as much trouble with men striking
for higher wages and shorter hours
as it does with floods and destructive
storms. We cannot at this time
between the regular meeting OF tht
p. o. Club prescribe remedy fol
the storms and floods, but if the mer
who employ organized labor wan
to stop these strikes for higher
wages, let them. arrange to- elec'
another Democratic. president. Thai
will fix the strikers and put them
on soup diet pretty blooming quick
By the very latest reports it is
said that the railroad track on Ea'
giles mere avenue, is, not disturbed
The blame for this shameful neglect
of the Leagues orders, can no longer
be laid at the Land Co.'s door; they
have granted the railroad people
what they asked for. So long as
this track will not be removed,
would it not be a wise plan for the
Boat Co. to grease the track and
some dark night slip their ice house
on it and see how far they could get
it from the 100 foot Reservation be-
fore daylight. ,,.
The p. 0. Club, in regular session,
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, that hereafter it shall not
be lawful to barrel the United States
mail and leave it standing on any
station, or shed or walk, while the
train is speeding downward to its
destination. And be it firmly re-
solved that this resolution shall hold
whether we, the people, get a. pass
for a dance platform or not; and last
ly resolved that, "we amt afraid Of
nothin' and nobody" In justice to
the Pass-accepting-President we
wish to state that he worked his
best to suppress the resolution, but
as the members had mailed postal
cards to friends in Sonestown, to
send them minnows for bass fishing,
they were in ''frothy" state, and
the Presidents efforts were futile.
Monsieur Bogart certainly made a
great big hit in cutting the hair of
the members of the Post Office Club.
The Club is now trying to decide
whether one hit makes a striker. If
it does Bogart will be taken Into the
Club and be permitted to wear the
Club badge all dey on Sundays and
after p. m. on week days.
1t has been the hope of certain in
dividuals, of mighty little impor-
tance in the make up of this great
universe, that the Eagles Mere
correspondence would be discontin-
ued during the summer season
when "people of some importance
and worth snap of the finger"
might read the Items. However,
we shall continue to give the news
real inside news-of the town, and
when excursions are on and people
of "some Importance" get to town,
we believe that much will occur that
will make interesting reading. The
plan is now to have the Item on the
news stands and a News agent will
sell the papers on the street. We
believe Mr.. Editor, that your paying
list of readers will be materially in
creased during the summer months.
There is man so well known that
it is not necessary to name him, who
thinks that if he should over-sleep
himself, or be disabled, that the
Lake would dry up and Eagles Mere
90 down. In fact he thinks he is
1T, in Italic capitals. He has taken
the trouble to tell young boys just
coming of age, that he is indeed the
genuine GIT" and if anyone was in
his employ and did not understand
that he was working for an "IT,''
and act accordingly, he would beout
of a job very quick. The members
of the P. 0. Club have always beer
quite jealous of this Great Big IT
until the other day they read in thu
papers that 'IT' was only a break
fast food, and that any child coult
eat it with little sugar and cream
How true it is, and yet how strange
that great big "ITS,' and little file
can be tanned with sugar and cream
