An office is Il funny thing: Each morn

And hang their coats on certain pegs.
their hats on certain hooks,
And sit them down ut certain desks in
front OF certain books.
They all hav" certain work TO do In just
Il certain time.
Concerning certain dollars for certain
fixed per diem:
And then at just Il certain hour. IN sun
shine or in rain,
They close their desks and hurry out 10
catch Il certain train.
An office is n tragic thing when that Is
all there is.
When each one has his certain work and
certain way Of his
And wallows In 4 certain rut and never
seems TO sec
That there are certain other ones In life

For we would find certain fun In GER
tain other ways,
IF we would give word OF cheer on
certain busy days
When problems vcx. when certain things

Would give Il certain sympathy that

An office il Il pleasant p!aCc-T-at least.

THE CONTENT TO ABIDE"

In his last address to Congress the
President in speaking OF Germany WAS
pleased to say that I'VE were content
to abide tho rivalries Of manufacture
science and commerce that were IN
volved for us IN her success Who
was content? No one but you, Mr..
Wilson. and your free trade party, who
reversed the axiom that benevolent
impulses should be first stirred by
home needs. And it was you, MT
President, who insisted on encourag-
ing the situation with tariff law so
low there's nothing 'twixt It and free
trade. German scissors cut our Red
Cross bandages, and the German work
men who made tho scissors got one
third the American wage. German
razors cut the throat OF the American
industry with a wage scale In the Ger
man industry Of from $3.50 to $500 a
week. From 1897 to 1918, under pro
tcction, the American production or
nocket knives Increased TO $A000,0On
annually. During that period German
interests came over to our country am
established three factories represent
ing an investment Of 100000 and add
ing $50 men to the payroll OF American
labor. That showed their appreciation
OF protection. But in 1914 our pocket
knife industry went bingo! because
Democratic duty rates had turned our
market back to tho Hun exactly as Gid
the Wilson-Gorma law Of 1S93-97.
There was a German mark on this
and a German brand on that and
German label on the other. until man
didn't know whether he was in Buffalo
or Bavaria. II he could raise enough
loose change to buy his wife and Kids

Or if he was down to the soup carr
and wanted to sec how long before |,
came around, he found himself stared
at through the jewelers. window by
German clock. Finally, if in despair
he took the carbolic acid route, ne
swallowed the German dope and they
carted him off to the potters' field IN
p coffin with German silver handles.
Content to abide?" Not by Cor;
man iugruI. This country will agree
10 do its utmost to help win the war.

TO betray industrial America to Ger
