YOUR NEWSPAPERS.

77HE newspapers of the country not worried over
any proposal to place war muzzle on their news
u and comment While they are all anxious to give
their readers the best possible service and guidance
they will bow cheerfuy before any decree
grounded upon national necessities They feel they are
justified in the belief that they enjoy the protection of
public sentiment that will operate to check any disposition
to apply unnecessary and unreasonaby official restric
TONS They feel that the mutually interest between the
public and themselves will form an equitable solvent
There no reason why the public should not be fully alive
to the desraby of protecting the newspapers 1t is upon
the press that the public depends for its information any
improper abrdgement of which will certainly resented
Moreover the public has been treated consderatev bv the
newspapers in giving increased service and one that
is costly during such times without increasing the
cost to the people Newspaper publishers stand alone in
not having raised prices notwithstanding their
have enormously increased 1t is probematical how long
they stand it.

Do You KNOW what Cypress knee"
is? No? Then listen, and I'll tell
you.
When the great cypress trees
are cut down SO that the wood may
be used to make houses and things,
the great stumps are left In the
swampy soil. And as time goes on,
curious little cone-shaped growths
come up all around the stump. They
look exactly like toy cones such as
you might have in your box Of
blocks, only ther are two or three
feet high. They seem to come up out
of the soil to comfort the poor, lone
some stump; though, between you
and l, think the cypress tree would
rather stand in all its beautiful glory
than be cut down and then have SO
many comforters!
But 1t isn't what we want, but
what we get, that counts. So per.
haps the cypress stump, after 1t is
cut down, Is glad of the little pointed
knees" that come up all around Its
poor, deserted stump.
As one travels up the beautiful
river in which old Mr.. Cater lives.
one sees hundreds and thousands of
these curious cypress knees, and
great nesting places they are for the
birds too. The birds love to perch on
the tip Of the knee and many a bird
sleeps on its own particular knee all
the night long.
One night great, beautiful
whooping crane, one of the rarest
and most beautiful of all birds,
perched himself ON Q cypress knee
not three feet from the hole in tho
bank where old Mr.. Cater lived. And
there, In the darkness Of q warm
midsummer night, he went to sleep.
The night owls hooted and called;
the bats huttered here and there
through the darkness, but the great
crane slept on. The big fat 'possum.
who lived near by, came down to the
water for his nightly drink, but the
crane was used to that, and slept on.

hummed, lightning bugs lit their
