not disappoint the crowd. His poem
was as follows:
| By J. I. Ainsworth)
I'm glad to be with you, good people,
| again,
| And I'm glad that so many are here:
It's good, don't you know, to extend
the glad hand,
And to meet one another each year.
Back there, you remember "heh we
We're all young,
How we PLAYED, talked and dined by
| the bye,
Sat up to the table, all appetites strung
And in mighty good tune for the PIE.
land so it is here. in a measure. say we.
There is naught but good things for
! us all.
And that, as we reason, is just the
| "idee"
That brings us together ION call l.
lTor one I am glad to be somewheres
h around,
With a perfect impotence to try,
A cupful of coffee eXquiSltely Drowned
And a wash" for each swallow o.
| pie. s.
WE'VE sports here, and swing for the
young folks, and all,
We have speakers from far ana from
! near;
And you who have listened and feasted'
play BALI
. And just be fright to hum" while
you're here.
Fill up for the year on the best in the
land
Then see If there's one little ''why'
You regret being down at the park,
here in town,
To partake of the program, and pie:
And now let me thank one and all here
today,
For each waiting along with the rest.
Just as we used to wait in prema'
ture state
At the feast for the sweetest and best.
I have done what 1 could while the do
ing was good,
To assist as the moments go by;
Now if therefore you feel that you've
had a square meal,
/ am glad that l passed you the pie.
, Oh yes, forgot, there is just bit
OF the lunch have served you to-
day;
Time is much as it was in the good days
So of course you may have your own
way. 80 -
was that way myself; there was more
on the shelf,
Then ia work into action and cry,
= land I'd holler and squall till good ma
: ture would fall,
: For another big section of pie.
Hon. N. e. Kendall OF Abba repub.
!, lican candidate for governor, the speak
er of the day, was introduced and gave
Ian excellent address and created con.
siderable impression. Mr.. Kendall paid
( fitting tribute to the old settlers and
: impressed upon the younger generation
l the hardships which they had gone
through in order that Crawford county
and Iowa might enjoy it's present pros.
Iperity He brought out the fact that
/ the old settlers in the early days
thought nothing of putting in sixteen
lor eighteen hours a day on the farm
and by frugality had been able to ac'
quire land which in time increased IN
: value until it made them wealthy. Mr..
!, Kendall brought out conditions as they
, are today in contrast to the way the
pioneers were forced to economiZe ana
1 told how our young men think nothing
) Of paying outlandish prices for clothing
! and ladies' were not content without
) the highest priced millinery. The
speaker expressed himself as not IN
favor with the schools Of today and no"
lall of the old textbooks had been dis
carded and new methods put into use
l which are not as effective as those OF
thirty and forty years ago. Mr.. Ken
dali is a pleasing talkcr and he held the
} large crowd in wrapt attention during
! his address, At the conclusion OF his
: address he shook hands with many peo-
. pie and enjoyed a social hour with the
old settlers.
