Woodchoppers of the city are get

annual woodchopping bee which the
Central W is going to stage in
Wildwood Park next Saturday after
noon. Last year the party chopped
enough lumber to keep the home
fires of the 'Y" burning throughout
the entire winter, and this year they
expect to even break that record.

saturday afternoon. Motor trucks
will work far into the night carry
ing away the results of his labors.
The kiwanis Club members are
getting up early in the morning and
running around the block in their
nishties just to be in shape for the
chopping, while the Rotary Club has
organized itself into volleyball
squads and is thus conditioning itself.
Everything has been arranged
by Grant Forrer for the chopping
and it only remains for the day to
be pleasant. Eli n. Hershey may
grind the axes again, but no report
has as yet been forthcoming.

Dipping Candles in Vermont.

Adapting candles used to be
A sight it soothed your eyes to see;
1t amt like pouring tallow down
A metal throat you buy IN town;
1t amt like fishing out mold
And casting sugar cakes or gold,
It's wicking, tallow, wit and tact
Combined in one artistic fact.
And so it's right enough to ask
is this squire's or lady's task!'
And echo answers sharp and clear,
''The female form is needed here
A man OF candle-dipping turn
Would be the kind that wouldn't ehurn,
The kind that's always in the way
And never out of debt day.
A soft-compacted wicking ball
Is what is needed first of all;
And this you see Fidelia touch
And take enough of, not too much;
And then she huns a little song
And cuts it right" but not too long;
And then she knots it round her stick,
Jest thick enough, but not too thick.
Meanwhile, as probably as not,
The tallow's been a-getting hot,
And now the old big kettle cools
Amongst the Darkroom tubs and stools;
For substances solidify
At melting point, * equals PHI:
That's why YOU have to ''seze the hour
Or get inferior candle power
Then next Fidelia takes a chair y
The straight backed one that's always
there
And grasps her hickory dipping-stick
That holds dozen warps of wick,
And, posing it above the pool.
She lets it dip and drip and drool;
Then up and down again-jest so,
As Candle Brothers start to grow
Then stick in hand, three steps or four
She takes and opes the outside door,
Whereat all kinds of Northwest cold
The little fellers' forms enfoId,
With such effect the tallow dears
Hush up their staactite tears;
Then back she goes and starts again
To battle the little candle men.
At last inside her box they 90,
The pretty candles, "snow on snow"
Each tallow man ten inches long,
Bemade with art. baptized with song;
Fidella's handiwork, indeed
It's all the blessing that they need;
Her grandchild, Gladys. let me say
Can turn no tastier trick today
