Their Country, Have Great Phys

Province by province, Italy mani
tests varying charm, and the people
differ as widely rs their surroundings.
The hot-blooded Southerner observes a

characteristic of the Latin people. But
the Italian is, broadly speaking. like
his country, endowed with n physical
beauty and charm beyond that of most
of his fellows.

Vacation Hints for Young vermonters.

Daniel Il. Cady in the Burlington
Free Press.)
Ho, all you young Vermonters
That city life pursue
What know you Of the country life
Your daddies came up through,
Or of the rural simplex world
Your mothers slipped into?
You girls have been a-wearing silks
Your whole glad earthly way;
Your mothers wore their first silk |
gowns
Upon their wedding day;
You boys have had more clothes and
things
Than my old pen can say.
You We lived your pretty, townish lives
At home. at play, at school;
You We had your time for basketball
And "hearts' and parlor pool;
You We only had to touch spring
If you were warm or cool.
But you have never seen a loon
Enjoy a one legged nap;
You We never had your sapvoke Slip
And spill two pals of sap;
You We never pealed hemloek log
Or set a wo0dchuck trap.
You We never heard an adder hiss,
Or seen weasel dart;
You We never followed up a stream
To find its baby start;
You We never smoked a raccoon out
! Unless YOU re extra smart.
You We never watched a hedgehog
hedge,
/ Or flying squirrel fly;
/ You We never seen a "cradle = trim
The sandy bearded rye,
Or hear the catbird s morning call
Or bobcats midnight cry.
| You We never helped to stone well
With big encaustic tile;
You we never owned a hunting knife
That once was just a fle
You We never found a gensing root
And cracked dollar smile.
You We never seen them pluck a goose
Or hold a nanny s feet
That wouldn t own her tiny lamb,
= So that the lamb could eat:
You We never helped to stir the soap
Or cure the shoulder meat
Ho! all You young Vermonters-
: The city life is thin;
Get out into the hinterland
: Where simple things begin;
Get out-see, hear, taste, touch anC
smell
The state you re living in.

CONSERVATION OF PAPER.

Every citizen ought to be willing
TO sec that not pound of paper is
wasted.
Demand from every clerk that any
unnecessary wrapping of packages
be dispensed with.
If you have no further use for to-
days newspaper save it for the
school children g playground fund.
Thus you will be helping conserve
the nation s paper supply and at
the same time helping along wor-
thy local cause.

good on the racks but won't stand inspection
