MAYOR OF CHICAGO
ISSUES BOOST POEM
1t Makes No Difference Whether It's
Chicago, Podunk or Glasgow,
Principle is the Same.

Mayor Thompson is circulating an
another booster poem which he calls
"Stand by Your Town" At Christ
mas time the mayor and department
heads sent out autographed copies OF
a poem called "Boost" as Christmas
cards.
"Now l find that the poem has been
adopted by Albuquerque, N. NJ, Pitts
burgh, Kansas, and Lewiston, Idaho.
and is being used to boost these Cities
the mayor said. "In one city a butch
Ell has adopted the poem to boost his
meats"
The new "boost" poem follows:
Stand by Your Town.
If you think your towns the best,
Tell 'em so!
If you'd have her lead the rest,
Help her grow.
When there's anything to do
Let the other fellow count on you;
You'll feel bully when it's through,
Don't you know?
If you want to make a hit,
Get a name.
If the other fellows it,
Who's to blame?
Spend your money in your town.,
Thusly keep your prices down;
Give the fly-by-nights a frown,
That's the game!
If you're used to giving knocks,
Change your style;
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For awhile.
Let the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would a ghost;
Meet his hammer with a boast
And a smile.
When a stranger from afar
Comes along,
Tell him who and what you are
Make it strong;
Needn't flatter, eve bluff,
Tell the truth, for that's enough;
Join the boosters-that's the stuff
We belong.

LEAP YEAR MUSINGS.

The Leap Year is leaping
And constantly keeping
Us waking or sleeping,
Amazed and perplexed.
"Twixt raucous arousers
And new cause espousers,
And girls wearing trousers
What won't they do next!
Peace problems are pending,
And profiteers vending
Their prices ascending,
Will drive US insane!
With tricks of discerning
The occult are learning
How spooks are returning
From some other plane.
The ladies are nervy,
The starlight is curry,
The worlds topsy-turvy
But fiddle de-dee!
Soon be music and drumming,
And campaign bees humming
The tune of the coming
Of good times to be!

Why Colds Are Dangerous

You are often told to "beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer a cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as a cold prepares the
system for the reception and develop
ment of the germs of consumption,
d~iphtheria, scarlet fever and whoop-
ing cough. The quicker you get rid
of your cold, the less the danger of
contracting one of these diseases.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
great reputation as a cure for colds
and can be depended upon. It is pleas.
ant to take.

Pruning Fruit Trees has Many
Advantages

''The peach trees will soon be in full
bloom and if the orchard has not yet
been pruned, now is good time to
prune the trees for fruitfulness and re-
move the dead branches" says B.
Szymoniak, associate horticultural.
Extension Division, Louisiana State
University. There is tendency Of
fruit trees in our climate and soil to
overbear, causing the branches to
break down, injuring and devitalizirp
the trees generally so that their life is
greatly shortened. Prune out all in
terfering branches. select the best and
healthlest and cut out the weakest,
especially those branches in the center
of the tree. This will admit sunlight
and air among the branches and fruit
will ripen and develop more satisfac-
toriliy. Cut back all twigs to half the
length of the growth of the previous
season end cut out all twigs that have
no bloom. BE sure and cut the branches
back so as not to leave stubs. Use the
proper pruning tools and paint the
wounds that are more than an inch in
diameter
