A bottle of ink and pen,
For some of us fellows can't shoulder a

And fight like rea soldier men
We've never chance to fight the foe
And take whacll at the Hun
Never chance to charge trench
And make the Germans run
For somebody has to stay behind
Seventeen miles or more,
Where bullets never 60 whistling by
And the big guns never roar.
Someone must sit behind desk
Heaped high with stacks and piles
OF guard reports and rations returns
Payrolls and document files.
Someone must keep the mess account
And see that the army is fed
Someone must keep the council book,
Someone must work with his head.
Someone must keep the record books
And see that the musters right.
Someone must sit in an Office chair
While others get out and fight.
Some must get all covered with gore
And Others all covered with ink;
Some are soldiers, and others are clerks,
So the civilians all think.
So. over the top with the morning report,
A bottle of ink and a pen,
For some of us fellows can't shoulder a

SAVING OF SUGAR Is
ACT OF PATRIOTISM

Many inquiries are being made at
the U. S. food administration offices
n regard to the sugar regulations
and the reasons for the new restric-
tions that went into effect on July
l. For the information of those
who are still confused about the reg
ulations, Federal Food Administrator
". B. Aver directs attention to re-
cent official bulletin, and urgently
requests that everyone make an eff
fort to familiarize himself with these
rules and Loyalty follow the sugges-
tions given for sugar conservation.
The bulletin follows:
1t is necessary to conserve sugar
lecause:
We need the ships which bring
sugar from a distance into this coun-
thy. for other purposes.
The submarines have sunk ships
containing sugar.
In order to take care of the needs
Of our army and navy and to give
TO our allies the amount they must
have, which is less than we keep
ourselves, three things are necessary:
No person should use more than
three pounds of sugar month. this
TO include all sugar used in all
forms.
The canning and preserving in the
household should be done in such a
way as to use the least amount Of
sugar.
II we think our allotment of sugar
small, let us compare it with the al
lotment Of other countries: We may
have three pounds of sugar per per-
son each month. The English may
Fave two pounds apiece each month
when they can get it. The French
may have one pound apiece each
month (when they can get iU. The
italians may have one pound apiece
each month when they can get iD.
The following rules have been
made to help in fair distribution of
sugar: Will you give your aid to
make them effective?
Retailers may not sell at any one
time more than two pounds of sugar
&c any town customer, nor more than
five pounds of sugar to any country
customer. The retailer will do his
1est not to sell more than three
pounds per person per month. Co.
operation of the customer with the
retailer is earnestly sought.
Retailers may not sell at present
more than 25 pounds of sugar to any
household for home canning upon
the householder's certificate that he
has not bought elsewhere and agree
ing to return any balance unused for
this purpose. The householder can
obtain more than 25 pounds upon

honey or one and !wo-thirds cups of

If honey or syrup is used, the
inount of LIQUID called for in the
ecipe must be reduced one-fourth
up for every cup of honey or syrup
used.
