GOING SOUTH
Rochester Herald)

(ROtucSlcT I1cIdlu)
Great flocks OF birds rising in
regular formation from fields of
stubble, or settling on the cat-tails
OF a marsh, remind the farmers
and vacatiOniStS that the North
will soon be no place for delicate
constitutions. The sparrOws, the
crows and few gulls may con-
time to hunt their meals about the
countryside, but most of the other
ward more generous ATTITUDES.
The annual rush Of travel South
ward is beginning in birdland.
1t is one of the constant and
abiding mysteries of nature that
the majority OF wild birds migrate
seasonally, with almost the regu-
larity of the earth's revolutions.
There are variations, to be sure,
but they are the more mystifying,
for they appear to give evidence
of Ore-knOwledge OF the wealth

When winter nips at the heels OF
August, the summer nesting pla-
ces are abandoned weeks earlier
than usual. and the flocks move
Southwark rapidly, even though
the days may still be warm. Usu-
ally, the migration is prophetic OF
weather changes, for when the
birds take wing early at the close
OF summer, the breath of winter
is felt soon afterwara' in these
Northern lake plains.
Just why the birds should go
South when there is no lack of
food to be had in the Northern
fields is Il puzzle to those natural
lists who believe migration is a
question OF food supply. In the
tropics there is food aplenty. Hav
ing reached Central America or
Brazil, therefore, why should the
Northern birds ever return to the
cold climates from which they flee
every autumn? 1t cannot be food
alone that drives them irresistibly
Northward in the spring and
Southwark in the fall for they
leave land of plenty in the South
in the spring, and a Northern land

WHAT A GERMAN THINKS

No one interested in the restoration of Europe should
vote for LaFolette and Wheeler against Coolidge and
Dawes The operation of the Dawes plan should be of in
terest to the German people of America who, while they
have severed all political ties with the land of their birth
still follow with interest, developments in the restoration

Germanys trade with this nation This is what Chancellor
Marx has say about the operation of the Dawes pan

Both the German people and the German Gov
eminent are keenly interested in successful con-
clusion of the negotiations under way in Lon
DON The German people sincerely desire it and are
prepared to do everything in their power to accom-
plish enforcement of the Dawes plan, particularly
as the results of the London Conference have
yielded sounder and healthy basis for
sumption of normal relations between Germany and
her former enemies than any previously suggested
solution of the reparatons problem. The German
people see in the loan means of stabizng Ger
many's finances, while it's failure on the other hand
would have a far-reaching detrimental effect on the
entire situation and might mean the collapse

THAT THIRD PARTY

Charles e. Hughes, secretary of state, has given
specially strong characterization of the third party viii
promoting the candidacy of Senator R. NJ. LaFollete.
; best told by direct quotations:
1.-The Third Party seems to live on suspicion and
calumny. 1t attacks every and everything but
itself. 1t would have you believe that everything
is rotten in business, in finance in diplomacy. You
would think that this is the unhappest country on
earth, whereas it is the country envied by all;
the country of highest wages, of the best living
conditions of the greatest opportunities, where
even the poor in everyday life have comforts and
convenences which most of the weto-do in other
countries do not enjoy. 1t is difficult to thwaft
economic forces by political action, but there is a
short political road to economic distress. You
not have progress without the security and expan-
sion of enterprise The extreme radicals have
never been able to understand why they could not
have the golden eggs after the goose was killed.
The dictatorship of the proletarat is the effort to
distribute eggs that are no more 1t would not take
much to destroy prosperity. All you have to
do is to shatter confidence. This would happen it
the Third Party should really approach success.
This would measurably result if the Third Party
could produce a deadlock in this election. l said
the other day that Senator LaFoette was aiming
to keep enough electoral votes away from Coolidge
70 prevent him from having majority and then
to put in Bryan as Vice President, who would be-
come President because of deadlock in the House
of Representatives. No, indeed! shout the sup
porters of Senator LaFollette. We will not make
Bryan Vice President, they say but Wheeler.
Well if anything could be worse than to put in
Bryan, it would be to put in Wheeler

was a taxi driver on Seventh avenue.
Seeing people peering up into the

"Oh, know you influenced him,

Alice, wheeling around. "Why should
he not want Karl as much as you,
and me as much as Leslie?"
Simply because Karl has never
been tied down to business in his
life, and he knew you were mar

"He loved Karl perhaps better
than he did me. He has known him
longer, and / presume Karl is more
lovable, but he knew that l from

WINDS

Wind of the Northland, buoyant and free
Bringing breath of that frozen Cline
Where the aurora borealis light the skies,
With radiance that is grand, sublime
What do you say you journey forth?
Lord of the Air with the beard of SNOW
Turning the pond to glare Of ice,
Causing destruction wherever you go.
Wind of the Eastland, courageous and strong,
Swift the huntsmans speeding bow,
You rush; at the sound of your strident voice,
While you and sigh stormy night,
Like some tortured soul that has been condemned
To the depths of darkness. forever banned,
From the frOWn of foe and the smile OF friend
Wind OF the Southland, with perfumed breath
OF spice and myrrh from the Orients,
Pictures of caravans fall and rise y
Then shadOwy palm and a Tapping tent
Where the travellers rest ere they journey on
Tired from the heat of their desert ride,
Glad for the respite of the night,
And the cleaning stars in the heavens Wide
Wind of the Westland, calm and serene
Like to the night when the day Is done
Softly descending from out the sky,
Bringing the JOY of some task we'll DONE
Silently, silently onward you steal =
Tanning the brow that is damp with sweat
Cooling the dips that parched and ttrv
Striving to make US forgive and forget.
