THE GOOD OLD DAYS

night
To a raggedy dollar bill?
Who remembers the corner saloon,
Where you got the festive ''hOrn,"
The schooner of beer-that amber

And a headache in the morn:
Who remembers the old town pump.
The dipper that hung on n chain?

that Presidents shall be at least 50

what have the next 10 years in store
for LndberEh and is fame everlasting
or ephemoral? Certainly the fever of
excitement and enthusiasm is such
that if Lindbergh were 10 years older
and received such popular acclaim he
would he discussed politically just as

So far AS common sense and good
