The draft board Is not to be blamed
for the confusion. Questionnaires had

the names of men known to be in the

"Some Wheat"
Bit Of Prophecy.
w. A. Furnish of Missoula tries out
as a prophet in the following verses.
The rising price of wheat, he thinks,
Is likely to start all of us on the run
for the farm. He says:
1 wandered to the city, boys,
And I stayed there to see
If there were any people left
In town to welcome me.
But none were left to greet me. boys,
And few were left, you know,
With the price so high they all have
gone
Great fields of wheat to SOW.
| No more will factories run, boys,
To make clothes and woolens warm;
| They've closed all kinds of business
More money on the farm.
| All railroad stocks are bum, boys.
And Wall Streets gone to smash:
No brokers' left to runs things
| They've all gone out to thresh.
The kaiser's stopped the war, boys.
Though he said he was not beat.
He told us what twas for, boys
More money raising wheat.
On the battle front the earth Is torn
| AS by giants plow.
There Is no war; they've stopped the
| scrap
They're raising wheat there now.

BUT ONE THOUGHT
ITO GO THROUGH
AND TO WIN"

A French woman writing to an AM
erican housewife says: But after all
We have hut one thought 1t is to go
through and Win"
All American housewives are at last
awake to this one thought: That this
war is deadly struggle for right and
liberty and that every woman in the
home. like every man at the front
must be ready to do her best to go
through and win.
Further on the letter reads: you
ask me to tell you what think We
need the most. think it is flour
wheat, all cereals in fact. We are
getting short OF many things. Every
thing is very expensive. Soap that
bought for about so centimes (six
cants) four years ago, cost now nearly
francs eighty cents) Olive oil has
advanced in the same proportion"
This is an. index to conditions in
France.
liz Italy, there is extreme need of
cereals and a scarcity OF meat, cod
fish and wheat.
England has met every reduction in
her ration with that same grim de-
termination with whcih she fights at
the front She has taken from her
own diminished food stores and shared
with France.
II America is to go through and
win she must begin to share the sac
r:fces as we'll as the victories of these
brave allies She must see that they
have their share OF the worlds re-
naming fcod supplies. The combined
population of the Allied European
Countries is about 100000. 1t is
the part Of every man, woman and
child here in America to see that in
so far as possible each shall have his
share OF the food supply.

has Teen told so often it needs no re-
telling here Americas reserve sup

There is not another French poll

there is no candy to be had and no
