THE TWINE SHIPPING CREW

THE TWINE SHIPPING CREW
The poets have been talking of all kinds
of people,
And I've oftentimes wondered Just what
they would do
If someone should point out to them the
big ripple
That is always made by the twine ship
ping crew.
Just give them the ORDERS and they are off
in twinkle
With trucks or hooks, alert and awake.
You don't have to show them, they know
every wrinkle,
And don't give rap for the chances they
take.
Just point out the job to be done and
they'll do it.
A job that takes courage, deftness and grit.
They'll laugh at the hardships and stick
till they're through it,
Or die on the job, for they never say quit.
You'll find them out there in all kinds of
weather
In winter, or when it is hotter than sin;
Always on the 60, even though the clouds
are rampagng,
Good natured and cheerful, but drenched
to the skin.
Their job is to load that twine and they'll
load it,
Every man in his place, so nothing is
skipped;
The rain it can pelt 'em, the sun can half
melt 'em,
But just the same Bo, that twine will be
shipped.
So take a good squint at the gang and
appraise 'em,
Reflect on the things they've done and can
do,
You'll find them dead game, and that
nothing can faze 'em,
And you'll take off your hat to the twine
shipping crew.

SILENT PHILOSOPHY

Profit is capital, plus labor, multiplied
by management. You can hire the first two.
Some men know so little about finance
they have an idea that liquid assets are
kept in the cellar.
Seriously, "do you really want to be
better MANI"
To be able to tell man hosU, isn't
enough; you must be able to show him
hozv, if necessary.
Some folks kid themselves into thinking
r they have courage when really the trouble
with them is they lack common sense.
The man vino believes his mission in
life is to shoot off his mouth is sadly mis-
taken. But believe me! you'll have some
job to make him see his mistakes.
"Man in trouble because he kissed girl
on public highway" says the headline.
That's not the place to kiss girl-he
should have known better.
A wise man keeps his head even when
he's getting the worst of it.
The first time you strike rock in the
road it may be an accident. The second
time it's your own fault
Can you beat it! Dallas man dies of
heart failure at bathing beach at Calves
ton July 4th. With a weak heart he
should have known better than to have
gone to the beach on a hot day.
Some folks are just naturally contrary.
In commenting on an after dinner
speech the reporter stated: ut was as
short as possible and still covered the sub
ject." A good deal like the fapper's skirts.
1t takes good men to make good paper
says the Press Herald of Portland, Maine.
Maybe that's what ails ours.
Every thoughtful man realizes that per-
manent success is attained through giving
service.
Some men really work, others just stick
around until Saturday to get their pay
check. What are you doing?
Any time is good time for good
deed.
Recently some of the Bulls and Bears of
Wall street have turned out to be goats.
Most men have some ties in life-but
many of them don't hold.
The trouble with American youths of
today is that they want to begin at the top
instead of at the bottom.
