good world!

good world! And to think that one poem-one
 Maybe you read it, my little poem. It was not much. but it was all my own; wrote it all, every word of it: 70, Christmas Day has como again. the day of love and cheer, the day when love is everywhere and all we love are dear. o, brighter grows our love for all, we love them fond and true-our relatives both far and near and aunt and uncle too" Like that, all written out like Walt Mason writes them, so you don't know they are poetry until you have read . couple of lines, and then you go ahead and read the rest even if it is poetry, to sec if he has skipped rhyme any where. called it 70, Happy Dayl o Joyous Day!. and it was printed in the newspaper with my name on it and forgot all about ito Forgot all about it! Think of that-I forgot all about it And it has meant so much, so very much, to mel o. it has made this the happiest happiest day of my life!
 Because it was Christmas Eve-last night, you understand-when Uncle Henry happened to pick up the newspaper and saw my poem He was looking to see what Liberty bonds were quoted at and what the Federal Reserve Bank rate on redis- counts was, and he saw my poem, with my name on it. And he growled-growled like bear.
 "Fooli Idiot! Rapscallion" he growled, mean ing me- Miserable loafer wasting his timeawrit- ing trash! Listen to this, Jane: Q Christmas Day has come again, the day of love'- Poppycock Nonsense! Less love day like this than any day of the year, and you know it, and know it, and this puppy-fool of nephew of mine knows it!'
 aYes, Henry" said my Aunt Jane meekly
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-12-24

70 Christmas Day has come again. the day of love and cheer, the day when love is everywhere and all we love are dear,'" Uncle Henry read sneer- ingly. Sentimental sush! Hypocritical bunk! Lsten-'O brighter grows love for all, we love them fond and true-our relatives both far and near, and aunt "-
 What say Henry?" asked Aunt Jane.
 " Our relatives both far and near and aunt repeated Uncle Henry, reading the line again, but his voice was strangely unsteady. "'And aunt "-he repeated. feeling in his pocket for his handkerchief "'And aunt -
 He put his handkerchief to his eyes.
 "'And aunt and uncle, tool" read dear Aunt Jane over his shoulder quaveringly.
 Dear Uncle, Henry did not, I think, hear her, for he was sobbing into his handkerchief.
 "It's lovely, Henry" whispered Aunt Jane.
 "Lovely?" cried Uncle Henry Iovely, wom- an? It's noblei It's grand! It's uplifting! o! And all you call it is lovely!"
 He leaped from his chair and strode up and dswn his sumptuops room.
 My nephew" Le cried, "writes a poem-a poem that tears asunder the bars of my bosom and wrings my heart, and all you say is that it is 1ovely' He writes the words Q brighter grows our love for all. we love them fond and true-our relatives both far and near-and aunt and uncle too," and you say lovely! My nephew writes a poem that makes a changed man of me- that opens new vistas of hope and love and-and forth-to me, and you say 1ovelyl Jane, this poem will change the worldi It will remake hearts! It will bring love and-and love into the world My nephew has done great, wonderful thing! Read it to me again, Jane!"
 n EAR Aunt Jane read my poor little poem again, and for several minutes my dear uncle
 and my dear aunt wept each others shoulders.
 "Ah, Jane," said Uncle Henry then "you little know how much this means to me! I was becom- ing a hard, cruel, grasping old man, but he has changed me! Jane"-
 s"Yes, Henry?"
 "What were you going to give our nephew for Christmas 2"
 "A Christmas card" Aunt Jane faltered 'It was not much. It was only picture of Santa Claus'-
 "A 10-cent card? with a special envelope and a Christmas seal on the back :" asked Uncle Henry
 sNo, it was postcard; it was one-cent post card." said Aunt Jane

"It will not doin declared Uncle Henry. For my nephew, who has written the words 'O brighter grows love for all, we love them fond and true "a penny postcard, even with picture of Santa Claus on one side and This side for the address only on the other is not enough No; you must put on your coat, Jane, and hurry down and buy 10-cent Christmas card In regular envelope, Jane! And we will put two Christmas seals on tho back of the envelope Wait!"
 Aunt Jane paused. Uncle Henry read my little poem again. For moment emotion choked him.
 "Jane,' he said brokenly, "he is noble ladi Jane, when you go out to buy the card also buy pair of socks-for hm Buy Wait!
 It was growing dark in the room now. for day was dying and Uncle Henry walked to the window. The newspaper was in his hand.
 70 Christmas Day has again, the day of love and cheer, the day when love is everywhere and all we love are dear.' All love, Jane, aunt and uncle too! Even his cross, hard-fsted old unc-unc-uncle!"
 For moment or two nothing was heard in that room but sobs. Nothing but sobs! Then Uncle Henry turned from the window and walked to his desk.
 "Jane," he said "you need not go out. You need not buy Christmas card and pair of socks I am going to send the boy check"
 Henry! check! real check, req! bank? For-for how much, Henry? For-$1o?"
 
 hoped, poor old dear, that if she said "$10" Uncle Henry might at least make check out for s5.
 "Ten~ dollars?" Uncle Henry almost shouted. "Ten dollars, to my nephew who wrote such poem? Ten dollars, Jane? I am going to make out check for 1,00Ow
 "It is noble! It is splendidP Aunt Jane breathed, putting frail hand lovingly on his shoulder. You good man, Henry!"
 "No! No, not if send that boy paltry s1 ,000," said Uncle Henry. "What is money when mans life has been made noble and true in a minute after years of sin and seIfshnesse- Jane we will send the boy $10000 With love, Jane-with your love and mine"
 He dipped his pen in the ink. and hesitated "Jane," he said, "what is money compared 3 the joy and peace of heart this boy has brought to us in his precious words? We are rich, Jane; we have wealth. To give $10,000 will be no more to us than it would be for him to give dime to beggar. Is that the way to show our grati- tude?- dime to beggar! Shall l make the (Concladed anotber page).

That's the word--blessed; that's the only word that does describe it; happy and blessed, and grateful to dear, dear Uncle Henry.

4th of July in this park, and should
| live until another year ! shall be
with them again. have seen crowds
and cars in Arnolds Park, Iowa,
which one can always expect but !
never expected to see the crowd IN
the park at Spillvile that there wa
on the Fourth. As | get it there
was in the neighborhood of four
thousand automobiles which l be-
lieve is a fact and it was estimated
that there were sixteen thousand
people. Think of this for a town
of four hundred people. Doesn't this
alone prove cooperation, good spirit
and good will. The music for the
day was rendered by the Calmar
and Spillville bands and the night
music for the dance was given by the
DEBORAH orchestra. / certainly en-
loved the music and | took off my
hat to the bands and orchestra. How
[ wished when | heard these bands
playing and the orchestra, that the
town in which am making my
home now, Humboldt, Iowa, and the
town that | think is a dandy, would
wake up and support band to en-
terrain US on every Saturday even
ing. Humboldt has musical talent
and | believe will some day support
a salaried band.
In driving around east Of the park
on the winding road, one can notice
lots of splendid farm properties,
especially around the Big Turkey
river. One of the places | noticed
in particular which is very notice
able is small cottage setting
lengthwise to the road. 1t is peb-
BILE dashed construction and on the
west entrance there is portgollio
porch which is certainly cute and
This little cottage has
the latest type of French windows,
and one thing in particular which
adds to this place and which is very
attractive and noticeable is the
chimney which is of the latest type
and in fact the kind that are being
built on all of the California bunga-
lows where it requires no smoke to
go through to soil them. The trees
and shrubbery. On this little farm Is
a beautiful flowing spring which
alone is worth thousands of dollars.
These little farms certainly are IN
viting to anyone DESTROYS of locat-
ing in an ideal country. 1t Is my
highest ambition to someday locate
in Winnesheik County on one Of
these little farms and make it my
future home.
Spillville citizens and people In
general are to be congratulated upon
their splendidly kept town, beauti-
full park, and fine farms. From one
who has made you a visit.

hundred feet deep. The water tastes
quite salty. Another pleasure | had
was driving my tin Lizzie onto a
ferry and we were taken across to
Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and
there was more of the most beautiful
scenery that one can think of. We
visited the button factory and the
clam shells that were piled out side
was a sight in itself. One can
readily see why the price of buttons
is high for they are not made in
second. 1t takes lots of skilled la
Dor. After returning back to Nc
Gregor we drove out to Pixies Peak
and this was one Of the hardest
climbs that my tin Lizzie ever had.
When we got to the heights we could
look out over the Mississippi for
miles and miles and it was sight
beyond explanation. In the river be-
low there were fishing boats drag
ging for clans. These boats were
quite good size when you were close
to them they looked about the size
of toy boats and the men the size
of pota.oe bugs. This scenery was
all eye openers to me.
