SOURS ON EUGENE
Once an admirer of Governor Tul*
madge, the editor of The Walton (Ga )
Tribune Iiuh turned critic and in hits
paper last week, regaled his readers
witii tills prose-poem deriding the governor's
preachmehtH against the tripic-A
and reproaching him for exchanging
his widely advertised red
gulluses for silk shirts:
Come, mates, I'll tell a story that
is fresh and hunkadory, although so
sa<l and tragic that it hurts! Eugene,
the brave defender of the (laming led
suspender, has 'abandoned all such
truppings for silk shirts!
ills action leuves me grieving that
a man is so deceiving, that bunk und
bile und hooey are his fluirs; that he
tells the nation's rulers they're a lot
of foppish foolers, while he plays up
to the selfish millionaires.
"Oh, the tax is simply rotten! we
would get much more for cotton, corn
and pinders, plums and maypops were
they free!" thus proclaims this husky
gullant who is long on talking talent,
, who forgets the dark, drear days, of
thirty-three.
Meanwhile in the sundrenched
bleachers stand ten thousand unpaid
! teachers who caiwhank this doughty
| monarch for their plight; wan and
; worn, they stint and borrow, hoping
i for a bright tomorrow when their
, cause will be adjusted, fair and right.
I Thoughtful men and women shud!
der with this wild man at. the rudder,
never knowing what a new day may
| produce; whether Gene will tackle
j Franklin while his illbred ire is rank!
ling or decide to romp on Hitler or 11
Duce.
Often when the night is dreary I
behold a sight that's eerie, a'flaming
rod suspender dangling from a phani
torn arm?then my thoughts grow
cold and callous as 1 recognise the
gallus as the sort thai Eugene fond;
led to work up a false alarm.
Oh, 1 say it's sad*and tragic that
Eugene has lost his magic with the
honest Georgia man with whom lie
llirts; but the farmer's not so simple
as to smash the 3-A temple, and he
knows that Gene is lined up with silk
shirts.
BIGGEST ESTATE IN THE WORLD
It Is in Australia and Is Larger Than
Some European Countries.
What is the world's biggest estate?
The question is prompted by the
news that the Zumoiski estate in Poland
has been reduced by half, the
family having handed roughly over
">0 per cent of the lands to the nation.
Before this was done, the estate was
2,">0.0i?0 acres in extent. Even now, it
is bigger than any estate in Britain.
But the largest estate in the world
is not in Europe at all. You have to
go to Australia If you want to see it.
There you will find the holding of Sir
Sidney Kiddman, famous as the Australian
cattle king.
It is over 39,000 square miles in extent,
larger than Ireland, Austria,
Hungary, or Portugal.?London Answers.
