
Besides a gun and clothing. and
good substantial feed
They need some recreation to make
the day seem short,
With indoor games, and music, or
athletic sports,
Some chocolate, gum and cigarets,
are things they also need.
To sharpen up their appetites, and
keep them on their feed.
Or, they may seek quiet place, to
either read or write,
Before they finish up the day, and
turn in for the night.
Or they may stroll around the
camp to see a picture show.
And gaze at scenes in foreign
lands that interest them so
Grand opera, too, our boys enjoy.
and also classy" plays,
And jazz band playing ragtime
tunes, which seetn to be the
craze.
Another thing, the boys all prize
are secretaries, who
Can joke, advise or sympathize,
whichever'sS best to do
All these, and many other things.
the *. C IS" and the "Y,"
With their active five co-partners,
now manage to supply.
So when the welfare drive is on,
don't stop or hesitate,
And say, Il feel I've done my share
in war work here of late"
But when you figure on your share,
just take a brief review,
Of what the soldiers in the ranks
now sacrifice for you.
And when they sail back to the
states and the victor's crown
have won,
IT will be consoling then to feel our
full duty We have done.
So now my friends, our duty until
the war is won,
Is bringing comfort, and good
cheer to our soldiers, every
one,
So brush by all excuses, and with
hearty will,
Drop in enough to help our boys
unseat old Kaiser Bill

On an- other occasion he ana another sergeant named Newton attacked q British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun, ty is named NewtoS in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georg.a and central square in Savannah help to perretuate Jas per's name.

Wasting Ones Time.

IL fs 2rohacic that large Der cent of the money paid for work in all em- ployments, public and private, is vast cd in iding, talking, smoking and fool ing around. It can be noticed every day everywhere. It is a bad symptom, says the Ohio State Journal. There is no difference between stealing ones time and stealing ones money. Peo- pie are lot in the habit of looking at it that way. They think 1t is nothing to take ten minutes of q mans time for which he is paid three to ten dol lars day. If one remembers the old adage that time is money, he will cou- clude he is a thief if he takes either. Character consists iH making honest use of ones time, whether he works on salary or by the minute. It is character that te insist upon, not so much the economy involved as the no" bility of selfhood. That snould be tho treasure or every true man.
