THE THUNDER STORM

THE THUNDER STORM,
Inc leaves upon the poplars hang
unstirred,
The jaded world is sick with heat
and waiting,
While past the pale horizons rim
are heard
Grave thunder voices, heavily de-
batting.
All day have heat imps danced the
trodden ways
Where grasses bend beneath a dus-
ty pail;
All day the woodland, filled with fra
grant haze.
Has echoed to the rain crows
ghostly call
The deep. debating voices grow more
loud;
Across tho faded azure Of the
skies
Behold. how somber battlsments Of
cloud
In sullen. rolling majesty. arise.
Upon the glarins midday orssps tho
hush
OF twilight; blottsd out, tho
scorching sun.
And in the murky wood, q single
thrush
His timid. faithful vsspsr has be-
gun.
Tho poplars CULVER In, the breeze that
comes
Adventurins: its leaves shine seras
white,
While louder still the sound Of mon
strous drums
Augustiy rolls across the fading
Light.

Another voice has been heard from

LUMP SUM

Washington, Jan. 26.-Referring to
the enactment of the Sweet bill to
amend the war risk insurance law and
to increase the benefits to the Ameri-
can soldiers of the world war, Senator
Capper of Kansas said: cit gives
greater benefit to the soldiers, and
provides among other things, for the
payment of the insurance of service
men in a lump sum, if desired by the
insured. Many other provisions clar-
ify the law and make more simple and
more speedy the payment of the be-
lated allotments and allowances of the
soldiers, sailors and marines.
"This is an act of simple justice,
and should be followed by other laws
granting other just and deserved bene-
fits to service men, especially those
who are disabled and incapacitated
for daily labor. Whether a lump bonus
should be paid, or whether the legisla-
ton should take the form of loans for
the purchase of homes, either in town
or country, remains to be decided, but
certainly this country can afford to
be generous to the men who fought
our battles"

WHEN ALL PULL TOGETHER

1t is amazing what can be accomp-
lished when EVERYBODY pulls to-
gether. That's the way mountains are
moved. But there is more in it than
mere physical power-it's the SPIRIT
that is aroused by unity. You can't
hold a town back when its people de-
eide to do a thing-and then do it.
The Chamber of Commerce is the
very starting point of such move
ments-the cement, as it were, that
binds men and methods together.
It's very difficult for a FEW tc hold
back when the majority are smiling
and saying, "Come on-we're %invinc-
ible."
Towns, like people, are apt to "get
in a rut."
What does "getting in a rut' mean?
1t means letting fairly good enough
alone-being content with what has
gone before-complacently and snugly
settling back into precedence and in
action. 1t means struggling along
with the same schools, roads and city
policies regardless of whether they
are progressive or NOT.
These are spirited times. If a town or
a community begins to retrograde, the
downhill plunge is swift and sure. Both
worth while men and worth while bust
ness move elsewhere. Grab the rope
yank a bit with YOUR strength and
YOUR initiative and pride. 1t doesn't
take very long for a Chamber of Com
merce to work miracles in a town.
Cooperation spells success-indif-
ference, failure.
