The Crop that Never Fails
CR. H. DYER, Fairield.)

(R. H. Dyer. Fairfield.)
O | nurse the soil
Like tender boil,
And give it of treatment fair
With a poultice-cure
OF strong manure,
And phosphates rich and rare.
And l SOW the seed,
And l hoe the weed.
And | labor day and night
With shovel and rake.
Till my sinews ache
With the frenzied, fruitless fight.
For the insects swarm
When the days are warm,
And the devastating drouth
Licks at the roots
or the tender shoots
With gluttonous tongue and mouth.
And the frost may kill
With a wanton will
As it goes on it's morning ride
Tis a game of chance
Twixt weather and plants
And me on the losing side
But there is a crop
That will not stop
For water or sun or bug,
or country or cline,
Or place or time.
Or fertilizing drug
And its growth is rank.
And it's safe to bank
For never a doubt assails-
That the hispid face
OF mans the place
Where full crop never fails.

Monthly Recital Proves
An Interesting Event

The regular monthly recital of the
Fish School Of Expression took place
at the Unitarian church Sunday May
81 at p. M The program was partic-
ularly interesting both in matter and
in delivery. There has been a great
growth in voice in every instance, es-
pecial improvement being noted in the
case of Mrs Blanche Howard, whose
voice has gained great breadth and
richness.
Donald Davidson's three numbers
were given with pleasing variety and
his audience recalled him. He respond
ed with selection showing a clever
mastery of the difficult act of dialect
remarkable in so young a student.
Mrs. Blanche Howard read four
bright selections and gave them with
splendid verve. That the audience evil
IDENTIFY expected something good from
her was shown by the hearty reception
given her at her appearance.
Master John Caughell's fine dig
nifty and ease of bearing and his grace
full naturalness of Interpretation de-
lighted the audience. This was his first
appearance before so large a gathering.
His reading of "Wisht | wuz Girl -
was particularly pleasing,
Rex Howard's fine Interpretation
of Stedman's "Kearney at Seven
Pines'p and Drake q American Flag"
completely captured the delighted list
eners, and he was recalled, giving Lieb-
erman 8 double number ~ am an Am
erican" with exquisite sympathy and
beautiful dignity,
Master Paul Purvine, the S year old
member of the school, gave three num-
bers in so fine style that he was
obliged to come again. This little fell
low bids fair to go very far in the field
of expression.
Theodore Howard appeared twice on
the program, His first number was ex-
tremely long and difficult, but this
youngster accomplished the feat of
keeping his hearers interested in every
line of the selection. His presentations
were very humorous and lifeike, and
the burlesque oration with which the
number ended convulsed the house. He
responded to an encore with clever
little selection called MemOu."
In his second number on the program
the real beauty and fineness of his work
was very apparent. 'Keenan s
Charge" by George Parsons Lathrop,
was delivered by this l2,year-old boy
with an appreciation and sympathetic
earnestness that puts many an older
reader to the blush.
The singing Of the Star Spangled
banner closed the program and the au,
dienee which completely filled the house
was dismissed with a few words of

CAUSE OF EYE
TROUBLES GIVEN
in DETAIL
Proper Method Of Treatment
Suggested

Thousands of people from childhood
to old age are chronic sufferers from
some form of headache, and in a sur.
prisingly large percentage of these cases
the cause may be traced directly to an
abnormal condition of the eyes. Some
times this condition is present at birth,
sometimes it is the result of sickness or
accident later in life.
One of the most frequent causes
of this class of headaches is muscular
ambulance. The eyeball is controlled in
its movements by six external muscles,
and when any one or more of them be.
come weakened or fail to operate as
they should, the result is defec-
tive vision and an intensive strain up
ON the nervous centers, generally mani
tested by pains in the forehead, the
temples or in the back Of the head or
at the base of the brain. If these con
ditions are allowed to continue they
often result in serious consequences,
such as strabismus-or cross eyes---or in
a general breakdown.
III treating such cases DR.. M. p.
Mendeisohn has been unusually success
full. In addition to the skill and
knowledge which he has acquired in his
moro than 81 years of exclusive practice
Of optcmetry, the doctor has Just re-
ceived the latest and best instruments
to be obtained. He is thus enabled to
develop and treat weak muscles, restor-
ing normal convergenee Of the eyes and
overcoming diplopia or double vision.
By the doctors methods all this is
done without the use Of the knife
formerly considered the only way-and
entirely without the use Of drops or
drugs Of any kind, as they are not only
injurious but dangerous.
Consult DR.. Mendelsohn at once in
regard TO your eyes and avoid the evil
results that follow delay in such mat
ters. Children's eyes especially should
be examined and treatment given as
early as possible while their muscles
are easily developed. DR.. AZ. P. Mendel-
