Famous Last Words "I'll let you know If there's an opening." W.J.P. Lyrics Of Life THE WORLD Small was her circle, poor her lot, And yet it seemed she quite forgot How limited her life, how small Her consequence, compared with all. She knew that each could fill with grace Even a very little place. And so she gave a child a smile, A traveler a seat awhile, To do some simple service chose, And even brought the dead a rose, And never thought the world immense, Herself of little consequence. This was her world, as great to her As any gray geographer Beheld whose fingers twirled a globe, Or king who stained a royal robe With failure, he who might have served The stretching kingdom he observed.

And so she lived, and died, and slept Within the little world she kept So kind, so beautiful, so fair. Because she knew her world was there. Ah, there are many worlds within The world and how has your world been? (Copyright, 1933, by Douglas Malloch) Tomorrow: We're Going Back. Editors Mail Box Fredonia, Feb. 18, 1933.

READ YOUR OLD FAVORITES IN THIS POETRY BOOKLET This collection of the favorite poems of America was made by no authors or experts, but by the American people themselves. A nation-wide vote was taken to determine which are the favorite poems of the largest number of people. This booklet is the result. The old-time poems predominate, favorites from Longfellow, Tennyson, Bryant, and other leading songsters of all time. There are some of the newer poems, including Kilmer, Kipling, McRae, and others of our time.

Name Street City State Tuesday, February 21, 1933 'A THOUGHT FOR TODAY Ye shall walk In all the ways which the Ixwrd your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may pro long1 your days in the land which ye shall possess. Deuteronomy 5:33. Obedience is the Christian's crown. Schiller. It Is Up To The States The proposed twenty-first amendment pass ed by congress and which will redound to the credit of Senator John J.

Blaine, is free from any national interference such as was com plained of in the senate. The senate judiciary committee desired to have incorporated a clause where Congress would have concurrent power to regulate or prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors to be drunk on the premises where sold. This section, if allowed to stand, would have been as detestable as the present eighteenth amend ment. That, however, has been eliminated, and in the form approved by Congress yester day the proposed twenty-first amendment reads: "Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

"Section 2. The transportation or importation into any state, territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited. "Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the constitution by convention in the several states, as provided in the constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by congress." When the Eighteenth amendment was first made a part of the federal constitution we ob jected to it, and all during these years we have fought to have it changed. Congress, domin ated by the drys under a Harding, a doolidge and a Hoover administration could not be changed.

However, year by year there wTas a gradual increase in the number of votes for modification and repeal, and now in the closing hours of the Hoover administration more than two-thirds of the votes in both the senate and 1 nouse 01 representatives nave Deen cast in favor of a change. This doesn't mean that repeal has been achieved, or that the proposed twenty-first amendment has the approval of a sufficient number of states to make it operative. It does mean, however, that constitutional conventions will be held in 48 states to approve or disapprove of the amendment which is now ready for submission to the several states. A dry campaign will be waged, a vigorous one, to se cure at least 13 states where the people will dis approve of the new amendment. We do not believe that any state in the Union, if the true facts are known, will be willing to longer sub scribe to the Eighteenth amendment, which has been not only a big factor in prolonging the depression, but which has been a breeder of disrespect for law and has broken down the morale of enforcement officers throughout the united States.

Last night. in the assembly, Assemblyman jercme box introduced an administration bill aimed to set up the necessary machinery for calling a state convention to ratify the amend ment repealing the Eighteenth amendment. At the same time the Senate accented the Reis bill, drawn by U. S. Senator Blaine.

We hope that the law-making bodies of the state, both the assembly and the senate, will get both whipped into a law so that an election can be held this coming April with the idea of electing the necessary delegates to a constitutional convention. The machinery which is to be set up by the state will give every voter an opportunity to know how the candidates stand, for each candidate will have to designate whether he is for or against repeal. This is the only fair and honest way. Men may run for office and with no declaration the people of Wisconsin might be deceived into supporting a wet or a dry. This objection is done away with by the proposal that ech can- ffacEes oS asoSSnae: eouOGO didate stand upon a platform pledged either for or against That is the attitude that we want the legislature to assume so that there will be no more of this attempt to hoodwink the general public.

The liberals will know those who are for repealing the Eighteenth amendment and the drys will have like informa tion. Let us go to bat with a clear cut issue for or against. In the debate at Fond du Lac under date of May 18, 1929, between the Rev. Robert Gordon, pastor of the First Baptist Church at Fond du Lac, and C. E.

Broughton, editor of The Sheboygan Press, we drove home this salient point which is the crux of the whole situation and has a special significance today: "Prohibition has failed because the drastic prohibitionist has never offered a constructive argument, but holds to the viewpoint of rule or ruin by a method of force. I contend, Mr. Chairman, that the solution of this problem is the change of a law that breeds disrespect, and a return to the early guarantees of the Constitution, states rights, with each state having authority to govern its own people. The state of Wisconsin can solve its own problems, and ought to have that right. We should not mix in the affairs of neighboring states.

If Wisconsin wants good, wholesome beer, it ought to have the right to say so, without national interference, or interference from other states. Let the government recognize the principles of states' rights, and we will emerge from a hard liquor drinking nation to one ofsobriety and with the popular backing of the masses, the evils of the saloon, and its greater evil prohibition, will be solved." Side Glances" By Clark "Xow, you know you're not to interrupt father when he's in his study." III fu fl, Pm fFK.

Every time a man wearing squeaky shoe3 goes into church and after he sits down he has to sneeze. One of the regret table things that comes to pass in this country is that the moment you kick a fool he becomes a public martyr. Ragson Tatters of Brushville says after living with Sary Jane for forty years stickup nen dont hold forth any terrors. A spendthrift is one who spends his money. A tightwad is one who saves it for somebody else to spend.

Our idea of wasted effort: The broadcasting of tunes played on a mouth-organ. Nearly everything about the World war has been settled except who started it and who won it Matrimony is -the only lottery in which both a man and a woman can get a good stinging. The evangelist is the only business man who can bawl his customers out and get away with it. To get any real enjoyment out of life we have to be miserable occasionally.

A little Sheboygan girl returning from a visit to the barber's, and referring to his use of the electric clipper on her, remarked to her mother: "I know my neck was dirty, -'cause he used the vacuum cleaner on it" A blonde is a cross between a brunette and a drug store. A health organization speaks of "the germs which cling to money." Wish the germs would tip us off on now they manage to do it. The worker who refuses to follow the union rules is called a scab.

In the presence of a pretty woman all men are scabs. The old lady came out of a half doze as the train approached a station. Old Lady Where are we Bobby? Bobby I don't know, grandma, the conductor just stuck his head inside the door and sneezed. Old Lady Bobby, quick, help me with these things! This is Oshkosh! Pepsin is made from the stomachs of hogs. And it's used to aid digestion of folks who have made hogs of themselves.

The enthusiastic young college graduate entered the office of the first big firm he found. College Graduate What sort of a chance Is there for a young fellow beginning at the bottom to work his way up? Manager Not much chance here. We re contrac tors for digging oil wells. It isn't what a woman puts on her face, but what she puts on her table that holds her husband's love and admiration. "There's one advantage In being poor," declared old Ragson Tatters from Brushville.

"The poor man is never in any danger of losing his fortune." Someone asks the question: "What would you do if your doctor told vou that vou had but six months to live We'd see another doctor. Dear Colyum: Is kissing really and truly danger ous? A Demure DamseL Answer, A. D. D. Kissing may not be sanitary, but no modern girl does it for her health! A Sheboygan man asks: "What has become of the man who used to pick his teeth with a goose quill? No doubt he has false teeth by this time and uses a scrubbing brush.
