More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

THE DEPTHS OF WICKEDNEss
A hen in England has been taught
TO lay her eggs in a crate, where
they need only be boxed in and sent
to market.
We never have, at any time,
BY word of mouth, or with our pen
In any style of prose of rhyme
Extolled the conduct of the hen.
But though we knew there was no
Of sense behind her squawl1ing
Till recently we did not dream
That she was base as well as weak.
We did not think that she would lay
Her Unmatched babes inside crate
SO that they might be borne away
To meet--well, you can guess what
fate.
We did not think fowl alive,
Of any sort or kind or brood,
With any farmer could connive
To make her children breakfast
food.
No doubt, when thus her eggs We're
lain
To better serve her masters need,
The hen in question would remain
And bolt an extra bit of feed.
Her heart to mother love was dead
No twinge of conscience did she
feel,
Although she knew the while she fed
Shed sold her babies for meal
Had she possessed the veriest dregs
OF feeling, had her heart been right
She might have hid away those eggs
Until her chicklets saw the light
Not she forsooth-she needs mus.
bring
Half way to market her own brood
Would that we had words to sing
Our loathing of such turpitude

Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON-The end of the year
1927 will see the United States leading
the world in aviation.
William p MacCracken, assistant
secretary of commerce, in charge Of
Dawson, assistant secretary of war,
in charge of aeronautics, corroborates
MacCracken. Edward Pearson War
ner, assistant secretary of the navy,
in charge OF aeronautics, corroborates
both McCracken and Dawson.
That makes it unanimous.
Incidentally according to Warren
Irving Glover assistant postmaster
general, in charge of aeronautics,
more mail already travels by air
routes in the United States than in
any other country.
Commercial aviation is at dis
advantage in America as compared
with Europe, because there it is
subsidized by the governments, while
here public sentiment will not permit
it. Only two American flying con
Germs are making money, MacCracken
reports, while the Others at best
are only breaking even, and some
are losing.
! MacCracken's problem is to en-
courage more Americans to travel
and ship by air.
Rates inevitably will be higher
here than abroad, because of the
foreign companies subsidies. That
however, does not matter so much
since Americans, having more money
can afford to pay more, and seem
f; inclined to have what they want
no matter what it costs.

TOUR WAS EDUCATIONAL

The 8-day tour on a special Great
Northern train which was made by &c
boys and girls, with their prize-win-
ming baby beeves, fat lambs, poultry
etc., following the great South ST.
Paul show, was highly educational
undertaking for which the Great
Northern Railway and L. w. Hill,
chairman Of its board, deserves great
credit.
The entire expense of the trip was
borne by the railroad company and
every comfort was provided for the
boys and girls and those who accom-
panied them, including a competent
chaperon and nurse. Twenty-eight
towns in Minnesota, North Dakota
and Montana were visited and stops
made to show the prize stock and
have the club boys and girls explain
what club work has done for them
and how they selected, raised and fed
their entry. Although the state club
leader and his assistants were pres
emit and introduced the kids at each
it was the boys and girls
themselves who put over the message
of club work to the thousands of 9TH
er boys and girls and their parents
who attended the various meetings.

tractive feature the following article
from the Brown County Journal, pub

Just before the final freeze-up Carl
Pfaender, local landscape architect
and his helpers completed the major
part of the reconstruction planting
at the "Way of the Cross" at the
Loretto hospital. The remaining
work will be completed early in the
spring.
The "Way of the Cross" is point
of interest to many visitors to our
city. Hardly a day passes without
several visits by out-of-town visitors.
Very often it is the most remembered
spot in the memory of a visitor to
New Ulm and it is often the case that
when one travels and runs across a

New Ulm, he will say, "Oh, that's
the place where that beautiful "Way
of the Cross" is.
In recent years the paintings have
been somewhat neglected and over
grown and with view of remodel
ing the plants and beds and walks,
Sister Superior M. Casilda, called
the local landscape man, and work at
reconstruction was started after some
delays. Carl Pffaender visited the
"Way of the Cross" quite often dur

work. There were many plants that
had been planted in recent years, but
had been planted without a plan and
so created no effect to beautify the
architectural surroundings. After
much study and collaboration with
Sister Casilda, the work was started

and within a few weeks the greater
part of the work was done.
The "Way of the Cross" is really
an asset to New Ulm and should be
assisted. Although some income is
received through the offerings by Wis
itors, who place small amounts in the
box at the grotto for that purpose,
the greater part of the finances is re-
ceived from the hospital association.
It takes quite an amount to keep the
place in good shape and local people
are urged to bring visitors up to see
the interesting places of worship and
especially next summer when the
new paintings will come into leaf
and blossom.
Thousands of lilies of the valley
have been put into single mass beds,
which will be a mass Of flower and
perfume in spring. A large bed of
choice peonies has been planted and
in early spring bed of fine ferns
will be arranged. Although the first
year will not show things up to adj
vantage, in another year the flower

fects. The row of bridal wreath will
look like snow banks in early May,
to be followed by sweet scented mock
orange blossoms and later hydrangea.
