The lofty spirit of our forefathers
no doubt prompted them to swing
the Quakers alo^t.
Only three days left in 1921, but
plenty of time for drawing up all
the New Year's resolutions that
are needed. »

Less than half the members of
the New York state legislature ever
completed common school educa

In the com belt the farmers are
burning their com for fHel because
its market value is negligible, and
meanwhile millions of good Ameri

SOLOMON OUTCLASSED
Some folks have all the luck —
•take Peck McSwain, for instance.
Peck, as everybody knows, is the
versatile poet, humorist and type
slinger on the Portland Canal News
and is the recipient of the most
glorious gift—a mackinaw that has
•the “coat of many colors,” worn by
Joseph, of Biblical fame, baekfd
plumb off of the scenery. When
Peck parades down fifth Avenue
•in this aliment the residents of
Stewart stampede fur their .colored
glasses, five dogs teat if for the
bush and Old Sol says to himself:
“Oh shucks! What’s the use?” end
sink - behind the sue w - he- d i a m or ed
hills. King Solomon, in his day,
was supposed to be somewhat of a
sport when it came to dolling up
in glad rags, hyt even he, in all his
glory, was never arrayed as the in
imitibie Peck. Nothing ever made
by man can compare with this
wonder of womanly handicraft, un
less it be the d tzzling kaleidoscope
which used to excite ou* childish
wonder 40 w 50 years ago. When
we meditate upon out- neighbor’s
good fortune, a wave of irrepressi
ble envy sur jes through our ample
bosom. Cut though we cannot re
strain our sobs, we nevertheless
must manner: “Congratulations,
Old Chap!"
