The Conference

The heavy nations soon will
send their delegations here, to
thrash out schemes by which to
end the present reign of fear:
As things are now we're all
afraid that war may hikus soon !;
we tremble when a dog has
bayed its grievance to the noon.
Rhode Island hears a rumor
fraught with .trouhl and dis
laay; New Jerseys built another
yacht, and suffers for a fray.
Rhode Island builds herself a
barge her bulwarks to defend,
and Jersey builds one just as
large, and so on, without end.
The voters raise despairing yips
while digging up long green;
the money goes, for foolish
ships that should buy gasoline.
well strike" New Jersey
proudly cries. until the foe ex-
rtres, and socks more taxes on
the guys who'd fain buy rubber
tires. Rhode Island says, "Onr
dauntless souls defy those war
like boobs," and taxes eat up all
the rolls that should buy inner
tubes. And thus it is, the world
around; we can't enjoy a nap;
for every time we hear a sound
we think it means a scrap.
Through all mems history there
runs the same old crazy theme ;
we're building ships and buying
guns, and peace is but a dream.
And when the wise men of the
world for peace are here con-
voked, may all the battle flags
be furled, and all the swords be
soaked. WALT MASON.
