SOME HONEST ADVICE TO THE
GOVERNOR.

If | were Governor Russell I'd 20
and buy a bussel
And pad 1t with stove lids and rocks
For on occasions fitting 'twould keep
/ my pants from splitting,
And fend off
many hard knocks.
I'd keep my face at home and teach
it not to roam,
In places where angels never meet.
I'd get divorced from Bilbo and weed
my w row,
Or else keep quietly
! in my seat.
I'd sure beware the Greek who only
came to seek,
To place me in q deeper darker
hole,
Among the lost to stray I'd make
then fade away,
Or else I'd break a hole,
through his soul.
20, tell it not in Gath" I'd go and
get a bath,
And rid myself of all the scent,
That Bilbo may have left when Of
him I'm bereft,
of the skunky odor,
He had lent.
In God I'd make him trust. or rid
his head of dust,
Which in the human we call brain.
He'd act q little purer or Craze in
pastures newer,
Or else I'd make him
Feel a pain.
AS for j. X. v. whose tongue is long
and free,
| Who seems to hate his party and
his state,
I'd make a firm believer. or get him
a receiver,
Or send him down to Hades
AS a life d-e-l-e-g-a-t-e-.
I'd give Pat H. the road when coming
with a load,
He's got the right of way down
the pike
His big old Irish fist, will give your
nose q twist,
While the voters all yell
STRIKE. !.
M. A. McKinnon.
Coldwater, Miss.
June II, 1921.
Note by Editor:-It might be in
.teresting for. our friend to learn that
what Is regarded as authentic infor-
nation has it that Bilbo no longer
regards Russell as his friend. There
are lots of things that can be truth
fully stated about the ''little piney
woods devil" that would put the
average man to shame, yet he is a
ikable "cuss" and to his credit it
may be said that he was loyal to his
and the Democratic
leaders during the war. Equally
information tells the story
Of Pat Henry's break with Russell
and it is also said the Jim Cassidy
and the Governor no longer travel
the same path. So mote it be.

the heifers up and they arrived at 8
stack on the Fried farm and here the
boys lost all trace of them. The
heifers suddenly disappeared. The
boys haven't the slightest idea what
became of them-but the heifers are
quietly feeding in Mr.. Fried's pasture.
Joe says that cattle are so cheap he
doesn't know whether it will paw to
put in too much time with the bo-
vines. The boys have not given out
the date for the next free exhibition.

DRYasG UP THE ZUYDER ZEE.
RV Rene Bache

W1rat may fairly be called the most
picturesque engineering enterprise in
history is now being undertaken for
the draining of the Zuyder Zee, in
Holland, most of which will thereby
be converted into dry land available
for agriculture and other profitable
uses
Away back at the beginning of the
Christian era there was no Zuyder Zee
There was large lake called FlevO,
which was separated from the German
ocean Tor North sea- by wide belt of
low-lying territory. But the tempestu
Gus waters of the German ocean swept
away the Intervening lowlands, unit
ing with the lake, and forming a vast
body of shallow water which has ever
since remained.
Zuyder Zee Shallow.
Most of the Zuyder Zee is not over
13 feet deep. The present project is
simply that of constructing a dixie
thirty miles long, from Wieringen to
the Tristan coast, for a barrier against
the German ocean This barrier will
keep the sea out, and the rest of the
business is merely matter of pump
ing the water out of the area thus in
closed
The dixie will be 16 feet above sea
level, built of broken rock and CON
crete, and reinforced with "mattres-
ses" composed of bundles of tree
branches wired together. Running
along the top of it will be double
track railroad. The construction of
the dixie will take nine years, it is
and will cost over $4,000
900.
TO Reclaim Large Area.
The entire work will cost $125 ,000,-
900. 1t will reclaim S27 square miles
of land, and will occupy about thirty
five years. AS soon as the dixie is fin
ished pumping will begin. There will
remain a lake covering 900 square
miles, to serve as reservoir during
periods when, owing to northwestern
storms, the waters of the river Yssel
and of the canals cannot be emptied
into the Geramn ocean. The area will
constitute a twelfth province.

Thoughts Of Today
Darn All FOREIGN Wealth

What are to be our relations with
South America in the near future?
Do our citizens realize the tremendous
wealth of those countries in natural
resources? / am absolutely certain
they do NOT. If a prospector came
to New York with tales of fabulous
deposits of gold in, say, Labrador,
there would be a rush of American
citizens there in countless thousands,
and we would welcome it's importation
into this country free of taxation
And yet gold only represents the pos
sibility of procuring the necessities of
life We can get those necessities in
overwhelming abundance from South
America, and yet we stand aghast at
the prospect and cry out aginst the
pauper labor products of the foreign
er. So much are we blinded by GUS
tom and prejudice.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1921-04-16
Beatific Ignorance

Now we are to have a new tax called
the "sales tax" 1t is perfectly de-
lightful invention. "TaX extracted
without PAIN is the basic idea. You
know that the unpopularity of the in
come tax is due to the fact that single
people earning just over $1,000 have
to pay $50 in four payments of So each
in one year. If the income tax could
be arranged so that they had to pay
500 per year without their knowing
it no one would raise the slightest
objection. Hence the beauty of the
sales tax. 1t is like mosquito bit
ing you while you are asleep. You
don't mind it, even if you get yellow
fever as a result. Therefore let us
have indirect taxes forever. God bless
the man that invented sleep, said the
old philosopher, and God bless the
man that invented indirect taxation,
say we, who profit thereby.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1921-04-16
Fake Loyalty

The Sim Fein movement is another
illustration of fake loyalty. President
de Valera was asked whether he did
not consider the basic trouble in Ire
land to be economic rather than po-
litical but he made no reply. Natural
ly, for if he allowed that impre ssion
to go forth he would be compelled to
instill in the Irish peoples minds that
they must secure for the benefit of
all citizens the rentals of the land
and the abolition of all taxes upon
industry. There need then be no sep
aration from England as political
entity for the division would come
about naturally. There would be such
a change in social conditions that Ire
land would become the marvel of
Europe The Irish would be taking up
collections in Ireland for starving
children in the United States.
