And on the trees and all around
A goodly miracle | found
A delicate blur Of feathery clouds
Hung over the trees and on the
ground
4 dream Of finest gossaner silk
Pale green, all flecked with sun and
dew,
Like a wonderful carpet spread to
view.
Hither and thither there darted, too
A thrush, warm brown, or bord OF
Joyful messengers sent to you;
Soft cries of happy wild things afloat
With the rustling of leaves as the
breezes blow.
The air was filled with silver note
Now thrilling high, now waning low
Over all a delicate silver mist;
Birds, trees and flowers it softly
kissed.
But soon the sun, with its golden fire,
Will through the mist its magic
fling,
And to US bring our hearts desire,
A wonderful, glorious day of spring

FRUITS OF BOLSHEyISM

americans who have been un-
able to comprehend the attitude
Of minds of the Bolsheviki in Rus
sia who. commit fearful atrocities
upon political enemies who fall
into their hands, and Of the reds
in this country who send bombs to
innocent people, receive a new
insight into the character Of the
red by listening to New York's
commissioner Of charities.
In a recent report, he declares
commitments Of children to chari-
table institutions would be great
~ reduced in that city were it not
for the abandonment Of 81 many
children by parents of radical be-
llefs, who assume that children
are State property and should be
cared for at public expense.
1t is not necessary 20 60 furth-
er than this to be able to explain
anything the reds do in the wake
OF cruelty and bloodshed. The
paren' that will not care for his
or her own child when able to do
SO, rs not human. It is difficult
to place such parents at all. It is
an insult to the brute kingdom
to say they are brutes, for even
the animals will fight for the
protection of their young, and
provide for them.
Men and women who have be-
come so perverted as to refuse to
perform the duties which are
theirs by command of Nature and
Man, are too low in the scale of
life to be classified.
'. In veiw of such beliefs as this
held by the radicals here and a.
broad, no one need be surprised at
anything these people may sug-
gest or do. The most charitable
construction that can be placed
upon them is that they are afflict-
ed with form of insanity that
prevents them from functioninp
as normal beings.

HAS five
SUNDAYS THIS YEAR
First Time This Has Happened in
Forty years; Happens
Again in 1913.

Here is a case where I. w. w.
Bolsheviks and others who are
constantly agitating should get
busy.
The times are out of joint.
There will be twenty nine days in
February when every one knows
there should not, be but twenty
eight. However this phenomena
is explained by the fact that this
is leap year and something must
be done with the extra day SO
why not tack it onto February
which is skimpy little month
anyhow, with only twenty eight
.da, s.
But the worst of it is the odd
day is to be a Sunday and Feb
ruary will have five Sundays, the
flrs. time this has happened since
1880 and it will not happen again
Until 1913.
But to get back to the story,
There is one extra working day
this year.
Ordinarily there are six days
of the week which come fifty two
times in year and one day that
comes fifty-three. This year in
spite of the fact there are five
Sundays in February there are
only fifty-two Sundays in the
year. there are fifty-three Fri
days and a same number Of
Thursdays.
This means that the man who
is working by the month in the
year 1920 is going to work one
day for nothing. But, since as a
result of it being leap year some
good looking woman may propose
to him and he may get a good
wife, or if being already married
this can't happen, she may pro-
pose to his enemy and the down.
0rodden worker have the satis-
faction of seeing said enemy get
all things considered, it is proba-
bly, well enough not to raise a
fuss but to work the extra day in
silence and without protest.

than others, say that they will
not assist their poorer neighbors,
This is not only selfish, but untrue
to fact, for when they help their
neighbor, they help themselves for
good hard surfaced highways are
in their efficiency, equal to twenty
miles of travel to one on the mud
roads and sometimes more than
one hundred times as efficient, es-
pecially in muddy weather. The
farm in rainy weather and dur
ing the winter months is jail.
Let your Legislators hear the
voice from Back Home" and
hear SO loud that they will take
notice and use their best endeavor
to "Pull Mississippi Out of the
Mud!
Don't wait until tomorrow to
write or wire, do it today, your
neip Is needeQ TO build the future
life of our Great State.
Write w. T. Pate, the Secretary
of the Mississippi Highway I'M

will do and where your legislators
stand in this great movement for
the prosperity and development
of the resources Of our State.
Many communities of the State
are now so deep in mud that
horses and mules are drowned in
the mud. The streets in some
towns are SO bad that it is impos-
sible to get through them with a
