More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE BULGAR AND THE PROFIT
FER.

THE BULGAR AND THE PROFIT
EER.
Although the brutal Bulgar
Is neither good nor kind,
Although hes somewhat vulgar.
And rather unrefined.
Though lacking in compassion,
And low above the ears.
We quite applaud his fashion
OF swating profiteers.
When gouged for lard or butter.
When gyped for cod or shad,
The Bulgar doesn't mutter.
Now isn't that too bad?"
With vengeance rough and hearty
Applied with brutal force,
He grabs the guilty party.
And justice takes its course.
The person who advances
The price of bread or beef.
To suit his grasping fancies,
Is held to be a thief.
With heavy chains they tie him
In some convenient place.
Where people passing by him
Can punch him in the face.
This punishment suffices
(And food quotations show
To keep prevailing prices
AstOnishingly low.
I look upon the Bulgar
With awe and reverence.
Although his ways are vulgar.
He's got good common sense.

CALL FOR A NATIONAL CRY
Great Need In This Country, 'Tis Said,
for an Explosive, Expres-
sive Yell

American audiences are charged
with being unrespOnslve and apathet-
ic. particularly in patriotic outdoor
demonstrations. Americans are not
incapable Of making loud. loyal noises.
and not averss thereto. But rarely is
parade staged In This city that does
not move throughout a large part of
its course between silent lines of spec
tators. The result is sometimes so
depressing as largely to neutralize the
desired effect Of the parade.
The will to cheer doubtless arises
all along the lire. hut there is no short
and easily exploded yell known TO us.
"Hurrah." Is the traditional American
word for cheer. but no man will ven
ture its use in public, unless In the
wake of a cheer leader who prefaces
1t with hip, hip, hip" Even then
the usual response testifies that this
method Of cheering is getting rusty.
There is no lack OF cheering on an
American football field. nor at any
kind OF demonstration on college
campus. The reason for this Is that
good, expressive. explosive yells have
been devised for outdoor use And
because they do explode, and because
they stand for something, the Amerl-
cen public likes to use them. They
also like to follow good yell leader.
America needs a national yell The
man who can coin one will do the
country a great service.-Minneapol

HELD FAST TO THOSE FISH
Indianapolis Man Was Taking No
Chances Of Losing the Prizes
He Had Secured.

Tom Genolln, Of the railway mall
service. tells thrilling story of how
once upon time he was tempted and
fell how In the early hours Of morn
ing he slipped away to a posted"
stream and drew from thence five of
the most beautiful bass ever seen,
The climax of his story reads thus:
"Ihe glorious day was peeping and
creeping through the silent trees
when ] gathered up my bunch of
beauties and started homeward. I
had not gose far when laid them In
a clump of grass while / filed my
pipe. When started to pick them
up again 10 and behold they were
gone. A slight stir under a nearby
bush brought visions of some PROV
ling thief and threw myself prone
upon the bush and clutched for the
place where the fish might be. That
Is when / awoke and gathered myself
up from the bedroom floor where /
lay clutching jangling alarm clock"
Mr.. Genolin thus ends the story:
"The tragic and unbelievable part
of my story Is yet to be told. The
day after the incident related | went
TO the pool concerning which had
dreamed and there fished precisely
Is tished in my dream and caught
five beautiful bass precisely as had
caught them in my dream and, lastly.
returned home with them. but not
once did | lay them down in a clump
of grass."--fndianapolIs News.
