Ell VENADITO

Soy un triste venadito
que habito en- la serrania,
como no soy tan mansito
no bajo al aqua de dia;
de noche. POGO a poquito,
y a tus brazos, vida mia.
Yo tengo visto el nopal
donde he de cortar la tuna,
como no soy hombre formal
no me gusta tener una;
me gGsta tener de a dos
por ST sc me enoja alguna.
Quisiera ser perla fina
de tus lucidos aretes,
pa morderte la o~rejita
y t%iarte los cachetes;
QUEEN tie manda ser bonita,
81 hasta a mi me compromises.
Voy a hacer una barata
y una gran realization,
las viejitas a centavo,
las m~uchachas a toston;
los yernos a seis c~entavos
las suegras de pilon.
va con esta me despido
pero pronto doy la v~uelta,
nomas que me librc Dios
de una nina mosca muerta,
de esas de lay, mama, por Diosl'~
pero salem a la puerta.

MI VIEJO AMOR

Por unos ojazos negros
igual que penas de amores,
bsce tempo tuve anhelos,
slegrias y sinsabores;
y al dejarlos algun dia
me decian asi llorando:
No tie divides, vida mia,
de 10 que tie estoy cantando.
Que un viejo amor
nj Sc olvida nj Sc deja;
que un viejo amor
de nuestra alma 81 Sc alicia
pero nunca dice adios.
Ha pasado mucho tempo
y otra vez vi aquellos ojo.,

friamente y sin enojos,
y al notar csc d~esprecio
de ojos que a mi me lloraron,
pregunte 81 con ell tempo
sus recuerdos sc olvidaron.
Que un viejo amor

pero nunca dice adios. :.

Mrs. c. H. Oates Sends Yuletide
Message From Home In California

But suddenly, into the dim twi-
light
There flashes a CLEAN of sunshine
bright;
And the lantern fickers, the air
is stirred,
And the sweep Of an angels wing
is heard.
Tell me, my little one, why do you
weep?
Is it because He is so fast asleep?
See! l will wake Him, and Gabriel
smiled,
As he kissed the face of the Heav-
emily child.
But the maiden wept as she turned
to 60,
And midst her sobs came whis-
per low;
"I've nothing to give Him, not
even a flower"
And the tears fell fast like a sum-
mer shower.
Then Gabriel answered, "Come,
child, with me,
The flowers you wish for you soon
shall see";
And he led her forth to a place
most fair,
! Where sweet blossoms scented the
sun-lit air.
She smiled to the angel in glad
delight,
And filled her hands with the
blossoms white;
Then ran with her burden of roses
sweet
And laid them all down at the
Christ-chiId's feet.

THE LEGEND OF THE
CHRISTMAS ROSE

In lowly stable where beasts are
fed,
The Christ-child slept on His man
ger bed;
While the mother knelt and watch
ed at His side
And st. Joseph stood by His VIZ
gin bride.
The snow it lay deep on the field
around,
The sun shone bright on the
sparkling ground;
As a little maiden of lowly birth
Came to worship the Lord OF
Heaven and earth.
And as she knelt low at His infant
feet,
And gazed at His face so pure
and sweet;
Her sad eyes grew dim and hen
heart was sore,
And the great tears dropped on
the stable floor.

ROME. March 5.-Italy'S dispute
with Abyssinia over border raids in
East Africa, which sent a procession
of troop-laden ships across the

It was officially announced that a

miles wide would be established
along the disputed frontier Of
AbysSinia and italian Somaliland.
1t was understood that agreement
had practically been reached on
other all outstanding questions in
the dispute.
The government, it was an
nounced, notified its military gov
eminent at Uardair of its decision
to accept the neutral zone proposal,
and the Abyssinian government
notified its commander at Gerlogubi,
Italy accepted a proposal to al
low nomad tribeSmen to cross the
neutral zone under certain condi-
tions which the military commando
ants in the areas will approve.
The commanders will arrange
procedure until all boundary dis
agreements are eliminated, it was
said.
I Conversations will be continued
at Adds Ababa, the Abyssinian
capital, until all details regarding
the neutral zone have been COM
pleted.

WALLACE ASKS
FARM TENANTS
Be GIVEN HOPE
Advocates Action to Give
Permanent Homes to
Renters.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Henry
A. Wallace, secretary Of Agriculture,
appealed today for immediate &C
ton to eliminate the evils of farm
tenancy and provide permanent
homes for these refugees Of the
economic system the tenant farm
ers and share troopers.
1T will be virtually impossible
for America to develop rural civ
ilization which affords security, OPP
portunity and a fully abundant life
for our rural people unless it acts
to convert tenants into owner farm
ers." Mr.. Wallace told sub-com-
mittee of the Senate Agriculture
Committee.
Secretary Wallace supported the
Bankhead bill to create a Farm
Tenant Homes Corp.
1T is high time" he said. chat
America faced its tenant situation
openly and pursued a vigorous pol
icy of improvement.
THE present condition, particu-
larly in the South, provides fertile
sol for Communist and Socialist
agitators.
Violence Is Not Cure
II do not like the bitterness that
is aroused by this sort of agitation,
but 1 realize that the cure is not
to force violence or oppressive leg
islation to curb these activities, but
rather to give these dispossessed
people stake in the social system
Mr.. Wallace said the cotton acre
age reduction program probably
had added to the tenant problem
but that it was inevitable in E
period of emergency that such dis
turbances should occur"
Whereas the control program
may have produced additional unem-
ployment, lin communities where
practically ali farms are operated
by owners" it has brought about
a greater Investigation of farming
with a resulting higher standard o.
| living" Mr.. Wallace said.
Soil Erosion Cited
Tenants control some of the hes
soil in the nation, Mr.. Wallace said
This is especially serious" he add
ed, because a large proportion o
our tenants have little permanen
interest in soil conservation"
