FOR THE AVIS SPACE CORNER Sépt. 3rd 1920 Enough, enough of that rubbish stuff That fills the Herald’s ‘‘bright corner,”’ This . public will not be intruded upon Who thinks so will so ne "'a gonna” Now Barrow has lost and he knows he has lost o So he’s resorted to sarcasms and slander For Brandt is right and has got him in tight So quit Barrow or you'll soon have to wander. _Now Brandt is more a priest than he For he’s taken his slaps without anger, But poor Barrow though he tried, he could not decide : To withstand the temptation any longer. So he’s conferred a degree (but this ; public can see) And Brandt is ‘'Professor of Asses”’ But we know the true ass, though in lion’s garb : From his bray and the way his head tosses. ' : ' So allow me to say, [on this very day] The *‘Bright Corner’’ is dull with none- *. sense, : For none knows it "fall, whether great or small o And to some other Barrow bows in obey- - sance. ! So remember dear harrow when kick- ing your dust # , That young Brandt s, a boy we are proud of, & He’s defended his sown, and he still holds his ground. So such slahder we’Jl not any more have ; PEBECO. TELEG%AMS “ST. CROIX STA LION.
