PLAIN FOLKS

With regular sum-and-rain folks,
With folks whose hearts are
sound and who
Are straight and simple through

Such folks are truly fine folks,
The same-in-Shade-and-shine

And, whatsoever fools contemn,
I'm surely most at home with

Some like the putting-on folks,
The insincerely living crowd
Who ape the rich and please the

Such make-believing grand folks,
Such get-the-upper-hand folks,
Whatever place they occupy

bonds Of life and begun to spoil. In q

without eating longer than any other

kinds Of winged insects, even wasps,
and innumerable other noxious pests,

one mill is@>a low value to set upon

prowling scavengers the same as any

"A toad that adopts you and your
garden and makes his home in your

His homing instinct is strong, and you
may count on his clinging to life-and
your premises-at least for decade

chances are he will outlive you, for a
generation as We reckon human life,
or even 40 years, is not beyond the
possibilities of a contented toad. And

A bad check, presented by couple
of strangers, was cashed by a Prince
ton business firm this week. The po-
lice have good description of the
crooks, which has been telephoned to
various points in the state, and there
is a possibility of their being appre-
hended. Businessmen have decided to
cash no more checks for people not
personally known to them.
