Berton Braley's Poem
GOING!

GOING!
John Barleycorn is sinking,
One foot Is in the grave;
Though people still are drinking
The alcohol they crave,
The stuff is getting rarer
And scantter-and worse
Until we drink in terror
With visions Of a h~earse.
JOHN BARLEYCoRN Is weaker,
Less jbEeent In his thrali, /,
Although the earnest seeker
Can still get alcohol:
Although bootleggers flourish
Upon their profits IA.
You can't forever noutish
John Barleyeorn on that.
JOHNS deyoteeS diminish
As Johns good hooch runs out
He's getting near his finish
There's isn't any doubt:
He won't be persisted wholly
For quite a while. I guess,
He's dying very slowly
But dying, none the less!

THE M. |. A. SLOGAN

Our slogan this year has many
phases of equal Importance and ma
ny which are usually overlooked.
Each day Of our lives we can see
where we might adhere more close
ly to the laws of the land and the
laws of God He who does Just
what is required of him and no
more is not a loyal citizenl The
Lord God has declared that He who
waits to be commanded in all things
is slothful and unwise servant.
Hard to believe, you say? Well, per-
haps so in most cases. But surely
we all can see the wisdom of the
statement.
Consider a possible condition
which would prevail in case all man
kind were converted to this one
statement. We would need no Off
GERS to enforce the law, for people
would enforce it by their own liv-
ing. We would need no petty laws
to keep people moving. and many
more might be named.
When we come into the world, we
are endowed with a conscience. |
This comforter will lead us into the
paths of law and order providing
we have not killed it out by lives
Of continual defiance to what we
know to be right.

Our Own
Home Town
Contributed by A Citizen of Oakley

If your best girl lives in Oakley
and is sitting there waiting for you.
why then Oakley has it plastered all
over Salt Lake for architecture,
beauty, civic pride, social distinc-
ton, all-around intelligence and up
to-dateness.
Perhaps you have looked out f
the car window while travelling and
pitied the people who have to live
in other towns. You compare the
meager picture of the village with
the far-flung and magnificent pano-
rama of the city boulevard, stream
ing with life and buttressed by tow
ering palaces. Before you add up
the total of your observations, re-
member that the village resident has
seen the boulevard and has chosen
the village.
Every town is city if the man
living there finds opportunity, the
right woman, a sound roof over his
head and the trimmings of normal
existence. Before you make him
the victim of your SNUG compare
sons, try to find out if these moving
motor cars and high apartment hou-
ses have really added any impor-
tance to your submerged career.
No one has ever dislodged any
mortal from those preferences and
predictions which are founded up
on the sentimental associations of
youth. Try to convince an old time
fan that Mike Kelley did not class
above Ty Cobb or Babe Ruth
The eyes of youth are magnifying
glasses and the Imagination which
has not become weary sees every
thing in colors. Go back to your
old home town and learn that the
stately mansions have shrunk to cot
tages and the old swimmin hole is
Just puddle of warm water.
The most desirable spots on the
map are those that treated you
right Our best people are those
who send invitations. All streets
ire wide to the prosperous man. No
,ther town can compare with the
one giving welcome to contentment,
and happiness.
