GOODBYE SPRING
"WARY GRAHAM BONNER

Goodbye, Spring, l must be going"
said the blue Hepatica flower.
Goodbye, dear little Hepatica,"
said the Spring.
Now the Spring was dressed in all
Yher best. Oh, she was most gorgeous.
She wore a cap of beautiful olive
green leaves, so fresh and pretty and
new. and her hat was of many spring
flowers. 1t was a lovely hat.
Her skirt was of soft green moss
with new ferns decorating it, such
dear little delicate ferns.
Her shoes were of green moss and
her shoe laces were of lovely tall
green grasses.
Her waist was of spring blossoms
and was so pretty, and had sprinkled
over her a perfume which all of the
spring flowers and shrubs and trees
and grass had given to her as a gift
from all of them.

Real estate m the closest to
the people of almost any other bust
ness or activity. Many-indeed, l
think most-of the great social revo-
lions Of the past have involved In
one way or another the question OF
real estate or the ownership OF real
estate, and President Edwards has
wisely said that the matter Of home
building and home ownership Is OF
vital consequence. l hope the real es-
tate board will have a home of Its
own, and / hope that, through the ac-
tivities Of the members Of your board
home ownership will be extended as
widely as possible among u people
because no other thing can contribute
so directly to good citizenship as
the extension Of the number of home
owners.-Governor Nathan L. Miller
at the annual banquet Of the real es
tate board of New York.

Thoraau az "rramp"

What made Thoreau attractive7 He
was a tramp. Any man who goes to
Jail because he won't pay taxes must
be. If he'd been content to live In
Concord in a house, fleece his neigh
bors and pay his share of the tax levy
he would have been looked up to by
them. But he wasn't. He built a hut
near Walden Pond, bathed in the cool
ing waters Of the lake at sunrise to
the chorus Of awakening birds, hoed
his own beans and probably stole
apples from the orchards of close
listed Yankee farmers to exc out an
existence. Thoreau lives today, but
the farmers are as dead as the breed
of politicians that he refused to sup
port.-Exchange.
