We read it every Thursday in The

And when we git through readin' OF
the shootin' scrapes and all,
We're mighty glad we're livin' where
the medder grass is tall.
We read about the raisin' Of the price
of gasoline,
And we are glad that we don't own
a whizzle-c cart machine
The city folks are losin' all their
noses and their ears
A-dodgin of the autos and the hoss-
less trolley keers.
The city folks are held up when
they're goin' home at night.
The way the thugs are workin' is as
suredly a fright.
And when we come to size up all the
trickery and gall,
We're mighty glad we're living where
the medder is tall.

poundin' at his door,
The city man has surely got a grave
financial chore.
He's got to pay for gas and ice ant
telephones and SIGH,
And has no air to breathe no matter
If he's poor or rich.
His folks they so away and leave him
Twin at his club.
He suffers indigestion and he can
enjoy his grub.

This attitude Of the Royal Yacht
Squadron with regard 10 the New York
Yacht Club and to American yachtsmen
as such generally has resulted in the
gradual disappearance Of the American
flag from the Solent during the Cowes

A feature Of the Cowes week is the
annual banquet Of the squadron at the
castle. at which King George Will pre-
side this wee. in his capacity as ad-
uairal just as his father was won't 10
do before him. This year the chief
guest viii be King Alfonso Of Spain.
Among other sovereigns who have been
entertained at these dinners have been

II is only fair 10 add that the Eng sh

who turned up at Cowes during the re-
gatta week undismayed by the lack If
any welcome on the part of the Royal
Yacht Squadron. which is the only great
yachting organization-it is admittedly
the premier in this branch of sport
that does not exchange courtesies witt

matter Of that with any other kindred
