Pungent Paragraghs
By E. E. Hayes
THE PLANERMAN'S BAND.
Talk about your ’cello
Or the violin,
Or anykind o’ thing
There’s any music in,
Talk about your string bund
Or slide trombone or flute,
Any sort of footer
That you know how to toot.
But ‘tain’t no use talking
Don’t say nothing to me,
I have my planer-tune
With its "whoo-ong Whee-ee.”
1 can shove in a board.
Maybe a one by ten,
And push in the button
And you should listen then.
She starts off real slow
And then begins to sing
And turns out melodies
As sweet as anything.
Wow!. A knot comes along,
Then it’s "whow-ee-ee Whow,”
And the planer-boss shouts
"What the hell’s happened now.”
CITY HOUSEKEEPING.
Almost anyone is quick to condemn
a careless, slovenly housekeeper, but
very often the same person who
would criticize a housewife for per­
mitting her home to remain untidy
and unkempt will pass right by and i
never see trash and refuse on side-1
walks, in streets and alleys.
The|
community housekeeping is consid­
ered a criterion of the character of
its people, and an up-to-date, clean-
cut, progressive community takes I
pleasure in making of itself a spot- ■
less town as much on account of en­
joying cleanliness as for the compli­
ments of visitors and prospective
citizens.

At once she gets going
And she toddles along
Making such sweet music
With the “Whoo-ong Whee” song
Now hits a curly board
With all the speed she has.
You oughta
Holy- sntoke-
Just listen to the jazz.
But when op. B and Better
Tis music soft and sweet,
The blowpipe a-picking
Up the shavings so neat:
We then do classic music
Like rippling of the brook.
Planer-boys seem dreamy
Most everywhere you look.
There is a natural tendency on the
part of beauty and industry to seek
pleaant and wholesome surroundings.
Did you ever see bees and butterflies
hovering over a spot where only1
skunk-cabbage grew?

My planer’s doing music
And its best that I know,
Better’n all the string bands
Or the things that you blow.
Talking of real music
Why the planer’s “whoo-ee,”
The planerman’s meloday,
Is the sweetest to me.

Mr. Dick Wick Hall,

Salome, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
I have been reading in the Satur­
day Evening Post about a frog that
w»s hatched out. by a hen from an
egg that was found on the deserUand
I have been reading so many things
about the wonderful stunts that frog
has pulled, that I am beginning to
have my doubts as to the authenti­
city of these stories.
Of course I
know that the HEAT at Salome will
make anything do almost anything,
The source from which we sprung
is not so important as whence we
are springing.
