Dear little state among the dark green
hills,
Who for thy never-changing bounds
didst take
The long, bright river and the azure
lake,
And whose deep lap the short
summer fills
With sudden sweetness till its wealth
o'erspills,-
How shall we sing thee for thy
beauty s sake.
Or praise thee in voice that shall
not break
For pathos of the theme wherewith it
thrills?
What if ON flying feet thy summers
90,
And the strict gods of beauty and
of power
Poured in a casket small thy peer
less dOwer9
Who would not rather feel love s ficrc-
Than count the vacant years the love,
less know
Reign with the rose her one imperial
hour
Than live the summer-long meaner
flower?
Be glad; thy crown is greener for the
snow.
Swarm after swarm thy children have
gone forth
But still the old hive keeps its gold
en- store,
Filled by the same bright service as
before
With frugal bounty and unwasteI
worth;
And still they fly, far west and south
and north;
Then murmur fills the land from
shore to shore;
And if but few return, what myriads
more
Dream of thy face and bless thee for
their BIRTH

Water Gap Cut By Natures Whip Saw

Delaware water gap is a vertical
walled trench, 1000 feet deep in the
narrow ridge Of Kittatinny mountain
through which Delaware river flows.
Did the river find this gateway ready
made through the mountain or did it
cut its way through the hard mountain
lodges, and if so, how could it accom-
pish its mighty task?
BY the study of the geology of the
region the following history has been
worked out. After the rocks had been
formed, layer by layer, as sediments
in the sea they were folded and tipped
on end and worn down by nature s
forces to gentle surface across which
Delaware river flowed to the sea. The
top OF Kittatinny range was then part
Of this surface and the adjacent area
that is now lowlands stood nearly at
the same level Elevation of the land

caused the Delaware and its tributa-
ries to wear away the softer rocks and
leave the harder rocks standing in re-
lief az ridges. The hard rocks that
compose Kittatinnv range formed
rapids in the Delaware where it cross
ed them but the river gradually cut
this barrier away.
1t is easy to believe that streams
caa remove soft shaIe and limestone
in their course, but it may seem at
first thought impossible that water
alone can cut away hard rock The
water, however, is only medium, for
the cutting is done by the sand,
gravel, and powders carried by the
stream, just as emery fed to a saw
cuts through the hardest rock or
steel. Large round holes that were
ground into hard rocks by the churn-
ing of pebbles at the bottom of small
falls have been left as E'potholes on
the sides of gOrges as the evidence of
such stream cutting So the Delaware,
concentrating its power on a small
section of the hard rock of Kittatinnv
range was able, during a long period,
to cut the gap through the rocky bar

Good Roads

| sing you an ode of the country road,
The lumpy road and the bumpy road,
That jolts the wagol and spills the
load,
Mud to the hubs when the rain comes
down.
Filled with ruts when the fields are
brown,
And the sun is hot and the air is dry.
S clogged with gravel and packed
with sand.
So built, and graded, and laid and
planned
That it takes team and sometimes
two,
To do the work one horse should do,
1t racks the wagons with jolts and jars,
1t ruins horses and motor cars,
Keeps back crops from the market
place,
Piles up debt on the farmers place.
The old-time road is plain disgrace.
But the modern road is a different
thing,
A worthy theme for the bard to sing.
Put together
For every weather,
Smooth and dustless and good to see,
And graded right as a road should be-
Useful always and muddy, never!
4 thing of beauty JOY forever!
-Berton Bradley.
