COMING OF SPRING


There's something in the air,
That's new and sweet and rare
A scent Of summer things,
A whir as II of wings.
There's something. too, that's new
In the color of the blue
That's In the morning sky. Z
Before the sun is high.
And though on plain and hill
'Tis winter, winter still.
There's something seems to say
That winters had its day.
And all this changing tint.
This whispering stir and hint
or bud and bloom and wing,
Is the coming OF the spring.
And tomorrow or today
The brooks will break away
From their Icy, frozen sleep.
And run and laugh and weep.
And the next thing in the woods
The catkins in their hood,
OF fur and silk will stand,
A sturdy little band.
And the TASTES, soft and fine,
or the hazel will entwine:
And the elder branches show
Their buds against the snow.
So silently. but swift.
Above the wintry drift,
The long days gain and gain,
Until on hill and plain,
Once more and yet once more,
Returning as before.
We see the bloom of birth
Make young again the earth.

Clergyman Whose Views on Women Excited Some of
 Them, Breaches Farewell

Rev. Hubert Cyril Garter, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, preached his farewell sermon last night at the church.
 MT. Ca1ter's resignation, it is said. was asked Friday night at a meeting of trustees and others of power in the church. He complied with the request
 The pastor created some excitement among women and in church circles several months ago hy his statements on womanhood. The statements were sensational and it is said called forth criticism from others of the clergy.
 He once was credited with saying that women are not gifted with as much reasoning power as men, and that while women have it in their pow CT to make the earth almost a para disc, many conduct themselves along questionable lines. He said He meant to bring this class to the attention of Bridgeport.
 MT. Garter has protested that Billy
