Perhaps you think your lot is hard
| and that the fates are hard and cruel
because you're short OF flour and lard,
and have no coal to use as fuel Per-
haps you growl when meat gives out
because it's used to fight the German,
and think that war Is just about what
1t was called by Old Man Sherman
Perhaps you're right. But what Of
| that, you poor, misguided, grouchy
duffer! Just let me tell you, good and
! flat, you don't know what it is to suf-
fer. Compare your lot with those who
go to blaze the trail for Freedom
guerdon, and then you'll quickly come
to know that they're the folks who
bear the burden. So drop your crouch
and be a man, and help to win the
fight for Freedom. We've got the
troops; now we must plan to furnish
food enough to feed 'em. Get out and
make a garden plot, and work it like
greedy miser Grow in your yard
and vacant lot munitions meant to lick
the kaiser.
Seems that the state of Wisconsin Is
not to be added to the German empire
just yet
When Kaiser Bill picked up the
Bolsheviki proposition ne picked up
piece of sticky flypaper and cannot
get it off his hands.
The Bolsheviki government is one
which is unwilling to protect those who

who do.
"'Peace, peace, let US have peace
Quoth Bill. with a face grave and long
You can see we have won
Ere you've really begun.
So let's chuck it while I'm going
strong"
There is many weary wife in this
world who has listened to war
crouch for months, and is willing to
sign a separate peace at any time.
The Legislature OF New Jersey has
Just adjourned after passing 300 new
laws. and still not one making it an
offense for a mosquito to stab a
swamp dweller.
Who's Who In Literature.
1t Is revealed in New York lawsuit
that the book, Great Love Stories Of
the Bible" by Billy Sunday, was not
written by Billy Sunday at all.
New York writer's are rolling this
delicious morsel OF gossip under their
tongues and are trying to guess who
wrote the book. which is one Of the
Elk best sellers. There seems to be
a unanimous opinion that. no matter
who wrote the book the immoral Bill
will probably garner most Of the pro-
ceeds.
The name of the real author IS
awaited with considerable interest.
The book created sensation when Il
appeared, and was accorded several
miles of favorable newspaper com
ment.
These are lean days for autocrats.
The pullman porter is about to De
deprived Of his job.
See the Germans have taken jam
burg, in Russia.
Will make a small bet that the
Bolsheviki removed the jam before the
Germans got there.
DR.. Edward Hickey Bradford, of the
Harvard Medical School, says men are
descended from lizards which craWled
on their bellies. He is probably reterr-

A Chicago man tried to win exemp-

make one of the best sentries in the
army.
