NO MORE MOTH HOLE
IF YOU USE
LarVOX

You have heard of waterproOfing; And
freproofng; Now comes mothprOofing
with Larvex. This is what this great
preparation does-actuaIly mothproofs
the cloth itself so that no moth worm
will take ever a single bite. When Lar
vpx is sprayed on any WOODEN fabric, it
penetrates the fabric and becomes part
of the wool fibre. The fabric then be-
comes safe from moth-damage for an en-
tire season or unless worn or washed.

Poems You VIII Enjoy

Life's a Funny Proposition After All
(By George Cohan)
/.
Did you ever sit and ponder, sit and
wonder, sit and think,
Why we're here and what this life
is all about?
It's problem that has driven many
brainy men to drink,
It's the weirdest thing they've tried
to figure out;
About thousand different theories
all the scientists can show,
But never yet have proved a reason
why
With all we've thought and all we've
taught why all we seem to know
Is-we're born and live while
and then we die.
Chorus:
Life's a funny proposition aver ALL
Imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy and
gall;
Three meals a day, whole lot to say,
When you haven't got the coin you're
always in the way.
Everybody's fighting as we wend our
way along,
Ev'ry fellow claims the other fellows
in the wrong.
Hurried and worried until we're buried
and there's no curtain cali;
Life's funny proposition after all.
II.
When all things are coming easy and
when luck is with man,
Why this life to him is sunshine
everywhere;
Then the fates blow rather breezy
and they quite upset plan.
Then he'll cry that lifes burden
hard to bear;
Though today may be a day of smiles,
tomorrow'S still in doubt
And what brings me Joy may bring
you care and woe;
We're born to die, but don't know
why, or what it's all about,
And the more we try to learn the
less we know.
Chorus:
Life's a very funny proposition, you
can bet,
And no ones solved the problem as
yet;
Young for day, then old and gray,
Like the rose that buds and blooms
and fades and falls away;
Losing health to gain our wealth, as
thro' this life we tour.
Ev'rything's a guess and nothing's
absolutely sure;
Battles exciting and fates we're fight
ing until the curtains fall;
Life's very funny proposition after
all.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
ALWAYS BE KIND TO ANIMALS

The furtive coyote was ruthlessly slain
For his habit of making meal,
When the snow drove him in from the
winter swept plain,
On tender young mutton and veal
With rifles and shotguns they drove
him away,
They followed wherever he fled,
And the farmers declared: "Raisin
stock ought to pay
Now that all of them varmints is
dead"
But as soon as the final coyote ex-
4 ~ pired, ta.
The rabbits and gophers and such
Which had hitherto daily discreeGly
retired
To coyote-proof h1lrrow and hutch,
Unafraid of the fangS that once scared
them away,
In millions appeared on the scene =
And, recruiting their myriad ranks
every day
They ate the whole countryside
clean.
The ranchman now stares with sor-
rowing eye
At the fields where the crops used
to stand,
While the sunlight beats down from
the warm summer sky
Upon nothing at all but bare land.
No corn in the silo, his heart to
rejoice,
No brown cracking hay in the stack,
And he says with a mournful and
pentitent voice
"Gosh, wish them coyotes was
back"
And possibly you, when, as gathers the
gloom
And the night wind dies down to a
breath,
With vicious and open-hand wallop
you doom
Some luckless mosquito to death
And smile as you sit there and look
at him Squirm,
Will say with a sorroWful sigh,
"I have slain the devourer of some
wicked germ
Which is sure to get me by and ny!"
