Back to the Farm.

BACK TO Iue fdTms
Back to the farm
Where the bob-white is calling
AS In remembering dawnings wher
youth and / were boys,
Driving the cattle where the mead
ow brook is brawling
Her immortal wanderings, fears and
joys!
Home to the farm for the deep green
Gains of summer,
waving grain
Leaving the painted world of mas
querade and hummer
Just for the sense OF earth and
ripening again.
Down in the bayfield, where scythes
CLINT through the clover;
Lusty blood a-throbbing in the
splendor of the moon
Lying mid the haycocks as casting
clouds pass over,
Hearing insect lovers a-piping out
OF tune.
Of to the wood lot where brier bloom
runs riot
And wary forest creatures no hunt
er's snare deceives.
Virgin growth beguiling the solemn
hearted quiet
With songs of winter fires a-ripple
through the leaves.
Out in the dews with the spider at
his shuttle
In that half-dreaming hour that
awakes the whippoorwill
And sets the nighthawk darting sin
ster and subtle,
Fer the full moon complacent lott
ers DER the hill.
Back to the farm!
With the friendly brute for neigh
Dor,
Where youth and Nature beckon, the
tryst who would not keep?
Back to the luxury of rest that
follows labor.
Back to the primal joys of hunger and
sleep!

1t Is Certainly Somebody's Move

Within the past month some half
million or more American citizens
have read a terrible story that has
been printed about Judge Peter 3.
Grosscup OF the United States circuit
court
The story, which has been printed
in installments, marshals an array OF
charges ranging all the way from
nasty village gossip and scandal to
documents (hitherto unpublished
from the files OF the government at
Washington.
These charges. involving as they
do misconduct as a man and miscon-
duct as a Judge, are either true or
they are false.
Judge Grosscup. so far as can be
learned. has taken no steps In the
matter.
The government at Washington vas
done nothing.
The United States district attorney
and the federal grand jury seem to
have done nothing.
