Song and Succotash

When I'm not toiling at my
Tyre, producing thrilling waves
of sound, Pm busy as house
afre, in my small plot of garden
ground. When I've turned out
an anthem sweet, designed to
soothe mems troubled souls, l
spade the dirt around a beet
and teach my beans to grow on
poles. A bard may chant an ode
or two, may write, perchance,
some soaring screeds, but to his
duty he's untrue if he neglects
to pull the weeds. For what
this country needs just now,
when everything kerhummixed
stands, is rot the product of the
brow-it IS the product of the
hands. Too many bask on beds
of ease, and write or sing or
paint or play, when they should
Doe the stringless peas and pluck
the fragrant bale of hay. If /
were young I'd soak my Tyre,
and quit this idle graft of song,
and in the furrow I'd perspire, or
whack up elm the whole day
long. But l am old and full Of
ard, and when I've worked an
hour or three, the neighbors
cad me from the yard and fan
NE with a cedar tree. And so |
loot the poets horn, but when
I've earned a sawbuck green, l
strive to grow an ear of corn, a
,arrot or a lima bean.

USE CoRNED BEEF, PLEA.
Federal Official Shows Relative
Value With Fresh Product.

Use more corn beef" urges W. A
Wheeler of the market information
bureau of the Agriculture Depart
ment. which is working in con;unc-
ton with the campaign of the War
department to reduce the cost of liv-
ing by releasing thousands of dollars
worth of canned meats.
Continuing, Mr.. Wheeler says:
With fresh beef selling at prices
ranging from 40 to rs cents per
pound retail, cooked corn beef, at %
cents per pound can. wholesale, costs
about one-fourth of the fresh meat
price on cooked and boned basis.
Its relative value, as compared to
fresh beef, such as porterhouse, round
and sirloin steaks and chuck and rib
roasts, can be readily seen when it is
understood that to produce one pound
OF canned corned beef it takes ap-
proxlmately two and one-half pounds
of boned beef

Washington, Feb. t6.-The American
Legion will proceed actively and ag-
gressively" with action to secure legis-
lation for ad justment Of war service COM
pensation on the basis Of $50, for each
month served, Franklin D'Olier, national
commander OF the legion announced to-
day. The national Legislative committee
was instructed to take up with members
of Congress legislation already proposed
for this purpose.
THE government saw fit to grant gov.

capitol" Mr.. D'Olier said. "Workmen
safely ensconced in shipyards and muni-
ton plants were rewarded for their war
service by exceptionally high wages.

want a reward for the performance OF
his duty az a citizen. the very performance
OF which will always be for him q source
of greatest personal satisfaction. His po-
sition in this matter is based upon sim

The American Legion was Informed at
that time that Congress awaited its views
on this subject and consequently gave
them expression, but left with confidence
TO Congress the necessary steps to carry
hem into effect. Congress has taken no
definite action toward that end in she
months that have elapsed since the con-
vention.
