Why Boys Leave Home.

Why did you leave the farm, my lad?
Why did you bolt and leave youi
dad?
Why did you beat it off to town?
And turn your poor old father down?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit and
press
Are wallowing in deep distress,
They seek to know the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their pals.
"Well, stranger, since you've been so
frank,
I'll roll aside the hazy bank.
left my dad, his farm, his pillow
Because my calf became his COW.
left my dad, twas wrong, of course,
Because my colt became his horse.
| left my dad to sow and reap,
Because my lamb became his sheep.
dropped my hoe and struck the
fork
Because my pig became his pork.
The garden truck that / made grow
Was his to sell, and mine to hoe.
It's not the smoke in the atmosphere,
Nor the taste for life that brought
me here.
Please tell the platform, pulpit, press
No fear of the toll nor love of the
dress
Is driving off the Farmer Lads
It's Just the methods of their Dads. "

A WAR OVER LEGS
NOW STIRS GOTHAM
INVASION OF A PARIS DANCER
CREATES STORM. CLAIMS
THE WORLDS BEST.

NEW YORK, N. WHEN Mile.
Dites Mistinguett announced on her
arrival in New York that she had the
most beautiful legs in the world she
started something.
Is is true she is the darling of the
Cafe de Paris and startled the boule-
wards of France in the famous
Apache dance-but-if the symme-
try and fascination of her. nimble
feet and ankles, plus ultra, are so
utterly superlative-she must prove
it.
She has got to prove it to none
other than Ann Pennington, famous
Broadway dancer, whose under
standing" is SO perfect that poets
rave about it.
She has got to prove it to Pearl
Eaton, another Rialto favorite, whose
beauty is not all in her blonde curls
and blue eyes.
Both artists today took exception
to the claims of the Partisan.
And both are more than anxious
to take the question before a compe-
tent jury.
Listen to Ann!
81 have never seen Mile. Mistin-
quett," said Miss Pennington, "but
l think my legs are just as beautiful
as hers-unless someone has been
spoofing me. And besides l know
how to use mine. If Mile. Mistin-
guett would like to enter a little con-
test l would be more than willing to
go in, too. l wonder whether she
would show them to jury to decide.
l will"
Pearl Eaton is even more emphatic
about it.
maybe they like legs, ah-er, very
SLENDER in France" she said, "but the
world is 'awfully big and there are
many legs Mr.. Ziegfeld tells me my
legs are much prettier. Of course, |
don't like to talk about myself, but
Mile. Mitinguett has got to prove it
to me before l go back stage and
shed any tears. l certainly will let
the jury decide any day"
"My friends have been very kind, "
mademoiselle said in Casino de Paris
English. "They say my legs are the
most beautiful of all. Myself, do not
know. 1t has been so difficult to keep
them nice and soft. The muscles al
ways wish to stand out. My masseuse
will not let them and | spend hours
every day taking milk massage"
"But it is not the beautiful legs
alone that makes the dancer" she
continued. at is the arms and every
thing"
Ann Just Got Hers.
Miss Pennington says she does not
go in for milk massage.
81 just got mine, that's all" she
said.
Miss Eaton gives credit for her
perfection to early athletic activity.
1t was predicted today that many
of the beautiful legs now on strike
will come scam erirg back to Broad
way to contest the claims of the
charming invader.

HUN CHIEF DELEGATE
CRITICAL OF WILSON

BERLIN, May 3O.-"The theme OF
President Wilson is a very ticklish
one" was a statement made by Count
Won B%rockdorff- Rantzau, chief of the
German peace delegation at Versailles,
according to the correspondent Of the
Deutsche Zeitung, "for Mr.. Wilson Is
the father of u surrender Of arrns
The German people counted on him and
have voluntarily made themselves de-
fenseiess on his IA points. Our counter
proposals were based on them"
The correspondent represents the
count as critical, II not unfriendly to-
ward America. HIS quotes him as say
ing If the present terms are enforced
the conclusion must be drawn that all
declarations during the war, especially
those of President Wilson, were moth
ing less than a military ruse which de-
eeived the German people and govern
ment."
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, ac-
cording to the correspondent, denies
persistent stories as to differences be-
tween members of the delegation and
the cabinet or that the meeting at
Spa had any significance being neces-
sary because faulty wire connections
prevented communication between Yer
