CrabbscraWIings

I remember, remember, twas not
so long ago,
When girlies combed their hair
straight back,
So that their ears would show.
They wore their dresses to the
ground.
In armor plate they clad.
You think I'm sorry they changed
it all?
Not on your life! I'm glad!
As Nero. might have said it:
FRIENDS, whatll we have? Romans
or Countrymen?"
Some kind soul recently wrote
to the Journal and asked what had
become of r. b. Crabb. What we
are interested to know is what is
ITO become of him.
: Mr.. Harding is in the south
picking out his cabinet. and Mrs.
Harding bought her wardrobe in
New York. Can it be that Grand
Rapids is losing its grip.
A Flapper of our village gave as
her reason for refusing to become
an old mans darling, that he had
too much health and too little
money.

those who ask how to spell word,
and then after they have been told
say they have written it that way
but somehow or other it doesn't
look right
