Heaven Sent the Lilies to
Soothe Mother Earth's
Color Weary Nerves
Mother Earth Was Glad to See the Mother Lily Bring
Her Children to Earth, So She Gave Her
the Choicest Spots in All the
Flower Garden
BY MARGARET McSHANE.

Mother Earth was tired and weary,
as she looked about at the highly
colored hues of her large domain.
She lounged on the soft green
slopes of hillside, and reflected on
the work of her hands.
The cool green Of the trees over
head rested her little, and it made
her calm to gaze at them, as they
spread their protecting arms about
her.
The grasses and soft moses at
her feet, were likewise green and
cool, and they too tried very hard
to give her rest.
Her flower children had always
run.to gayness in their garb. Bril-
liant reds greeted her each morning
as she awoke. and deep hued puppies
lined her path. Dainty pinks, palest
blues, and golden yellows Of gilt
tering tinge were always by her side.
and these, her children, We'd with
each other to make her path bril-
slant one.
Still, she was weary.
She looked to Heaven, where all
seemed quiet and at rest.
There is Peace" she said aloud.
And Heaven listened to her mus
ings and sent to her this answer:
Peace Is not with you, because
you strive too hard to be gayly
decked in rich attire. Consider the
lilies, they toll not, neither do they
spin, and yet no earthly creature in
all its glory is arrayed as one of
these"
And Mother Earth thought long
and seriously on these words that
came from Heaven.
Was\thi true? Had she tried to
deck her children only in rich at
tire, and had the longings of her
eolor-sense lost all the charm OF
calmness? 1t may be that, with

be satisfied to grow in a setting of
soft green ferns, she could be al
most beautiful.
The Day lily is her great COM
panion in the wild. She loves to
live beside old walls; so for the two,
if we find a half wild nook, there it
will be best for them to be.
And as the weeks passed by,
Mother Earth was glad once more,
and she was not weary, for Heaven
indeed had sent her peace.

Heaven to Earth, the lily came
across the blues of Heaven, and it
stayed with Earth, and it taught her
what it was to believe, to hope and
to love-
Her family were all fair to look
upon, and they brought with them
the peace and rest so craved.
Mother Earth gave the lily the
choice of all the favored garden
spots to raise her family in; and
for her own location, This beautiful
Madonna Lily chose spot in par
tial shade and open to the good
fresh air and some sunshine. She
looked carefully to the soil and Sc

The Coward.

Dixie Mccolion. Aged ii. Gresham. Neb.
Jimmie Williams was 4 soldier.
He was tall and had good features.
But he had a haunted look every
since he had been in the army. He
was a coward and he knew it; he
did not deny it. Before he was
! drafted whenever he saw sign that
asked you TO join the army. he
looked the other way.
After five months In the army he
sailed/to France with his company.
They started to the firing line as
soon as they reached France. Every
boy was eager to go but Jimmie. He
| was frightened and the closer he
got to the firing line the more fright
ened he became.
Jimmie's company marched two
days before coming to their station.
The next night, when they were
waiting to go over the top. one of
the men said, where is Jimme?"
for he was not to be seen; while he
was sitting on the firestep, the bull
lets whizzed over his head; he was
scared. He ran, he didn't care
where, if he could only get away
from there.
He stopped and thought of his
company. He turned and went back
and found his company ready to go
over the top. So he went over with
them. After the battle he was the
hero of thu. company; he had con-
quered fear.

He delivered q speech in Congress recently on the reNe

cause it4is a serious speech. The Colorado Senator said
in part:
Let US not forget that this is a Democratic mes-
sure and it comes from ! Democratic committee, elected
by a party whose ~shibboeth is anticlass legislation
and which demands equal rights for all and special priyi
leges for none. How many times. Mr.. President. have
1 repeated that sublime and beautiful doctrine on the
stump before Democratic audiences How many times
have l. with others. insisted that il should be be blaz
oned upon the front page OF every national Democratic
platform How often have We told the Republicans, the
representatives and embodiment OF privilege. that ours
is the only party wrapped in the apparel Of special priVf
lege for none and equal rights for alle How often have
l seen them shrink away from our terrific denunciations
of their class tendencies and privilege dispensauon2 I
make bold TO say. Mr.. President. that during my sis
years service in the Congress Of the United States VIC
have, Democrats and Republicans, enacted more class
legislation than had been placed upon the statute books
in all the period OF the history OF The United States be
fore that time. And We are only beginning.
How long will the taxpayers endure it, co7-
cede that they are more patient and long-sufering than
I supposed possible. Suppose they do not resist. how
long will they be able to endure il a. a matter Of fact9
In other words. how long wnl the Government remain

to those who have begun to see how valuable the serF
ice "a, the Indianapolis News says:
The announcement that motor truck routes viii

BY the postoffce department, recalls that Indiana
vas one OF the pioneer states when the department
decided to experiment with rural free delivery. Tie
late George n. Cooper, who was then a representa-
tive in congress from the Fourth district. arranged
to have a route start from Hope. Bartholomew eoun-
". Il was the first in Indiana. and one Of the first
In the United States. From the test made on that
route the department decided 20 spread rural free
delivery throughout the country, and the nation is
now covered with these rural routes.
The modern truck routes are a step in advance
or the old rural routes. Formerly the mail vas car
ried in wagons, usually meeting mail trains at a
small railroad station and then transporting the
mail 10 points not reached BY the railroads. The
driver OF the wagon hauled freight in addition to
the mail. The new motor trucl driver is expected
to transact similar business. IL is TO carry the
