How They Became sammIes.

It has been reserved to the Paris Figaro to discover. in the American slang dictionary. the true" origin of the tern. Sammy" as expressive of the Amer; ,an Tommy" says the Christian Scierr Monitor. The expression did not originate in France. but at West Point. in 1870. when a certain Lieuten- ant Mills was manager of the mess. The fare included some formidable sandwiches of bread and molasses. Only the cadet who had consumed six of these substantial sandwiches in sue cessien was allowed to bear the appel lation of Sammy" All of which sounds like . very plausible attempt. on the part of the French poilu. to dis claim credit for the cognomen which caused 70 much dissatisfaction with the American troops when 1t was first heard at . French landing port.

ODE TO ARMY BLANKETS

ODI Ao LhAkuAA A DANhkNAACAo Here's a bit of real soldier dogger- el, inclosed in a soldiers letter from France, author unknown. It is said to be one of the most popular ballads in use among members of the American expeditionary force: I'm here with my army blankets, AS thin as a slice of ham; A German spy I think was the guy Who made 'em for Uncle Sam. How do I sleep? Don't kid me; My bedtick is filled with straw, And Jumps and humps and big fat
 bumps
 That punch me until I'm raw. Me and my two thin glankets As thin as my last thin dime; As thin, I guess, as a chorus girls
 dress:
 We'll, I have one heck of time. I pull 'em up from the bottom,
 (My nighties are B. V. D.'s) A couple of yanks to cover my shanks, And then my tootsies freeze. You could use 'em for porous plas-
 ters,
 Or maybe to strain the soup; My pillows my shoes when l try to
 snOoze,
 And I've chilblains and cough and
 croup. Me and my two thin blankets
 Bundled up under my chin; Yes, a German spy, l think was the
 guy,
 And gosh. but he made 'em thin.

CHORUS
THE NECESSITY OF SAVING

America. generally speaking is cX-
periencing the first real schooling in
saving that she has ever had. Thrift
has never been predominant Amer
lean quality. We have always stood
close to the foot of the class of ma
tons in the per capita showing of our
counts. Americans have been pecu-
liarly prodigal. With us it has been
come easy, go easy"
But the world war is changing all
this.
Never before has saving been so ne
cessary. Never have the demands up
on us individually, whether for our
homes, our city charitable activities,
or our national needs, been so great,
so persistent. Nor has the impulse to
respond to our country's demands
ever been so keen with most of us.
For we are beginning finally to APP
preciate that to win this war our sol!
dlers and sailors must have our whole
hearted, sympathetic and free handed
backing. With this they will become
an irresistible force for democracy
and world peace. Without it they
cannot but doubt that the country is
really back of them. Without ii there
can be no staunch, steadfast, do or
die national morale
And that we must have.
, Saving requires no special training,
no technical knowledge, no exception
al talents. Anyone can do it, The
basis of it all is self denial, the back
bone of it all is the will to save. Thrift
becomes as much habit in time as
extravaganza.
But there's a vast difference in the
success of the individual as 1t is right
now to the welfare and future of the
nation.
Get into training, There's another
bond issue coming.

WEED MARKETS
SHOW ACTIVITY
IN KENTUCKY
Burley Tobacco Goes to Highest Price
Level During Neutrality-suspicious.
Trend Upward.

Notwithstanding the rapid absorb
ton of the 1917 crop of tobacco dur
ing the most active part of the winter
and spring sales season, tobacco mar
kets of Kentucky show rather eX-
tensive business for the month of
June, 1918, the official report of Com
missioner of Agriculture Mat. S. Co
| hen, indicating a total of 5,4S5,O56
pounds, representing a valuation of
| $1,065 ,60772 an average 1894 per
| 100 pounds. 1t is interesting to note
that while the total quantity of to-
bacco sold in June was GO per cent.
less than that disposed of during the
preceding month of May, the actual
value fell only Sd per cent, indicating
general strengthening of prices in
all markets of the state.
Burley tobacco reached its highest
level during June, total of 1,476,761
pounds bringing an average of $32,24
per 100 pounds, which was an in
crease over the May average of $2.71
per 100 pounds. Other averages in
June compared as follows with May
averages: One-Sucker increased $25S
per 100 pounds; unfired dark increas-
ed sc per 100 pounds; fired dark in
creased 25c per 100 pounds; Green
River decreased $3.50 per 100 pounds
The grand total average increased
S2.62 per 100 pounds.
High prices for leaf tobacco seem
assured for long time to come, say
experienced tobacco men. The 1918
planting in Kentucky the worlds lar
gest tobacco-producing section, is be-
lieved to be somewhat under that of
last year, but even wit ha crop this
year slightly larger than last quota
tions will trend steadily upward, it is
said, because of the increasing de-
mand at home and abroad for tobac-
co products of every description.

spite of the presence of the officers

as strong note of historic appeal as

the charter orphan, the drudge of n

In this way the past and present are
made to meet. and Will there are no
scenes not laid in the present, the
orphan imagines herself clad in mail
at the head of besicging army. Her
imagination, of course, takes definite
form on the screen and the child is
actually seen by the audience in the
armor of Joan of France.

PREVENTION MEASURES AGAINST
ROPE IN BREAD

The Bakers Weekly makes the fol-
lowing suggestions to avoid rope" in
bread:
First. Make your doughs slightly
acid. This can be done by using a
commercial acid, several varieties of
which are on the market today, or by
the use of small quantity of vine
gar in the doughs-about l pint for
every 100 pounds of -four and substi-
tutes used. Buttermilk in either
fresh, condensed, or powdered form is
i recommended on account of its Tactic
acid content and its healthfulness-
containing much additional nourish-
ment. Fresh buttcrmilk should be
| used, quarts to each pail of -
quarts; condensed buttermilk, 3
ounces to each quart of water; pow
| dered buttermilk, l ounce to each
quart of water
Second Use a short-spOnge meth
cd wherever possible, putting no GER
cal substitutes into the sponge; but
reserving them to be placed in the
dough; and the dough, after the
sponge is ready, should be worked nm
as quickly as possible and gotten out
of the way, so that the substitute GER
calls will not remain in the dough any
too long.
Third. More yeast is necessary TO
handle doughs in shorter time; and
as the mixture of floor and substi-
tutes contains % per cent less gluten
than formerly, % per cent more yeast
should be used, because the longer
these substitutes lie in the dough the
more chance there is for developing
rope. More yeast and a cool dough.
by all means, are advisable.
Fourth. Wash your benches.
troughs, and boxes with a strong vine
gar once a week; keep your shop well
aired, and leave some limcwater in
open vessels in your flour room or
near your flour and cereal supply.
Fifth. Should a case of rope oc-
cur, or any trouble which YOU have
never seen before, get in touch i'm
mediately with the Food Administra-
ton or with the National Service
Committee, so that you will get inn
mediate assistance and advice.
