KANSAS CROPS l RAZED BY HAIL

Robinson, Kan. (UP)-Farmers of this section are now blowing fields where only a few days ago green crops grew, after the most severe and most freakish hailstorm in the memory of lifelong resi- dents here.
 The storm, which struck with out warning, left solid sheet oi ice over the green. fields. Twenty hours later farmers still were sacking ice for home use. The pei itets ranged in size up to Jumps as large as billiard balls. Roofs of houses and barns were punctured, hundreds of windows were broken, all birds in the area were killed. and every fruit tree was stripped bare. Corn was mow-

ROSES ALONG THE LINE

A blur of color, profuSlon of pink Smiling up the blue of the sky A bit of beauty greeting us all As the train goes gliding by Rambling and tumbling the banks Covering the cuts with their vine, Placed by the men of the New Haven Road The along the line. Alone in the seat across from us sits, With his eyes on the window sill, A grief-strcken man who is on his way To see his son who IS Ill. But happily then his gaze is drawn To flash of pink outside: And the sight of the rose vine brings new hope To cheer his lonely ride. A mother tired and desperate. Vainly rocks her fretful boy. Impatient with the long hot trip And wearied of every toy. And then the child of sudden sees The roses beside the train And with cry of delight he sits With his pressed to the pane. Over there in that corner of the car Are pair on their honeymoon. Finding joy in the look of each others eyes And the spell of day in June And while they are planning their hometo.be. The roses meet their view And we smile as we hear him say to her. Our house will have roses too" wonder how many gre the lives they have touched.
