GEORGE WASHINGTON

GEORGE WASHINGTON
George Washington was an honest
man,
He never told a lie.
He said, BY gosh I'll tell the truth
If I even have to die"
He was the greatest statesman f;F
And was a fighter bold. hi
He always led his men to victory
In the fear of ice and cold.
The army crossed the Delaware
In spite of ice and cold,
And captured the Hessian soldiers
Then Cornwalls, he laid low.
Washington stood on the ice cold deck
Shooting Hessians by the peck.

THE CHERRY TREE

THE CHERRY TREE
Some cherry trees stood in a row
So fair and green,
That every traveller stopped awhile
To view the scene.
In spring the fairy blossoms white
In Autumn cherries large and bright,
The Master thought the lovliest sight
That he had ever seen.
His favorite tree in all the row
Was tall and slim,
He cared for it most tenderly
And kept it trim.
One day this favorite tree he found
With branches spread upon the ground
White blossoms also strewn around
Where it had been.
His son George ran down the lane
Hatchet in hand,
And near his father grave and stern
He took his stand.
Father I cannot 1ie," said he
ct chopped your favorite cherry tree"
His father said, Twas dear to me.
But truth more grand"

And while George frowned,
Down fell the cherry. tree to the

When his father asked him:

He replied,

Which George tried to ride,

CROSSING THE DELAWARE
George Washington had courage and
fame,
And we shall always honor his name,
When crossing the Delaware one cold
stormy night J.
They saw in the distance a ray Of
light;
This was the feasting place of the.
Hessians. ."'
Picking up courage and journeying on
They reached the feasting house at
break of dawn,
And found within an enormous crowd,
The noise they were making was very
loud
They were the action of the Hessians.
Washington and his men then barred
the door,
The feasting Of the Hessians con-
tinued no more;
The battle that followed was bloddy
and merciless,
The captured enemy marched away
helpless:
This was the last of the Hessians.

WASHINGTON
Washington was a general
A statesman kind and true
He was loyal to his people,
And advised them what to do.
Washington crossed the Delaware,
The Hessian soldiers to raid,

A victory he made.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
George had a little Ratchet
His Pa had a cherry tree,
George began to chop it,
His Pa took him across his knee.
George was a very good boy,
Who'd never tell lie
He wanted to go to heaven
If he should happen to die
One day he was playing
He thought of his mothers horse,
He'd always wanted to ride it,
Like other boys, of course.
One day as. he was feeling brave,
He walked over to the pasture
He jumped on the horse in moment
But fell off as were the laws of nature

which might have been invented by

FrCncescO RcStivO was an Italian
soldier. who in 1913 died a prisoner
in Austria, leaving mother and

widow and child. For over year
the parents and widow hoped
against hope that the authorities
were misinformed and that their be-

The young man was dined and
feted, but he remained only a day.
as he said that he must see Ange-

he left in the train he confded TO
a friend Of the family that he him
self was Francesca. The news
spread like wildhre. and even the
parents and relatives believed IT,
The young Bellassai-al

10 the police Of North Italy-had no
difficulty in convincing Angelina
that her husband was alive. He was
well supplied with personal details

JAPAN'S POCKETBOOK
is GUIDE TO POLICY
Nation Alarmed by Falling
Off of Its Export Trade
in Recent Years.
BY ALBERT APPLE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. - Japan's
policy in the Far East, particularly
in China, is based on a big and con-
slant leak in Japan's pocketbook.
This is the leak: Since 1913.
Japan's imports have been exceeding
her exports in terms Of money.
The result Of the situation is that
Japan is paying out more than she
is taking in. This is an alarming
situation, from the Japanese view
point. For Japan, having a small
territory and a congested and ra-
pidly growing population, should,
according 20 economic laws, be a
big exporting nation with the trade
balance in her favor or at least
breaking even.
What Japan needs most are raw
materials. These lie at her doorstep
I'm China, an Aladdin's cave Of un-
developed resources. China, for in
stance, has enough unmined coal TO
supply tn world 1000. 100000 tons
year for 1000 years.
Japan's Loss.
Latest figures on Japan's foreign
trade are for September, 1921. These
are the figures expressed in yen,
the Japanes unit Of money, worth
about 80 cents American at par:
Exports .... 95,487, 600 yen
Imports ..... 127,S7S,000 yen
Deficit ...... 32,391.0OO yen
In 1920, Japan imported about
100000 900 worth of goods more
than she exported.
American Trade.
Forty-fve per cent Of Japans total
exports in Septem Der, 1921, were to
the United States, which in turn
furnished 80 per cent of Japan's
total imports. Uncle sam is easily
Japan's best customer.
Chinese Trade.
Between 1904 and 1918, Chinese
imports increased 700 per cent from
Japan, Pa per cent from United
States and so per cent from England.
The Chinese boycott against Jap
anese goods went into effect May 1 .
1919. Within 60 days, Japan's trade
with China was cut in two.
In September, 1921, China took
only 10 per cent Of Japan's total ex-
ports and furnished only eight per
cent Of Japan's imports.
Here's how Japan and United
States compared in trade with China,
during September:
EXPORTS

/ L. S. to China .SS,S55, 600
IMPORTS.

These figures show that. although
Japan is at China's doorstep and has
a great geographical advantage
