Library Findings...

I am doing a History paper on, "How the traditions of Farmers and Agriculture affected the people, education and culture of Rexburg, Idaho from 1900-1930".
So, anyways, I have spent some time looking at old newspapers from that time period on microfilms in the library.
Have not found much yet (mostly because it gives you head aches and I always stop)
But, I found this. Thought it was fun. =]

The girl named Ida Ho

For her I'd leave -- Virginia,

        I'd leave my Mary Land

I'd part with Mrs. Sippi

        The widow fair and bland,

I'd leave my Louisa Anna

        And other Anna, too,

I'd big farewell to Georgia,

        Though Georgia would be true.

I'd part with Minnie Sota

        I'd part from Della Ware,

I'd leave brunette Miss Souri

        The Carolina pair.

These women are all lovely

        True hearted girls, I know.

But I'd give them all the goby

        And Cleave to Ida Ho.

I like her breezy manners

        I like her honest ways

I like her in the moonlight

        I like her sunny days

Goodbye, my own Virginia

        And other girls I know,

I'm hanging round the gatepost

        Of a girl named Ida Ho

                                -Para Pailadium
