SCoVILLE SMAsHES PIECE
 OF GERMAN PROPAGANDA

The repeated reports that the gov ernment might siege and conflscate some or all of the home canning held by housewives has exasperated Con- necticuts Federal Food Administrator, Robert Scoville, to the point that he has again unequivocally denied this silly product of German propaganda and has issued an open letter to the housewives of Connecticut. At last weeks meeting at the capitol of Con- necticut's Local Food Directors and home economics workers, MT. Scoviile was asked to issue an official denial of the latest pro-German canard which claimed that very soon gov ernment inspectors would raid Amer iean homes and take over one third of all home canning discovered.
 There is nothing to this cheap ru- nor, according to MT. Scoville's de- nial, which is as follows:
 ITO All Connecticut Housewives:
 Tn view of the revival of an un- trSceable rumor which spread through many towns in Connecticut and other states last winter, I have been asked at this time to issue another denial of this apparent pro German propa-
 ganda claim thaat the government in tends to siege any part of the home canning done by our patriotic house
 wives. \ IL would seem unnecessary te
 deny this palpable falsehood, were il
 not for the fact that the latest version is that the government would confis- l cate one third of all home canning discovered We have urged house
 wives to can as much as they could and have endeavored to make availa- | ble the necessary sugar for legiti- mate canning. It is annoying to finc our patriotic people constantly sub jected to spacious pro-German pro- paganda, which of course we will of 1 f1cially repudiate as frequently as il seems necessary.

A bunch of the boys were whOOpine

The kid that handles the music box
was hitting a jag time tune;
Back of the bar, in a solo game, sat
Dangerous Dan McGrew,
And watching his luck was his light
O'.love. the lady that's known
as Lou.
When out ofthe night. whichwas fifty
below, and into the din and glare,
There stumbled a miner fresh from
the creeks. dog-dirty, and loaded
for bear.
He looked like a man with foot in
the grave and scarcely the
strength of a louise,
Yet he tilted a poke of dust on the
{. bar, and he called for drinks for
the house.
There was none could place the
strangers face, though we search
ed ourselves for clue;
But we drank his health, and the
last to drink was Dangerous DaI
McGreW.
There's men that somehow just griE

And such was he. and he looked tC

glass and the drops fell one by one
Then | got to figgering who he was,
and wondering what he'd do.
And | turned my head-and there
watching him was the lady that's
known as Lou
His eyes went rubbering round the
room, and he seemed in a kind
of daZe,
Till at last that old piano fell in the
way of his wandering gaze.
The rag-time kid was having drink:
there was no one else on the stool
So the stranger stumbles across the
room and fiops down there like
a fool.
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed
with dirt he sat. and saw him
sway;
Then he clutched the keys with his
talon hands-my Col! but that
man could play.
Were you ever out in the Great Alone
when the moon was awful clear,
And the icy mountains hemmed you
in with silence you most could hear
W ith only the howl of timber wolf
and you camped there in the cold

world, clean mad for the muck

Then you've a haunch what the
music meant y hunger and
night and the stars
And burger not of the belly kind,
that's banished with bacon and
beans,
But the gnawing hunger of lonely
men for a home and all that it
means;
For a fireside far from the cares that
are, four walls and roof above;
But oh! so cramful of cosy joy, and
crowned with a woman's love
A woman dearer than all the world,
and true as Heaven is true
(Godl how CHASTITY she looke through
her rouge the lady that's known
as Lou)
Then on a sudden the music chang
ed, so soft that you scarce could
hear;
But you felt that your life had been
looted clean of all that it once
held dear;
That someone had stolen the woman
you loved; that her love was a
DEVILS lie;
That your CUTS were gone. and the
best for you was to crawl away
and die.
