from Old Bokhara to the steppes with

tools that have undergone nc change

THE SOUTH WIND AND THE SUN

o the South Wind and the SUM-
How each loved the other one
Full OF fancy-full of folly
Full of jollity and fun!
How they romped and ran about,
Like two boys when school is out,
With glowing face, and lisping lip,
Low laugh, and lifted shout!
And the South Wind-he was dressed
With a ribbon round his breast
That floated, tapped and fiuttered
In a riotous unrest,
And a drapery of mist
From the shoulder and the wrist,
Flowing backward with the motion
OF the waving hand he kissed.
And the sun had on a crown
Wrought of gifted thistle-down,
And a scarf of velvet vapor,
And a rav~eled-rainbow gown;
And his tinsel-tangeled hair,
Tossed and lost upon the air,
Was glossier and 1ossier
Than anywhere.
And the South Winds eyes we're two
Little dancing drops of dew
AS he puffed his cheeks, and pursed
his lips,
And blew and blew and blew!
And the Sun's-like diamond-stone,
Brighter yet than ever known,
AS he knit his brows and held his
breath,
And shone and shone and shone!
And this pair of merry fays
Wandered through the summer days,
Arm in arm they went together
Over heights of morning haze
Over slanting slopes of lawn
Then went on and on and on,
Where the daisies look like star-tracks
Trailing up and down the dawn.

CzECHO-SLOVAElA IS
 ALREADY REGISTERING

PRAGUE, May 14.-Czecho-Slavakia sees most firmly established of all the new governments which has sprung up in Central Europe. Bolshevism has gained no headway here. The reason: Czecho-Slovakia has gone to work. It has ample natural wealth in it's own borders. It. is mining it's coal and using it to run it's factories. Beet sugar plants will have large surplus for export. Food is not as scarce as in other countries. Textiles and some other industries have been held back by lack of imports, but banks forsee lott of business coming and have in- creased their capital. Confidence in the future gives Czecho-Slovakia rela- tive prosperity.
