THE BUTLER HERALD, BUTI.ER, GEORGIA, AUGUST 31, 1933.
MORNING
(Roselyn Prager, Reynolds. Ga.)
When the sun is beginning to rise,
And the hired man goes for the
milk,
While the dew is still on the grass;
And the cotton is soft as silk.
Morning-glories are blooming.
The sky is yellow and pink,
The birds are singing in the trees;
And the daisies want to blink.
The grasses are nodding,
As the sun creeps higher still,
The wind has done his merry pranks;
And the flowers are awake on the
hill.
The roosters are crowing,
To tell us its five o’clock,
And in the hall where the big fern
stands, Sjj|
The big clock says, Ktick-tock.”
But every sunny miirnirjg
Of all the daytime’s pleasure,
Nothing is any nicer, tut
A gift from all my treasures.

N ews of a natto
By SAMUEL COOLICK
(NEW YORK, August 20, 1933.)
IT’S HOW YOU LOOK AT IT
A murder case in the state of Masachusetes gained more
in the newspapers throughout the country than any other “ SP8C »
since the election. The state claimed she poisoned her husband' 6 * 11 "
asked her life. But it isn’t for me to delve into the "Castello C '"S
except in one angle. Mrs. Costjello had a lover who, on the witn* 6 '
stand, bared the illicit love between them. It is this I wish t n6SS
lyze. ° 8na ’
Talking before an open court that is mobbed with spectato
(and especially about a forbidden romance) inquires “godsenf’ co ?
age. Of course a multitude of people will condemn the man for
speaking about such things but aside from this point, it is definite!
shown that it takes what we commonly call “guts” to do a thing f
this sort. 80
Many friends of mine think that a person who “kisses and tells”
is cad. On that ground I wholeheartedly agree with them. u u t
when a man is under oath to tell the whole truth then cnaracter
counts a great deal. The average man when taking the oath does
so with an uplifted eye resembling a wink. (That’s why I head this
paragraph. “It’s how you look at* it.”)
* * * *
THE SITUATION IN CUBA:—
History has been made in the beautiful country of Cuba during
the past 30 days for the old government has been overthrown and g
new faction given power. But a very significant thing occurred.
When Machado exiled president of Cuba, reached the Bahamas he
deposited over $2,000,000 in United States currency with the banks
there. Evidently he had been expecting to leave and made ample pro.
visions for this occasion. What really is NEWS is a rumor that the
National City Bank in New York financed the Machado regime. We
have read of such fiction in the various magazines but now it comes
out that several men had a lot to say about the conditions down
there. No doubt it’s true and the government should do something
to punish these meddlers. But when money and influence is used even
the old l&dy knows as justice gets a sty in her eye and can’t see i
thing
HOW DRY (?) I AM.
A news dispatch from California relates how two Japanese col.
lege boys were witnessing their first ball game and when the band
played “How Dry I Ani” the two students arose and took off their
hats. When asked why they did such a peculiar thing the students
replied, “We thought it was the national anthem."
This really has its serious thoughts as well as the funny side.
This country has wallowed in the filthy stench that prohibition ha*
brought about, for the past 20 years. Billions of dollars have gone
from its rightful place in the treasury into the hands of killing
gangsters who took over the “liquor racket.” Murders, vice and
kidnaping have been the results. Now over 22 states have ratified
the repeal bill leaving a dozen states left to do away with a law
that has been a black mark on the governmental constitution. I note
where Georgia hasn’t even begun to think of “taking legislation ac
tion" as yet. Why is it you people are so hypocritical. You
make liquor there—it can be gotten in every town . . . your state
officials, from Gov. Talmadge down, drink. Get them to swear in
any church that the don’t and if they are honest with themselves
they’ll admit it. But it isn’t a shame for a man to “indulge." The
Good Book says “a little wine for your stomach’s sake” and no old
battlewom mollysoddles has a right to meddle with this advice.
- Last year when the Democratic candidates at the presidential
convention assembled, they saw huge posters saying the following:
“Vote for Roosevelt"—“Georgia his summer home”—“Dixie wants
F. D.”—etc. etc. Franklin D. Roosevejt was nominated and inciden
tally elected by a 20,000,000'majority, the largest popular vote ever
given a candidate. Upon his assumption to office, he said, “the
party and I pledge the immediate repeal of the 18th amendment"—
Now Georgia, his summer home (note the sarcasm) is one of the
states that stands in the way of the fulfillment of the president’s
wishes. Well the two Japanese students were right, in a way, when
they thought the song “How Dry I Am” was our national anthem
for from every quarter of the land comes the cry "we want repeal”
until its a mighty cresendo of sound And between you and me broth
er, you know well enough a glass of beer,—real cold rich foaming
beer, would be heaven to you right now. Well I can get it and you!
—oh sure “Joja is dry” (?) So is a camel often seven days.

INNERMOST THOUGHTS EXPOSED TO VIEW
I’ve often wondered what to do. J,
As far as you’re concerned my dear.
For only you can make nie blue
And have me pray that you were near
A sage once said that love was blind,
I doubt if that’s my trouble.
For I never yet have lost my mind,
Except in this romantic bubble.
I hope that it will never burst,
Or I shall be forever curst,
And when the time shall come for me,
’Twill have lived eternally, in my memory.
* * *
As we go through the road of life, many things happen to us -
Sometimes we come to the crossroads and unless the right path is
taken we can go on for miles never getting on- the right highway.
We have to detour, avoid blind alleys and just keep going, some “
us picking up a mate to aid us on the trip but all of us start aa
finish off in the same way. It is this "driving” business that count!
on life’s highway . . . funny. I don’t know what gave me the m
of life as a roadway . . . but the idea is very logical . • • rea
wonder how most of us feel when good friends of ours pass
... I miss mine and after a while the "missing" goes and the on
ly thing I’ve got left is but a fond memory.
* * * *
No doubt many of my readers would like to come to New YoA
and see some of the things that makes the “Bagdad of the u
son” so marvelously mysterious. . . . May I suggest, there °i
that you read O. Henry’s work . . . It’s startling to think how
man, a Dixie bom southerner, so absorbed New'York life • • •
you its amazing. Many times have I walked along the wate. L j s
watching the different ships coming in and out . . . And T A ^
a siluetted sight that should grip you, who have never seen
sea . . . All around you is Manhattan's skyscraper skyline • ^
buildings that loom up over 600 feet from the ground . • •
ually millions of electric bulbs twinkle and wink at you . • •
head, the stars gaze down upon the harbor while against the
skies, the full moon smiles down laxilly on the lovers who
the boats leave . . . And as the waves wash against the P ,e *
really find out that this cynical cosmopolitan city has a hea •
You’ll feel like shouting out to the entire world that such a ^
has been found . . .-It isn’t in j Broadway night clubs or Fal ,,
apartments that one will find relaxation and a heartfelt pe ^ ^
but along the wharves, like the song refrain, you’ll chant—-
the waterfront and I’m watching the sea—for the one I 0
soon come back to me.”
* * * • * rca U
Life is but what we make it so make it worthwhile h>
doing things that will live in your thoughts . . . f° r
tears and tears are usually a sign of unhappiness . • • ^
“you're living" i’ll be writing you again . . . until then,
