Didn't Like the Color

II can let you have 'twos,' lady, no
more one cent stamps" said the man
behind the window.
NO." replied the dreamy eyed
girl, "they won't do" and she stepped
aside to allow the woman who was
next in line to make her purchases.
She was still standing there as the
woman stopped a moment to put her
supply of stamps in her purse.
II just can't make myself use two
cent stamps" confided the girl:
they're such a dreadful color they
positively make me shudder and
they won't go with any kind of letter
paper. ] suppose I'll have to go up
ito the next post Office, but It's better
than using pink stamps. New York

Keep Fire Out of Woods

One Of the simplest details of fire pre-
vention lies in cleaning up the wood
lot to reduce the fire hazard says
the American Tree association. Cut
out all the dead trees and the weed
trees such as cherry, hornbeam and
gray birch. leaving enough partially
to shade the pines. The waste brush
should be piled and burned in place
and at time when there is no danger
from FIRE.
