Speaking of Spring
by WAIT MASON.


The winter, long and cold and gray
packed up his grip and sloped away
He thot that he would never go, and
take his punk old frost and snow. but
finally he gave three whoops, and
cashed his checks, and looped the
loops.
And now the gaudy springs at
hand, and once again the age old
land looks just as fresh and new and
flne as when Dad Adam fed his swine.
Inc brooks are sparkling in the sun;
the fields are green that have been
dun; the robins sing, the skies are
blue, the world seems Just as good
as new
And this is when the country calls,
we weary OF town streets and walls.
We want to rise at break Of dawn, and
go cavorting here and yon, DER long
white roads, thru glade and glen, to
Yuba Dam and back again.
'Tis in the spring that men ex-
claim, ITS time we broke into the
game, and bought US cars. in which
to ride all o'er the blooming country
side. We've been deprived OF four
wheeled boats. for cost of living got
our goats; and we have said, each
verdant spring, Wen buy car next
year. by jing!' And now the time
has come to buy; we want to ride
before we die
And since "A million men or more
Will buy their cars ere spring is DER.
1t seems to be the proper time to
boost the Haynes, in prose and rhyme.
Prospective buyers hear "A strain that
sometimes undermines the brain.
They hear so many gorgeous tales
from men intent on making sales,
they get confused and full of pains
untll they journey in the Haynes.
When once they're riding in that car,
whore those soft springy cushions are;
when once they see it eat the road,
still purring underneath its load, their
problem will be solved and they will
buy the Haynes car, right away.
The car that doesn't bring you grief,
that makes the longest road seem
brief. &.

SEEK TO AVOID ANY

Holland in Ticklish Position

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
THE HAGUE, Netherlands. April
1.-TWO general elections are due
this ye2r, but because of her danger
Cus position in the vicinity OF the
arena OF war, Holland wants 10 avoid
holding either. Statesmen and poli-
iicians believe they have solved the
problem low to avoid exposing the
ration TO the perils of a political bat
tie at this critical time.
The four years life OF the present
parliament automatically comes to an
end next June. That would bring the
first election. The second election
would result from the revision of the
constitution that long has been oc-
cupying the Dutch parliament, and
which has now only to pass the frs
chamber to complete the first stage
Of its legislative voyage. The consti
tution of the country demands that,
after such revision has passed its
first reading, the Two chambers shall
be dissolved and a fresh election held,

AMERICANS NUMEROUS
IN CANADIAN TROOP
Regiment Is Greatly Enthused
By Americas Entrance Into
the Great Conflict.

Correspondence of The Associated Prcss)
LONHON, April 26.-America's
entry INTO the war was hailed with
unhounded enthusiasm by everyone
of the seven hundred native born
Americans encamped near London in
three Canadian battalionS, one OF
which. the Two Hundred Eleventh,
has been called the new American le.
gion because Of its large percentage
Of bows from the states The other
two battalions are the Two Hundred
Twelfth and Two Hundred Thir-
teenth.
The Two Hundred Eleventh was
called the American legion when II
was formed out in Calgary While in
process of formation there il attract
ed Americans from many parts of the
United States ard Canada. SO ii was
only natural that the members should
cling to their native designation when
they landed in England, especially as
tha outfit numbered more Ameri-
cans than any Canadian battalion
since the Ninety Seventh, which was
known Ms the original American le
gion in the Canadian army. but which
lost its identity when II was broken
up and its members scattered among
other regiments. some OF which were
sent to the front and saw fighting on
the SOrlmp
