SAY IT WITH BOOKS
When old Jake Bones was lying ill,
when he in convalescence pined, in
his lone cottage on the hill, the neigh-
bors were exceeding kind. They took
him flowers of every hue, of every
size and every scent; I saw them plod-
ding through the dew as to that
stricken wight they went. "How good
folks are,” I often said, as I observed
them on their way; “they take him
garlands bright and gay. They wish
to cheer the heavy hours that he must
pass in yonder shack; but Jake, he
doesn’t care for flowers, they give
him fantods in his back. If he could
Voil them with corn beef or serve
^hem with spinach greens, they might
assuage the dole and grief his drawn
out siege of sickness means. But roses
are not fit for stew and lilies make
a ghastly dish, and so old Jake, no
doubt, is. blue, ods bodkins and eke
ods fish. I too, would cheer his dis-
mal days, when he has gout and flu
and mumps; what can I take him that
will raise his spirits from the dole-
ful dumps? I looked around upon my
books, and they inspired some help-
ful deeds; I said, “These tales of
sleuths and crooks are what a weary
man needs," I took a bunch of them
to Jake, and said, “These books
should comfort bring, no uplift effort
do they make; no useful morals dc
they spring. They’re simply trash and
tommyrot with murders thick as burs
in hay, but when a man’s stretched
on his cot, they’ll help to pass the
hours away.” Old Jake, he simply
wept with joy, and took an anti-bil-
ious pill; he said, “You are a bully
boy, and I will name you in my will.—
Walt Mason.

Congressman Connally advocated
industrial mobilization in the event
of another war. “Munition plants and
industry,” he said, “must be drafted
for military duty just as men were
drafted in the last war. JProfit must
be taken out of war.”
Closing his address he added:
“You saved democracy for the
world. You must now save democracy
for ourselves. It must be saved from
radicalism and from reaction. It must
be saved from the tyranny of a Lenine
and the despotism of a Mussolini—
only the people themselves can saw
it. In that contest, former soldiers
can render valiant service.”
