WHEN?
When Klamath moonshine
tastes like mellowed
Scotch, '
When 'Main Street' guesses
right on anything;
When Blwood Mead given
Eberlein a watch,
And Malarkey shoots a duck
that's on the wing ;
When Strahorn says: "I'm
for the Northern Line,"
And Groesbeck answers
back' "That goes for me."
Then the city council's go
ing to treat uh fine,
And fix South Sixth just like
it ought to be.
When light and water costs
start coming down,
When Newell can mold the
farmers just like wax,
When all street signs are
placed thruout the town,
And timber owners pay an
honest tax;
When Lake Ewauna's clos
ed to sewage trash,
And they build another
court house in Hot Sprigs
Then McKee and Shoup and
Work will get the cash,
To present their old pal,
Murray, golden wings.
When NeBmith says. "I'm
through with politics,"
When they stop the cinder
nuisance for all time;
When they start to tossing
flowers instead of bricks,
And when truth becomes a
virtue not a crime ;
When the chuck-holes in the
streets are all repaired,
And they give the mayor
praise as well as raps;
If we really wondered how
our neighbors fared,
Then we'd make a better
town of this perhaps.

At' a sportsmen's meeting lajt

plan depended entirely upon vh."th

selfish enough to devste a fe.v

Then if the duck burning were
to be tound feasible, contributions
would be called for and the work
carried on In en orderly manner.
