IS IT WORTH THE RISK

The death plague of the Flu;
Them's a thousand thlnps I'd like to
tell,
' Yet I'll only name a few;
llut I want to nay aome plain, cold
facts
That stun and catch the breath.
And ask you right out. man to man.
Why court the hand of death? .
; I ask you. as I've asked myself.
: And the question's fair and square.
To explain why I and likewise you
Are forced in disease's lair.
To flirt with he who swings his pole
With a line of a thousand hooka.
For the sake of the musty knowledge
of old
That is stored away in books?
Why, friends, my life Is worth ten
times I
' The wealth of all the globe. j
I'd lather have life and fifteen cents j
: Than a college pn xy's robe. !
And you? I reckon, the hide you own ;
Is worth far more than a song.
What I want right now is a word from '
you
To bolster the cause along.
To lose these musty volumes of books
; And nive us duffers a chance
To fii;ht this diseaso with both hands;
free
And W: laugh at circumstance. j
To ship us out of this death like pall, j
And the lurking strike of a knife, i
To give us a chance to hold our own.
For we think too much of life. !

which to base the closing of all PUB

Can one death be rated, conscien
tiously, as insufficient reason for a
radical closing order? Indeed, not.
A careless cough might bring havoc
to an entire community it is, highly
possible that it could kill a hundred
persons; it certainly would initiate a
a nation-wide epidemic. i
Let every possible means of encour
