"THE DIGGER."

By "Spectator."

If you want some decent. reading It would be a wise proceeding To take the "Digger" which is published every week; It's a worthy publication, And contains much information, In short it's usefulness is quite unique. Never dreaming of deleeting From reporfc of any meeting, Matters never uttered for the press, Never was a paper bolder, Hitting straight out from the shoulder, Support the thing and make it a success. Our "Returned Association," Launched the novel speculation, And every resident should sympathise With the objects of the paper, And should help to make the caper Worthy of the soldiers' enterprise. Take the Power Board for example, And you'll find that you have ample Proof anent the editorial stress of the crying shame and pity Of conducting in committee Work which should be open to the press. In it's pages, too, he fetches Many interesting sketches — J Well known characters about the street, And upon the city byeway, And along the northern highway He shows the city workmen, with cobwebs on their feet. Pens of able local sages C'ontribute towards its pages Columns pregnant with much studied lore And from country places, diggers Send along such facts and figures As interest the digger folk galore. No matter where they're situated People get infatuated And eager scan the paper when it comes And to state the true position It's become an aquisition To the occupants of town and country homes.
