A SONG OP THE WEST
When I think of the great Big City
With its turmoil and its din
It’s frantic ceasluss scramble
It’s squalor woe and sin
It’s utter lack -of feeling
For its weaker fellow man—
Where chivalry is but a myth
I thank God that I am
In the west and of the west
Where above Blue Heavens soil
No canopy of vice is spread
And each may daily toil
F or those most dear the ones he loves
Ah Yes! He is most Blest
Who lives far from the city
In our golden west
V l(
I envoi”
La us sing of the west
And its luring enchantment
By cowboys lone fire
Or freighters encampment
By her cool purling streams
Its mountains and plains
You bask in its sunshine
You e’n love its rains
Dear old mother nature
We’re close to your breast
No “fearln” out here in—
Our “en-dear-iu” west

GOD BLESS OUR DAD - '
S We happened into a home the
other night and over the parlor
door saw the legend worked in let-
ters of red “What is Home With-
out a Mother?” Across the room
was another brief “God Bless our
Home”- j “
Now what’s the matter with
“God Bless our Dad!” -He gets up
early lights tlie fire boils-' an egg
and wipes the dew off Ihe lawn
with his boots while many a moth-
er is sleeping He makes the week-
ly hand out to the butcher the
milkman and the baker and his lit-
tle pile is demolished before he has
been home an hour
If there is a noise in the night
Dad is kicked in the back and
made to go down stairs and find the
burglar And kill him Mother
darns the socks but Dad bought
the socks in the first place and the
needles and yarn afterwards Moth-
er does up the fruit Dad bought it
all and jars and sugar host like the
mischief
Dad buys the chicken forTSunday
dinner serves them himself and
draws the neck from the ruins af:er
everybody else is served “What
is Home Without a Mother?’ Yes
that’s alright but “Wbat is Home
Without a Father?” Ten oliances
to one it’s a boarding house father
is under a slab and tlie landlady is
the widow Dad here’s to you!
You’ve got your faults you may
have lots of ’em but you’re alright
and we’ll miss you -when you’re
gone
HOW TO KEEP A TOWN
PROM IMPROVING
In the first buy everything you
need in some other place If you
have a flouring millsend off for al
your flour It sounds better to
have it come from a -'distance even
should the quality be inferior If
you have a brick yard send off
for your brick it makes a man feel
important to ship in a few car loads
of brick no difference if he should
have to pay more for them - than he
would at the home factories If
you have a good job of printing be
sure and not give it to your home
printer Send it to a city press if
it does cost you double what it
would at home You might give
vour home printers the small jobs
it will save trouble If you want a
barrel of sugar a sack of coffee a
chest of tea a barrel of -molasses a
wagon load of salt and other things
send off for them by all raeans
And then you can boast to your
neighbors that you buy your gro-
ceries the city It will cost you
a little in freight and time but
then you will have the satisfaction
of knowing that your money will
not be squandered in building up
your own town If you want dry
goods send to the city If yon
want a suit of clothes don’t buy
t at home you might help build
up your town your merchants
would get hold of the money and
the profits would go - to enhancing
the wealth of your town Buy
everything yon can from other
towns
YE COUNTRY EDITOR
One of the hardest duties in the
world is to fill the news columbs of
a local paper with interesting items
when there is no news to write It
is far more vexing and perplexing
than a person who has never had
any experience in newspaper work
can well imagine The paper must
come out on time and the reading
matter has to be supplied from
some source When the brain of
the editor becomes weary mind in
active and his faithful scissors dull is
it do you imagine any child’s play
for him to probe the gas-bags of
iis imagination and bring forth a
column or more of original “wind”
that will both edify delight and in-
struct his readers? Verily the life of
country editor is full of trials
troubles and perplexities and like
the wicked he is doosed to not
out half his days -

THE TURKEY
A turkey that is hatched from
an egg is of few days and full of
trouble He cometb forth like a
flower and is cut down he fleeth al-
so as a shadow and continueth not
As for the hen turkey her d ays are
as grass as a flower of the field so
she flourisheth In the morning
she is alive and olucketh in the
evening Bhe is cast into the oven
Even so it is with the gobbler
Today he plumetli himself he strut-
teth abroad and draggeth his wing
on the ground as if one shpuld say
Aha” To-morrow he falleth a
prey to the carver his flesh parted
asunder and his bones are distribut-
ed among the spoilers 1 In bis
pride he eateth corn and waxeth
i 'at saying to himself “All things
are made for my enjoyment”
When his fall cometh there is none
who rememberetb the day of tri-
umph and all men mock him
The ban turkey thinketh in secret
she will raise a young brood and
ayeth eggs but when she is served
upon a platter the eater lays to
and Bhe passeth away The young
turkey sven the little ones in the
spring hide themselves in the stub-
le and strive against the wind and
the storm for life is sweet to little
turkeys 'But when they are be-
come large and fat and the voice
of Thanksgiving is heard in the
and suddenly their clucking ceas-
eth and they become a part of the
people
