Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 214, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 September 1919 — “THE BLUES.” [ARTICLE]

“THE BLUES.”

Sahelva subject, but I know something about the blues. Everybody does, only somepeople won’t expose you when they have them. The blues are a menace. The blues are just as contagious as enthusiasm, only a person nursing the blues should be quarantined. Some day people will realize that the good things in life are really the. most contagious. Just expose yourself to the bright side and the blues won’t get you. The shortest poem ever copyrighted was entitled “The Blues.” It runs: - Hadem. There was reason for Adam to have the’ blues. There was but one woman and he had no car, no Vesta battery. Demand these blue-less luxuries before you follow Adam. — Hugh Kirk.
