INDEPENDENCE MONITOR "THE PAPER THAT EVERYBODY READS" VOL.5 INDEPENDENCE, POLK COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1917 NO. 46 THE RHYMING SUMMARIST Five thousand, we do present And it is freely given That not a single soldier boy Will e'er regret he's livin'; The Red Cross drive is by and done And we hope there's not another, But if there is We'll make the whiz, Just as we did the other. Again the Fourth, the glorious Fourth, The big day is approaching, But it's not like once it was, The safe and sane's encroaching; There used to be a big parade, Baloon go up and racing, Baseball game, Fireworks came, And lively greased pig chasing. Maids spoke for all the states, The Declaration was a top line reeler And no celebration was complete Without the wound up spieler; There was a President of the Day And Grand Marshal, official bawler, How we'd whirl With every girl Till we tired the caller. So we fear the old fashioned Fourth Is nowr a sure back number, Sadie says its used most now To auto, fish and slumber; No great exodus as yet To seek the -ocean's breezing, When right here Oft we fear, Our nights are too near freezing.

His name wus Ieo, and, just like Mary's lamb, everywhere May went her I-eo was sure to go. - One day, when tliey were out playing near the Mk iud, along came a great biK dug aud bulked at May. Of course she was much afraid and ran like anything to get over the fence. She could not bare been any more scared if It had been a big cow that came at her. I-eo ran like anything too. And when May had scrambled over the fence into the next lot Leo stood on top of the fence and waited for the great, big dog. Now, real lions are much bigger than doga, of course. But Leo was only a pet rag doll Hon. Still, be bravely waited. Aud Just as the big dog leap ed upon the fence to Jump after May, Leo nipped a little piece right out of bis left ear. "Kl-yi!" yelled the great, big dog. "I guess I will not scare the little girl any more today, after all." So be ran off home, just as fast as May and Leo did. Undrssssd. A little tot who liked to run to the door for letters bad never seen a postal card. When one came In she ran to ber mother with it, saying, "Oh. mamma.

We were once branded in the public prints as slackers when it came to aiding the Red Cross and the above is our answer. If called upon once more, and it is the general Expectation ' that we will be, South Polk will "come thru" again.
