The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-04-14

Hill-Tout's discovery that the s.. c. human race
is OF polygenetic rather than monogenetic or
igin. We had intended looking UP our family
tree but We shall give up that idea now. Iden-
tihcation Of some of our polygenetic ancestors
would probably be humiliating.
The Crime Wave In Cameron.
cameron Corr. Monmouth Nll.) Review
Some one fearing neither God nor man
stole collar from Ira Curtis and an oil
can and some fixtures from John Riggles'
tractor Saturday night.
SONGS AMID THE ASHES-m.
LITTLE DESERTS.
Tho forehead and the shin-bones afs barren
Crazy bones scrunch with every knock:
Knee-caps pout in lofty solitude.

We remember a cabbage
We bought At grocery
For fifty cents.
For fifty cents we bought cabbage:
Three days at dinner We ate cabbage;
With groans and gulping ate some cabbage
DCsTACY.
The heel OF time

Many fat, Juicy June-bug.
These songs are cubist or futurist OF tmasist
or something. OF course, they don't mean any
thing. They wouldn't be whatever they are
il they did. A CAPRICClO.
IT USED to know" postscrips Capriccio. "a
real little girl by the name Of Cyclona Chloe.
II Mr.. Tomb Sumner will make truly poem
about her will promise not to send any more
like the above. Her mother said that Cyclona
came to earth in q windstorm, but whether On
the high-seas or the Kansas prairies, don't
remember"
POSSIBLY Caprech' meant to say the high
C's. 1t doesn't seem likely Cyclona came to
earth ON the high seas. We feel the urge to
immortalize Cyclona in rime-but not today
Tomorrow, perhaps. A willamette would be a
neat vehicle in which she might ride to fame
Still, ne have a collection Of ballads, SO mebbe
vsd best write THE Ballad Of Cyclona Chloe"
tomorrow.

the inspirations of juvenile poets! That may
become necessary after the following lines
written by lady about IL years Of age hav<
bsen noted BY others We print them without
alteration
SOMEONE I'VE KNOWN.
Ger her grave leaves have blown
And the Ars dropped their cones,
And she died where the yellow waves foam
And I'm lonesome. so lonesome
Fur this sweet someone I've known
And - onward I pace
l think Of the race
Between life. between DEATH between home
For she rscsd 1t, this someone I've known
This dear someone, sweet someone I've known
RUTH SAFER.
WHAT is poetry. anyway: One writer say,
that after reading various supposedly enlight
Iening paragraphs On what constitutes poetr,
he falls back on the printer and if every lin,
begins with . capital letter" he assumes It b
BE- poetry. Perhaps that Is the average judg
Iment. Ruth's lines are I've think poetic
no matter what the faults in construction.
