"I havo never seen live men so far apart as Lord Rhondda and Mr Hoover work better together," said Sir William Goode in an address before the London Rotary Club. "'Hoarding lias Ueen <lefined by the United States as the homing by dealers of more than 30 dayssupplies and the purchase Tsy individual consumers of more than the usual amounts. The American people are novr asked to observe for our sakes a wheatless Monday and Wednesday, a meatless Tuesday, and one meatless ancr one wheatless meal every day. Can you wonder that the following poem is liaving wide circulation:^ My Tuesdays are meatless, My Wednesday's are wheatless, I am getting more eatless each day My home it is heatlcss, My bed it is sheetless, They're all sent to the Y.M.'C.A.

My coffee is sweetlese; Each day I get poorer and wiser. My stockings are feetless, My trousers are seatless. My! How I do hate the Kaiser.
