A New Question

Keep a backyard hennery, proclaims the Agricultural
Department, or you'll pay high for eggs during the
entire war.

Keep a pig, advise the food administrators of the west,
and in southern California they're actually making lists
of householders who haven't a pig.

Backyard garden, backyard hennery and backyard stye.
"Why are boys leaving the farms for the city?" Gosh! Why
are farms leaving for the city?

Good Evening -- At this time last year a good many
people reported that their coal was slack.

For Your Scrapbook

A Bromide

A pretty face, a hidden place,
A moon that shines above;
A fond caress, a whispered yes --
And that is love.

A little while to weep and smile,
A little storm and strife;
A little gain, a lot of pain,
And that is life.

A little den, a fountain pen,
Of ideas, not a jot;
And that, I wis, makes verse like this --
And that is rot!

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
