At Next Big Dance □
In rummaging through our files we found the fol
lowing poem which we never tire in publishing, and At the la-t regular meeting of
Kerby Post No. 70, American :
though a little late, it is our tribute to Mother:
MY MOTHER
Who fed me from her gentle breast
And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on mv cheeks sweet kisses prest?
My Mother.
When sleep forsook my open eye
Who was it sung sweet lullabye
And rocked me that I should not cry?
My Mother.
Who sat and watched my infant head
When sleeping in my cradle bed
Ami tears of sweet affection shed?
My Mother.
When pain and sickness math« me crv
Who gazed upon my heavy eye
And wept, for fear that 1 should die?
My Mother.
Who taught my infant lips to pray
To love God’s holy Word and day
And walk in wisdom’s pleasant way?
My Mother.
And can I ever cease to be
Affectionate and
thee
Who was so very

My Mother.
Oh, no, the thot I cannot bear
And if God please my life to span*
I hope I shall reward thy care—

Legion, it was decided to give
prizes at the next dance to be
held Saturday, May 15th
There is a surprise in store for
those who attend this dance, and
there should be a lot of fun for
everyone who is on the floor at
the time the prizes are awarded
if you like to dance, if you like
good music, in short if you like a
good time you will not want to
miss the Legion dance Saturday.

Down there they’ve chased the

Courageous Republicans.
HO, besides the writer, can re
call when the Democrats held
their jubilization rallies the night be

Republicans the night after the re
turns were in, when they had some
thing to jubilate over? Now the sit
uation is just the other way around.
The Literary Digest poll was prac

Still, we must give that dimin

English Recruiting.
HE English are still having
trouble inducing young fellows
to join the colors. First, the gov
ernment tried to increase enlist
ments by giving every recruit a gid
dy new blue uniform, absolutely free
of charge, and still the lads re
fused. So now. as an appeal which,
’tis believed, no true Britisher can
withstand, the military authorities
announce that, hereafter. Tommy
Atkins will have time off for after
noon tea.
This may be a new notion for
peacetime, but, during the great
war, the custom was maintained
even up at the front. Many a time
I've seen all ranks, from the briga
diers on down, knocking off for tea.
However, this didn’t militate
against his majesty's forces, be

mans, over on their side of the line,
were having coffee—or what the
Germans mistake for coffee. And
the French took advantage of the
lull to catch up with their bookkeep
ing on what the allies owed them
for damage to property, ground
rent, use of trenches, billeting
space, wear and tear, etc., etc.
Did it ever occur to our cwn gen

The Job of Censorship.
NE reason why moving pictures
are so clean is because some
of the people who censor them have
such dirty minds. To the very
pi re everything is so impure, is it
not? That's why some of us think
the weight of popular opinion, rath
er than the judgment of narrow
brained official judges in various
states, should decide what should
and what should not be depicted.
Anyhow, there are so many movies
which, slightly amending the old
ballad, are more to be pitied than
censored.
Sponsors of radio programs also
lean over backward to be prudishly
proper. But without let or hindrance
the speaking stage, month by
month, grows fouler and filthier.
Suggestive lines once created a
shock in the audience mind. The
lines no longer suggest—they come
right out and speak the nastiness.
Sauce for the g<x>se isn't sauce for
the gander, ’twould seem—or may
be, after the reformers got through
saucing radio and screen, there
wasn't any left over for th« so-
called legitimate stage.
