Some have proved that they are

In fact, there are four outstanding

Hadlev and Lisenbee of Washington
and Pipgras and Moore of the New

nolnced successes. Pipgras has been
tried before, but he has not been
thrown into the warning OF the tribes
as he has been this year. and II Is IN
most respects his freshman season.

thought differently. Hadey has been
a very good first-year winner for him.
Many liked Lisenbee in the South,
but thought him too frail. He is no
Hercules. Yet he is the slight chap
who has pitched the Yankees to what
are called five defeats, and he is the
only pitcher in the American League
who has buttoned up that team so sue
cessfully.

lnew developments have altered the

on agriculture obviously were con-
cession to politics for, while noting
a great improvement in the farmer
lot, the president was willing to go
considerably further before.
Agriculture, relegated as far back

appeared on page 8. Linked with
the protective tariff and the farm
loan system, it received nearly four

a half in 1925.
Then, Mr.. Coolidge said agriculture
as whole had improved in the

that many localities and groups were
still in distressing condition, -
which was probably temporary" The
farmers, he was convinced, did not

especially interesting reading when

sage to the last congress two years
age.
He made it known that ne left

21 pages as compared with 26 subjects
in IS pages in December, 1925. Sub
divisions Of the 1925 message which
did not appear this year were World
Court, Budget, Foreign Debt Immi-

Judges, Mothers Aid, Civil Service,

The messages are alike in many
respects, but on three important sub

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
The Judgment of the Dumb

1ne judgment OF Lne DumD
A cat, when it looks at cinema show
Will yawn with exceeding ennui,
With a. lash Of it's tail it will stride to
and fro
Whatever the drama may be.
The crowd may be thrilled with the
action and plot
And applaud with tumultuous eclat
But whether the play is exciting or not
It has never kick for cat.
A dog, when he's taken to gaze at the
screen
Will nervously wriggle about,
Abruptly refusing to take in the scene
But trying his best to get out.
No fighting, no shooting, no animal
stuff
Serves to set the dumb creature
agog.
No film ever made is enthralling
enough
The men who have made these expert
ments claim
That the lack, in all quadruped kind
OF love for the best in the photoplay
game
Is proof of an immature mind
They say that a brute, were his senses
as keen
AS a mans, all it's dates would forego
And sit there and gaze at the flicker
ing screen
Eager eyed to the end of the show.
Unlettered in science am 1, confess
No skill could ever attain
In patiently seeking, with guess after
guess
To fathom quadrupeds brain.
But 1 hold, if when looking at cinema
shows
They never grow earnest and tense
Nor betray any wish to remain till the
close, Z
That it speaks nather well for their
sense.
