WAITING
BY John Burroushs
serere 7 fold my hands and wait.
Nor care for wind nor tide. nor sea:
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For 10! my own shall come to me.
I stay my haste. I make delays.
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways.
And what Is mine shall know my face.
Asleep. awake. by night or day.
Tho friends seek are seeking me-
No wind can drive my bark astray
Nor change the tide Of destiny.
What matter II stand alone?
wait with Joy the coming years:
My heart shall reap where It has sown
And gather W its fruit Of tears.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
Tho tidal wave comes to the sea;
Nor time. nor space. nor deep. nor high
Can keep my own away from me.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs In yondcr heishts
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.

thinking what you can do to change
It's outward appearance by some clever
touch! Wonders have been accom-
plished with a belt, a collar, a frill

And then, perhaps, the shoes or the

things throw a whole frock into dis
repute and the influence they exert is
so SLY and subtle that you hardly sus-
pect them until you delve deeply into
their characters.

Flat Fur Scarfs.

A long, fiat fur scarf is an excellent
thing to own. 1t serves so many
purposes for a girl who wants to b9
well dressed at all times. You can
wear 1t with a suit. You can wrao
1t around your throat when a topcoat
needs extra warmth. You can wear
1t in early spring as your only wrap,
and you can use it to throw over your
shoulders in the evening when, sud
denly, you are subjected to chilling
blasts Of air.

KEEP HOGS QUIET
DURING SHIPMENT,
SHIPPERS ADVISED

Keep your hogs quiet during ship
ment," is advice given to Wayne
county shippers by the new co-opera-
tive firm at Indianapolis.
1t has been the practice of the hand
lers of swine at the Indianapolis mar
ket to go among the pens frequently
and stir EN- up" in the attempt TO
get larger fill on the hogs. Instead
of accomplishing this, the actual result
is to make the hog lose weight. often
more than is taken on in feed, and the
practice has been abandoned at all
other markets, persisting only in
Indiana
In consequence of abolition of this
custom by the new firm, market
| weights have been generally satisfac
| tory to shippers who have consigned
their stuff TO the Producers company
First rank among the Indianapolis
firms was taken in the second week oil
operation, when the company handled
90 car loads of stock. The next larg
est amount handled was 81 cars This
position was a jump from the fourth
place, which was achieved during the
| first week.
