Minnie'S Peter Goose
CBy Della RusselD
Well, old Peter Goose is dead
But that is not all to be said;
For he lived almost through two
winters,
After l wa stold, | could help eat
him for dinner.
| waited and waited and waited.
So one day | thought l would stop
by
to see if that old Goose had taken
sick and died;
But the first thing | spicd was that
old Peter Goose,
And how his old eyes did glitter
AS he cried, Hiss! lIiss!" you might
as we'll ride
I'm still alive"
l had just about given up hope,
When l received a note
For me to come to dinner next Sum /.
day,
For old Peter Goose was sure going .
TO die this winter.
I'd have to see with my own eyes
To believe it. could bc so,
So, got in shape TO ride;
Oh, yes, Old Peter Goose is gone,
But he must have tasted first rate,
If you'll look at the bones
Some of the guests left on their
plates.
But if you could see this bunch,
You too would have a hunch,
That l wasn't the only one waiting
TO help eat Old Peter
But l still can't believe it was ever
meant,
For Old Peter Goose to be where
That axe went.

 In cluded in the justice depart ment expenditures recommended was a $11,369,500 item for the bureau of prohibition, the same amount allowed in this years budget.
 Following the precedent set by other appropriation bills reported this session, the house committee slashed departmental expenditures considerably below President Hoovers budget recommendations
 A total appropriation of $124.- 713,818 for all expenses of the four departments is carried in the bill. This represents a decrease of more than $5,OO0,000 under the budget figure and is $14,000,000 under ex- penditures for the current fiscal year.
 At the same time, the committee made public it's hearings on the bill, which revealed that aside from the direct $11,000.000 ap- propriation for prohibition enforce ment, the justice department will spend about 50 per cent of it's other appropriations for criminal cases involving enforcement of the 18th amendment.
 Attorney General Mitchell also told the committee the prohibition bureau had requested the budget 10 allow it more than $2,25O, ,00O additional funds for next year, but this had be nedenied. The added expeniture would have been used
