 There was marked diversity of opinion when the measure was under consideration by congress to advlsabfy of all its provisions but the influence the administration prevailed and have the law

Decem- ber ls The actual date of the cen tennial was last Monday. but since the local celebration will be in the form of a picnic. it is being held on Saturday SO the school children may attend.

All Hoosicrs and their friends and the public generally are urged to gather at Papago park at noon Saturday. The location is straight east on the Mcdowell road. and just west of the new Crosscut power canal-the same spot used by

A mOCkING BIRD

An arrow. feathery. alive, He darts and singe, Then with a sudden skimmins dive Of striped wings He finds pine and. debonair. Makes with his mate All birds that ever rested there Articulate The whisper of a multitude Of happy wings Is round him, a returning brood Each time he sings. Tho heaven be not for them or him. Yet he is wise, And daily tiptoes on the rim Of paradise.
