Danny Sees a Queer Fisher

The truth Of this is very clear:
Familiar things are never queer.
Old Mother Nature.
Danny Meadow Mouse kept think

the beautiful white cousin OF Long

such sadness that he began to think

that the stranger had a long neck.
He had simply had 1t folded back on his
shoulders much as Longlegs folds his
back when he is tying. But the
queerest thing about this stranger
was hts bill. 1t was very long, and

on the stump he held his bill pointed

Danny was trying to get courage
enough to speak to the stranger when
the latter spread his wings and sailed
out over the water. Suddenly he
dropped into the water with a great
splash head first. A second later he

Our Birds in Verse
BY Henry Oldys
SCARLET TANACER.

Beauty? All, yes. thy beauty charms the eye
And were Poe's dictum true thou we'll nlightst be
The httest theme OF poets phantasy
Oh al that float the vernal sky.
But beauty holds the vision, not the soul
And soulless beauty clogs within hour
While long the re- ign and magnitied the powr
Where there is more than beauty 20 eltol.
So come. thou radiant one, and weud thy way.
Bearing thy torch in splendcr through the trees:
III sing tiny charm, but upon my knees.
And yield thee love but only for a day.

SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION
 HAS SOLVED MYSTERY

MOSCOW. May IA scientific ex- petition finaaced by the Russian gov ernment has solved mystery of 50 years standing by the discovery in Kurskof of a large field of magnetic iron ore. The field was found at depth of 500 feet in such quantities as to arouse hope that it may develop as one of the worlds largest deposits.
 Fifty years ago it was noticed that compasses at Kurskof instead of point ing North swerved as much as fifteen degrees, but hundreds of drillings by private concerns failed to locate the deposits, and it was not found until Lenine sent an expedition which drill- ed six months. .

Everything points to a success in the undertaking. Prof. Ed Bu- rettO, who will direct the organization, announces that all beginners will re- ceive private instruction at his home, careful attention being paid to ad- vancement and when the beginners have become sufficiently proficient they will be given place in the or ganization.

PLANS FOR CLEANUP
 DAY ARE ANNOUNCED

Friday, May 4, has been officially designated by the City Council and the local Red Cross as Clean-Up Day. It is expected that all rubbish, tin cans, etc., will be gathered up and placed in sacks in conspicuous place to be hauled off by city teams. This is in line with Health Week programs outlined by the Red Cross. Following the action of the citizens the health committee and Red Cross officials will inspect the premises of the town to see that the program has been car ried out.
 One of the features of Health Week will be a health exhibit at Borgen's grocery store next Saturday afternoon in connection with bake sale to be held by the Women's Club.

Some very beauti- full booklets made by the Juniors in Latouche will also be exhibited Sat urday and will later be sent to the Red Cross museum in Washington.
