Mrs. N. E. Patten, one of Tarpon
Springs pioneers, who has been ac-
lively associated with its. development,
who owns much taxable property, and
who is admired, respected and loved
by the people in general, wished to
state a grievance to the council last
night. She was refused the exercise
Of her right, by the president of the
council. This was a mistake on the
part of Mr.. Durrance, we believe. The
right of being heard should not be de-
MED any citizen in council meeting.
We trust such circumstances will not
have a recurrence. 1t breeds i'll feel
ing and unpleasant results.

SAVE. SAVE. SAVE!

The first week in December, from
the first to the seventh, has been des-
ignated by the food administration as
Food Conservation Week for World
Relief, and Friday of this week has
been allotted to the schools and COL
leges. Every girl and boy in America,
and especially in this great state of
Florida, should devote every effort to-
ward making this day one of the
memorable days of their lives.
During the past months, at every
meal that has been eaten probably
some boys or girls mother Or father
has gently reminded them to "save
food" Sometimes, when the hungry
little mouths have seemed to require
more food than formerly, when the
empty little stomachs have failed to
be filled-perhaps from the habit of
having all that was wanted-some
mother or father has told the story
of the starving little Belgian children,
without food, without water, with no
hope of succor. Then the thought that
a little bit of self-denial on their part,
that the giving up of the extra piece
of cake, or the one more biscuit that
was not really necessary, would pro-
vide that much for a hungry little
mouth on the other side of the wa
ters, has caused the hungry void sud-
denly to become appeased.
Now, though Victory has been
brought to the peoples of the world,
there is yet great danger lowering
close over them; death by starvation.
In the millions of people who are look
ing to this nation for redemption in
the way of food, there are thousands
of children who are calling to the
boys and girls of America-in mute
appeal-to share with them longer,
that they, too, may live.
Braxton Beacham, federal food ad-
ministrator for Florida, says in his
message to the children regarding
their part in this second campaign for
food savings: eff in your savings
during the war time, you have gone
without that extra little bit of food
that second biscuit or another piece of
cake-now can you not try to divide

KAISER BILL

BY II. l.. Whitney.
(Tune of Yankee Doodle.)
Once on time old Kaiser Bill
Went crazy with ambition.
He thought that he would whip the
world
And bring it to contrition.
Chorus:
We gave him shell, we made him
fry,
We cured his crazy notion,
We wrote his doom on earth and
Sky,
We gave him Yankee potion.
Now Bill he thought he knew the game
Of war; he couldn't fail, sir;
Those Yankee lads made him look
tame
When they got on his trail, sir.
Chorus:
We pounded him with bonds and
stamps,
We slugged him good and proper,
We choked him till he had the
cramps,
We put him in the hopper
Then Soon old Bill, he got a hunch,
Those Yankee boys, great Caesar,
They were the damndest fighting
bunch ~
That ever crossed the seas, sir.
Chorus:
They tore his army all to nit,
They ripped it all asunder,
They drove the kaiser in a fit,
They beat him all to thunder.
And now old Bill is feeling bad /
He's neither home nor nation;
He's Sick and sore and very mad,
Condemned by every nation.
Chorus:
Our boys they walloped him for
good
Our boys gave him a pill, sir,
Our boys justeshowed him where he
stood,
Our boys gave him his fill, sir.
And now our boys will soon be here,
Well give them hearty greeting.
Well give them hearty song and
cheer
Twill be happy meeting.
Chorus:
Sing the chorus loud and long,
Ring the bells, be gay, sir,
Blow the whistles, shout the song,
They're coming home to stay, sir.
