The Fox and the Hare.
Detroit Free Press.


"A fox who was making his way
among the hills espied and gave chase
to hare, who eluded pursuit by div
ing into burrow after short run.
Realizing that he could not dig her
out, and that waiting for her to emerge
would not bring his dinner, Reynard
began in his oiliest tones:
"My dear Mrs. Hare, trust that
the young hares are we'll and happy"

the mother hare.

"That foxes prefer hares to any
other meat" finished Reynard as he
snapped her up.

The Kent Journal sizes up the hop
situation this year as follows: The
hop situation is bad, in fact worse
than it has ever been in the history OF
its production. Prices have been low
before, perhaps as low az at the pres
sent time, but there was always hope
in the future, but at present growers
and dealers unite in saying that there
is no hope for improvement and the
sooner our growers realizs the fact
and get out of the business the better
it will be for them. Too many have
already been made bankrupt by try
ing to hold on and continue tile bust

the trick by passing the coin into the

Ny chosen state, to thee
Cleft by the Opal Sea,

Land of the emerald ferns,
Land where the sunset burns
To thee my heart e'er turns,
With thee wait.
When sunset fires thy peaks.

But when the night is done,
Rays Of soft color run
Up from the rising sun
Flashing-"Go Good cheer"
Thy future shall be grand,
Arise and take thy stand
Strong, proud and free!
In the worlds march, keep tread
Where truths white star has led,
Let no hard word be said,
Ever OF thee!
All thy mistakes are past.
Lift up thy head at last
Smile thro' thy tears!
Thy darkest hour is gone,
Hail, hail the golden dawn
Press on, and on, and on
