the solitaires in St Vincent were de-
stroyed, and the few that escaped were
driven to seek shelter in the low-lying
woods of the island. At first il was
feared they had been exterminated, but in
short while their mysterious singing
was heard again among the ruins Of the
scorched and blackened hill country. With
the persistence OF most wild creatures, the
survivors had returned to their old haunts,
and it is likely that in a few years the
Soufriere birds will be as numerous In
ST. Vincent as before the eruption.

One of whom that l can look upon with

Then we'd pluck the flowers of gladness,
And pass by the thOrns of sadness,
As together we would travel side by

And could write a book of poems
On a future that is waiting US afar.
Our home it would be eozy,
And we'd live for one another
Till the angels hold the pearly gates

If you know some good kind fellow,
Whose heart and home are empty,
And you think that he would love a lit

Tell him now to send a letter
And we'll try and get acquainted,
Then We'll plan to have happy welded

Appeal by a Convict.

Harry Green, a convict in the Montana
state penitentiary, recently wrote Mr..
Newhouse asking that in the goodness
of his heart he take a hair-braided horse
bride off his hands and rattle it in Salt
Lake.
On the heels of this request came a
letter from a local airship promoter ask
ing him to finance an airship line be-
tween San Francisco and Denver, with
a station on top of the Newhouse build
ing in Sa1c Lake as a stopping-off place.
In New York City Mr.. Newhouse has
a persistent client-a woman who writes
in a fine angular hand-WhO writes daily
letters and even sends long kilograms
asking him to assist her financially. The
following is one of hey effusions:
Dear Mr. Newhouse: Those I have

Chicago.-"Never indulge in loud
talking in the presence of the cow"
This is not maxim copied from
textbook on polite behavior. 1t is, on
the contrary, the import Of just one OF
set of eXacting regulations which 49,
600 milk producing farmers within $50
miles of Chicago are to be required to
post on their barn doors by order of
the Chicago health department
The rules are printed on stout linen
cloth calculated to defy wear and
weather. Mailing them on the barn
door is only the first requirement of the
health departments order. Thereafter
they are to be obeyed Inspectors from
Chicago will call around to see how
the farmer is succeeding and on the
bottom of the cloth poster there will
be marked in indelible ink the score"
which the dairyman has reached
There the score will stand, where
neighbors and customers may look at
it, until the inspector calls again and
adds another percentage mark that
will boost or lower the farmers stand
ing in the community.
The import of all of which is that
the Chicago health department means
business, and farmers in Illinois, Wis
consin, Indiana and Michigan who
have dealings with the city are finding
it out.
That 1900 of the 5000 dealers in
Chicago are obeying the city ordinance
which requires the safeguarding Of
milk against tuberculosis contamina-
ton either by pasteurization or
through tuberculin tests was an
nounced the othcr day by Health Com
missioner w. A. Evans
That means that only 100 are not
complying with the ordinance" said
DR.. Evans. Fifty of that 100 will be
made to comply within a week. TWEEN
ty-tive more will be brought in line
within another week. BY that time
the number of law violators will be
pretty small, and we shall exhaust the
means of the department to make 1t
negligible quality"
