HALLOWEEN

Oh, boy, Halloween will soon be
here,
Let us whoop, and yell and cheer!
Get your soap and plenty Of corn,
Don't forget to blow your horn.
Don't get scared at the ghost in
white,
Nor run from the cats as black as
night,
Help the witches ride the broom
And sweep the cob-webs from the
moon.
Get pumpkin as yellow as gold,
Fill it with great big holes,
Put inside candle bright,
Carry it with you, Halloween night.
Be sure and hide your face and
shoes,
Any kind of clothes will do.
Halloween comes once year,
And when it comes it brings good
cheer.
What a parade! 1t doesn't seem
true!
Uncle Sam in stripes of blue,
Then comes Santa Claus and his
wife, Merry Christmas,
A dozen clowns that cut up so
ridiculous.
Ha, Ha. Charlie Chaplin, how he
goes!
With horsehair and glue stuck
under his nose,
Wobbly- legs and turned-in toes,
He acts like fool wherever he
goes.
Then comes the old maids in big
hoop skirts,
With false faces on, and say, don't
they flirt?
Satan comes next in his red attire,
He looks as if he'd just come out of
the fire.
Then comes the mean old Kaiser
Bill
Looking for some one to kill.
= A witch after the clown, how she
did run!
never in my life had so much fun!
When got home, to my surprise,
] removed my face and opened my
eyes,
Saw corn and soap and dozen
things more,
Such a mess of things at our front
door
Goodbye, scarey ghost and old
witch, too;
Remove your false face as I'm going
to do.
We had a good time, you will all
agree,
/ will seeyou again next Hallow
Eve.

Editorial Opinion
FORTY FEET OR FIGHT.

From the Baltimore American.
There ought TO be more uniformity
in the requests and petitions for the
deepening Of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal The government is
proceeding on the plan Of making IT
twelve feet deep, which. OF course,
will be only temporary, but which
will serve the purpose OF increasing
the lighter sort OF traf1lc. The ex-
tent TO which a twelve foot depth
would benefit Baltimore Is. 10 say
the least, problematical. The ulti-
mate purpose is a sea-level ship canal,
and there the differences occur. For
example, Governor Ritchie, In his
letter to the National Rivers and Har-
bOrs Conference, calls for such a
depth as will permit the passage Of
ocean-g0ing vessels drawing on an
average at least twenty feet" Mayor
Broenlng and the city representatives
ask for a canal thirty-fve feet deep.
The recent commissions say The canal
hould be deepened TO accommodate
the largest ships allOat which would
mean at least forty feet. In the cur

matter OF fact, we have II. Not many
