Plenty of Exercise

With the coming of spring, physicians and
physical directors call attention to the advantage
of taking walks and spending as much time as
possible outdoors. This observation holds true,
however, not only in spring, but also in winter.
We spend entirely too much time indoors during
the entire year.
The surrounding country gives us plenty of
opportunity for enjoyable pedestrian trips. The
scenery is not monotonous, but so varied that
one wonders why more persons do not take long
pedestrian trips over the hills and along the val
leys of the county.
And why not visit Glen Miller park more fire.
quently? Here is park that has no equal in
this section of the country. Many city would
give thousands of dollars if the park could be
moved to location near it, so that it's citizens
could enjoy the scenic beauties of the woodland.

Ripping Rhymes
NO RELIEF
BY Walt Mason

The statesmen swing their battle
axes, and cry, - te us the snaps, and
well cut down the frightful taxes that
cause your anguished yaps. Economy
will be our motto, our watchword, if
we win; ond if you vote, friends, as
you ought to, relief will soon begin"
When l was young and fresh and
tender, heard that stirring call; then
statesmen came in pomp and splen-
dor, and hired the village hall; they
told us rubes how we were bearing
the burden of the day; when they the
offices were sharing, our griefs would
fall away. Thus did they in the dis
tant ages, defend the public veal; and
still hear the windy sages put up the
same old spiel. And taxes still are
mounting, mounting, the burdens far
too big, and we're forever busy count
ing the bucks we have to dig. The tax
collectors, hot and painting, are always
at our heels, and still the statesmen,
wilding ranting, put up the same old
spells. And it is strange how we
surrender to every wordy hick. and
think we'll save some legal tender by
helping Tom and Dick Experience
has tried to teach us that statesmen
merely joke; and when the tax collect
ors reach US they always leave us
broke.
