A tramp walked up to Jim Rupe's ranch house at Maine few days ago and asked for some dinner. Jim told him he'd give him some if he'd saw up some wood. And this is what the tramp said:

I yield to no man in re- spect to the God-given privilege of earning my sweat by the bread of my brow. l am ready, anxious, to work. Give me some hay to spread, right out here in the snow. Show me where there is a stone wall to layv-behind. Anything but helping in the most dis tant way to devastate Arizona's broad forests, that the Almighty meant to gather moisture and induce the re- viving rain to fall upon the parched earth. Why, do you know that this

WHEN TO QUIT ADVERTISING

When the grasshopper ceases to hop And the cows quit bawling. When the fishes no longer flop And the baby stops squalling. When the dunner no longer duns An the hoot owls quit hoOting. When the rivers ever cease to run And the burglar stops his footing. When the vine no longer twines And the skylark stops his larking. When the sun no longer shines And the young men quit sparkling. When the heavens begin to drop And the old maids stop advising. Then-.it is time to shut shop
 And quit your advertising.

 It's fact, and l won't be a party to it. No forests, no rain; everything dry-dry as am. I decline the re- sponsibility for it. Fell me where I can find some hay to spread, I say or some oats to cradle, and I'll take off my overcoat and go and hire you a boy to do it; but no woOd-sawing for me, if you please"
 When the tramp had finished talk ing, Jim was in tears, and gave him his dinner.
