TO milk and care for and five hundred
ms to look after finds time every
year for an outing; rather, they hire en-
ira help. on the farm and take the time,
and they do not take the time gridg-
iney either. They figure that what the
outing costs IL the best Investment OF
the whole year. They have their own
tent. and camp for "a week or more on
a nearby stream or lake where fishing
and boating are good. "A fairly good
tent can be brought for the price of
weeks board at a summcr resort. and
the tent will last many years. Vacation
does not necessarily spoil Nantucket
Distance sometimes lends a great deal
of enchantmcnt. We forget that the
birds sings just as swecily in our own
fields and groves as they do in fields
and groves hundreds of miles away
Why should we remain shut in during
all the hot summer months just because
we cannot travel far away? If we can
not afford to own a tent. there are even
less expensive ways of camping out"

The Mammoth Catalog.

There may be poets who can sing Of al
most any kind Of thing and whoop it
for budding Spring:
There may be orators who yell and all
their par,y's glorics tell and argue 10
a farc-ye-wel:
There may be authors who can write AL
make the black resemble white and
Ife vision of delight;
But when IL comes to dreaming dreams
and boosting money-making schemes
until philanthrophy 1t seems-Take off
your hat to that sly dog who writes
the mammoth catalog.''
We used to think the circus bills that
filled us full of jumps and thrills
and such excitement to the gils,
That talked about the this or that. the
celebrated women fat. the clowns, the
educated cat,
The masto.lon rhlnoceros, the hydra
headed hornicus. the hairless hip
porotamus,
About the g'ittering parade that put
she Caesars in the shade the high
es, form OF bunk displayed
But one thing puts them on the hog:
The big. mail order catalog.
You1l notice everything therein is good
as gold and cheap as sin. the reader $
ready cash 10 win.
They're splendid" ''high-grade." great
and grand by experts made" or
ARTISTS planned THE best and big
gest in the land
The simplest thing is .''rich' and rare"
and ev'ry blooming thing is there
from doors to artificial hair;
The cheapest substitute is fine the
stuff is all ''of best design and
sold for 49,
For adjectives that will befog.
Consult the mammoth cataloe.''
Ills said the circus poster can declare
its golden caravan the greatest
sight vouchsafed to man;
Ills said "A fisherman can take "a min
now from a tiny lake and from the
same a whale can make:
IT'S said a candidate can stand before
crowd with waving hands and
prove twas he that saved the land;
It's said that Ananias' name is know
10 everlasting famc.-and yet he never
knew the game.
AS does the later. slycr dog
Who writes the "mammoth catalog.''
