CRUEL AND UNUSUAL.

The Bulgarian army is to be dis
banded by order of the League Of
Nations.
The German, when told to disarm,
Though he made quite a bit of a
row,
Went back to the mill and the farm,
And is working there placidly now.
Though his choice was to swash-
buckle over the map,
And stir up the various nations,
The German is rather a versatile
chap
Knowing plenty of peaceful voca-
tons.
When we say to the terrible Turk
That he'll have to quit lighting
and seek
Some quieter method Of work
Than shooting off guns at the
Greek.
He will MUNICH his pilaff in his hap
by hareem.
With calm and contented enjoy
ment,
No longer OF blOOdshed and con-
quest he'll dream
But get busy with useful enjoy
ment.
But take from the Bulgar the blade
And the rife he used on his foes.
And you rob the poor chap OF his
trade,
For fighting is all that he knows.
Bulgarian babes are born midst
alarms
OF cannon and musketry rattle,
As soon as they're weaned they're
provided with arms
And hurried away TO a battle.
Some peoples could live without war
And battle and murder and death.
But TO Bulgars the shedding Of gore
Is essential as drawing their
breath.
Deprive their brave men OF the only
career
They ever can follow and cherish.
Debar them from war, and inside Of
a year.
The unhappy nation will perish!

ed all their trade TO Sweden and Denmark.
At once there sprang into existence so many
smugglers that not all the resources at the com
mand OF the government are able to even stem the

Is 1T INFALLIBLE?

Because there has been no check
on it, We have come to accept the
, United States census data as absolute
correct. We all check by it, and
our estimates are usually too high.
! 1t is human to err. Every one. even
experts, make errors. Perhaps the
census does too. Let's see.
! The same complicated, double-fold-
ed, twO-sided blanks were used for
extremely different states: they were
for all farm subjects and were col
lected but once in ten years, and com
piled at foreign place by girls who
were strangers to the subjects In
contrast, North Carolina secured a
census prepared peculiarly for this
one state, limited to the basic crop
acreages, collected annually by re-
sponsible and experienced listers;
compiled in the state under the close
supervision of those who are familiar
with the crops in the different coun-
ties. Which is more likely to be cor
rect?
or course we have found many er-
rors and the shortcomings of our ex-
perlenced listers, who perhaps
thought we were easy chair, city
dudes. They forget that we have to be
