stranger who. if Sammy jay were

Peter decided that the dear Old Briar-

he should know more about this
stranger. Peter felt quite safe in the
Old Briar patch. and. after all. there
was nothing more important than be-
ing safe. If every one thought of
safety first all the time this would be
a lot better world to live in, because
there would be so much less sadness.
But if Peter couldn't go into the
Green Forest he could ask questions
of those who had been there and that
came his way. And Peter did. Tom

Letters From the People


Dear Editor: We have come thro
Florida, stayed over Sunday in Key
West, attended the M. E. Sunday
School and heard Rev. Jones preach.
The weather is ideal. The cocoanut
palms were plentiful and full of fruit.
Saw no orange or lemon trees there.
The flowers were large and many
hued. Gardens are very scarce. The
biggest turtles l ever saw were there.
l was told they weighed 500 pounds.
They were two feet one way and two
and half the other. Were kept in
pens and slaughtered when needed
for meat and soup.
Came to Havana this morning.
Came in by the old Moro Castle
where Gen. Hobson was imprisoned
during the PHILIPPINE war. We find
the city of Havana very congested.
The sidewalks are wide enough for
only one person to walk and you can
step from the walk on the street car
in many places. There are some wide
nice ones. We went to the Y.M.C.A.
building and found good streets there.
We have seen none of the country
nor vegetation tho the markets are
full of vegetables.

Until recently little thought has

Februaries may come and Feb
ruaries may go, but Februaries do
not come the same every time.
The fruit buds were frozen. the
water pipes froze and the river
froze too, so that the young people
enjoyed the sport of skating all
thru the month of February. But
that February has gone and a few
days ago a new February came.
This time it came in with a warm
sunny day, it brought with it the
thot of spring. the robin, the black
bird, the opening of buds and
blooms. The strawberry and APP
ricot are about to show their bios
SONS. It did not bring huge chunks
of ice in the river but a rise in
the flow caused by this Februarian
warmth. 1t did not bring ice skat-
ing but roller skating.
Just what does February mean
to you? To us it means the close
of the basketball season and the
beginning of the baseball prac-
tice- another period in our school
term. But the best of all is the
thot that it is helping in nearing
the end of our school year. Oh,
We think February is grand

And the answer is Civilization"
To prove this go into the noun

any island away from his fellow man
and the ordinary paths of civilization.
The effects are at once apparent.
Why? Because, under such condi-

SAYS LITTLE THEATER TO
 INFLUENCE DRAMATIC ART

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 15. (P)- Not Broadway, but ''the sticks" is the hope of art in the drama, believes Jesse Lynch Williams, the play wright. The man who wrote why Marry?" and other substantial suc- cesses is here as the holder of the 1926 Fellowship in Creative Arts at the University of Michigan.
 "Art is right enough in it's way,' MT. Williams said, "but I am afraid it's way lies far from Broadway. In the drama there is cold dollars and-cents proposition. Every con- tract contains stop clause, which means when your play fails to net $S,000 a week at a popular theater, out you go and somebody else moves in.
 s'New plays are failing like autumn leaves, and some of the old hands have been afraid to come into New York at all."
