THE "RANANA" Torénto Star. g The great charm of "Yes, we have no Lanangs today' is that is doesn't mean anything. ~~ The song itself has coherence, so that when you get the entire setting the efféet is altogether lost, and "Yes we have no bananas' sinks to the ievel of the Carolina Mammy group and the whole range of Homesick Blues. But it is the slogan rather than the song that has caught the fancy of America. Fifty per cont. of the people whe have heard it think it is an advertising motto or the for- pla of a secret benefit society, and the majority of the remaining fifty per cent. could no more repeat the rest of the words than they could repeat the Canadian national an- them. It is the slogan that has sold the millicn odd copies, and from the point of view of delirious inanity the slogan is worthy of Lewis Carroll or Fdward Lear. The capacity for complete inanjty would seem to be the test of a na-- tion's sanity. Certainly a collection of people that go about singing "Yes we have no bananas today" makes a much safer neighbor than a eollec- tion of people that go about singing "Deutschland, Deutschland." The song itself, as Mr. Augustus Bridle pointed out to the writer, is an ingenious adaption of a number of 'old-time favorites. The composer has borrowed largely from "The Bo- hémfan Girl," notably from "I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls," the line "And of 'all who dwelt within thcse walls' corresponding note for note with "I bave 'string'beans and onions." The final line, "Ves, we have no hananas today," is more than reminiscent of the final line of that haunting refrain of a dozen years ago,. "In the shade of the old apple tree." ¢- A local poet and writer commend- ed "Yes, we have no bananas to- day" with the greatest enthusiasm. "I regard it as a really notable piece of work," he said, "because in it you have finally expression un- fettere®t by the demands of intelli- gibility. As a Wberating influence it is as important a contribution to the intellectual life of America as the prose of Gertrude Stein." He said that he preferred not to be quoted, and upon examination confessed that he had never heard anything of "Yes, we have no bananas today' except the last line. Perhaps the most interesting con- tribution to the discussion came from Sir Robert Falconer. "What is your impression of the popular song, "Yes, we have no bananas today?" The Star inquired of Sir Robert. "Popular song?" repeated Sir Rob- ert, "I don"t believe I Know it." Let every man's hope be in him- self. Necessity is a tress.

This is all to the good-- | the more the city knows about the country the better, and vice versa. | Following an article in the Chris-| tian Science Monitor, there comes! another appreciative American refer- ence to this great rural association, which has Canada as {its birthplace, the Woman Citizen of New York, giving it prominent notice. Then our own "Sailor," in its last | issue, quotes at length from the ac- count of the Biennial Convention in Fredericton, which appeared in the Canadian Farmer and ipcident- ally speaks in the most grateful way, of the generosity shown the fund for sailors by the varjous branches of the W. I. At the very successful school fair held at Inverary on Thursday, a number of the Battersea ladies were present and a meeting was called to form a branch of the Woman's Institute, to be known as the Bat- tersea branch. Mrs. A. W. Sirrott. Kingston, was the speaker and the result of the meeting was the for- mation of a branch of twenty-five members with Mrs, Sleeth, one of the first Institute members, as hon- orary president. A meeting wili be called at an early date. to elect offi- cers for the year. tm S---- The Fire-Ranger.
