MAN AND HIS T0GS

We are again reminded that mans
spring suit for this season will be
neat and not gaudy. This promise
has familiar ring. Lines Of sim
plicity will prevail There will be no
extremes, no bizarre effects-unless
it may be on certain raiment design
ed for the jeunesse doree. The recent
gathering of the tailors of America
was more concerned with the col
lection of the bill for last springs
suit than in planning this one. The
designers did manage to say, how
ever, that the clothes for mems wear
would be sensible and conservative.
They have said that before and then
gone ahead and done their worst One
never can tell. Naturally the conven-
ton talked about hip pockets. There
is feeling that not more than one is
needed. The old pint pockets are
gone forever Nevertheless a man
turned up at party in an eastern
city lately wearing vest that must
have been much like a cartridge belt.
1t was stitched all round with SER
les of receptacles, each of which
would accommodate half-pint flask.
This must have been an emergency
ration, however The tailors assure
US that the style could never become
popular or desirable. The time has
passed when a man will raise roar
if his tailor fails to construct his hip
pockets according to desired specifi-
cations. 1t doesn't matter much if
they are left out altogether. The
point is that the spring suit is going
to be quiet and orderly They even
want to take the jazz out of fellows

I AM TROUBLE

| am king of the World of Woe,
And | am the most despised of the
hated
Man shuns me as he would the devil
And tries to ward me off.
But foolish Man knows not what 9
friend he has in me.
The strong Man stands by me anc
works me out,
But the weak one tries to run away
and, knowing his weakness,
| make myself his master.
To Man | am the harbinger of all
that is hopeless,
Yet without me he would sink to the
lowest level.
He does not reason that | give him
strength,
/ give him hope, l give him Victory
When he lays me low glow of glad
ness
Comes to him like no other joy,
For / am no longer his master,
But his slave-to he trampled upon
Yet if he put me off, when lam
present,
There always comes the evil day
for his delay
Gives me added strength.
But, best of all, without me, Man
would have no contrast;
He'would have no combat, no winning
game.
His desires would be fulfilled
Therefore commonplace and valueless.
But with me he has the chance to
show of what mettle he is made.
1t is only through me that he builds
himself strong.
1t is only through me that he suffers,
Which makes him rise to nobler
heights.
Yes, Man decries me and deplores
me,
And would deprive me of my place
in the scheme of things.
He forgets that life is a game in
which only struggle brings salts

In which riches are enjoyed only be-
cause of poverty,

THE BIGGEST BOY

The biggest Boy" is not at home
He "flew the nest" last night.
| knew the day was bound to come,
And yet tears dim my sight.
The Biggest Boy" has said goodbye,
And gone to play his peart
On life's grim battlefield and |
Am lone and sad of heart.
The Biggest Boy" said Goodbye
Dad!"
And Dad said, Goodbye, son!"
And then the boy with head erect,
Went forth-his work begun.
And over in the corner there
Dads eyes will fall upon
The Biggest Boys" now vacant chair,
And miss the boy that's gone.
The Biggest Boy" gulped back a sob
When on his lips was pressed
The little mothers goodbye kiss,
When mothers hands caressed.
And then he smiled and went his way
To fight and win, or die;
While Dad and mother could but say,
God bless you, son; good-bye!"
The Biggest Boy" is in the ranks
OF that great fighting band
That seeks by arts of toll and peace
To upbuild this fair land.
And Dad and mother fondly hope
AS only parents can,
The Biggest Boy" will do his part,
And do it like man.

Ye scribe hardly knows where to be-

with interrogotaries from Johnnie

swer, but we will take a shot at it
anyway. Question No. / goes like
this: "What do you think of news
paper man who claims that the mer-
chants of his town work 365 days in
the year," Well, Johnnie" we are
of the opinion that he is like you say
"Splivins" is--reckless--and just got
to writing and ran away with him.
self; possibly the brakes on his type
writer would not function, or some-
thing of that kind. We happen to
know all the merchants Of Columbus,
and we can truthfully say that finer
lot of men could not be found any
where. They are all just as accom-
modating as can be, but they do not
work 365 days in the year. Of course
if there's sickness in your family, or
anything of that kind, they will open
up on Sunday and let you have any
little thing you want, and, taken as
a whole, they cannot be beat. AS for
the advice to the farmers to work
365 days in the year, that stuff is as
old as the hills. Columbus surely is
in need Of rest room, for that old
bunk is enough to make anybody very
weary. Question No 2: What do
you think of newspaper man who
advises the people of his town to do
their trading in another town, and to
put their shoulders to the boosting
wheel and go glimmering around the
5O-mile radius?" Well, sir, as to the
50-mile radius, any man who wants to
boost that thing can do so, but as for
"Splivins," you will find him working
early and late to boost Flint Hill. AS
for us, pull For Flint Hill, or Pull
Out"
We thank you, Johnnie" for your
complimentary remarks. We do the
best we can, and that is all any man
can do.
