TIE SLOGAN,

Now Il tho time for an good mea
To come to the aid OF the parry
I write It down again and again
That sentiment hale and hearty
It's q grand old phrase to practice on
When testing your skill at typinE.
And It meant q lot in the dayS agone
When political times were piping.
Now is the time for all good men
To come to the aid OF the party;
1t once went great in the seasons
when
The partisan trend was hearty;
But now, in the days when We fight
the Hun
Because Of his hate besotteu,
That sort OF a phrase is through and
done,
It's potency is forgotten.
Now is the time for all good men"
We need q new line to finish
For strong as the hold OF the old has
been
Its power and strength diminish;
So we cheerfully tap on the keys
again
And write, IN our exaltation,
Now is the time for all good men
To come to the aid OF the Ma.
