Tho vacant lot scrntchcr
Potato bug catcher
Is wholly uncivil and caddish
Who puts on airs painful
And lofty disdainful
On picking his first April radish
Wo hope In his garden
His arteries harden
And bring him to feeble naddrab age
If round ho comes bragging
As evidence dragging
An early precocious young cabbage
If thcro is a person
Weve learned to hato worsen
A boll or a toothache or felon
Its one who looks knowing
Superior showing
An immature punky muskmelon

Tin TYPICAL AMEEIOAN
Wha is a typical Ameriian like
Lately there has been much loose talk
everywhere about American an
unAmerican and typical Ameri
cans and so wo becarao curious to
find out what some of Uic peoplo meant
by their superlatives and strong statementsOne said that a typical American
was illustrated best by a sory an old
friend had told him This old friend
had a son who went out and bought a
hor < e at first he thought the horso was
a good buy but later he became convinced
that he hnd been stung in
buying tho horse
Sorrowfully he told his father about
it and this is what his father said
Well what of itt Youre a pretty
fair judge of horses aint youf
The son admitted he thought he was
Then if you could get stung on
that horse whats going to prevent you
from trading him to someone else who
doesnt know as much about horses as
you do
This story was told as an oxamplc
of the spirit of a typical American
One who is able to akc cate of himself
ono who when 6tung on a
trade is capagle of and willing to
turn around and sting someone elso
to get even
Others have given definitions of
much the same kind and sinco these
opinions now nnd then get into print
we want to tell you what wu consider
the typical American
The man who to us typifies tho real
American spirit is one who if he docs
get stung will take his loss like a
man without whimpering and without
any idea of parsing the los on to sonic
one else by misrepresentation Neither
will he take any unfair advantage of
his fellow man
In short he Is a good sportsman he
plays the game in a fair way ho doesnt
mind being beaten now nnd then If it
is done on the aquarc Ho will use
overy honorablo means to win but when
he has woa and his competitor is down
then ho is ready to extend n helping
hand if need be The Slug Lino
graph Co of Davenport Iowa
Tho most popular explanation of tho
origin of tho expression Everything is
lovely and the goose hangs high is
this That it comes from the Southern
country amusement known as goose
pulling A goose Its neck carefully
plucked and well greased Has hung by
its feet to a branch of n tree Tho men
would ride past at a gallop trying to
catch it by tho neck and pull its head
off The bettor tho goose was in dodging
the greater tho fun When tho
goose hung high so that tho competitors
had to stand in their stlrrnps to
grasp at It the joy was greatest Another
suggested origin is that it refers
to the fact that wild geoso fly In clear
weather this explanation would change
