Frog Music

Talk about your robins and your
black and your wrens;
Jest listen to the music Of the COB
blers and the hens.
And the guineas, and the ducks!
There's a voice, too, from the boys
That makes a right good tOotle; it's
the hollerin' of the frogs!
They come along in early spring,
about horse radish time;
They sing a song of bees and flow
ers, or plead for summers cline;
But, anyways, they've got the bulge
on all the birds that sing;
And there's so darned many OF them
that they make the whole air ring!
You walk along at evening, when the
ground has thawed out warm;
There's an early moon a-flirtin' with
the stars in proper form;
And you hear an orchestra tune up
in some still roadside pool,
With a treble, bass, and tenor to

THE RETURNS OF GENEROSITY

There are some people who never
let a dollar go out OF their hand
unless tey chan see jus where it is
coming back. The writer Of Eccle
siastes knew better, when he said;
Cast thy bread upon the waters
for thou shalt fin 1t after many
days"
A year or two ago, when the
American people were sending
large sums OF money to feed the suf.
ferers Of Europe, many people de-
plored this sending of money out
OF the country. Although there
was then comparatively little des-
titution in the United States, yet
many people could not feel the
least interest in feeding a starving
man who happened to live in some
some other country.
Now 1t appears that these re-
lief eterprises were not merely a
display Of enerosity scarcely equal
led in the history OF the world, but
thew will pay in otrer ays. It is
pointed out for instance, that rs
brands OF condensed milg are now
on sale in the grocery stores OF
Europe, together with a lot Of 9th
er American food products. These
brands might not have been knorn
in Europe for years, II our generous
hearted people had not RELY offer
ed them in time OF great need.
All over Europe people have be-
come familiar by this time with our
merchandise. They will buy 1t
more freely in the future, and the
unitel States will get fine re
