Why Get PeeVed? ?

A few days ago Luke published a theme called The Hog" The rhyme was a slam at the man who stops at American style hotels and eats every thing on the menu, not because he needs it, but because he figures he has to pay for it anyway, and who forgets all about food conservation in his worship of his stomach. The rhyme seems to have jolted at least one travelling man, wlSo bawls out Luke and calls Luke a degenerate and an enemy of the prohibition fore es We don't know what prohibition has to do with making a hog of yourself when you eat, but we are proud to be called an enemy of the Anti Everything League. Luke did not write the rhyme in question. w. J. Paul wrote it and it was credited to w. J. Paul in this column Fur thermore, w J. Paul is a travelling man who claims to know whereof he writes.

Overcoming the Submarine.
{ (New York World

That the corner Of the shipping was turned in April, instead of May; that for nearly two months construction has exceeded destruction that already a considerable net addition has been made to Allied merchant hcets-such are the cheer ing conclusions drawn from the statement of NJ. Lcygues, French Minister of Marine.
 Great Britain and the United States alone built in April 10000 tons more shipping than the Ger sank, according 10 NJ Leygues Repair work is so perfected as In itself to constitute notable victory over the snakes Destruction of U-boats in May will surpass the April record
 On the other hand, only half as many tons were sunk in the first quarter of 1918 the bad sec ond quarter of 1917 and April and May have con tinued the good work
 It should bring especial satisfaction to Americans that in overcoming the submarine country bears mighty share. What our hydropanes on the French coast and our naval vessels in the submarine done have done IS an inspiring story.

realizing what was up yelled to the

to meet me with an awful bang and
found myself mixed up with some
sheds. But actually had alighted
quite gracefully and was only
bruised and suffering slightly from

was afterward compensated for by a
