&C. E. Sweeny is looking for men

mond to help harvest his corn crop.
Monday morning Charlie brought a

the stalk measured full fifteen feet in

from the ground. Just how many
stalks taller than this one were grow
ing in his field, Mr.. Sweeney did not

the lengthiest corn he had grown for
several years.
Monday morning marked the be-
ginning of autumn. And the foliage
green and blooming flowers that have
been so pleasing the past few months
will soon be listed in the past. The
flowers will wither and fade away, the
leaves of tree and plant will turn to
yellow and gold but we we'll yet have a
panorama of a few weeks duration
that painters brush cannot equal. The
harvest time is nearly past, the hazy
days are here and when October rolls
around we enjoy the prettiest time of
all the year. But there is rumbling
of sadness in the wake of these mus
ings. 1t is the rattle of the coal wagon
which forebodes snow and ice and bit
ing frosts. But such is life. Our joys
and sorrows, our sweet and bitter cups
are so arranged that we live them
through and when the last call comes
we know them not.
