Salem that the famous company NJ was

of the Cherry City, wake up from your
slumber snd remember that there are a
few of us left who weathered the storm

glad to get hold of Journal now and

Then we saw little German fraulein

Katie did,
And we winked at her and bowed.
So we did.
But an NJ. ?. passing by, caught the

Yes, he did
And he took us to the Provost--then

Sure he did.
We could sleep in German beds,
