AMUSED BY QUAINT HUMOR

Had Edwin Markham, who was the
guest OF the Poetry society last even.
ing, never written a line OF verse in
his life, he would have thoroughly
delighted his audience at the Baptist
church Friday evening. His keen
sense of humor his dramatic delivery
and his personality would have won
him joyous welcome had his read
ings been the work of other pens.
Beginning with definition Of
poetry and its relation to life, lucud.

the dedication OF the Lincoln memor.

stoned reading of his masterpiece,

listeners and made a deep impression
upSa many who were Unfamiliar with

admirers of his works
Mr. Markham's attitude to his audi
ence was delightfully."- informal. He
told stories, laughed, poked quiet fun
at himself and others and yet tinged
every line he read with the color OF 4
rugged and beauty-loving personality
Net the least enjoyable of the poets
liberties with the great and solem2
muse was the frequent, lambent fash
OF true native wit.
After reading several poems, and q
number of his clever quatrains he
r. ed the Lincoln ode and later in re-
sponse to special request the mas
tefpiece. which he described as "a
protest against drudgery and an ap-
peal TO the brotherhood OF man.
The man in Millet picture Mr..
Marx ham described as a being "at
the bottom of the human pyramid,
v,'o ne ther faints, fears nor aspires;
who does rot even despair"

declared the poet, "are three things
that e~ery man is entitled to-"

think and things We feel Religion"

WEATHER FAvoRs BLIGHT

The blilit and tip burn are likely

known that the rotting OF potatoes in
storage is more or less closely con-
nected with the presence of blight IL
potato fields but such is the case.
Potato growers who wish to prevert
their "spuds" firm rotting next fall
should keep careful watch of thcir
plants and spray all new growth with
Bordeaux mixture at frequent inter.
walls.
Spraying at this late date may not
avail a great deal unless the fields
have been sprayed heretofore, and
still it may prevent or hinder a gen
eral epidemic. The new growth, not
present when the last spraying was
made, may be susceptible to blight
and likewise tip burn. Bordeaux
mixture is the panacea. Machines
which carry two nozzles to each row,
so adjusted to drive forcibly the
spray as a fine mist down into the
mass of foliage, is what is required
to satisfactorily protect the p'snts.
Experience shows that thorough and
frequent spraying of this sort is good
insurance against dreaded rot merit

BUILDING BOOM ON

June Contracts in 27 States Total
S343, ,44ooo New England
S3a.3ao. 900

Building contracts awarded during
June in the 27 northeastern states,
according to the f. W. Dodge com
pany. amounted to s343,440,0 600. Ex-
cept for the record figures Of April
and May of this year, this is larger
than any previous monthly total. 1t
is only per cent under the record
May figure, and shows a 90 per cent
increase over June of last year.
The continued high rate Of activity
has brought the total amount OF con-
struction started in the first six
months of this year up to $1,69O,9S4,-
600, which is by far the highest iigure
for the first half of any year. 1t Is
50 per cent greater than the figure
for the six-month period OF 1871.
In the six months record ere the
following items; 1852, $4,000 tor res.
identiall construction, an increase OF
SO per cent over the corresponding
period OF 1921; $2SS, $4,000 for pub
lie works and utilities, being 10 per
cent over last year; $2SO,329,OOO for
business buildings, "a per cent more
than last year; $164,641.OO0 for educa
tional buildings, 5S per cent over last
year; and $123,1Sl, 600 for industrial
plants, an increase of AZ per cent
over the corresponding period OF
last year.

from January / to Ju'y | has amount
ed to slightly over three billion dol
lars. compared with $l.690,OOO 600 for
work actually started in the same
period.
1t seems not unlikely that the re
naming summer months may snow a
slight falling off from the extreme
hight rate of activity that has pre-
vailed during the second quarter OF
the year. However, there are local.
ties in the Middle West where the
revival has not yet gained the head

lowing the invitation Of the city
authorities the band Will use special
quarters in Central Park. continuing
the concerts on the same plan as in
past seasons at Columbia.

sounding board will be built which will
make it possible for the band TO be
heard clearly and perfectly through the
widest area and among the more than
10000 auditors, for whom seating ar
rangements will be made. Another
