More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THE ONLY PLACE TO AVOID 'EM When Messrs. Carpenter and Dempsey
 mingle
 I'd like to have a seat beside the ring, And feel my heart leap up and pulses
 jingle At every wallop, punch and jab and
 swing. But I'll not see these fisticuff debators Decide the championship with belt and
 smash, Because I fear the ticket spectators Will sell the seats to people with more
 cash. I'd like to see the fine dramatic action, And listen to the pleasing flow of wit That makes certain Out unnamed) att
 traction
 Now on the boards. a most terrific hit. But I must go to second rate theATers, Because I've found. for this especial
 show. The enterprising ticket spectators Are selling seats at fifty bucks a throw. Year after year, when baseball seasons I've hoped. but hoped in vain, to realize My dream to see the players who con-
 tended
 Tn competition for the final prize. But I have never seen these gladiators, And not game I ever hope to sec, Because the crafty ticket spectators onli sell the seats to richer men than
 me. still have one remaining hope. however At some q hope far distanD future
 date,
 When my relations with this world
 sever,
 I mean to enter through the pearly
 gate. I hope to meet St. Peter at the wicket And on my application for a chair, think I'm fairly sure to get my ticket Because the speculators won't be there.

Mr.. Squirrel said he also ran past
Mr.. Bears that very night on his way
to the party and he was sure MIR. Bear
was sound asleep from the noise he
was making.
Mr.. Rabbit said he, too, was sure
there was no use waiting any longer
for Mr.. Bear, for he had noticed that
all Of the windows were closed in Mr..
Bears house as he passed.
Mr.. Fox coughed to hide a smile
which he could not hold back and said !:
TOO bad, too bad and had planned
so on giving him a nice treat. Well,
we may AS well begin. then, for | am
afraid he has fallen asleep and won't
come"
Mr.. Fox had big armchair which
he said was 10 have been for Mr.. Bear,
bur as ne was not there TO use IL, be-
ing the next animal in size, he guessed
he better sit in it himself.
Ii was the plan he had all the time,
for Mr.. Fox was very fond of comfort
and planned 10 eat great deal that
night, as he had prepared things he
especially liked for the party.
But he had hardly seated himself
when the door opened and In came Mr.
Bear, all out of breath from running.
He was smiling and in his paw he
held the invitation that Mr.. Fox had
put under his door. IL almost missed
it, he said, when he got his breath
but / woke up and the moonlight
shone on the floor just where the In
vitation was and jumped right up.
"Of course, | knew what 1t was, fol
was trying my best not TO go to sleeI
for good until you gave this party, Mr.
Fox. | knew you would be real dis
appointed If | did"
Mr.. Fox. OF course, said that wal
true and had to give up his chair Il
the late guest.
Mr.. Bear did not waste time Of
words. He began to eat as soon al
he was seated, beginning with thu
honey, which he finished in short or
der.
There was not enough left for eveI
soup. just as Mr.. Fox had thought, ant
as he lighted the guests out that nigh
he looked up at the moon and shOol
his paw. You are the meddling oil
fellow" he said, that spoiled m

just as If he knew 1t and enjoyed tn

THE LATE GUEST.

TT WAS nearly the end of the season |;
L in fact, 1t was for some Of the WOOD
folk, and as yet Mr.. Fox had not given
his yearly dinner party.
All the others had and were now
waiting for an invitation from Mr.. Fox
before the ground was covered with
snow and food scarce.
But wise Mr.. Fox was waiting with
a purpose in view, and 1t was that Mr..
Bear should begin his winter nap be-
fore he gave his winter party HE
always eats so much." said Mr.. Fox,
when thinking 1t over, that a body
never has enough left even to make
a soup, let alone a picked-up dinner
And so while the wood folks waited
for the invitations to be out Mr. Fox
waited for Mr.. Bear to go to sleep
and every day he walked past Mr.
Bears house TO listen for his loud
deep breathing.
OF course, Mr.. Fox intended TO leave

LESS GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
 AND MORE INDIVIDUAL , FREEDOM,
 KEY NOTE OF FLAG DAY SPEECH

Asserting that the basic American idea is that government is insti- tuted solely for the protection of citizens in their right to work out their own individual destinies, un- hampered by restrictive regulations, J. A. Hellenthal, who delivered the oration at the Elks' Flag Day exer- cises yesterday afternoon, made an impassioned plea for less govern mental regulation and more indi- vidual freedom. He urged Elks and all good Americans to exercise un- ceasiing vigilance in seeing that the nation kept this idea constantly in view. t
 MT. Hellenthal said the country was suffering more from the opera tions of the bureaus and commis- sions at Washington than from the propaganda of the Bolshevists.
 Destroying Government.
 There are two forces now at work trying to destroy the fabric of our government" said the speaker. "One is working at the roof and the other is boring at the foundation" He declared that the roof workers, comprising those who believe in the government regulating everybody and everything. are more dangerous to the country's welfare than the Bolsheviki, who he said are trying to topple over the entire existing order.
