More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
AN EXCEPTION.

MORE TRUTH Than 1OL@1 II
AN EXCEPTION.
1t was the teacher in the school
Who said, ITO lie is wrong.
And little boys who break this rule
Will never get along.
The fibber dies in rags and shame
A hard and cruel fate
While those who earn both wealth
and fame
Do not prevaricate.
1t was the little cfddy boy
A simple guileless youth
Who vowed thereafter to employ
The plain unvarnished truth.
IF very earnestly" said he,
THE teachers words l heed,
I rather thing that 1 shall be
Quite certain to succeed"
So when next day a portly .gink,
Whose caddy bag he bore
Said. Look here. caddy, don't you
think
made that hole in four?"
The caddy viewed him, scornful
eyed,
And. thinking Of the fate
That liars always meet. replied,
"G'wan! Yuh made an eight.
II was the little caddy boy
Who spoke the truth so well
That soon he managed to destroy
A paying clientele.
And thus the little Suileless youth
Found out to his surprise.
That while some lads do well with
truth,
A caddy thrives on lies.

PERKINS for MAYOR

Prepare for the pri-
mary. Study your candi-
dates and qualify your
self to vote right. Your
government says you
have the right to vote. 1t
is up to you to say
whether you have the
ability to vote or the am
bition to vote. The gov
eminent has done all it
can for you and on cleo
ton day it is your turn to
do all you can for your
government. The least
you can dc is TO vote; the
most when your ballot is
the result of mature DELHI
Grafton and study. Peo-
who do not vote are not
in on our government.
They are letting others do
their work for them. They
have no voice in affairs
and have no right to OBJ
jet to the kind Of gov
eminent they get. A per-
son who does not vote
has no more right to find
fault with his government
than the man who jumps
his board bill has to kick
on his board.

SONGS
BY ALFRED ARNOLD.

BY ALFRED ARNOLD.
There is a song for happiness,
With movement soft and sweet:
There is a chant for might and power
OF strong and sturdy beat;
There is a hymn for hope, that
sounds
All plaintive in the ears;
There is a song for loneliness,
And a saddest one for tears.
Yes. life would tell its thoughts in
song
And speak in melody;
For singing words alone reveal
The hearts intensity.
The stumbling sounds are awkward.
cold,
And hollow as they fall.
Until they find that perfect strain,
And music's voices call.
There is a song for sOrrowing;
There is song for pain;
A song for sadness and for care;
\ tender. easing strain:
There is a song for faith and joy
Then let the lips repeat
The melody, the harmony
That doubles all their sweet.
