Scythe Remains In

ROCHESTER, N. Y, March
9.The old .Scythe Tree near
Waterloo has been damaged by
the wind storms Of the past few
days. The tree has attracted
attention of historians because
Of q scythe blade that has re-
NAMED in its crotch since 1851.
The history Of the tree dates
back to the bombardment and
surrender Of Fort Sumter. Hear
ing the roll Of drums at Water
loo where q recruiting station
had been opened, Wyn1an John
son strobe from the fields and
hanging his scythe in the tree,
told his parents to leave it there
until he returned. He went to
the front never to come back.
The handle Of the scythe has
rotted away, and only the rusty

Room 112, Senate Office Building.
Here an official of the Veterans
Bureau is assigned with staff of
clerks and stenographers. His
function is to expedite and to give
special attention to the hospitaiiza-

The presence Of this official in
the Senate Office Building, and the
recognized preference given to

many Senators have felt that it

Veterans who have lacked political

On May 8 the new ship canal be-
tween the Mississippi river and Lake
Pontchartrain at New Orleans was
formally dedicated, though 1t had been
in use for several weeks before that.
The new canal makes 1t possible to
build great modern port with an eff

deposit and exchange of goods and
plenty of room for factories close to
the docks from which their products
will be shipped. 1t also enables ships
to make their way into New Orleans

and grew up as cow herder.
All the gopis adored him. The
gopis were mllkmaids, and Krishna's
dance with the milkmaids In the forest
Of Brindaban ranks as the greatest
accomplishment in his incarnation.
According to the popular legend
there were 1000 gopis, and each had
her separate Krishna dancing with
her, the god multiplying his person
ality among them so perfectly that
each milkmaid was conscious only
Of the joyous fact that she herself
had for her partner the Lord of Love.
One reads that birds and bees and
flowers whirled around the heads of
the dancers, and that passionate night
forgot to draw its curtain to let day
in, but heightened into cons, making
nonstop dance record for all time.

Mark Twain In his early days was

"Old Subscriber: Finding a spider
in your paper was neither good nor
bad luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over our paper to see
which merchant is not advertising. so
that he can go to that store. spin his

Non-advertisers may view this with
sense of implied sarcasm. But II Is
not. The greatest business men in
