NOISE
It causes us little amazement to
In the midst of our sorrows and
joys
That our cars are assaulted at every
turn
And the curse of existence is noise
The milkman awakes us each morning
at four
with his clinkity, clankety sounds
And shortly thereafter we writhe at
the roar
or the motor trucks making their
rounds.
II we live in the country, the cackle
of hens,
The ncighbors bellgerent dog
And the grunts and squeals of the
pigs in their pens
Keep us always alarmed and agog.
The rumble of railroad trains over
the way
The caws of the crows In their
flight,
And the lowing of cattle make noise
through the day
And the owls take the job up at
night.
If we life in the city, the footing of
horns
And professions of cars never cease
TO puncture our eardrums like so
many thorns-
And ruthlessly rob us of peace.
The cries of the hawker, the yell of
the COP,
And the thump of his flat footed
tread
AS he follows the bandit and bcgs
him to stop,
Send US nerve-racked and trembling
to bed.
Notwithstanding, we often tonight
clubs repair
And tarry there calm and serene
AS we list to the saxorhone's ear
splitting blare
And the clink of the tin tambourine
Fer after the clamoring sounds Of

Have destroyed our aplomb and our
pose
There is nothing in life that is nearly

WASHINGTON-At the time the
late Herbert Quick, novelist, historian
of the mid west and former farm
loan bureau member, died, he and his
son, Edward, were collaborating on
a book, to be called mississippi
Steamboatin'."
The elder Quick had done none of
the actual work when death claimed
him but he and IS son discussed
the prospective volume fully.
The latter, familiar with all his
fathers IDEAS and in possession Of
the wealth of historical material he
had gathered, accordingly went ahead
with the task and the book has
Just appeared in Washington.
The work is unusual in that it
bears, together with his sons, the
name of a widely known author who
was no longer living when the first
chepter was written. 1t might vary
well have been from his own hand,
however for it has all the dis
tinguishing Quick earmarks.

This really is the stinger in the

pages to getting the reader interested
fer the sake of a few paragraphs
calling attention to the fact that
it's shame we lost this economical
means of transportation.
