Springs Singing.


Spring once more is here
Joyous, sweet. and clear
Singing down the leafless aSles
TO the budding year.
Her chanting is the thrush
Through the twilight hush.
And the silver tongues OF waters
Where the willows blush:
Stir of lifting heads
over violet beds;
Piping of the first glad robin
Through the green's and reds:
Croak of sullen crows
When the south wind blows
Signing in the shaggy spruces
Wet with melted SHOWS:
Whisper of the rain
Down the hill again,
And the heavy feet of waters
Tramping nG the plain.
Now the Goddess Spring
Makes the woodlands ring
Bringing with hundred voices
JOY to everything.
Lloyd Roberts in Appletons for April
A Srrinetime Wish.
O, to be a robin
In the Spring.
When the feeting days of April
Are awning,
j nd the air is sweet with knowing
Where the hidden buds ar, growing.
And the merry winds are going
Wandering.
o. to be a robin
With q nest
Built upon the budding branches
East or West.
ITst to swing and sway and danGle
Ear from earth ard all its tangl".
Joining in the gay bird ianale
With zeSt
@. to he a robin
Just TO sing
Not TO have the pain of hating
Anything
just TO race the foremost swallow
over hill and over hollow
Ard the JOY of life to follow
Through the Spring.

If Maine. the national government is
making unusual efforts this year in
restocking. Millions of tiny cod eggs
are being collected daily by the fish
commission steamer Gannett and de-
0osi,ed in the hatchery at Boothbay.
Sine" the government began to take
IN active part in the propagation of
the cod. the fishermen have been max
ing better fares and the fish are now
more plentiful than they have been
for Il great many years. Much credit
for the present satisfactory condition
is due the fishermen. who are CO.
opcratin. with the government in the
work. realizing that il is of great
benefit 70 them. Although much Of the
Ianrett's time is devoted to the inter-

neglected Plenty of seed Holsters are
being secured and these are treated N
the same way a. the cod eggs.
