They tell me that old Californ'
Is a mighty wondrous place;
There's oranges, apples, peaches, pears,
And other things of grace.
But you never hear them telling
About their big earthquakes,
That wreck the houses they have built
Between the many shakes.
Oh, Kansas, too, is mighty fine;
Wheat's their recompense;
They raise a lot of it each year,
(And sell for thirty cents.)
They, too, have cyclones year by year,
And fierce ones you may bet,
Why, if they didn't dig right down
They'd all be going yet.
No matter where you chance to go
You'll find that this is right,
You'll have to pay for what you get
And pay it with a fight.
If you would live to be a king
You'll have to pay the fee;
You cannot get the things you want
Without fighting heartily.
But Montana has a noble heart,
She doesn't give much ware,
But when the time for payment comes
You can always pay her share.
AND when everything is said and done,
(There's few that ever doubt,)
Montana'll knock you down, perhaps,
But she'll never knock you out.

McNamee was a promising concert
baritone when he walked into 1876
Broadway in May, 1922. He had made
successful concert appearance at
Aeolian Hall only few months before,
and he expected to keep his new
tangled radio job only until the con-
cert season began again in the Fall.
But when October rolled around,
McNamee was already attached to
radio and the program executives at
WEAF had little trouble inducing him
to stay. He began announcing more
and more programs, and singing over
the air occasionally as well.
Then, in 1923, he received two as
signments which marked his path in
deliblv before him. The managers of
WEAF decided that there should be a
radio report of the Harry Greb-Johnny
Wilson championship fight. No one
remembers now just why McNamee was
picked for the job. but the veteran
broadcasters distinctly recall the en-
thusiasm with which listeners greeted
his performance. In the same year he
described his first world series-a task
which has now become an annual as
signment.
McNamee first sprang into national
prominence in 1924, when an extended
network heard his report of the memo
rable and protracted Democratic Ma
tional Convention. AS the sessions
stretched out, day after day, McNamee
supplied breezy interludes of comment
and chatter between Alabama's dron-
ing "24 votes for Underwood"
