On the Farm.

Now for the early morning meal.
Oh, dear; oh, dear!
This early rising makes one feel
So very queer.
But in the country one must keep
The customs planted long and deep,
And, after all, one cannot sleep
While living here.
For II the ROSTERS do not crow
At 4 a. m.
The cattle will begin TO low
No stopping them.
The birds will twitter. shrek and fight
The very moment that it's light.
And dogs Will wildly bark and bite.
Though you condemn.
Oh. yes. you'd better rising be,
To fields and flowers.
Since Natures mighty family
Loves early hours.
Seek out the h!llside's messy Drinks.
Seek out the roses and the pinks.
And-later on-take forty winkss'
TO aSd your powers.

H USE OF N
Question as 10 How a Certain $50, 900
May Be Applied by City.

City Controller Johnson will obtain an
opinion from the city attorney regarding
the use of the $4,000 paid to the city by the
Indianapolis Street-railway Company for
the park funds. The Park Board claims
this fund is specific, and cannot be used
for any other purpose than for park i'm
provements. The board claims that should
the money not be used one year the bal
ance will be carried over until the next
year TO the credit of the park funds. The
Park Board also holds that the money de-
rived from privileges at the parks belongs
to the park fund, and it is not necessary
for the Council TO provide for the expendi-
ture of such money by an appropriation.
City Controller Johnson contends the mon
ey must be appropriated by the Council,
and will secure an opinion on the subject.
