PZucked From the Plains
Advice to YOUNG Mothers

Advice to Young Mothers
CAS- given by young fathers on the
following important matters:
DIET
"I1l tell you what I'd do if were
feeding that kid and he kept on re-
fusing his mush like that I'd say,
Don't, then, darn yuh' and let it go
at that"
WEIGHT
II don't see why this infant has to
be weighed in at the ringside every
blame day. If the doctor posters you
about it, just tell him the figure on
this printed card on what kids ought
to weigh and that'Il hold the old boy
for while"
CLOTHING
Beats me why just baby needs
such a raft of clothes.
ENTERTAINMENT
1--WE done all my stuff and she
won't laugh at me. Why don't you
give her a lump of sugar? That
ought to keep her quiet"
TRAINING
"A little of the old army discipline
is what that spoiled youngster OF ours
needs. I'd show you if 1 wasn't afraid
he'd howl bloody murder again."
MOTHERS AID
"Sure, I'd be glad to bring you some
gimp for baby's dress from that
drawer. if 1 knew what the deuce
gimp was and what drawer out of q
possible II it is you mean"

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
TOO LATE

I observe in the news that a poet
Climbed fearlessly into cage,
Where q lion was pent and was wholly
intent
On expressing it's unbridled rage.
But the poet pulled out of his pocket
A lifting and metrical lay,
Which he read to the brute in voice
like flute
And kept him completely at bay.
AS child I was always ambitious,
AS a means of accomplishing fame,
To enter g. lair at the circus, and
there
A man eating lion to tame.
pictured the covering monster
AS he cringed in dismay and sur
prise
While his roarings were stilled as he
trembled and thrilled
At the terrible glare in my eyes.
But my parents, profuse with objec-
tions
Forbade me this daring career.
No lions I've eyed with a conquerer'S
pride
While they shuddered and whim-
pered with fear.
And when, every summer, a visit
To wandering circus I paid,
I thought with sigh that my chance
had gone by
When I learned the poetical trade.
And now, though I know that a lion
Will bow in surrender his head
That his roar he'll discard at the
sight of bard
And slyly pretend to be dead,
When I know that by reading a
sonnet
I could quell this invincible brute
I have lost the desire had to acquire
That noble and daring pursuit.

WASHINGTON Senator Hiram
Bingham of Connecticut has the most
gruesome appearing office on Capitol
Hill
His walls are covered with huge
cartoons, some hfe-sized, showing
Cinnamon being tortured and put to
death in all sorts of unfortunate ways.
Bingham picked them up while in
China last summer. They are pro-
paganda cartoons issued by Chinese
nationalistS and communists to illus
trate their versions of what foreign
imperialistS were doing to the people.
The tall and handsome senator from
Connecticut says the style of the art
is Russian rather than Chinese.
The largest cartoon, covering most
of one side of Bingham's inner office,
shows a Chinese being killed by a
foreigner in uniform. Another shows
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-02-10

Chinese enwrapped by a serpent
labeled unequal treaties" and beSet
by a rat, a tiger, wolf, an alligator
and wasp, representing other evils.
In another, our own Uncle Sam IS
shown garroting China, whose head is
caught tight by closing door en-
titled unequal treaties"
A gent in Prairie du Chen, Wis,
thinks the house rules committee

right way to count bases" he writes a
Minnesota congressman. You should
investigate with congress and M.

the same.

bition amendment processes to be lib
eral and tolerant and not pharisaic
and intolerant like the Anti-Saloon
league. 1t doesn't always live up to
it's professions which may be a point
Tor the league, because Vne league
makes no such pretensions.
In a recent propaganda news re-
lease" the association, with elaborate
sarcasm, welcomed into high places
in the dry ranks General Augustine
Cesar Sandino of Nicaragua and Sui
tan Ibn Saud of Nejd.
"Such scum as this" is said in ef-
feet. "are the sort who join American
prohibitioniStS to enforce prohibition
on their people
Leaving aside old Ibn Saud, who
was at last accounts the best fighting
man in Arabia, the association shun-
ned the liberal viewpoint altogether.
THE liberal viewpoint is that Sandino,
long since admitted by his enemies
to be more than a bandit, is fool
ishly brave patriot unfortunate enough
to be opposed by U. S. merines. Fur
thermore, when two good fighting
men like Ibn Saud and Sandino make
their troops stay sober it would seem
that the association might with good
grace let that fact be ballyhooed by
the league.

People will Talk

FeOple VIII Talk
IL threadbare your dress and old
fashioned your hat,
Someone will surely take notice of
that,
And hint rather strong that YOU can't
pay your way;
But don't get excited, whatever they
say,
For people will talk.
If your dress is in fashion, don't think
to escape,
For they criticize then in a different
shape,
tailor is unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's
naught to be made,
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do is to 90 as
you please,
For your mind, if you have one, will
then be at ease.
OF course, you will meet with all sorts
of abuse,
But don't think to stop them, it's not
any USE
For people will talk
You may get through the world. but
twill be very slow,
If you listen to all that is said as Won
go;
You'll be worried and fretted and kept
in a stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have
something to do,
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it
presumed
That your humble position is only
assumed
You're a wolf in sleeps clothing. or
else you're fool;
But don't get excited, keep perfectly
cool,
For people will talk.
And then if you show the least bold
ness of heart,
Or slight inclination to take your
own part,
They will say you're an upstart, con-
ceited and vain.
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to
explain,
For people will talk.

 residsnts are opposed to the extra 1wo m,ll tax voted on by the tire dis trict conltnittes. according to 2 coiii' municatlon received by the Aeraid' and state that the committee shou'u cali special meeting and revoke the extra tax. They claim that only q few people will benefit by the pro- posed new electric lights.
 The communication Is as, follows;
 Are the ire district citizens Of East Berlin going to stand for that extra two mili tax rate this fall. 50 that . small bunch from here work ing in New Britain will have the benefit of saving q .:G cents car fare daily and new electric lights in- stalled on the small space on the flats, for their special benefit?
 'No wonder the N. i.. N. H. & H. Railroad company this spring came very. near closing our station. the same as they did in Bcckley and WestHeld. just for lack of patronage. when men get % stingy that they would rather walk and wear out their shoe leather than pay 2G cents car fare and keep the trolley ser>- ice for the towns only conveyance. wow will be the cry if we lost the trolley some day.
 The small number who come down on the bus from New Britain at night seldom have to walk over the flats as they generally hitch hike home. When the cold weather and blizzards set in then those same people will want the trolley to ride on to save their shoe leather. They must be 2 mighty stingy bunch.
 Perhaps a new tax rate could be created. whereby they can get their shoes soled free of charge and so save .s cents more to bank.
 We cannot conceive of the East Berlin lire district tax committee allowing that two mill tax rate voted on to pass those electric lights which are being aSitated and which can wait awhile to give us breathing spell. Let the committee call a special meeting and revoke said ex- tra tax of two mills. We protest this extra rate"
