SEPTEM BIER
By Walt Mason

fair September, I well remember how sweet, in years gone by, did seem your features to weary crea- lures whom August tried to fry. Your coming teaches all human peaches, as well as human jays, there's compensation for tribulation in summers burning days. For mornings golden we are beholden to you, sweet month and fair; great nights for sleeping are in your keep ing, and slumber'S death to care. To bed we mosey and there we're cozy as oyster in its shell; we leave our couches, devoid of grouches, when sounds the breakfast bell With hum ger thrilling we start a-filling our selves with goodly freight; we eat cur vittles, nor jots nor titles are left upon the plate. Our jobs we tackle with cheerful cackle, and work the long day through. no sluggish feeling our blood congealing, or weighing bone and thew. September pleases; her dipping breeZes fill man with snap and vim; he quits intoning his dirges droning, and sings joy GUS hymn.

SEE AMERICA FIRST-PUGET
 SOUND
By George Fitch


 Puget Sound was constructed many million years ago, but lay in d neglected and disheveled condition entirely surrounded by pine trees until the early seventies of the last century.
 It forms the northwest corner of the United States and makes this country look as if someone had bit ten a chunk out of it in a moment of great illfeeling. It is about 150 miles long, but is so filtered up with islands that it does not appear to be very wide. A strong man can see across it anywhere. This, however. is because Puget Sound is decorated on both shores with mountains of great size and dignity. One of tho pleasantest tasks in America is to stand at Seattle or Tacoma and look across Puget Sound at the Olympic Mountains. owing to the fact that they are covered with fog in winter and with forest fire smoke in sum- mer, this is rare privilege. old settlers in Seattle date events from the last time they saw the Olym- pics.
 Puget Sound is beautiful and harmonious collection of waters. It is famous for being the most peace full body of water on the globe, which accounts for the phenomenal growth of Seattle and Tacoma. They have been populated by travellers who are subject to seasickness and have gazed upon the calm sound waters after having endured s135 worth of ill health with tips extra on the At lantic
 The greatest forests left in Ameri- ca come down to the edges of Puget Sound and the buzz-saw and salmon cannery work overtime along it's shores. The United States almost went to war over this collection of wetness in the forties and then for got all about it for thirty years. Now it is lined with roaring cities which grow two acres every night and like nothing better than to cut down a 300 Ofoot fir tree and build a 4O0-foot skyscraper in it's place. over six hundred thousand peaple now live around the Sound. though forty years ago the traveller who dropped his matches in these waters would have had to travel 15O miles to find the nearest cigar store.
 Steamships from China, Japan. Europe and Alaska jostle each other in Puget Sound and more motor boats than can be found anywhere else on earth navigate it's waters. It would take an industrious man 100 years to seek out all the beauty spots in this region with a motor boat, any many earnest, enthusiastic shippers are putting off their deaths indefinitely for this reason.
