Injustice
BY John J. Bormida
The wise guy" steals a million
bucks
, All! He's master mind.
And through his influence, he ducks
The law. No guilt they find.
The poor man steals a loaf Of bread,
And gets one year in Jail.
Although half-starved and nearly
dead,
His pleas most often fail.
The ball player steals in every game.
This life is awful queer.
The more he steals the more his
fame;
When he goes home, we cheer.
The sweetheart steals little kiss;
Asks her to be his wife.
In time he weds this little miss,
And the poor young chap gets life!

Maine Gossip
Think Before You Act

A. L. A. Home Safety Verse
We wish to tell you for your good
Some things that you should know
Things that if rightly understood
May save you from a blow.
Now listen we'll, we will be brief,
In play-play safe; be sure
You do not injure or cause grief
That mothers must endure.
The streets you cross where autos
run,-
Grave dangers Turk therein.
Don't dash, unthinking seeking fun,
Such carelessness don't win.
The heavy truck will crush and kill
. The boy of needless mind.
Though guided by a man of skill
He cannot watch behind.
To be cripple means loss
Tremendous to boy. ...
To go through life and bear this cross
Robs it of every joy.
There's one sure way to save aN pain,
Just think before you act.
If this is done your life will gain.
Remember that great fact.

tanned fishermen are busily at work
scraping and painting and caulking
their boats while their wives are
busting and pressing their blue
yachting uniforms. Summer Is COM
ing. No longer do traps and travis
occupy the attention and time of
the old captains and the younger
men, no longer do they gather at
the store of an evening to talk of
gear and the days catch of fish.
Such things are not the talk Of the
springtime; it Is Summer that oc-
cupies their thoughts. The boats
are out of the water, up on the
ways. Saws hum. hammers pound,
and from early morn till late at
night men are working around the
boat houses Sticking up the boats

we accept any plans for the expen-
diture Of money for this or that high
way project. we might have the de-
tails submitted, that we might know
whence the taxes are to come. This
Is the more essential these days when
enterprise Is staggering under the
tax burden. Much of the expendi-
ture IL rightly made is truly in the
nature Of investment. but we want
to know about 1t. we want to take
for that investment from the sources
which are in a position to invest.
Some of the source from which our
taxes are derived are already over
burdened.

Its an awful feeling to realize
that at thirty everything Is behind

That is the way the hero of
Peter Clark Macfarlane's new novel,
Tongues of Flame" felt when he
settled down after the war to
practice law in Edgewater-a ceast

At first all goes well. Harrins-

the great John Boland. head of all
the Boland industries, begins to
favor him, he rapidly prospers.
Harrington's head Is a bit turned
ana there is reason other than
his rising fortunes. The hero-cynic.
fresh from France, had said. "Wo-
men! I've seen 'em ALL" Again
tne Rates smiled and brought Miss
Billie Boland home 10 Edgewater.
FOR time the hero's war nick

drinks the cup of love and success.
i put mere are dregs in the cup. A
mint OF the hard decisions ahead Of
him comes first from Lahi.et
Marceau. the educated half -breeS
teacher OF the Indian school,
The hero finds he must choose
between allegiance to Boland and
allegiance to his ideals OF honestv
anu justice. To make the choice
more dificult, the woman he adores

Settin' In the Square


Such days as this you'll find lot of
fellers in the square.
Settin' on the benches and restin'
themselves there.
Loaf1ng from the toll and the labors
they amt done.
And takin' mighty keerful keer to
keep out of the sun.
Clawin' and a-scratchin' and talkin'
politics,
And 'lowin that this town of our'n is
in an awful fix.
Some set and yawn and argy, and
others do not fret,
And stead of doing anything, aw,
they just simply set.
Judge Bragg and old Doc Emory and
Cap'n Limpy Brcwn
B'lieve upon the quiet this is a plumb
dead town.
But If a stranger happens by and
wants to take set
And kick a little on the town, well,
you'd just better bet
He dasn't knock old Pruntytown, for
when he starts his say
They jump him like pack of wolves
and send him on his way.
And days ard nights and Sundays
you'll find 'em all right there.
Settin' and a-argyin' out in the pub
lie square.

of Commons the other night:
When we were without experience,

a young girl from England was

relates Sydney i. Cameron.
One beautiful day, while hiking
through the woods, they came upon a
brook. With his cousins permission
Frank took off his shoes and stock

knees, and then took the girl in his
arms ready to cross the brook. The
young lady was delighted at so extra
ordinary an experience.
Halfway across she burst out:
Ripping, it's positively ripping!"
Frank stopped in his tracks and
shouted: What the Devils ripping"
