t'People are buying cars now to go

never lose sight of the fact that de-

the basic requirements for satisfae.

not worry when 1 hear

do not worry when l hear
That spots upon the sun betoken
That sometime in the coming year
The season sequence will be broken,
That, following some cosmic urge
Which has direction of the weather,
The spring and fall are going to merge
And leave out summer all together.
I never yet have penned rhyme
And for a good sufficient reason
That sang the praise of summer time
Or tried to "sell' the pesky season.

With honest love for spring he
wrought 'em,
And I applaud John Keats lay
Which said a pleasant word for au-
tumn.

When wreaths of heat the skies en-

When myriad mosquitoes come
To interfere with peace and slum-

And though perhaps you'll not be-
lieve it
Upon my sould I cannot see
Why M. Tosti mourned to leave it,
should not mourn at all in case
The season which we term as
heated"
The hand of nature should efface,
I'd like to see it ute deleted.
To me it always was a Dust"
Parched, dry oppressive, sere. and

And if it goes next year I trust
That it will be long, long returning.
