LAW MAKER’S TRIBUTE TO
THE COUNTRY EDITOR
Harold G. Kissinger of the
Illinois general assembly is a
friend of the country newspa
per editor. In debate recently
he had this to say:
There is no one nearer the
people in the rural communi
ties of our state ajid in our
smaller towns and cities than
the country editors. They pro
\ tect the interests of their citi
zens. They boost the town they
live in. They contribute time
and energy and money to the
upbuilding of their home com
munities. This nation needs our
small towns and cities. They
are the foundation of our pros
perity and civilization.They are
what the fewr great cities live
off of. They are the strong fun
damental structure upon which
we must build our business
prosperity and stable business.
Former Ambassador Tryce, a
great English economist, said
that the menace to America
was her great cities, and that
the stability of the American
government and the future of
American civilization rested
upon her small cities and towns
and rural communities. If we
wrant to protect and upbuild
the country community, let us
vote in favor of the country
editor, for they are among the
staunchest, truest, hard-work
ing friends of all the good in
stitutions we have throughout
the state.”

Influenza
"Mgap
“Granny” Cliaraberlain
“ No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering
it causes or how it defies treatment. I know of nothing that will
give such prompt relief as Chamberfains Cough Remedy, for
when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the lever sub
sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable.
Then again, the after effects of Influenza are often even more
distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if
you use
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Though the greatest danger from this disease is Pneumonia,
I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when
Chamberiain s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent
cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by
Chamberlain s Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to
run on until it becomes troublesome.”

Ole Mammy Ann
Mammy Ann lived here way fo de war.
She uster b’long to my pa’s pa
She nussed my pa an’ loved him so
When the war was done she wouldn’t go,
Butl ived right on like she alius did;
An’ then by an’ by she nussed pa’s kid.
O’ course she’s old and wrinkled an’ black.
An’ sometimes rheumatiz gits in her back,
But Mammy Ann’s got the nicest face.
An’ Mammy Ann’s house’s got a big fireplace;
An’ back in a corner almost hid
Is a funny black pot an’ a skillet an’ lid,
An‘ what she cooks in ’em I’m willin’ to bet
Is better’n anything you ever et.
Sometimes ’bout dinner time o’ day
I go to her house, an’ than I say:
“Mammy Ann, tell me, I wish you would,
What’s in that pot ’at smells so good.”
An’ she makes like she’s mad an’ says:
Goodness me!
Yo’ jes fo’ de wurl lak yo’ pa uster be.
Alius honghy! The good land knows!
Yo’ mus’ be holler clean to yo’ toes.”
An’ she’ll get a plate an’ uncover the pot
An’ dish out some turnip greens steamin’ hot,
An’ she’ll go to the skillet and lift up the lid
An’ bring me a big hunk o’ plain corn bread.
An’ when she pokes the ashes about
Punkin yam potatoes come tumblin’ out
With candy on ’em all sticky and sweet,
An’ she gives me two or three o’ them to eat;
An’ she says, “Now eat! an’ don’ yo’ stop
Till yo’ gits full clean up to the top.
Beatenes’ chile I ever did see,
Jes fo’ de wurl lak his pa uster be.”
An’ I eat an’ eat as long as I can
An’ wisht every boy had a Mammy Ann.
