/ IN MASON'S BOOK
"URcle Walt, Editor Poet of
Kansas, Publishes Volume
Of Quaint Verse

Uncle Walt" has come out in book
form /"Uncle Walt is the bard whose
verse looks like prose up in the north
east corner of the editorial page of The
Call, but which, if you read 1t care
fully. will disclose frequent rhymes and
continuous meter. That proves that
1t is poetry. But Uncle Walt" realiz-
ing that there is little market for po-
etry these days, has had the diabolical
cunning to conceal his verse in the
shape of prose. In fact he perpetrates
verse sub prosa."
No less an authority on American
democracy than William Allen White.
the writer and editor, has said: Walt
Mason CUncle Waltz is the poet lau-
reate of the American democracy. He
is the voice of the people"
1t is impossible to refute William AL
len White.
The prose verse of Walt Mason is
published. as BELTS the themes, in a
homely little volume and illustrated
with the quaint limitations of woodcuts
that reflect the humor of the Kansas
poet. Walt Mason is the editorial
writer and telegraph editor on the En-
poria Gazette, and after his work in
preparing for publication an afternoon
paper is over he sits down and writes
his verse on the typewriter. The writ
lngS are pubEshed broadly in news
papers throughout the country and
Walt Mason is said to have asfollow-
ing such as no other living verse
writer enjoys.
The secret of his appeal is the home
liness of his writings. He has a shrewd
humor which tickles the fancy and
hits at the foibles of people we don't
like. His muse is versatile enough. On
page 102 he writes some conventional
ridiculous stuff about the baseball
pitcher and on page 104 is little lyric
on The Nameless Dead" which quivers
with pathos.
The title of the book is Uncle Walt.
1t will be on sale at the bookstores
while it lasts.
