The wild earth it is swinging afree

And the wind and the wind it is fol-

And the sunshine and shadow are

And white cloud shafts are pointing

Oh carry me out to the bold deep sky,
Oh blow me away through the blue

And scatter their days as the dew:
For the years and years are but shapes

That are bred in the depths sublime,
And that ride and ride in their fruitless

On the pershing wings Of Time.
Oh carry me out where the starlishts

Where the world stuff pillows and

And fling them adrift on the deeps:
For the worlds and worlds may vanish

And schemes of the universe fall,
Vet will fly to some vast Otherwhere
And hold my domain Over All.

TO BE SOLD TODAY

Beihing-Hn property Goes ON the
Market TO settle Financial Trouble
In Chicago today. all of the property OF
the Beding- Hall Manufacturing Co. is to
be sold to close up the financial difficulty
that has been hanging over the company
for several months past This becomes
necessary from the fact that the matter
had got into the courts and could not be
brought to successful termination IN
any other way.
3. F. Hall informed our reporter re-
Gently that as soon as the sale had been
consummated the newly organized COM
pany would repurchase so much of the
plant as they desired and would soon be
in shape to resume operations After the
prolonged absence of the big pay roll OF
the Belding-Hall Co this announcement
will come as Joyous news to all OF our
citizens. The sale was scheduled to come
off on Tuesday. but on account of some
hitch in the court proceedings il was put
off until today.
From present indications, it will not be
very long before the old familiar sound OF
the various factory whistles will again be
heard in our midst.

The large receiving reservoir which the
city decided to add to the Water Works
plant is now in use and the water which
takers are using, daily comes through it.
The receptacle holds one hundred and
eight thousand gallons with fresh stream
of water pouring into it constantly from
the five wells at depth of more than 90
feet where the source of supply is abso :
lutely pure.
AS the Banner has before stated the
building erected over the reservoir Is a
fine one, the floor. columns and arc.es
being of cement and large enough to
serve as a commodious pavilion wi.ich
our people will appreciate very much.
The tile for the roof has arrived and II
is expected will be put on this week. 1t
might not be out Of place TO mention that
the tile was gift to the city by one Of
our citizens whose modesty precludes the
mention of his name.
The structure will be a substantial one
and not only an ornament TO the park
but one Of great convenience as well.
The board Of water commissioners made
no mistake in building it.
