STARVING no DEATH ON A
GOVERNMENT CLAIM

'.'... a.
Frank Baker my name, an old bach
elor I am, rt3
I'm keeping old batch ON an ele-
giant plan,
You'll ind me out West in a coun-
try Of fame,
A starving to death on a govern
ment claim.
My house is built of The, natural soil,
The walls are erected according
to H0yl..
The roof has no pitch, but is per-
fectly plain,
I'm sure to get wet if it happens
to rain.
My clothes they are ragged, my
language is tough,
My carcass is hardened, both solid
and tough,
My traps lie scattered all over the
room, ..
>The floor would sure buck at
the sight OF broom.
Hurrah. for my country, the land Of
the free.
The home OF the grasshoppers. bed
bug and fee,
I sing of it's praises and tell Of it's
fame, ...~.s4s
While starving to death on a gov
eminent claim.
My dishes are scattered all over my
bed, 3'sst #sMfs
All covered with sorghum aud gov
eminent bread, 90
But still I am happy aud live at my
ease,
On common sap-sorghum and ba-
con and cheese.
How happy l am as l crawl into bed.
The rattlesnake rattles tune at
my head,
The gay little centipede void OF all
fears,
Crawls over my neck and into my
ears.
And the little bed-bug so cheerful
and bright,
He. keeps me a laughing two
thirds Of the night,
The gay little flea with tacks on his
toes,
Plays "Why Don't You Catch Me-
all over my nose.
Then come to my country, there's
room for us all,
Where the wind never ceases and
the rains never fall,
The sun never sets, but will always
remain
Till 1t burns us all up on gov
eminent claim.
1 had nothing when I staked on my
claim,
And nothing from nothing and
nothing remains.
l have nothing to eat and nothing
to wear,
So nothing from nothing is just
and fair.
Now all You claim holders. | hope
you willstay,
And chew yonr hard tack till
you're toothless and gray.
But as for myself, Ill no longer
remain,
And starve like dog on a gov
ernment claim.
Farewell to this country, farewell to
the west,
l travel back east to the place
love best:
I'll stop in Missouri and get me a
wife.
And live on corn dOdger the rest
Of my life.

.DENMAN TESTIFIES
IN SHIPPING CASE
Says Great Britain
Attempted to Influence
Government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Furth-
er testimony that Great Britain at
tempted to influence the war time
shipping policy of the American
government was given Wednesday
by William Denman OF San fran
cisco, first chairman Of the board,
before the special house committee
investiga ting operations Of. the fed
eral shipping agency.
Mr. Denman charged that the
British mission which came to the
United States in April, 1917, and
which was headed by Arthur J. Bal
four. had undertaken to influence
the shipT ing board and had sue
ceeded in getting one of its mem
bers elected to an administrative
board which Mr.. Denman said he
had attempted 10 organize In New
York to function with the shipping
board
Four Britishcrs Present.
The member of the British mis-
sion elected TO this advisory board,
he said was Sir ConnoD Guthrie.
Mr.. Denmau told the committee
that ne did not know how Sir Con-
mop was elected-that it happened
between noon and half past three
afternoon-but tnat he had learned
thai three or four members Of the
British mission were present.
Afterwards the shipping board
had a warm session" he continued.
ut lasted 20 minutes and all that
had been transacted at the previous
session was wiped out"
The witness intimated that his
insistence that the board be kept
free from British influence had
had more to do with his resignation
as chairman "than anything else"
He testified that while he wanted
British cooperation, he did not want
Great Britain to influence the
board.
