an army of nit-wits and l. w. w
agitators who clamor for reduced
working hours and for creating NOR,

You and | and the U. S. A.,
We hate to work, we love to play
We watch the clock and squirn

While we are declaiming the free
dom of this great Republican Gov
ernment," there is a motley ganl
of would-be snobs who fawn anc
slobber before wealth in the hope
that they can get something fol-
nothing, and in the meantime they
snub and insult poor people of high
character and worthy ideals.
You and / and the U. S. A.
We barter ethics for display;
Betray true friends and fattei
wealth,
And try to win our way by stealth
There is a vast army of people
who are willing to wear ragged
underwear and live in novels if they
can only have an automobile and
swell suit of clothes so that they
can "shoot the bull" about what q
speedy boat" they have, and how
much pains their tailor takes in
making their clothes.
You and | and the U. S. A.,
We love to brag, we love to bray
Then wonder why the folks we

While corrupt politicians are left
unhindered to despoil the country
boost taxes, swell their bank ac-
counts with graft and make oui
country the laughing-stock of the

wise respectable citizens who excuse
themselves by saying that they DOM
want to dabble in politics because
they are so rotten.
You and ! and the U. S. A,
We see our Government decay
With putrid office-holding quacks

A correspondent to this paper who
signs a "Ph.D." after his name
spelled appendicitis "pendecitis." He
also signs himself "A.B." for the
degree of Bachelor of Arts" but

Yet some people can't understand
why an editor enjoys his work!

The Wisconsin Clothiers Asso,
citation reports that the habit Of
the Prince of Wales in neglectine
to have his trousers pressed is
causing lot of the so-called Smart
ly dressed" men of this country t.
wear baggy trousers.
A loud snort of indignation from
Jack Sklute!
We don't know whether or not tn,
Prince will be blamed for another
current news report to the effec
that students at Wabash, (Ind.)
College have discarded garters.

Another snort, mot so loud,) from
AL. Mathews!
But we are quite sure that tn,
Prince didn't have anything to do
with the style innovation Frat
Lanik, Austrian actress, tried t.
start at the initial performance o.
adam and Eve" Rehearsals, &C
cording to the news report, had gon,
along smoothly. But when the cur
tain was raised for the first public
showing, the stage director yelled
frantically. Lower the curtain!'
He discovered that Frau Lanil
had literally interpreted the part o.
Eve which she was playing. "Hei
costume" according to the news re
port, $50 far as could be observed
was the costume affected by tn,
original Eve before the expulsion
from the Garden of Eden"
Evidently Frau Lanik is a firm
believer in advertising.
