Chinprints
Better Than Fingerprints
for Huns.
~ ARTHUR c"6uGs') BAER.
Why fingerprint our enemy aliens?

Why flngerprint our enemy aliens
We ought to chinprint em. That's
where most of the trouble starts. Sixty
thousand alien enemies waving their
chins do more damagestha 10000 :sli'-
ems waving their fingers. Admitting
that their bark is worse than their
bite, we should cancel both the bite
and the bark.
Eliminating the bark would save
acoustics and prohibiting the bite
| would save pies and doughnuts. Pies
and crullers are getting SO scarce that
| the government placed an embargo on
| em. This is serious matter for
patriots, as the pie is the national flag
| of New England and the doughnut is
the favorite melody of the south. If
we erased 10000 alien chins from the
pie tournament we would have 10000
mere pies left for our patriotic slack
ers who are fighting on this side of
the Atlantic.
Lots of patriotic Americans are will
ing to eat for their country. The ter
rors of war to the knife fails to in
timidate them just so long as the knife
has pie on it. But now that the gov
eminent intends to stop the publishing
of pies and doughnuts, this war is
getting to be a serious affair, 1t looks
as II the war has finally started.
The only ointment in the fly is that
the government will allow pies to be
printed provided that the bakers dilute
the pies with other materials. Two,
thirds of the pie can be white flour
but the other third must be zinc, pew
ter or hay. This will lead to SONS
, hybrid pie baking. or course. n two
Z thirds wheat and one-third rubber pi'

MONTANA FOR MONTANANS

rick, private at Camp Mills,

The two were married by wire

departure for France. But it
isn't the unique wedding service
which fascinates people most.
Rather, the event arouses a
sympathy, an understanding, a
fellow feeling for the bride and

HOW SOLDIER WAS
welded By WIRE

Private Homer r. Orrick
OF De Soto, Kan, was mar
ried in Camp Mills, N. Y, by
telegraph to Miss Goldie l..
Garden Of Lenape, Kan.
With an officiating clergy
man and witnesses at each
end of the wire, all parts of
the marriage ceremony were
sent by wire and repeated to
the principals by the clergy
men.
The brides sister, in Kan
sas, then placed a wedding
ring on her finger, and on
Long Island, the best man did
likewise for the bridegroom.
The ceremony ended by the
bride and bridegroom placing
their hands on duplex tele-
graph keys, 1900 miles apart,
which correspond to their
taking each others hands.
The brides clergyman was
the Rev. F. A. Streeter, a
Baptist minister or Armour
dale, Kan, and the BRIDE
groom's was the Rev. s. L.
Curtice, rector of the First
Methodist church of Hemp
stead, l.. l.
The marriage telegraph
tolls were $5.37.
