Makes us seem 10 very smali,
Like the sea gulls ON the ocean
Fitting forth from wall to wall.
In our selves we're not sufficient
And alone, scant seeds we SOW.
But IL takes a human interest
In each other that we grow,
As wall of odd construction
Made OF blocks OF different mold.
IL takes every sort Of pieces
To make any structure hold
SO we should, ALL work together
In our country great and free
If we wish to build a fortress
OF human love and sympathy.
Wa are only bits. no two the same:
Each has a place to fill
The way we fill one place will fest
The strength OF what we build
Now structure that Is worthy
OF our efforts and our pride
Is under. rear construction
For our town and country side
Public library-yes- you've heard II
And its strength depends, upon
Each one interested In Deming
And the place we call our home.
II we want TO please the homefolks,
And the strangers coming through
We must have some worth while

To be made stronger, since begun.

THE CONQUEST OF CANAAN"

There's a "Main Street." that runs
through Canaan" the mythical city
which Booth Tharkington wrote about
in THE Conquest of Canaan" In
Canaan were some who were respec-
table and others who were not. once
you were placed in the latter class, 1t
was next to impossible to live down the
disgrace.
Here, the respectables looked up to
Judge Pike as their leader. His word
was law. The unrespectable accepted
him because they knew that he owned
their homes, their saloons and had
their lives in the hollow of his hand
AS the title suggests, Main Street In
Canaan was conquered and by two of
the unrespectables, Joe Lauden and
Ariel Tabor Ariel was fortunate
enough to inherit money which took
her to Paris. Joe could not bring him
self to conform with the Main Street
conventions which aroused such pre-.
Judice within him that he was forced
to leave town to carve out a better
career.
The development of this interesting
plot, which brings out the big
ness as well as the pettlness of mid
dle-size town, is illustrated in the

quest Of Canaan" which will be shown
