Mr., and Mrs. Lovett will re-

Now that the almanac man hit
it on this last storm, / am wond-
ering if the ground hog saw his
shadow on grounding day, and
/ which way it works, and if the
two have kind of mutual under
standing about the continuance
of these gentle little snow storms

| am not of the opinion that
the right move is being made for
the relief of the settlers to put
them on their feet for the com
ing crop. l do not think it is
seed that they want provided. 1t
| doesn't take much Tor the little
seed wanted for one-row stuff
say from 80 to So, including truck
and garden. Further, what good
will it do the man to have the
seed, when he has no feed for
his horses, and they have just
managed to pull through this
beastly winter? What the man
wants is something'that will give
strength to his poor horse--that's
feed, and feed costs money. The
man who has a team or two, has
had no feed for them, and has
inst managed to pull them
through alive, ought to have S25
or $50 Of grain for them. | don't
know how many such there are
who haven't the money to buy
the grain, but they might num-
Der up to a hundred, either more
or less. Whatever the number,
there isn't probably one of them
that wants anything given to him
and probably not one of them
wouldn't pay back such a loan
out of the crop raised this sum
mer. My suggestion would be
to proceed to raising money at
once by subscription, that it be
loared te those needing it, up to
certain amount, and that when
paid back it be used to buy books
for children. or in any other way
that a committee for that pur-
pose may determine. In case e.
nough money cannot be raised
'y subscription, then let the
commissioners do the rest.

There II no real middle ground. men
must be one Of two things. players or
checkermen. They must make the
moves themselves or depend on some
one to move them. And one OF the
things to remember is that the man
who does the moving Is playing to a
purpose of his own and the men who
are content to be moved and who are
without purpose mustn't complain If in
jumping to the king-row the player re-
moves two or three of them. That's
what they have lent themselves to.
They are only checkermen anyway.
Maybe somebody else will put them
back on the board to use again in
another game, but they will be check
ermen still
Which are you going to be, player or
checkerman? 1t is up to you. The
easiest way is to be one Of the pawns.
1t takes hard work and thought and
intense watchfulness to play 1t doesn't
require much TO be checkerman.
Which are you going to be? It's up to
Won.

tax paying folks might as we'll not
have any parks at all. There is not
even any place where one may go and
cool of in the shade on hot Sunday
afternoons. unless YOU are willing to
sit on an ant hill and fight chiggers.
The money tied up in all the parks
ougth to be concentrated in one or two
where people could get returns-pro-
v:ding the city is too poor to fix EN-
all up.
