Boost The Man Who Tries

Cheer the man who tries to win:
Play fair and give him show.
We all make mistakes and fail,
There's none of us perfect you know.
Playing the game is no picnic,
Life is no song and dance.
When man tries to win, but fails,
Boost for him, give him chance.
Cheer the man who tries to win;
Help him the failures to bear,
Give him a boost and helping hand
See that the game is square.
Don't condemn and roast him,
When his score runs low.

Cheer him up, give him show.

and other upland game opened and
until Oct. 81 it will be lawful to hunt

very few hunters will be oyer-burden-

will foregO the pastlme this year on
