Moderate decreases in activity in

loadings, and metal tonnage receipts.
These decreases for the most part
offset the better than seasonal gains
recorded in June.

S. Is Fittingly Observed)
Stop your noise said John to Mary,
No one wants to hear you screen
Oh this was years and years ago
When the missus attempted a speech
Way back the dim dim past
Feminine pulchritude in Mobile sKntS quote
Toured this land from end to end
Striving to get the vote.
Maybe they were a queer looking bunch
The mannsh type had not yet evolved $3.50
But stout heart beat meath three quarter oroaocotn
AS DANES very firmly resolved:
The time had for one and all,
The feminine world to have a say,
And since then have been saying plenty
Nor do they hesitate to flay-
Senators and congressman
Whom they or less veX,
And who fought so through the years
Against the opposite SEX
And so appeared the famous amendment
With all it had to teach,
And what's to stop lady since
From voting making speech.
