The American people have

haven't enjoyed the spectacle
OF a Vice-President sniping for
four years at the policies of
his President and party leader.
If they want Liberal, they
want Mr.. Roosevelt. If they

turns mean anything, they indi-

Listen, dear readers,
Are you all agog
For the annual appearance
OF Mister Ground-Hog?
He comes up from his hole
At break Of day,
And this is the reason
SO we've heard say.
Should he throw no shadow
And the days not clear,
He decides to stay up,
For the Spring that's soon here.
Should he show his shadow
In case there is sun,
He Jumps back to cover
Meaning Winters not done.

No woodchuck is able
To settle this point
But we all like the fable.
