To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The day will come when there will be
no Hun,
And the world will be pure and
safe,
And the Stars and Stripes will then
proudly wave
Above ali, in it's well-won place.
Then again there will be a sunny
France,
Then once more a gay old Paree.
For we are going to fight with all our
might
To make the world what it should
be.
And when our brave soldier boys
pass us by
Leaving all to go over there,
With searching looks to ourselves
let us cry
What more can do over there?
So we who are here. while they're
over there
Must work with good spirit and
will,
For the quicker the ships move out
on our ways,
The quicker moves Old Kaiser Bill.

1902 North Sixth St.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
8 PER CENT. MORE WHEAT,
the Editor of the Telegraph

10 Ws Edifor or the Telegraph:
What! Who said so? Hoover. the
big man, who's in the employ of
Uncle Sam. So brother farmer as
you hear it said, or take off your
hat, sit down and take time to read,
the slogan: Three Per Cent. More
Wheat" won't you take three mlnu-
ties to look around, three to think
and three to decide; how it can be
done? If you're a Stacker you'n not
try, if a knocker you may say I'm
running my farm and will do as
please"
Lest you forget and your neighbor
don't know that Uncle Sam wants
Three Per Cent More Wheat" why
not greet, as you one another meet,
for the next three weeks. with Three
Per Cent More Wheat" instead of
the customary how do you do"
A few facts. Cumberland county
has $500 farms with an average
acre of about rs acres. With the Gus
tomary 4, 5 or year rotation, one
third to one-fourth of the farm is
sown to wheat. This would mean
approximately SO, 900 acres in wheat.
A three per cent. increase equals
1900 acres or siX-tenths acre per
farm. More than this amount is
usually uSSlIOSGu dTOuhu the DullQ-
ings by the chickens. Why not keep
the chickens off the wheat and thus
by conserving the usual waste around
the farm buildings, large part of
the Three Per Cent More Wheat"
would be assured.
1t is time we brand the free range
hen as an outlaw. She needs 20 be
incarcerated and made servant in
stead of master. She needs to be de-
throne2 from being queen of all she
surveys, by the clippings of wing
and tail, or head if you please; when
the preacher comes. around.
If we take time to think and plan
certainly most of us could increase
our wheat acreage six-tenths of ar
acre and to make up for the farmer
that can't, and the Stacker or knock.
er that won't, we had better make il
an acre. Perhaps Uncle Sam" will
be SO pleased at the effort we have
made. that the breaks will be eased,
and the price be raised, to compen
safe us for growing Three Per Cent
More Wheat" More later.

The campaign for clothing to be

received from g prominent Belgian
by President Wilson shortly after
the campaign waged last year. The
President had contributed a guam

that the Belgian, whose name was
