The World Whirligig

BY PAUL M’CREA Defeat of Smith, reformers say, Should show the world the fight is won— That prohibition’s here to stay, And liquor’s horrid sway is done. So. high upon the templed hills, The pallid temperate banner hoist— But as your heart with rapture thrills. Regard the helpless plea that’s voiced. Despite our conquering crusade, Our righteous arrows deftly sped, We call on Canada for aid To help us whip a foe that’s dead. The world will understand, of course, That we’ve achieved our sacred aim, While lending us its foot and horse To meet the need that we proclaim. A most amazing paradox, The product of a biased view. When blistful blindness vision blocks And tries to prove the untrue true. Oh, what an unconvincing tune, This hymn combining joy and grief. When moral watchdogs bay the moon And call for help to stop tfie thief.

Give Her a

This Christmas give her a REAL gift. The down payment on a wonderful Sen el Electric Refrigerator is no more than the amount you would ordinarily spend on some more or less useless gift. No more payments required until March 1st — after the holiday bills are all paid up—and even then you can take twelve months to complete the payments. A Scrvel is a REAL gift. It means, years of perfect, care-free refrigeration, economy in food protection and wonderful help in preparing every meal of the year. Salads, meats, desserts—all are far more perfect with the aid of a Scrvel. The Servel will help you make Christmas last throughout the year, for many years. P. S. to the Housewife: If you can't be SURE of his buying you the Servel you want, suggest that his Christmas gift be in the form of a cheek for the down payment, and come in and select the model best suited to the needs of your home and your family. The monthly payment terms are very convenient.
