When the pie was finished not a single ounce of wheat had gone into its makeup, and not an ounce of meat, and yet it had a flavor 30 wholesomely its own, that mother saw its merlts and seized upon the phone! = She called up all the ladies and asked them in to tea, and told them of her wondrous new war-time recipe. She gave them each a sample and asked ‘their plain advice, and every lady present pronounced it very nice! NOW in our little village that pie is all the rage, and not a single husband suspects the camouflage! The four-and-twenty blackbirds are never known to sing like those in that old jingle when placed before the king; but over in the trenches these sad and troubled days, the well-fed boys in khaki are singing mother’s praise! A man is like a phonograph in one respect; he must have an. unblemish- ed record to produce the best resuits. * * *® FUNNY, ISN'T IT, THAT IN THE OLDEN DAYS PEOPLE USED TO START THE FIRE WITH FLINT WHEN SO MANY MATCHES WERE MADE RIGHT BEFORE THE FIRE- PLACE? * * * If it wasn’t for mixing engineer- ing with physiology, we’d sure call the submarine a “blood-vessel”! * * * : “The early bird catches the worm”; it would seem then that the worm was the fellow who should have remained in bed an hour or two longer. * * * IF WASTE MAKES WANT, WHO WANTS WASTE? * * %* PROPOSING IN SLANG “D’ye get me, dear?” asked anxious Ned; X, follow you!” fair Susie said. * ok x "The man who had just bought a sack of white flour and the accom- paniments came home and was pre- sented by the nurse with a beautiful pair of twins—one girl and one boy: “Er-er-er,” stammered the dumb- founded fellow, ‘_‘whlch one is the sub- stitute?” * * * “Miss Johnson, we have been friends for many years; you have shown me many kindnesses, and now I pro- “Oh, John, I have waited so long for this!

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have been reading the Leader now for a year and a half, and it is the best paper that comes to my house out of eight that I get every week. If we only could get the Leader into the homes of every farmer and laboring man in this good old U. S. A, we would then be able to give some light on what the League stands for. As it is, too many people are reading the kept press which is trying its best to keep the public blindfolded. I see we are to sell our wheat for $2.20, based on the Chicage market.. I would like to have some one show me how we can farm at a profit at such prices. Hired help has increased 35 per cent, machinery 100 per cent and food 100 per cent. Now I would like to see the men who are fixing the price on farm products and who are letting Bib Biz put whatever price it sees fit on everything that the farmer has to buy, try the farming game at this time, and see where they would come out, : b 28 ; PETER WULLUM.
