Their Golden Wedding Day
(By Norval McGregor)
Those olden days, those golden days.
Those sweet remembered youthful
days;
When his heart beat for her so fair,
And she thought him the noblest there
When the bells rang out on that sweet
bay,
Their first, their glorious wedding day.
Then came the days of wood and tin.
Each anniversary seemed strange to
him;
That years should roll so quickly by
But, we know, the love light in her eye
Made time slip by each hour and day,
It'll their bright and Silver Wedding
Day
Those are the days they remember
most,
AS they journey toward the stately
post, "as>1
Where Father Time, with outstretched
hand,
Says:-Come, I'll give you lift, my
man;
Your work was hard, but you've done
it well,
AS many, and all that's here can tell.
You may sit and dream of youthful
day,
But those who have seen your hair
turn gray,
Honor the years that have come to
you,
And the Love and Faith you've kept
so true,
Since the olden day, the youthful day,
Till this, your Golden Wedding Day.

MESSAGE READY FOR LAWMAKERS;
 WIDE IN RANGE

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 29.- Officials of the White House are authority for the statement that President Wilson's message to Con gress has been completed and will be ready for transmission to the lawmakers when they convene in regular session on Monday. Owing to the illness of the President, he was unable to write the message himself on his private typewriter used on previous occasions, and it was with considerable effort that he dictated the lengthy document. A fortnight was required to pre- pare the message. The Presidents illness will also prevent him from delivering the message personally as has been his practice in the past.
 The message. it is believed, covers a wide range. and refers particu- larly to the industrial situation.
