Who Reads May Run

Free verse never got to me-
Nor ought else free except the Lii
hrary,
But IL Amy and the other moderns
Can get by-maybe here's my chance
for fame,
Who knows? can't find any rules
Fly which to write the blooming stuff,
SO ruthless, rhynreless, this shall be
my song.
Lee Masters dug round and uuoarthed
All the "eussemess" in one small
town,
But we prefer to see the good
And turn from graveyards TO the liv-
ing.
To those good men and women
Who down beneath the surface world
~ crust
or crouch and selfishness and fret
Stll love their fellow men, stin love
The good in life and men.
The play is "Nelghbors," author, Zona

The place is high school hall, the date

AS uekless, but we trust q lucky one
On which the Library may roll IN
wealth a'7
Derived from tickets sold to you and
me.
Now if you're stuck thus far,
You soon viii get my point.
IT'S briefly this:-lf you be one
OF those who weekly crowd
The desk in search of something
More to read, then run
And buy one ticket, two or three OF

And boost the Library, which stand!
A humble. mighty power for good,
Whose influence win long outliye
These syncopated poets

The Man With the Hoe.
Twas the eve before the Sabbath day
And | was on my homeward way,
When at well-known hardware store
A man appeared within the door; =
His right hand firmly elutched spade
His left a hoe of their best grade;
A paper bag OF awful scent
Left a trail where er he went
Down the street four doors below
He made his way with spade and hos
And there he purchased seeds galore
OF the smiling owner of the store,
Who guaranteed each tiny seed
To grow and flourish like weed. s
Says he, "A gardens simple thing,
And think of the pleasure it will bring.
Ye gardener will spade and hoe
And plant those seeds IN many row
While cutworms chortle in their glee
At the tender sprouts which they fore,
see,
And doves will stand and watch the
peas
Which they can resurrect with ease.
Along about the last of May
The man with the hoe will look aud say
"Of growing things sadly lack
But I've a mighty fine plaster on my

IN the critical eyes Of the furrier
there Is a great, deal of difference in
skins OF animals OF the. same species.
For instance. 1t takes hundreds OF
sable skins to make long wrap, and
because the fur on the under side Of
the animal is always thinner than on
top, the sides. OF the pelts must be
tucked and sewn together in many
small seams to give the fur uniform
thickness. A fur cloak costing thous-
ands of dollars is entirely the work
of experts.
