Spring, Harbinger of Prosperity

Depression, depression, we hear every
where,
From neighbor, the paper and then on
the air;
From morning till night, wherever
we go
To market, to church, or to show.
Get up in the morning and list to the
song
Of the beautiful robin as he hops
along:
Get in touch with the beauties as ma
ture doth sing,
Forget the depression, for this is
Spring.

He Lived To Eat

The latest man in the world died
recently in Pocomoke City, this State.
He weighed 700 pounds, was 35 years
old, was feet 5 inches tall, and lived
in a special room.
His diversified bed was reinforced
with steel braces. His father and his
mother were both normal. His abnor-
NAL size was due to irregularities.
He died as attendants endeavored to
raise him from his bed to eat his din
ner. His casket, as big as car, had
to be handled with a derrick. 1t re-
quired ten gallons of embalming fluid
for him, while an ordinary being, it is
said, requires two gallons.
At his last supper he ate a whole
turkey and all the trimmings, three
dozen eggs, scrambled; 2 dozen buns.
40 glasses of beer and one-half gallon
of coffee.
As most anybody would agree
that's some eatitp." One turkey leg
always does me, without the scram-
bled eggs and buns.
