Why Not Battling Kings?
A 'Real French Duel
Death, devastation, miles of
graves, thousands of families,
destitute and starving, wrecked
cities and historic treasures sav
ed for centuries for the good of
future generations, now in ashes.
What does it all mean? -
Within a few days Europe's
great hives of industry and her
surjDOsedly happy people turned
to each other's throats and tyra-
nv reigns.
She is trying her latest death
dealing guns on human targets,
tearing assunder all the teach
ings of a half century and wor
shiping at the shrine of the de
mon of death. She goes, on ana
on to self destruction.
What is human life?
Merely a food to feed their
guns, as kings set back and; play
the destructive game of war
Are people like dumb brutes,
to be herded and driven into the
shadow of death?
Fighting for the kings and
leaving their families to beg, is
a patriotism that Bhould cease to
exist. War crazed kings should
get into the ring personally and
have it a' family duel of kings,
and end the war abruptly.

"MEN THE FROST IS ON THE PUMPKIN"
When the year's work is ended, and the crops are
safely harvested, when the struting turkey cock
makes you think of white meat and drumstick and
wishbone-and your mind dwells on the thoughts
of pumpkin pie. When the smell of Thanksgiving
is in the nir-and you count your blessings.
You will surely be thankful for, if your buildings
are built and "Tum-a-Luraber"
repaired with
and your fuel bin is full of
"Tum-a-Lump"
