DELIVER ME

Deliver me from the crab who i
forever crawling backward and from
the tree toad that is always yelling
about the approaching storm.
Lead me from the poor mutt who i:
constantly harping' about panics, prof
iteers and high prices.
Give me the willing worker who
sees things as they are and is trying
hard to improve them by his own Ser
vice.
All things are not right today, but
nothing will be right unless we indi-
vidually help to right them.
Divorce me from the dub that can
only see his wages and ship, if you
will, every son of a gun who is not
with the United States of America
ship them, God only knows where, but
ship them.
Here we are, all in America, sur
rounded by talking machines, hem
med in by oil paintings, carried by au-
tomobiles, jollied by jazz bands, cleo
trified by inventions, amused by NOV
ing pictures, exercised by golf clubs
and tennis courts, enthused by ball
games, transported by fast trains, en-
ployed by honest business men, given
great farms, rich mines, free libraries,
free schools, abundant books, maga-
zines, newspapers and the most boun-
tiful crops in the history Of this cOun-
try-here we are with silk as common
as cotton and everything everywhere
coming down.
Compare this condition with the
situation in the Old Coun-
try where counts in Vienna capitalize |
their evening suits and become table |
walters; where the arch-duchesses are |
lOing their own washing, where |
princes and princesses are but paup-
srs in matters of mOney-Where in |
he winter of 1920-21 there is no coal
because no trains are running, and no
rains because there is no coal.
Compare devastated France, wreck
d Belgium, torn Italy, tired England,
