Catch snnset-central and hang on her
You'n ind the name Christmas just as it
Is enough to cause Central to throw up her
1 hands.
From Border to Gulf there thunders roar,
Which means that she's after the holiday
She gathers with teeth. with toes and elbows,

A dozen heet-loads for the Japanese shore.

And olio butter which. of course. is for

We hope you'll continue to help us along
And may we each year when Christmas Is

Be each to the other brotberly crew."
