best gains and finished in a blaze of
glory by cutting through Bushenbarl

Cornell played hard and confident
game at the start. aided by miscue
by Parsons when he attempted to punt

Little 5asques' Responsibilities.

In Children at Play and Other
Sketches" by Rose M. Bradley, we are
introduced to the sunny little Basque
boys and girls, playing hide and seek
games late into the summer nights,
says the London Queen. 1t seems that
the Basque lads have to learn French
twice over: they are taught In school
the first time, but such Is their patrio-
tic independence Tor Is 1t the line OF
least resistanceD that they lose what
they have learned, and the penalty of
this deliberate forgetfulness" Is that
in their conscript days they have the
modification and pain OF learning it
all over againl But, pleasure seekers
as the young natives may be, there
are duties also for even babes to per-
form. 1t may seem incredible that a
little barelegged boy Of 8 or should
be the trusted lamplighter of the dis
trict, yet 30 1t is, and 1t is far more as
founding to read of railway official"
of 4 or s, who may be seen seated
upon minute chair on the platform
grasping red flag, which 1t Is his
business to wave when train ap-
proachos, presumably as warning to
his brethren and the chickens who
play unconcernedly upon the rails. . =.
He feels that the responsibility of the
traffic of the whole line to Bayonne
rests upon his little shoulders"

pieces of Lemon Stream lodge. Mrs.
Schafer, pastor of the church, spoke
words of comfort to the bereayed
ones. The large and beautiful floral
tribute testified to the love and re-
spect he held in the hearts of his rel
atiyes and friends Surely another Of

ward.

Fold thine arms, twin to thy rest"

GuayuIe, the Rubber Plant.

Guayule was for years overlooked
or despised; It's rubber content was
considered of little or no value, and
when at last acknowledged this was
said to be inferior to other rubber be-
cause 1t cid not come from the topics.
Yet in spite Of all guayule has become
an important source Of rubber supply,
millions Of dollars have been invest
ed In the industry, factories have been
erected close to the guayule fields and
towns have grown up for the opera
tiyes and field laborers.
Every process of the production OF
rubber from the plant has been devel
oped into a system; even gathering
the shrub receives more care than at
first; but the essence OF the whole
problem, that Is, the propagation OF
guayule so that a continuous supply
may be assured. Is as yet unsolved,
and If once the land Is completely
cleared and the chances of renawal
lost the industry will wither and die,
and the busy areas of today will be
come depopulated and revert to the
wilderness.
