New "Meatiess Day"
Effusion,

Carrie Jacobs Bond ought to be list
cd with the war casualties. Since the
inauguration Of meatiess days and
wheatless days amateur bards have
done horrible things to "a Perfect
Day" The latest of these was clipped
from the Oronto (Wis.) Enterprise, by
a correspondent and sent to The Mis-
souGan. 1t deserves reprinting for the
reason that it is the first cheerful paro-
dy. 1t follows:
The End Of . Hoover Day.
have come to the end of meatless
day
And peacefully lying in bed
My thoughts so out in a musing way
To the food which today I've been fed.
When / think OF the cheese and the
beans and fish
And oysters I've had to eat,
I've no regrets for the good old days.
l really don't miss the meat.
l have come to the end of wheatiess
I have eaten no cookies or pie.
I have had no bread that was made
with wheat.
1t was out of corn and rye,
And liked it SO well that when war
is past
And a glorious victory won.
I'll keep on observing wheatless days
And I'll eat corn pone for fun.

During the latter months of the
Civil war the Confederate army
subsisted almost entirely upon
the simple diet of parched corn
That alone, enabled the soldiers
Of Lee and Jackson to stand of
Grant for almost a year. Sassa-
fras was used instead of tea
leaves. Scuthcrners of that pc,
Rod who still survive are doubt
less amused by the possibilities
of starvation within a year as
held out to us by some of the
pessimists at Washington.

Up TO YOU, GENTLEMEN.

We call the attention of Off
Gals, federal. state aud county, to
the renewed activities Of the |. w.
w. agitators in the lumber camps
of western Montana. These men,
after a period of quicsccucc, fol-
lowing the delayed, though Wig
orous cleanup by the federal gov
|crnment a few months ago. have
been quietly sncaklng back to re-
new their devillsh work. They
arc driving honest men from en-
ploymcnt by threats and propa-
ganda and in this way are Sc
Irlously retarding the prosecution
Of the war.
There is nothing more impor-
tant in war work than the lumber
industry, and it must continue
without interference.
No time should be lost by Gov
ernor Stewart and the federal Of.
ficials in Montana in inquirine
into this situation and reachins
out with strong hands for the Of,
TENDERS. We do not want to Sc,
such disorder as is likely to fol
low, if the people become discuor
Jagged over the Indifference of of
ficials and seek the only remed,
that lies in their hands. 1t is tn
duty of the officials themselves t
prevent that and they will be he'll
Istrictly accountable for anythin
that may develop from this Sc
r!egs and trying situation. .,.z

REPORTS AMERICAN HELD BY
GERMANS IN BAD STATE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 1.-lAssociated Press)
a Russian prisoner who recently re-
turned from Germany has made a
statement at Moscow which now is
available here. to the effect that he
saw American prisoners of war in
camp at Tuchel, West Prussia. and
that they asked him to let it be known
that they were being treated brutaIly.
The prisoners said they were hungry
and penniless.
When the Americans arrived at the
camp, according to this account, the
Germans removed all their clothes.
They were particularly anxious to
have the Americans shoes. They
told the prisoners they should not
wear expensive clothing and shoes
while working and that their property
would be taken care of until their
return to America The Russian said
however, that every one knows what
that means. A consul, the Russian
was not sure whether he was a Swiss
or Spaniard. visited the camp. Com
plant was made to him by the Aneri-
cans and their clothes We're returned.
but as thu consul seldom visited the
camp the Germans had opportunities
to practice many injustices-
The Russian said eight Americans
captured several months ago reached
the camp at midday and being very
hungry. asked for bread. They were
told bread was distributed only in the
morning. They were placed in a hut
with Russians, after being required to
stand in a square where Germans were
given an opportunity to insult them.
The huts in which the Americans are
living the Russian said, are damp,
cold and unfit for habitation. Some
of the Americans became ILL., Two of
them who were in a hospital had an
opportunity there to talk with the
Russian and IL was through them
that he obtained the information on
which his statement is based.

THE DEVIL RESIGNS

The devil sat beside a lake

His tail was between his legs.
A look OF shame was on his face

To the throne up in the skies.

He said it with a sob;

And / want to quit my job.
