efts for world war veterans.
Among sose of the newly enacted
laws are the following:

actual cost OF food. the transporta-
ton facilities being provided by the
government. free Of charge.

and totally disabled have until July
2, 1927 to convert war risk insurance
TINE also has been extended until

ceased veterans, which are now held
up pending the decision Of the comp
troller.
Another interesting act recently

ment.

''For a long time the market board

future delivery, were interested in
depressing the market in order to

the American buyer refuses to do

He isn't a mild or obedient child,
He has traits that are dreadfully

There are criminal instincts in him.
We have also been watching his

Who ruined her mothers new hat
With a lemon eclaire which she hid

Though the incident made quite a

But it seems to be plain-we admit

And thrusts away nourishing foods.
He stays awake nights, like burg

Already it's easy to tell
From the temper he's got that he'll
be had lot,
Having criminal instincts as well.
Why send such a family to college,
Why school them in Latin and
Greek,
When with blackjack and gun, once
real life has begun
Their fortunes they'll probably
seek?

And so at the future we quail
But the best thing to do, seems

To put all three, now, in some
