THE SAMMY PAYS
BY Jesse F. Gelders

At the station when the coaches
Bearing soldiers bound for Franc
Rumble up, crowd approaches
With ballyhoo and dance;
And market scene it stages
While the army follows drop
Goodly portion of their wages
For the lemon pies and pop.
Things that never cost a ripple
Over just lonesome jit
Sell for double or for triple
When the soldier boy is ct"
Pop with thirst allaying trickle
Sells at profits that's immense
When it ought to bring nickel,
Sammy pays his fifteen cents.
But an. ordinaucelis coming s>4t,ss
Which will break thunderstorm
Over those who do their cumming
On the soldiers uniform.
1t will break their game asunder-
Whence their evil Golfer reeks;
1t will wipe the vicious plumber
From their dirty vulture beaks.
1t will give long vacation
On rather gen'ral plan
To the Decentralization
Who would gig the army man;
To the bird who'd plumber any,
From a homeless orphan up
Who would stoop to steal a penny
From sightless beggar's cup!

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Prohibition of the manufacture of beer, beginning Dec. 1, had a depressing influence to- day on the corn market. Largely as a result, prices closed unsettled, 12C to 11sc net lower. with October at SI.571s to $1.574 and Nocember at S1.561s to S1.56A Oats finished 1-Sc to ssc off and provisions varying from a 1Oc decline to 25c advance.
 An opinion became widespread that barley when no longer taken by the brewers would be chiefly consumed as feed, and would thus to a cOnsid erable extent reduce the feeding de mand for corn. Accordingly, moder ate price upturns which had resulted from week end evening up or trades and from lightness of receipts, were more than cOunterbalanced. Predic tions of a livelier movement of corr to primary centers next week tende- likewise to handicap the bulls, and so, too, did uncertaintly in regard to what showing would be made by the government crop report on Monday.
 Oats were governed almost entire ly by corn.
 Covering by snorfs rallied pork from
 asevere decline. caused by lack ci support. Higher quotations on hogs helped to strengthen Trad and ribs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The stock market made substantial recovery during today's two-hour session from the shock sustained by yesterdays an nOuncement respecting control of members loans. Trading was natur- ally restricted, however, by reason of that condition, and the religious holi- day also caused a reduced attendance of brokers.
 The steady progress of the allied ad- vance induced considerable short GOV ering, notably in U. s. Steel and other speculative favorites. Rails also were inclined to strength, although Union Pacific and St. Paul were somewhat backward. the latter forfeiting part of yesterdays gain. Coppers were again in dsnand. Sales amounted to 1S0,O0O shares.
 Dealings in exchange were nominal, but changes were significant, in that they once more moved against neutral centers, particularly Spain and Switz erland.
 The bank statement was noteworthy for the large expansiOn-almost $120, OO0 ,000-in actual loans, with a result ant increase of almost SS3,000,000 in net demand deposits 2

MUST PRINT PRICES.
(By A. P. Correspondence.) ]

PARIS, Aug. PA presidential de- cree directing that the price of food served in restaurants must be plainly shown on placards is now in effect in all parishes of over 5000 inhabi- tants throughout France. The decree is intended to protect American sol diers and workers from being fleeced by restaurants. At the same time it will be cf use to the ministry of food for the control of retail prices.
 The Intransiglant tells a story of an American officer being charged S1.60 for slice of melon in a restaurant, which did not mark any prices on the menu. The paper points out that the melon would cost S3, and would give ten slices, so that the restaurant made a profit of 450 per cent.

MOVIE STARS WILL PAY
MILLIONS FOR warfare
Mary PiCkfOrd VIII PungIe Up
$23O,OOO and Other CeEe-
britieS In Proportion

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 13.-Millions
from the "movies" for America, is
the maxim of such of filmdom IS fore
most stars as Mary Pickford, Douglas
Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Treda Bara,
William S. Hart and other cinema eel
ebrities.
Called upon by the government for
payment of taxes, war and otherwise,
they are preparing to pour into the
war chest of the nation sum that will
make some of the money barons' tax
receipts shrink by comparison.
Easily over, a million dollars will be
paid by only few of America IS picture
players, it was learned today when fig
ures gathered by the United Press from
the stars themselves, showed a total
running into nine figures. Leading the
list is Douglas Fairbanks, whose in.
come tax and excess profits tax, to-
gether with other taxes levied by the
government is $450,00O. Fairbanks sec
retary announced the figures after con-
sulting with the United States Tax Col
leetor Carter.
Mary Pickford hands Uncle Sam her
check for $4,000, levied on her 1917
earnings as income tax, war income tax,
excessive profits tax, surtax and other
members of the tax family since Ho-
henzollernism came to be the thing to
be democra tized at whatever the cost.
If 1918 figures were counted Char
Chaplin passes the government $780,
over half million dollars Based on
1917 income, on which tax is levied,
Chaplin passes tire government $780,
900. This figure, his secretary insisted
on explaining, was due to Chaplin being
idle number of months of the year
when he completed a contract in mid
year and then devoted his time to build
ing his studio.
Theda Bara, whose secretary admits
pays can enormous" income tax, is
reticent about actual figures, neverthe-
less.
cit is not matter on which the pub
lie should be informed" she believes,
and is echoed by lesser lights.

Stone vigorously denounced the ac.

to wipe engines, shovel coal and do
track work.
England only did it after three
years of war" Stone said, "and even
they were placed at inside positions.

Stone attacked the railroads for for

Stone in complaining of the long
hours of service stated that 20 and 30

and that he had known engineers to

"Last year there were total of
101 ,966 cases where men worked more
than 16 hours day." Stone said.
There is only one remedy for this,

Thompson for Peace

st. Louis. No, Feb. 13.-Mayor vii
liam Hale Thompson of Chicago, re-
publican national committeeman from
illinois, offered a resolution to the
committee late yesterday in which he
called upon the party to exert its in
fluence that the people may be up
held in their proper freedom to discuss
the objects of the existing war. F"
The resolution was referred to the
resolution committee.
It cited the power of congress to de-
clare war and continued:
EBut as a restraint upon this power
the constitution expressly limits the
life of the appropriations Of money to
that use for a term not to exceed wo
years with the manifest intention of
vesting in the people the final voice
as to the wisdom and purposes of their
own conflicts and policies relating
thereto. -
The committee is further called up
on to use its Influence for "free dis
cussion as to the completeness of prep
araSon and equipment, the efficiency
Of the wars conduct, the adequate
ness Of national defense, the expense
in money and men confronting us and
the terms upon which they are willing
TO conclude a Just, honorable and en-
during peace. "
