Hangs, white and calm, the hunters
moon.
In it's pale fire
The village spire
Shows like the zodiac's spectral lance;
The painted walls
Wherein it falls
TRANSPORTED stand in marble trance!
Stephen Henry Thayer puts it lit
tie later in the month when he says
that
1t is in the autumns dotage, mid No
vember.
When skies, seductive, seem to WOO
the earth.
Other poets, however, are more con-
cerned with what it is rather than
when it is and have given us some
charming descriptions. Sam Walter
Foss. in his inimitable dialect, calls
lowing verse:
.Natur," the coed cid school-marm
who pities our distress,
She gives her children every year
little glad recess;
An oil. gray-headed boys and girls,
they feel their hearts thaw out
An life flows on as musicly as wa
ter from spout;
An now the Ingin Summer time, 18th
all it's rest is here,
A piece of sweet meat stuck between
the slices of the year;
A sorter reign er jubilee 'twixt snow
an thunder showers;
A chunk of sweetness sandwiched in
between the frost and flowers.
Nor were the early American poets
the only ones who paid their tribute,
as witness the following by Marian
Isabel Angus:
INDIAN SUMMER rs
Indian summer broods today
Over the mellow autumn lands,
Soft wispy wells of amethyst
And amber pale stream from her
hands.
Vines hang heavy with purple grapes;
Apple trees bend with crimson gems.
And in the woods the great oak trees
Are crowned with golden diadems.
Like topazes the pumpkins lie
Set in ring of brown and green,
And mock the sun, while slender spears
OF goldenrod make gay the scene.
Nature is drowsy: her work is done,
Now she awaits her winter rest;
Harvest is over; the tired brown earth
Will sleep with red leaves on her
breast.
And Minna Irving paints this gayly-
colored word picture of
INDIAN BLANKETS
Sumac fires are burning brightly,
Ruby-red the embers glow,
Indian council fires rekindled
From the ash of long ago;
And the winds a runner passing
With his feet in deerskin shod,
And a chiefs tall feather losses
In the dusty goldenrod.
Wild grapes ripen in the thicket,
Purple asters edge the stream,
And the braves to earth returning
BY the moons enchanted beam
Hang their red and yellow blankets
On the windy maple bough
When the frosty night is over.
For it's Indian summer now.
Another famous dialect poet, Frank
L. Stanton, writing Of Indian summer
in his native state of Georgia, declares
that

PARK PROGRAM
First Step Taken for Plan

Bloomington.

BIZ Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. May Is
Civic leaders here hail as one OF the
greatest steps toward an improve
ment program in Bloomington's
history the first reading before the
city council of an ordinance which
would provide $55,OOO for a park
expansion program and payment of
all park board Indebtedness.
Preceding the vote of the coun-
Gil, DR.. Fred Prov, park board
chairman, announced that the
Showers Brothers Company had
agreed to donate for park purposes
all of its land north of Seventeenth
street, between Walnut and College
avenues, on which the park board
proposes to construct an elaborate
boulevard and ornamental walk.
Donation Of the land owned by
Jacob Miller, adjoining the Showers
tract on the north, also is prac-
tically assured, DR.. Prov said
The motion to adopt the bond is
sue resolution was made by Charles
BarnhilI. All members Of the coun-
Gil voted in favor Of the issue with
the exception Of Councilman Blair
who explained that he favored WHIP
ing out the park Indebtedness, but
opposes purchase Of additional land.
Provides for $4,000 Payment
Final action by the council in the
issue would provide payment Of
$4,000 in debts incurred by the
board principally in development Of
the Third street project, and allow
purchase of additional land north
of the municipal golf links ora
which to extend the course to eight
cen holes.
Donation of the Showers land and
the Miller land would assure resH-
cation of one of the dreams of the
park board the conversion Of what
is now unsightly land at the north
of the city to be beautified into an
attractive parkway approach, run
ming from the Dixie highway at a
point where it is joined by the Mat
lock road, south about 1900 feet to
Seventeenth street. The combined
land to be given the park system
comprises about eighteen acres.
Bond Sale Assured
The ordinance would authorize is
suance Of bonds for $4,000 at AZ
per cent interest. Some doubt was
as to the possibility of
selling such bonds at present. How
ever, William Adams, president of
the Bloomington National Bank,
told the council that while there
would probably not be ready mar
ket for the bonds at this time he
would see that they were taken over.
U. S. Hanna, Monroe county en-
gineer, explained to the council the
development of the park
way system north Of Seventeenth
street. including concrete drive
way eighteen feet wide with cutters
and walk six feet wide and tree
plot making in all a forty-one foot
extension of College avenue On the
west side.
