Eminent medical authorities now tell
us that the influenza epidemic will not
return to the United States this fall,
which might be considered another case
of "watchful waiting" to see If it did
return. However, everybody is happy If
the terrible scourge is not to operate
again this year, and they will hope that
it will never come back in the same
malgnity.

And race around like everything
To find the ancient owners spring,
And practice that ballistic trick
OF singing apples on a stick;
Without house or barn i'm sight
The boys would stay all day and night.
And now all hands with right good will
Fall on their knees and pick uphill;
The fruit from hand to basket hops
And then inside the cart box drops,
And where the sheep paths overflow
They scoop it up as ducks do dough;
IN two short hours the cart il full
And then begins the homeward pull;
It's Jimmy, check up Sam and Bill,
Wen start afterwards the cider mill"
lest halfway home the road turns sharp,
And shows the mill Of Sandy Tharp,
They cramp and back and cramp again
And out a-comes the helper men
The load gets shoveled right straight in
10 Sandy's thousand bushel bin,
Which done, they start with quicker
pace,
And drawing near the homestead place,
= Snuml' says dad, in chest tones deep,
we plumb forgot to salt the sheep.

Dear Folks:
As Irwin Cobb might say, / have
often wondered why everybody when
they begin TO commence to start TO d.
rect communication to another use
that word, Dear" | have seen cases
when | thought this was a questionable
form of salutation, but as long as every
body does it, that's enough for me. I'm,
as the politicians say, always regular. ]
don't believe in kicking over the traces.
But what | wished to say particularly
was this--I find chat there are lot Of
people who think that it is old-fashioned
to save money, kind of an old fogy
notion; they think Of man who has
got the bank book habit as a cold, mar
row, selfish, grouchy individual, entirely
devoid of human sympathy. Now Ill adj
init that acts Of true generosity warm
the heart and that charity lifts man
out of the narrow confines of self inter
est, but do, most emphatically contend
that ! can make man save without de-
priving him Of any of his generous quail
ties Some of my best friends are gen.
erous to the extreme, They play as hard
as they work, and really enjoy life. Who
likes money worship, anyway? Who
wants greenback idolatryf Not |. Ii
there is anyone that | hate, it is
miser. He wears me all out. What ]
want is genuine respect, that's all. /
want to be a good friend to people and
urge them to save part Of their income
as matter of sensible foresight | don't
want EN- to save it ALL Good medicine
in too large doses il harmful. ! want
EN- to be sure and save something, and
do it regularly, and then spend some
and have good time, but be reasonable
about it. think that you get what /
mean, so good.by for now. Remember
that Monday is a holiday, so that ] will
not be at the bank, but come any other
day, and you're as welcome as pound
of sugar

They do not court effort. A man will
do piece of work just well enough to
"get by" with it, but only the excep-

better than the minimum of result re-
ouired. Because Of this universal hui
