THE KNoCKER.

+ used to be a chronic knocker; I
wore the cynic's gloomy frown; I was
a most persistent mocker Of all the
worthy schemes in town. If some
n cried. Lets pave the village, and
make u streets as slick as wax" I
said, That's but a form of pillage, a
scheme to raise the poor mans tax"
I blocked the plans of local boosters,
and found in blocking them much
bliss, and CROWDED like fifty-seven
ROSTERS, when schemes progressive
went amiss. I found myself so dog
gone lonely it broke my heart and
made me sad; I said, I'D give my
wad If only 1 had some friends in
this here grad" But no one visited
my palace, save when some, gents of
sterling worth came round and asked,
in seeming malice, what I would take
to jump to earth. This town can
reach no high condition." my callers
said, upon n day, until our skilled,
urbane mortician has come and cart
ed you away" l yearned for friends,
and to obtain them I ceased to knock
and learned to boost; it was the
proper way to gain them, and now
they flock around my roost. 1 put
away my little hammer. it hangs, all
dusty. on the wall; and when the vii
lage boosters clamor, my voice Is
loudest of them all.-Copyright by

STRAWBERRY ~sHoRTCAKE.

III STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE.
like to see the juices in a scarlet flood and sweet,
don't want m strawberry shortcake standing stiff and prim and neat
Cut precisely to q measure like a church's corner stone, id
Let the lei who want it that way claim my portion for their own
I don't like the market ehortcake that is sold for sordid pelf,
1 want the sweet and luscious kind the missus makes herself.
The hotel chef 10 fancy he may trim it up with cream 3sM
And may make 1t look enticing, but there's nothing to the scheme.
He may have 1t. gay with berries, but his art has gone to waste
Though his work may look like shortcake 1t has lost the real taste,
So I leave that pretty mixture on the hotel kitchen shelf
And wait the Juicy product that the missus makes herself.
/ want the strawberry shortcake that has caughtt the breath of spring,
1t may not be much to look, at, but I tell you, it's the thing M@s
Lat me have the cr,nson berries crushed and swimming in the dish
don't Sigh for tony pastry. but ! am Z greedy elf

ANDERSON STARTS
WAR ON WADSWORTH
Anti-Saloon League Ready to
Fight if Primary Law Is
Repealed.

William II. Anderson, State superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
started a campaign yesterday against
the denomination OF United States Sena-
tor James w. Wadsworth. Jr.
IF the primary law is repealed next
winter. as will be tried" he said ia a
formal statement last night, land Sena-
tor Wadsworth Is put over as a candi-
ate for reelection to the United States
Senate by the methods which are 80 we'll
Understood, the Anti-Saloon League
serves notice here and now that It will
dvise Its constituency within the Re-
publican party that not only will the
cause OF prohibition and morality and
decent government be better protected
)ut that ultimately even the better well
fare OF the party Itself, II that be their
main consideration. will be better served
by the election OF Democrat
The Republican party must decide
whether 1t wants Senator Wadsworth
more than II wants a chance to win.
Senator Wadsworth is done politically
unless some accident or political miracle
saves him"
Mr.. Anderson went on to say he had
been informed that an important con-
1rence was recently held at the home OF
Henry w. Taft. the object Of which was
TO grab control of the selection Of the
delegates from New York to the Repub-
Lean National Convention of 1920 in
;enator Wadsworth's behalf and use
Few York's influence to bring about the
domination for President of a man who
VIII be able to carry Senator Wadsworth
through"
According to Mr.. Anderson he had
been informed that Senator Wadsworth
attended this conference.
No such conference was held for any
such purpose" declared Mr.. Taft last
right. Mr. Anderson Is badly mixed
He possibly refers to a dinner gave
ecently in honor OF Charles d. Hilles
on his election to the presidency of the
Republican Club. Senator wadsworth
was not there. I believe he was in Texas

Forty-four bids were received from
thirty-fve individuals and corporations.
the largest single proposal being from
one large wrecking company which Of
fered to take all of the camps for a prizes
approximating $4,000. This proposal
was rejected largely because of the de-
sire of the department to turn over to
cities adjacent to the camps certain sani-
tary ana other utilities which could be
used advantageously for the benefit OF
their populations.
Thus Augusta, Ca, will retain title 70
