He can't be handled with the gloves
He doesn EN- himself

This and this So he declares That don't know and o
the rest don't give whoop' he says
You know he of what he knows and what he doesn

AGENUINE JOB

A GENUINE JOB
LAVE you a job, genuine job
job that is worth your while?
Which brings you bread and a little ahead
And sends you home with a smile?
Then, if some when the weather's fine
And the suckers are biting on every line
And he wants you to sell stock in his mine
Whoa!
Go slow, my boy go slow!
It is true that gold has grateful glow
But why not consider the job you know?
(Per contra, I might write a couple of odes
To make you think you're Cecil Rhodes)
Have you job, geuine job,
job that you know clean through,
Which serves some need of the human breed
AS well job may do?
Then, if some one comes, rubbing hand hand
And says he admires your sense and sand
And he'd like to engage you to lead his band
Whoa
Go slow, my boy, go slow!
A shake and baton make some show,
But why not stick to the job you know?
Il could write poem, on the other hand,
To prove your job is to lead the band.)
Have you a JOB, genuine job
Into which you have built your years.
Till it's blood and bone your very own
Foundationed on hopes and fears?
Then, if some comes and procaims that Fate
Has arranged that guy of your size and weight
Is to handle the wheel of the Ship of State,
Whoa
Go slow, my boy go slow.
The Ship of State may survive the blow
If you stick to your little old craft and row
(However, of course, it would still be true
That Lincoln had such start you.)

BETHEL
Big Smokestack Blew Down on Power
Co. Wires.

All the leading industries were par
alyzed yesterday forenoon as result
of the high wind Wednesday night,
which blew over the large smokestack
of the Gaysyille Light & Power Co. at
its steam plant, so that it fell directly
across the lines of the company less
than half mile from its dam and
principal power house in the White
river The steam plant has not been
in use recently, owing to the power
company's utilization with the Hortonia
company, whose large developments On
the west side of the state are available
in case of shortage of power here ard
at Gaysville. The stack is believed TO
have been weakened by rust and per-
haps by previous high winds. BY dill
igent work with a good group of men,
B. G. Bundy, the local superintendent
of the power company, was able TO re-
store connections with the plant before
noon yesterday, enabling the granite,
leather and shoe industries to resume
work at | o'clock.
