nUST BIZ Up AND Doing.


America must be up and doing,
Set the standard OF the world,
Higher things We must be viewing.
Our sacred banner still unfurled.
Greater then the olden story.
Higher still than old world past,
Sacred as the nations glory,
Our pledged word must be fact
II
America must be up and doing.
Building heart and soul and mind,
We must cease from misconstruinE,
II We help our fellowkind!
We must build As did the sases, a.,
II We reach the golden goal. III
To Withstand the wreck OF ages,
We must build In heart and soul1
America must be up and doing.
If We reach the golden goal.
Higher records still pursuing,
Higher standards of the soul!
Never sleeping. never turning.
We must hold to duty fast,
Patriot lights of honor burning.
We shall reach the goal at last!

Mr. Hindenburg is going to run for the pres

| Ell modern literary work." says T. L. NJ,
'the greatest thing is to do something SO en-
hrely different from what folks expect you to
do that they will thereafter consider you a
critic. Once this reputation is well eetab-

! We suppose, then. that Bernard Shaw AND
H. G. Wells are ordinary examples of the above
law of literature. The former, we believe, once

him and prove his case he would be compelled
to read both Shaw and Shakespeare. which
would take more time than any one has these
T. DAYS. Therefore again to quote T. L. M, Mr..
! Shaw's reputation was firmly established
Bishops trembled before him, and no trembling
! is of greater aid to critics than the trembling
of bishops "No one has questioned Mr.. Shaw's
right to take a fall out of dead man." How
could they, we'd like to know, seeing as Mr.

Boredom: This word Is said to have been
derived from Bore, son of Noah. After the

Superstition: Science slightly scrambled
