| Transcript | HOME and COUNTRY GORDON NIELSON Ferentosh West W. I. A Husband's Impression Of The W. I. Day The W. I. did meet today, To plan their work and make it pay. Before • it starts there's lots of talk Of weather and frost and lack of crop. And also the sale was out of luck For now it's harder to make a buck. The price of beef is out of line, And the price of pigs is on a decline. Thess discussed, they decided to meet. In the hostess's front room, which is clean arid neat. The lounge and the chairs are carefully brushed To fool those keen eyes that are looking. dust. " O Canada" first, and then comes the creed, Their corsets are loosened and their voices are freed. The babble arises; they all talk at once, Try figuring it out, you'll feel like- a dunce. Reports are read out with a semblance of order, " Oh, I must go home and feed our poor boarder."
