POETRY
TREE-ToPs
AMANDA BENJAMIN HALL

By AMANDA BENJAMIN HALL
 Norwich, Conn. As high as hope my room is hung Where winds ride free, and birds have
 sung The listening leaves to ecstasy With tricky tunes In this rare place The sun and meet face to face, And breezes living in the tree Pass silver fingers over me, slip cool green thoughts into my hair From dawn to dusk And swan
 clouds swia s.-.. .--I-i Across the vast blue interim, Preening their lovely plumage there And when the showy sun has set That night remembers to regret. The moon leans on my window silI Confdingly- Who else may know What froze her faith long years ago And changed her from a danodfi To those strange pallid flower, save l Whose field of wisdom is the sky? ] am interpreter of such, ! am the one who understands The lonely star that droops to toueh The popuar with uplifted hands, OF birds heart breaking in the night And all the ache and urge of flight. But the lost world. which lies below. l do not love. I do not nnoW. And when I sometimes venture down, seem to fall with broken wing -sIenseless-in the shallow town ! neither move nor sing And those who pass me in the street May bruise me with their careless feet.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence
 Over Rheumatism


 Cent of Anyene's Money Uaiess Ahenrhu Completely Bssishes All Rheumatic Pains and Twinses.
 MT. James Fl. Alien suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this ter rible disease left him helpless and un- able to work.
 He hnaily decided, after years of ceaseless study. that no one can be ffee from rheumatIsm until the accumuia ted impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits. were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body.
 With this idea in mind. he consulted physicians. made experiments and finally compounded prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism frern his system.
 He freely gave his discovery to others who took it with what might be called marvellous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. Lee &s Osgoed Co. have been appointed agents for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the un- derstandlng that they will freely re- turn the purchase money to all who state they received no benefit

COMMUNITY FARMING.

One of the most appealing things
about Secretary Lanes plan to provide
farms for soldiers and sailors is the
new farm idea," which he explains
as follows:
There will be built~what are known
as community settlements, each con-
tanning a number Of farm homes, so
that the men will have near neigh
bors, good roads over which to bring
their produce to town, and market
for the sale of the product within a
short distance of the farm home. Ef-
forts will be made to overcome the
handicaps of farm life that are driv-
ing the people to the cities-lack Of
society in the country, the distance be-
tween farm homes, the remoteness
from the postofice and the newspaper,
the desire for better school facilities
for the children. Under the new plan
there will be the farm village, the set
tlement of farmers around center
which is their home, in which can be
gathered most Of the advantages OF
the city"
This is apparently an adaptation Of
the European idea. IN many foreign
countries the farnahouses are cluster
ed in groups instead Of being scatter
ed, like American farmhouses Thus
they make small villages, with the
cultivated land surrounding them. The
farmer then goes out to work on his
farm by day just as the industrial
worker goes to his factory, and when
his work is done has the advantage
of the community life. Needless to
say, if this idea is transplanted to
America, it will be anlplified and mod
ernized in ways unknown abroad, Civ
ing an unrivaled combination Of city
and country advantages.

THE AIR IS OURS!

~ what hath God wrought" was the
first message transmitted over the
telegraph wires to an incredulous
world. Mans speech had conquered
distance. There were then no means
Of telling the world in an instant tha'
the feat had been accomplished
But when, on the seventeenth Oh
May, America won i1er greatest VIC
tory, Flyers Safe at the Azores
went flashing. throughout the world.
Arnistice Day, full of rejoicing,
looked backward over the waste OF
war. To those who felt it most, IT
was a day of emotion too deep for
hllarity, closer to tears. But Won
derful as it was, it was a backward
looking day-a day of gladness be-
cause the bitter past was done.
The seventeenth of May, quieter.
touching with profound feeling only
those of keen, forward vision, will be
remembered in the histories as the day
when first we squarely faced ahead.
with the landing of the flyers at the
Azores, the long leg of the perilous
Journey behind them, America and
the world must face the fact that the
new age is at hand.
The sea is ours. The treasures OF
the earth are ours. Fire is our ser
want. And now we hold the air.
What shall we do with them?

BoLsHEvIsM COLLAPsING.

A big change has come over the
face of the world so rapidly and yet
so naturally that many people have
hardly noticed it at all.
After Germany had been defeated
there arose a new menace, which
seemed no less threatening than Prus-
sianism had been. Bolshevisrn was
winning in Russia. It seemed that
this plague might overrun all Europe
and in the end invade America.
Through the winter the movement
appeared to gain strength almost ev-
erywiaere. Lenine had big army,
and that army was victorious on
many fronts. His emissaries We're
busy in other lands. American So
cialists in considerable numbers en-
dersed his system OF proletarian tyran-
ny.
Where would it end? Would prop
erty everywhere be confscated? Would
industry and commerce everywhere
be prostrated Would unskilled labor
everywhere seize the reins of govern
ment, and everything be razed to a
dead-level of poverty and slavery?
No more individuahsn No more
possibility of every man developing
freely and happily according to his
own talent and energy? No more life
along the old lines? Nothing sacred
any more, in Law. or tradition or re-
ligion? Nothing. but drabness and
repression for all people?
That nightmare has faded. Bolshe-
vism no longer looms as monster
about to devour civilization. It still
survives but it is on the defensive ev-
erywhere.
Lenine's armies have been losing
steadily of late. The industrial sys-
TEN he inaugurated is falling 70
pieces from its own defects
May Day was to be the hiSh-water
mark of "Red" activity. 1t marked
only futile efforts, and the move
nent has been waning rapidly since.
Wise precautions are being taken ev-
erywhere against it's insidious propa-
ganda, but there is no more panic.
Civilization has learned that it has
the upper hand, after all. and that life
may go forward along the lines OF
high idealism and noble aspiration in
stead of coming to an end in a
miasnic bog.
