Blown swiftly on by Billy Breeze

"Ha, hal" laughed Mr.. Happy Sun,
"If / could loaf awhile. what fun

But I must all the old world light.
My duty is to shine all day.

And to bring to bloom all things that

answered, I'm coming, mother.
"Strange," thought Lady Love, what
can be the matter?'
All of a. sudden out Of the Little
Red Barn hoped her bunny boy,
dragging behind him his little wagon.
"You have forgotten to bring in the

lady rabbit. "Oh, DEAR" sighed the
bunny boy, II was just going over to

Love, very seriously. What us the

little rabbit. But dear me. his voice
was not the sweet voice Of good lit
tie rabbit boy.
do you see Mr.. Happy Sun in the
SKYE" asked Lady Love, pointing up
to the blue heavens. "All day long
he shines down on the earth. except
when it needs rain, to make the flow
ers and vegetables grow. Every day
he does his work without murmur.
Can't my little bunny boy bring in
the kindling wood for mother with
out pouting?"
Just then Bobbie Redvest from a
treetop began to sing:
every day little work,
Singing all the while,
Then away to romp and play.
With a happy smile.
Helping Mother. Goodness me!
That happy task should be.
Think Of all the tender care
That with you she loves to share"

positions, largely recruited from
those with a high sense Of civic
duty and willing to make sacrifices

influences have had anything to do
with the present arrangement, there
Is good reason to recognize the
trustworthy and efficient who have
been engaged in the work under dis

It would seem that the regional
arrangement with definite placing Of
responsibility would soon reveal any

services rendered seems peculiarly
fitting in the recognition, that We

peculiarly difficult conditions. He
has q task that a regional director
would find difflcult in addition to his
other duties. What with $500 miles

Poplars
The poplar is a lonely tree,
It has no branches spreading wide
Where birds may sing or squirrels
hide.
1t throws no shadow on the grass
Tempting the wayfarers who pass
To stop and sit there quietly.
The poplar is a slender tree,
1t has no boughs where children try
To climb far off into the sky.
To hold a swing. it's far too weak
Friendless, forsaken it must be.
The poplar is a restless tree,
At every breeze it's branches bend
And signal to the child. Come friend"
Its leaves forever whispering
To thrush and robin. "Stay and sing"
They pass. It quivers plaintively.
Poplars are lonely. They must grow
