JUST TEXAS, THAT'S ALL

Way down on the banks of the

The Georgia troops have taken
their stand,
Why we are out here who can
say?
Nor is it recorded how long we
will stay.
They brought us out to Fl Paso
town,
In the heart of a desert and sat
us down.
We gazed around, but nowhere
could we see
Not even a blade of grass, nor a
single tree.
And to the south, a scant stones
throw
You stumble into a post labeled
Mexico.
Now over there, so they tell
me,

unhealthy.
You can bet l keep off Mexico's
soil.

er boil,
And every Greaser that | chance
to meet,
Gets all the road by a good ten
feet.
And when we have gotten used
to the sand,
They made us drill to beat the
band.
It's up at reville and all the
day,
We hike and drill as much as they
say.
When at last the day of rest rolls
round,
The sand takes wings and leaves
the ground,
Through the atmosphere it scars
as thick,
AS the waters of the great and
mighty Pacific.

MAYOR GAMBLER MAKES
NO IDLE PROMISES

Atlanta, Ga, January BE
Ilevlng that too much promise
and too little performance has
characterized municipal admin
istratlons in Atlanta, Mayor Asa
G.. Gambler, who took the oath of
office last night, refrained from
mentioning a single project in his
inaugural address.
Instead of declaring himself in
favor of more and better schools
more and prettier parks, more and
better streets, larger and better
police and fire departments, and
all OF those other improvements
that sound so we'll in oratory and
look so we'll in print, and all of
which are usually advocated in
connection with a promise of re-
duced taxes, Mayor Gambler laid
down certain policies to which
the city government must be de
hnitely and permanently COM
mitted before it can expect to ad-
vance along any line.
Economy, for example. is of the
highest importance, and in this
connection Mayor Gambler de-
clared that unnecessary Jobs
should be cut off at once. All
departments should and must
work together tremendously, he
further declared, instead of re-
garding themselves as separate
organizations bearing no relation
to one another.
