i think about it.
All of this enormous host
of people are eating out of
the public breadbasket. They

if they had private wealth
and had retired to pursue
some impractical hobby.
Such people as that do, at

be lifted off the public’s neck

WeM Reed, who ia niuchly
interested a cleaner town,
discovered a poem written
by Miss Mae Richardson,
who is now Mm. T. C. Jester
of Houston, and read at a
Civic League rally. Bv re-
quest we re-publish It.
SIM K At AT PIN AH JOINED
THE LEAK IF.
Well, I wonder hnd y<u heard it?
There’* a boom on in thi* town,
An’ the women folk* i* working
An’ a moving ’round ar round.
Nc, it ain’t to vote they’re work-
ing far,
Not any aocial call;
But it’h i«ut a “clean-up” message
That they’re bringing to u* all.
And they’ve formed a comber-
nation,
What they call a civic hand,
And their object is to make thi*
town
The cleanest in the land.
When I saw how hard they’re
working
And how much they tried to do,
Well, I felt it was my duty;
So, I up and jined them too.
Now l never tho’t ’twould fill me
With *o much enihusi-»Rm
But amid thd great excitement
I forgot my rheumatinm,
Fer the deacon jined them al»o,
Now, I tho’t »ho* he’d refuse.
But he realiy gave a dollar
When they »aked him for hi*
due*,
An’ I ju*t wi*h you could notice
What a change about our place;
Why, the deacon wears a grin
That’* Rpreadin’ clean aero**
hi* face.
An’ that ole backyard of ourn—
Weil, I’m sure you’d never know
It to be the same ole trash pile
That it wa* a month ago.
Fer we cleaned up all that rubbish
An’ we sent it all away;
Now, the deacon’s making Aver
beds
An’ a-working every day.
An’ not only in the hack yard—
Ever nook about the place, *
From the ole front gate to horse
lot
Wears a took of stately grace.
For we’ve cleaned out all the
ditches.
An* I tell you that ole street
What runs just in front of our
house
I* a lookin’ powerful neat.
But me an’ the deacon had some
trouble
Tryin’ to keep things nice and
clean,
Fer we’ve got some folk* fer
neighbors—
Wei!, I call ’em downright mean.
Why, 'twas on a Tuesday morning
In the dea<on come and said:
“Dinah, Mirandy Spriggin’s
rooster's
Thar in your nasturtium bed.”
Weil, I vum, I lost my ’iigion—
Don’t ask me what I said—
For I chased that ole red rooster
Till I dropped down flat, most
dead.
Since then I've been awful angry,
Just the worst you ever saw,
W I'll work like Carrie Natron
To enforce a chicken law.
No, I ain’t opposed to chickens;
Deacon likea them mighty fine.
But when me an’ Deacon raise
chickens *
We shut up the scratchin’ kind.
Then there’s another trouble—
It’s given me a sight of pain,
An’ the deacon’s (tone and warned
me
I must not say anything.
But I’m goin’ to say it nohow—
Sometimes I’m too mad to talk,
When I see a great big fellow
Spitting (Kg a concrete walk.
N’ow it won’t be this way always,
some day we ii nanr oui it
If you spit on this here sidewalk
It’s a fifty dollar fine.
You see every one could help us
By the little things they do.
Don’t sit back and wait for
others—
Everyone, you know, means
YOU.
Let the men who are In business
Keep the store all nice and neat,
Sweep the rubbish from the side-
walk,
Leave no waste paper on the
street.
And If grocerymen their vege-
tables
And fruits would bring to view
See that they’re well protected
So the dust cannot get through.
Why you know, most every
morning
When I order grocer-i-e-«
I say, “Don’t you send tomatoes
That’s been sitting in the flies.”
I tell yv>u now, we'll have a city
That will be our greatest pride
If you’ll only join the battle
An’ will rally v, oor side.
We’re going to win that prize
that’s offered—
Let Mdi one take up the cry—
Honey Grove, cleanest keen in
Texas;
Yea sMi help at. won’t you try ?

THE VICTORY MOMENT
Some people say, takes a bright
and sunny day
To wa^h your troubles and *01-
rows away.
But I feel so blue that I’m afraid
it's not true,
For what i need, dear mother, is
one moment with you.
One moment at home to r<:-Uve
the happy day,
Where love, smiles and good
deeds all hold away;
To eat at your table and ki*s
you goodnight—
I’m sure ’twould be the end of
my troubles all right.
That moment will come and start
into years,
And end in a life-time of glory
and cheer*.
I’m counting the minutes tiii it
all comes true,
That “victory” for me, that Drat
moment with you.
(This poem was written
by Eiland Bowie, who is with
the army of occupation in
Germany, and sent to his
mother on Mother’s Day.)
