DAWN AND THE sNowsucn TRAIL

Smoke-blue with flush OF pink,
Dawn paints the winter sky;
Over the ledge's brink
Rose hues leap pulsing high;
Then it's swish, swish. and crunching
stride
A myriad frost-gems scuffed aside,
And it's ho! for the snowshoe trail
Sentries with shrouded hoods,
Guarding the jewelled snow
White-tufted, silent woods
Light with the warming glow
Oh, it's swish, swish, with quick ming
Round the the bending birch where the
owlets hide,
And it's bark to the whistling quail.
Through dim and muffied aisels,
Skirting the frozen brooks;
BY pines in serried files,
Stalking the wild-land nLoks;
Then it's crunch, crunch, and a
Srouching Slide
Til the sparkling crust twangs the
tense rawhide,
And it's heads to the stinging gale.
Heads up! let lungs free
Wine of the Northland's air;
Great Spirits chastity
Cleanses the soul of care.
Then it's hearts and limbs and it's step
out wide
Ger the scurried tracks on the white
hillside,
And huzza! for the snowshoe trail.

bankers will give one the wisdom nec-
essary to handle money wisely.
When you invest in some things
stocks, for instance-you assume a
business risk for the sake of sharing in
business profits. But perhaps you are
not in a position to take business
risks"
Speculation is an expensive luxury.
The wisest course for the person of
moderate resources is to keep entirely
clear of 1t. no matter what form 1t
takes. When you speculate. you can
only HOPE to win, but with your
money in a sound bank you can know
just where your money is and what II
is earning for you all the time.
Savings bank deposits are better
protected than money in any equally
profitable and equally available di-
rect investment. The protection is as
nearly perfect as law can make any
investment of money. That is why
the savings bank ought to bo5 consid-
cred one of the foundations of our
national safety and prosperity.

THE CLEANUP CRUSADE

pennsylvania towns are in the midst
of good fever. In various places a
campaign is on to improve the c'-v or
town by instituting Cleanup Days
We must string in with this move
ment.
There, is q method in the cleaning
fever this year that promises the best
results. While all householders, mer-
chants and manufacturers have been
asked to help, the matter is not to be
left to the initiative of these persons
but committees will supervise the
work and see that 1t is we'll done. In
other years the success of the Clean
up Day has depended upon the energy
of some city official, but this year
| there seems to be desire to relieve
the city authorities as much as pos
sible of very much of the responsible
| ity for bringing about good sanitary
conditions.
In one of the cities of this State
committees have been appointed by
| trade bodies. civic societies. women's
clubs. the public schools, lodges and
churches. The territory is districted
each committee looks after operations
| in its own section, while a general ov-
ersight Is left to some city official
With general cooperation on this plan
the matter of getting funds for wag.
ons to haul away the refuse is not diff.
ficult, while the enthusiasm that will
be brought into the crusade against
dirt will insure the best results.
The civic advantages of such a
movement, not to mention the effect
on the general health and we'll being
of the community, would alone make
the effort worth while.

organization who retired this year be-
cause of age and failing health. But
no body of musicians can sit under
such a master in the art of chorus
leadership as DR.. Wolfe and not feel
the impression of his strong character
and superb musical ability.
DR.. Wolfe is conservative by nature
and is apt to be more given to under

prediction that this years recital OF
the choral society will be better than
ever may be taken at considerably
more than it's face value.

When figures short. tall, stout and slim
Will don their colors gay.

The side and back slit styles,

Walk up the long church aisles.
New hats, with stick-ups, will obstruct
The view of those behind,
While stick-outs on hats next to you

And midst this throng of women folks,
All dolled up in their best,
Poor dad will be in re-soled shoes
And last years suit just pressed.

WOODROW, HOW ABOUT 1T.

Now Woodrow! as to your old pal
And partner Johnny Bull,
And your scheme to give him our canal
What's the nature of his pull?
Do we owe him any gratitude
That we should pay and dig and delVe
For burning down our capitol
In the war of 1912?
Or is 1t for the hellish deeds
In the days OF tlintlock guns
When he hired savages to kill
Our wives and little ones?
Then why not a more appropriate
Present to your old pal.
a tomahawk and scalping knife
Instead of our canal?
Or come down to a later day
With a spirit just as mean,
Did he not turn pirates out to prey
On our unarmed marine?
With art and treachery most vile
Did he not boost the Southern cause
In every way he could?
Whose Is it anyway, Woodrow
And who had the bill to pay?
Who put up the dudods to construct
That mighty. waterway?
Who owns that ten mile strip of land
And who'll control the same?
Is 1t simply you and Johnny Bull
Or have we sort of claim?
In furthering your .obsequious plans
With foreign diplomats
Please remember were Americans
Before we're Democrats.
That some millions of us mark your
course
AS to these coastwise tolls,
And may feel quite gratified once more
To meet you at the polls.

A ND very early in the morning the
"A first day of the week, they came
unto the sepulchre at the rising
of the sun.
And they said among themselves,
Who shall roll us away the stone from
the door of the sepulchre:
And when they looked. they saw that
the stone was rolled away; for it was
very great.
And entering into the scpulchre, they
saw a young man sitting on the right
side, clothed In IL long white garment.
and they were nifrighted.
And lie saith unto them, he not
sffrighted: We seek Jesus of Nazareth,
which was crucified, he Is risen, he is
not here's behold the place where they
laid him.
But go your way, ieil his disciples
and Peter that he goeth before you Into
GuIiIee; there shall ye see him, as he
snid unto you.
Afterward he appeared unto the
eleven as they sat at meat, and up
braided them with their unbeIief and
hardness of heart, because they be-
sieved not them which had seen him
after he was risen.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.-Mark XVI, 2:7-I4-I5.

This woman is like many other per-

rapidly and who often lose what thew

lures. She was right In the first
place. The savings bank way is the
best until one has accumulated some
capital and acquired experience and
judgment to enable him to make sound
investments on larger scale A saw
ings account does not compel the in
Vestor to go back and start over again
because of losses by speculation or
otherwise.
One can invest small, odd amounts
in savings account. He can invest
them at any time, and his money will
begin to earn interest at once. The
interest, as soon as it is added to the
principal, begins to earn more interest
itself and thus the account grows in
two ways.
OF course. savings bank compound
interest is not the only way to make
money with money.
Many fortunes were made and many
more will be made through wise in
vestments And many fortunes are
lost, too, through unwise investments.

however, give the State Democratic

The Schuylkill county Democratic

and announces that it is ready to back

it would be just as ready to present
it's information to Palmer for use in a

An interesting sidelight on the
methods of the purists who are now
trying to uplift the State government
through the fundamentally of the
Reorganized Democracy is that they
intended to use the funds to be col
lected from the Schuylkill county
postmasters for the purpose of defeat
ing Congressman Lee, the Democratic
member who procured their appoint
ments as postmasters.
