Where are we bound for?, What's the
yield
OF all this energy and waste?
Why do we spend ourselves and build
With such an empty haste?
Wherefore the bravery we boast?
How can we spend one laughing
breath
When at the end all things are lost
In ignorance and death?
The stars have found a blazing course
In a vast curve that cuts through
space: 49,. ..-,s-
Enough for US to feel that force
Swinging US through the days.
Enough that we have strength to sing
And fight and somehow scorn the

To question or to save.

SOCIAL NOTES

Miss Eta M. Burkhart. a 17-year-old
girl of Sheridan, Wyo., is known as the
queen of potato growers in the United
States. She won her honors fairly,
driving the plow that broke the
ground, driving the disc harrow, MAX
her seed potatoes, cutting them into
three-eye pieces for planting, and do
ing every other bit of work there was
to be done. The first, year she raised
despite damaging floods and severe
haiistorms which destroyed the crops
throughout her section of the country,
her crop was SO bushels to the acre,
which success made her second among
all the thousands of competitors
throughout the United States in potato
growing. No other girl competitor has
anywhere near approached her record,
and it is conceded that Miss Burkhart
knows more about potato growing
than half the farmers in the country.
Miss Addie Stafford, who is to become
