Pitchin' Hay In The Winter Time

By H. Crossley, The Broncho Kid
Oh Spring, please come, and save me from my doom!
Oh Spring please come, and chase away this gloom.
All Winter long, I've been pitching hay,
To the old doggies, the lve-long day;
And, if this keeps on, I'll pass away,
Oh gentle Spring, come soon, l say.
This pitching hay sure amt no fun, -,
1t seems the job, is never done.
Morning comes too soon for me, and then
| pitch more hay to them
Darn mooley cows, and yearling calves.
On Spring, please come soon, so that, |
VIII want to live, instead of die.
For when the green grass grows on the mountain ton
I'll be SO glad, I'll just crow-hop,
And maybe buck, and bawl with glee-
For 1t will mean no more pitching hay, for me.
III drive these critters to where the green grass grows.
And then III lope into town, to see a movie show.
And a barber shop, also and a pool hall too,
And there amt much, that | wont do;
For I'll whoop and yell, and have real fun
When this hay pitching job is done.
oh a cowboys life, is the life for me,
| sure do like, this range country .
In bad lands or mountains, its all the same,
For there is a thrill in the cattle game.
Kound-ups and branding-and mean horses. too
Just suit me fine, I'll tell you;
But IN the winter, this pitching hay
Sure's got my goat, it has I'll saw.

WHERE DID 1T co?

An official report just issued by the Canadian Government states
that during the past twelve months more than 100000 gallons of
ale and beer were legally cleared from that country for destination
III the United States and that the traffic is increasing.
During the period mentioned no doctor in the United States was
permitted to prescribe ale or beer for any sick patient under any
condition whatsoever. Where did this enormous ouanttv of malt
liquor go, and why did our Government officials allow it to be ship
ped into this country?
Day by day the great farce of Prohibition is getting clearer and
clearer to everybody but Congress. In the name of common sense
common deceny and common honesty, how long is this thing going
to continue-Joseph~ Travers-Exchange.
King George OF England has been ordered to go to a warmer
climate, but the doctors who gave the order were a little bit late.
About a million residents OF the Emerald Isle consigned him to A
warmer climate a number of years ago.

four legs, a tail, and an appetite for oats.

to convey the congratulations of the

EM|GRANTS NOT TO {

London, Aug. IA CA. P. by maiD-
Emigration from England and Scot
land to less crowded parts of the ems
pire is less than half as great as be-
fore the war; despite the fact that
the home country is overcrowded and
opportunities for workers seem to
grow scarcer. Last year, despite the
growth of unemployment and the en-
coura cement given to emigrants
through government financial as
sistance, only SS,SS3 people left to
take up residence in the dominions
and colonies. In 1913, when no fl
nancial help was offered by the state,
the number was 223,5S1.
The natural increase of popula-
ton on this island averages about
100000 persons a year at present.
Unless more people depart. over
croWding and perhaps unemployment
will steadily become more severe.
In 1913, statistics given by the Co.
lonial Secretary, show 164,566 people
emigrated from this country to Can
ada and Newfoundland, but last year
the total was only 47,194. For the
same years the number going to
Australia dwindled from 44,50O to
$4,000; to New Zealand, from 1850
to $40 and for other parts of the
empire, from 2,S40 to 1000. Only
SoHth Africa showed an increased
magnetism for migrants, but the fig
ures are insignificant-375 emigrants
in 1913 and $40 last year.
These facts are causing serious
ponderings among many who fee
that trade will never wax large
enough to absorb all the idlers ir
England and Scotland unless their
numbers are vastly lowered by
wholesale migrations to those parts
of the empire which are under pc su
lated. There are some who feel that
emigration never can be made prop
erly attractive so long persons car
stay at home and make a living do.

There have been many efforts t.
