April

With April comes the feeling
that winters hit the ceiling, and
spring at last is here; we are not
always freezing. or catching cold
and sneezing, and fiue germs dis
appear. The winters grim and
dreary, it makes us sad and
weary, it fills our bones with
aches; but April is enchanting,
and we begin our planting, and
plying hoes and rakes. The win
ter's knell is tolling, and naught
is more consoling than is the
breath of spring; there's solace
in its breezes, and men are SIM
ply cheeses who do not dance
and sing. The tumble-bug is
tumbling, the bumblebees are
bumbling, the grass is getting
green; this fact appeals to rea-
son; there is no better season
for burning gasoline. Oh, April
lis a hummer, she is the cheerful
conner who gets the welcome
sign; though sometimes wet and
windy, inclined to raise a shindy,
her curves are mostly fine. She
shows that winters ended, for
| she is not attended by snow and
| ice and sleet; with cold she's
never stung us, and so she lands
among us with both her queenly
feet. WALL MASON.

MARRIED MEN NOT WANTED.
Army Unwilling to Support Sol
diers' Families, Circular Says.

Married men are not taken for en-
lstnent or re-enllstment in the Army
says Gen. Harris. adjutant general. in an
official circular, unless they can prove
to the recruiting officer that they are
able to support their families without
government aid.
''.The allotment under the war risk
insurance act" says he, "only con-
tinues during the war. and Army pay,
while enough for one to live on. is
considered insufficient for a family"
1t is explained that a soldier can live
on his pay, because the government
provides his food, shelter, clothing
and medical treatment.

AIRPLANE DECISION.

Men of England will not dump oh- solete war machines on men of the United States. thus destroying the in- dustry in the country.
 The decision handed down in the United States District Court. Brook Iyn. will prevent rendering this coun- try helpless in the air should war ever come again.
 The decision must bo followed by other courts. however. if this desired result is to be obtained.
 The airplane in it's present form is strictly an American invention. owing to the fact that Its advantage in war was made use of more quickly by the countries which entered the war be- fore VIC did, the invention was carried farther and progressed more quickly in England than in this country.
 When the war ended there was much enthusiasm shown here in con tinuing the progress made elsewhere. National refusal to recognize the tre- mendous possibilities dampened that
  Englishman to buy up old war planes Of that country and sell them here.
 By this arrangement they would he able to undcrsell Americans, and yet reap a rich profit. But were 1t to be carried through there would be a fail- ure of the industry here. At a time when men of New York are just be- ginning to commute to their homes m Long Island by means of airplanes: when encouraging reports are being made by airplane transportation com panies of the number of passengers carried recently through many con- secutive days. the importance of this decision cannot be overestimated. De- velopment of the industry in the field Of transportation and in the field of sport aids it's development in contem- pIation of war. This development has begun to be seen in a practical man. ner. IL was threatened. The decision of the United States Court, therefore. comes at a most opportune time. And 1t is worth while to remember the significance of Senator wads- worth's remark made some time ago that the next war will be begun by a coast.

MIDSUMMER DAY.

Midsummer magic and music to- gether. Deep in the strawberries. high in the hay! Holiday hearts for such holiday weather, Jolly as children let loose for their play. Midsummer magic of sunlight and petal: Topples that drowse in the wind wakened wheat, Rivers of gold flow as smooth molten metal. Apples of gold as Hesperides sweet. Midsummer music of wings that are whirring Keen to the clover and bright on the bough, Blue -fcathered beauty suddenly stir ring As though the still sky were scat tering now. Holiday hearts for such holiday weather, Deep in the strawberries, high in the hay Midsummer music and magic to- gether Meet for the sweetness of midsum- mer day.

HOOVER WANTED.

There seems to be a great desire on the part of individuals to make some sort of public use of perfectly good material. Many feel that Herbert Hoover should forget all about his personal interests and continue to work for the common good. When there appears an opening for brainy. efficient man. Herbert Hoover is sug- gested to fill the place.
 Now comes a suggestion that isn't labor on the farms. Admitted! He argues that everything should be done by the Government to stimulate farm ing. Admitted again. He repeats the for veterans to take up government land and then urges that a man of the eminent ability of Herbert Hoover he seated in the next cabinet 10 suggest and to carry out the idea.
 Perhaps Mir. Hoover would appre- ciate getting away from the consider ation of food except for the three meals which. 1t is supposed. he en- joys in company with the rest of us who know so much less about its dis tribution than he does. The person who suggests this duty for the recent Food Administrator forgets that a dis tribution of men is a far different matter than a like disposition of food

"JEST RUNiuNATTN'.. (Robert RUssell.)

When lassitude comes fre- uuent an you, weary, turns each page in Life's big book O duty, it is sickness-or old age; when keen enthusiasms wane; when. unexplained, comes tears. it's illness that's attackin' you or else, perhaps. it's years.

But don't let tears nor lassitude nor wearipess progress; jest ruminate a bit an then, true manful-like, confess. If it is doctor stuff you needs. go, take it as you're told; if it's the other thing don't let yourself keep gettin' old.

manner of preventing a recurrence of the awful war that has just ended, but the aftermath of which is bring ing keen anxiety to all the world.
 Premier Lloyd Georges remark was bitter and the bitterness was pardon able.
 Temporarily. at least. but at time when our aid would be most bene- ficial. we are out of it; we have aban- doned the Allies. How differently they could talk to Germany were they sure the United States was with them heart and soul! The moral courage alone that would be given by the mere presence Of an authorized rep resentative of the United States at the conference would give strength to the declarations of the Allies; would bring a loss of self-confdence to Ger many.
 Heretofore England has expressed herself regarding America's refusal to aid in the settlements of the problems of the war in which America played SO glorious a part. in the eonserva- tive manner characteristic of the English. Now. perplexed to the breaking point. she shows bitterness. Dislike the English as much as one may. one must confess that she has a. right to be bitter.
 America has kclped slay the despic- able giant of greed which threatened the world. America should help bury tho body.
 Admitting that the Covenant em- bodied in the Treaty of Versailles should be Americanized by reserva- tions. and remembering that the Allies practically gave the United States a free hand in regard to them, 1t should have been modified and ratified. It is quite right that the treaty be made the prime issue of the coming campaign.

 The Bristol mayor has a wide ac- quaintance in New Britain, where he is always certain to find friends or acquaintances. He has taken part in a number of our civic gatherings and parades.
