Gravy

Lead us to the man who doesn't
like gravy-some kind of gravy
and we'll show you an unnatural man
And show us the girl who hasn't
learned to make gravy-all kinds Of
gravy-and We'll show you girl
whose education has been neglected
Recipes have been written, songs
have been composed and poems have
been dashed off on the subject, but
like the proof of thet pudding the
greatest glory of gravy is in the
eating. Believing you will agree
ton the following, hanced in by q
subscriber:
When ma makes the gravy, u:
boys have spell
And Tommy's so tickled he Il
out a yell;
And big brother Bill comes ak
n down stairs
When ma hollers Somebody
up the chairs!
She stirs in some flour with
grease piping hot,
And then pours the milk in
whole. dandy lot;
And sister Belira starts tax
things up
The meat and p'tatoes-and ste
on the pup
Cause he's hungry, too. and
gravy smeels finel
(Slopped over a biscuits the
ike mine.)
And ma says: "My goodness,
simply beats all,
You youngsters all act like
starved you since fall"
Then pa puts his paper away
the shelf,
And tells her: snake plenty,
holler myself"

RECOGNITION OF Goethe.

It is great mistake to suppose
that Goethe, whose star had already
risen, was at once generally recog-
nized. His "Gotz Won Berlichingen'
and his "Werther" had been enthus-
iastically received, but no more SO
than works of commonplace bunglers'
and Goethe was assigned very small
niche In the temple of literature

STATE PROVES TO BE
BIGGEST SPENDTHRIFT

According to figures which have
just been made public by the Mich
igan Manufacturers Association, the
State of Michigan is spending a
great deal more each year than it
takes in and in spite of the econom-
ical administration which Gov.
Groesbeck promised us, the disbur-
sements in 1921 exceeded the treas
ury receipts by something like four
million dollars.
In the five year period commenc-

disbursements figures were as fol-

The Watchman-Examiner On
IAN Evil Tongue"

The great national weekly OF New
York has the following very peril
nent article in its July q issue:
"Diogenes was asked what beast
had the most dangerous biteY He
answered: OF wild beasts that OF
the slanderer; of tame ones that OF
the lattcrer.' In the third chapter
Of Genesis we have the first record
ed and authentic account OF a SLAM
derer. Silently. noise.essly, he creeps
along until he Kisses temptation
into the ear Of Eve while slanderlng
Almighty God. Today the trail OF
the slanderer is all over the world.
The greatest curse that ever befell
community was to have in it tale
bearor and scandal monger. They
are blot upon civilization and a
running sore in the social life OF a
nation. AS Henry Ward Beecher
said: The talebearer kindles a fire
that burns to the lowest hell The
sly hint, the inueEdo. the question
of inquiry which conveys hint ct
evil-how infamous all these may
bel Ihis hard to trace a slanderer;
it is hard to evaporate the truth by
the slow process of the crucible and
leave the residium of falsehood Wis
IDLE and giittering. Often one can
not fasten upon any word or SEN
lence and say that is calumny,
God forgive the wretch who, under
the guise OF secrecy, goes from man
to man with his story, his half
truth, his innuendo, leaving in its
wake yemen to inilame hearts and
to poison human society, at its
fountains springs. Despise the SLAM
derer, refuse him audience, tell him
candidly what you think Of him,
and be sure not TO follow in his
footsteps"
