242 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



Ef the tide is runnin' strong, keep 



a pullin'! 

 Ef the wind is blowin' wrong, keep 



a pullin'! 

 'Taint no use to cuss an' swear — 

 Waste your breath, to rip an' tear — 

 Ef it rains or ef its fair, keep 



a pullin'! 



Though it's winter or it's May, keep 



a pullin'! 

 Ef you are in the ring to stay, keep 



a pullin'! 

 Though you can't see e'en a ray. 

 Sun is bound to shine some day; 

 Got to come fore long, your way; keep 



a pullin'! 



When you're sick an' tired, too, keep 



a pullin'! 

 Never 'low you're feelin' blue; keep 



a pullin'! 

 Ain't no good in blamin' fate, 

 'Cause you're workin' hard and late; 

 Better say you feel first rate, and keep 



a pullin'! 



S'pose you haven't got a cent — keep 



a pullin'! 

 Not a red to pay the rent? Keep 



a pullin'! 

 Gettin' "busted" ain't no crime! 

 Gorry 'mighty! That's the time 

 Grit will make a man sublime! Keep 



a pullin'! 



Can't fetch business with a whine; 



keep a pullin'! 

 Grin an' swear you're feelin' fine, an' 



keep a pullin'! 

 Summin' up, my brother, you 

 Hain't no other thing to do; 

 Simply got to pull 'er through! So 



keep a pullin'! 



The President: Is there any further discussion of this paper? 

 If not we will go on with the next, "Getting the Crowd Every 

 Day" by Dr. L. W. Russell of Anamosa. But I discover that Dr. 

 Russell is not here, and in his absence Mr. Rigby will make a few 

 remarks on that same subject. I am sorry Dr. Russell is not here.
