The batteries today; McAdoo and Smith: Borah and Butler. We fail to see where popular gov ernment needs any defender. You rever can tell how far a man will go by how far he has gone. The average small boy is just waiting for April 12th to arrive. Paying overdue debts is hard work— don't let your subscription get behind. Well, to be honest, u-e have lost track of the number of wars now under way. Daugherty and Miller are on trial again. This is a picture of public service so called. If you want to maintain your be lief in friendship never try to borrow money from the friend. The Russian Soviet state is be coming civilized; its retail stores show a profit of 189 per cent. Our idea of an international joke is Panama's rage against the treaty with the United States. Some people are so ignorant as not to know whether Counte Bian is a boat or a man. Ponsonby, British Labor leader says war is founded on falsehood. He is very close to the truth. The South Dakota co-ed who de cided to rob a bank probably thought that higher education would pay. Correct this sentence: “I would like to have the job, but my op ponent is better qualified than I am." The ground-hog may have gone back into his hole but the hiber nating poets, it seems, think that spring has arrived. You never can tell what the world is coming to: Paris modistes exhibit harem skirts and 18fc>0 pan tellcttes to the ankles! The United States may not be long to the League but it, neverthe less, secs that an unofficial observer looks on the proceedings. Some people read everything in their newspaper except the subscrip tion label. They know that it is nothing to be proud about. The other day a man asked for an “extra piece of pie." The landlady replied. “You’ve been reading The Roanoke Beacon.” Ford, it is said, refused a billion dollars for his company. Have you anything that you would keep in preference to a billion dollars? John McCormack says Edward Johnson is the world's greatest ten or. Edward says it is John. Mary Carden, butting in. says it is neither. FREE TICKET TO GOSSIP TOWN •2-SXO* Have you ever heard of “Gossip Town," On the shore of “Falsehood Bay," Where old “Dame Rumor," with rustling gown. Is going the livelong day! It isn't far to “Gossip Town," For people who want to go, The “Idleness Train" will take you down In just an hour or so. The “Thoughtless Road" is a popu lar route And most foli« start that way, But it’s steep down-grade; and if you don't look out You will land in “Falsehood Bay" You will glide through the valley of “Vicious Talk," And into the "Tunnel of Hate;" Then crossing the "Ad-To-Bridge, vnii walk Right into the city gate. The principal street is called "They Say," And ‘Tve Heard," is the public well; And the breezes that blow from “Falsehood Bay Are laden with "Don’t You 1 ell. In the midst of the town is "Tell Tale Park;" You're never quite safe while there, For it's owner is "Madame Suspici ous Remark," Who lives on the street "Don t Care." Just back of the park is "Slander's Row," ‘Twas there that "Good Name" died Pierced by a shaft from "Jealousy s Bow," In the hands of ‘ Envious Pride." From Gossip Town, "Peace long since fled, But. Trouble, and Grief, and Woe. And Sorrow, and Care, you 11 meet instead, If ever you chance to go. —Mrs. IV. B.
