Even the bookworm. especially in the

splendid results. For several and sun

Three-Year Basis Not Equitable.
A. C. Justin, Cleveland. president of

THE BIRD AND THE ROSE

bloomed a lovely Rose As there were
no other flowers near her she became
very lonely. and sighed thru all the
summer days. She wished she were
out of that dreary place and in some
fairer land where other flowers
bloomed, where there were warmer
winds, for these winds chilled her
heart
A little bird, who was singing on
tree not far away. was much distressed
when he heard her signs and saw how
deeply sad she was. He came nearer
to her and said: Little Rose. tell me,
why are you SO sad, why do you sigh
and weep: 1 would not see you al
ways So" And the Rose answered:

THE QUEST OF TRUTH
BY IAlRI ZCMWAIT.
TUESDAY,.

The shrines of Buddah, dim Confucian affairs,
Murnblings of worshipers before the sun,
Whirling of mad dervishes, self torture
Wrought by black skinned natives of the bush,
Infants flung to turbid Gauges tide,
Totem poles of red skinned western savages,
Idols of the far off southern seas,
Pyramids of Egypt, Parthenon of
Athens, Pantheon of Rome, the pillared
Halls of Karnak and the rock hewn temples
Ancient of Chaldean priest and seer
Are but the painful groupings of the race
Amid the darkness seeking light and life,
Hoping by chance to touch the garments hem
Of Him who flung the stars like polished pearls
Upon the somber pail of primal Night,
Poured out the liquid fire of the sun
And breathed into the world the breath of life.
