This scourge seems to mark the

more men than do bullets and poison

Sunny France


sends the following verses which very
aptly describe conditions over there,
and make one feel that Sunny Flor
ida is perhaps as good place as one
could desire. The author of the
verses is one of Georges comrades:
WHO SAID SUNNY FRANCE?
1t lies on your blankets and over your
bed,
There's mud in the cover that covers
your head,
There's mud in the coffee, the slun1,
and the bread
Sunny France!
There's mud in your eyebrows, there's
mud up your nose,
There's mud on your leggins to add to
your woes,
The mud in your boots finds its place
'twixt your toes
Sunny France
Oh, the grirny mud, the Shiny mud,
the mud that makes you swear,
The cheesy mud, the greasy mud. that
filters through your hair.
You sleep in the mud, and drink it,
that's true;
There's mud in the bacon, the rice and
the stew,
When you open an egg, you'll find
mud in it too
Sunny France!
There's mud in the water, there's mud
in. your tea,
There's mud IN your mess kit as thick
as can be,
1t sticks to your fingers like leaves to
a tree
Sunny France!
Oh, the rvIddy mud, the muddy. mud
the mud that gets your goat,
The sliding mud, the gliding mud, thai
sprays your pants and coat!
It cakes in your mouth till you fee
like I'M OK,
1t slips down your back and it rests
in your sox;
You think that you're walking on GU
glass and rocks
Sunny France!
There's mud in your gas mask, there,
mud in your hat,
There's mud IN your helmet, there
mud on your gat,
l ct though mud's all around US, we'r,
happy at that
Sunny France!

FRANCE PROTECTS
HER POOR FARMERS
LENDS MONEY TO THOSE WHOSE
FARMS WERE DEVASTATED
BY THE INVADING HUNS
AND SAVES HORSES
FROM THE ARMY.

France has come to the rescue Of her
farmers. Every bit Of French soil must
be cultivated as never before. To
increase production the French govern
ment is making great effort to help the
farmer, according to information sent
to United States Food Administrator
J. F. Deems at Burlington, Iowa.
As our own farm loan board is do
ing, provision is being made there to
enable the farmers to get money and
equipment with which to cultivate
these abandoned lands Of France. Ac-
cording to the present decree, prefer
ence is being given to farmers who
lived originally in the invaded regions.
To such borrowers the amount may be
doubled. Loans may be renewed at
the end Of the season, but each farm
er must report the results Of his sea-
sons production.
The farmers Of France are being
safeguarded in another respect, and
that Is In the requisitioning OF their
horses for army use. Requisitioning
committees are Instructed to take only
a certain proportion Of the animals OF
each farmer and not to take these I'M
til after the harvest. unless it Is alb
solutely necessary. Not all the horses
are to be taken at once, and If farm
er has but one horse he is not to be
deprived of it.

IMPORTANCE OF SHIPPING
Boats Could Be Released for Trans-
ferrlng Troops If Food Was Out
Of tho Way.

About 100000 tons Of shipping
could be saved if we made 1t possible
to withdraw ships now taking to Eu-
rope food from Australia, India and
South America.
Were this done, 1t would be possible
to transport and maintain in France
q much larger army Of American SOL
dlers. Many Of the difficulties Of
convoy could be overcome if the bulk
of shipping piled the single lane be
tween Europe and North America.
Interpreted in terms of men on the
fighting front, every ship diverted
from Australia could perform an
equivalent service from American
ports and in the time it had taken for
one round trip from Europe to Aus
tralia could make two additional trips
from Europe to the United States.
In other words, it could furnish Eu-
rope with the same amount of food
and in the same length of time could
make one trip as troop ship and
another to transport additional food.
