What Others Think

For country like this, that is too poor to balance
the budget without imposing additional taxation it is
a puzzle where all these millions for political purposes
are coming from. Millions for politics, but too poor
to even feed the grasshoppers.- Sherburn Advance
Standard
Only one voter in three took the trouble to vote at
the primary election which is rather surprising slant
at human nature. One would imagine from the condi
ton of country that polls would be blocked with
people wanting to avenge fanced wrongs.-Lake Will

wish there were some wonderful place
Called the Land Of Beginning Again,
Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches,
And all of selfish grief,
Could be dropped like shabby old coat at the
And never put on again.
wish we could come it all unaware,
Like the hunter who finds lost trail;
I wish that the one whom our blindness had done
The greatest injustice of all
Could be at the gates like an old friend who waits
For the comrade he's gadest to hail.
We could find all the things we intended to do
But forgot and remembered-too late
Little praises unspoken, little promises broken,
And all of the thousand and
Little duties neglected that might nave perfected
The day for one less fortunate
1t couldn't be possible not to be kind
In the Land of Beginning Again,
And the misjudged and the whom
grudged
Their moments Of victory here
Would find in the grasp of our loving clasp
More then penitent lips could explain
For what had been hardest we'd know has been
best,
And what had seemed loss would be gain;
For there isn't sting that will take wing
When viewed freed it and laughed it away;
And think that the laughter is most what we're
after,
In the Land of Beginning Again.
So wish that there wonderful place
Called the Land of Beginning Again,
Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches,
And all poor selfish grief
Could be dropped like shabby old coat at the
door
And never put again. Anonymous.

~ ENJAMIN FRANKLIN was con-

the eagle should be our chosen
IL national bird. It is truly Amer
ican and ranged the Atlantic
Coast as far as the Dakotas and from
Southern Ontario to Southern Mexico.
To the early settlers it furnished an
abundance of delicious meat, and they
did not domesticate these fowls, because
they were easy to get and no trouble to
raise. They could be bought years later
for cents apiece! The Indians and the
white man killed them by the thou
sands, and as the country was coming
to be used for agricultural purposes and
the forests were felled and cleared, the
turkey moved back into the dense woods
or on to quieter surroundings.
The turkey is a handsome, stately
creature, with a glossy, greenish-bronZe
plImage, bright red head and legs, and
the feathers of the neck, breast and
body tipped with velvety black. The
male has a long bunch of bristly hairs
dangling from his breast and an old
patriarch will have them so long they
drag the ground. From the head hangs
a single pencil-like waffle.
The love song is shrill gobble The
turkey maiden, sitting close by, will
answer with a sad little yelping note.
The suitor then sails majestically from
his perch and begins to strut up and
down the cleared space before her He
begins to show off" by spreading his
handsome tail, his dewlap and warty
neck are brilliant crimson and, drop
ping his wings, he struts slowly up and
down the path with a most satisfied
air Then he sucks the air until his
windbag is all ''puffed up" and he is
the picture of self-importance.
All goes well until more aggressive
sujtor appears. A fight enSues, and
feathers, blood and turkeys are soon a
swiriing mass. To the victor goes the
harem and the defeated one goes to
rest up and later starts another
fight with newcomer. If unsuccessful.

OUR CHILDREN

What kind of toy.
i madam?"
"Oh, just some little thing
that he can play with. have to take
him something Any bright, attractive
toy will answer"
"How's this tumbling man? You
wind him like this and he does Ike
this"
How much does he cost?"
"Thirty-five cents. Shall wrap him
up?"
The little boy gets another toy. He
twists the key and watches the man
turn over and over and then lie still.
He winds him again and watches. Each
time his interest grows less and less,
until by the tenth time he has wound
him and watched him he has had
enough. Perhaps by that time the
spring is gone anyway The tumbling
man lies around the house for few
days. He is picked up from under the
chair, from the top of the radio, from
the table, until somebody loses patience
and throws the thing out. That Is the
life story of many and many toy.
like the tumbling men and their
relatives for the Christmas stockings.
All children like some junk in their
playbox. But when they are fed to
children all year round there is little
pleasure in them and much waste.
The attraction a toy holds for child
is it's promise of activity. Not its own
activity. The child wants the activity
for himself. His whole being is CEN
tered on doing something. If he can
is content. The thing that let's him
work himself out well is the thing he
likes the best. And it is the thing
he ought to have The more he can do
with his plaything the better it is for
him and the more he likes it.

TURKEY.

The father does not see his family
until they are almost grown. In fact,
the mother, knowing his jealous dispo-
sition. has seen to it he did not, for he
has been seen to fly into a jealous rage
and break all the eggs and kill the
chicks.
The famous sun dance Of the tur-
keys takes place at daybreak. 1t begins
at the crack of dawn and is not unlike
the dance of some of the Indian tribes,
with weird, jerky movements and queer
noises. The leader is an aged old fell
low who can make the most noise with
his rattles. The ladies sing, "Quit,

HERE BEFORE THAT TRAPPER
CONES" THOUGHT BOBBY.
But always he had been free to do
something if he could think what to
do, so that always he had had hope
Now he could do nothing or SO it
seemed. That dreadful trap, its hard
cruel jaws biting into his leg so re-
lentlessly, was fastened by short
chain to small log He was held
prisoner and hope died within him
He struggled and struggled, although
every movement he made hurt terribly
He stopped only when he was SO ex-
hausted that he could struggle no
longer. Then for a long time he lay
there painting. His leg had begun to
swell, and after a time it became a
little numb, SO that it did not hurt quite
so much. Plying Old Mother Nature
was thus trying to ease his suffering.
But there was no way for her to ease
the terrible fear of hopelessness.
When he had regained his strength
somewhat he began to struggle again
with little whimperS and means. You
see, every movement hurt so. 1t would
have been easier to have just remained
quiet, but for that awful hopeless fear
BY and BY daylight would come and
with it would come that two-legged
creature who had set this dreadful trap.
Bobbysknew what would happen then.
So he just couldn't keep still while he
had strength to struggle.
And then it happened Bobby felt
something give. At first he didn't real
1ze what it was. But presently he dis
covered that he was no longer held
close to the log. He was free! At
least he was free from that log. The
6rQqHff,1 fy-oYa cfi1I n, 1,r,
no sign OF letting go, but he was no
longer held in one place; he could move
about. Sobegan dreadful Journey.
1--WE got to get away from here be-
fore that trapper comes,' thought
Bobby. I've got to get where he can't
find me. must reach my hollow tree.
Yes, sir, that is what must do, reach
my hollow tree. Once I get in there
he never will be able to find me-"
SO Bobby started for his home in the
Green Forest, shutting along as best
ne could on three legs. 1t was slow
work. 1t was hard work. 1t was painful
work. Every step hurt, for that trapped
leg was swollen and oh, SO painful
it would have been bad enough. but
now he had to drag it on a terribly
hurt leg. Do you wonder that he
whined and moaned now and then as
he shufIied along?
The dragging chain would become
entangled in the brush or catch on
stick or root and bring Bobby up short
with little yelp of pain It did seem
to him. that he just couldn't go on
But he did go on. So all through the
long night the twinkling stars looked
down through the branches of the
Green Forest and saw such sad sight,
a little person in fur who had gone
happily out for his last meal before
the long Winter sleep, now painfully
hobbling and hitching along toward
home, stopping frequently to pant and
rest, often thrown off balance by the
catching of that dragging chain, tor
tured by every step. faint from pain
and effort, time and again almost ready
to give up, but gritting his teeth and
plodding on. A dreadful. dreadful
journey it was that beautiful night, a
journey Of pain and terror and despair
And so at last Bobby Coon came to
the foot of the hollow tree

HOOR, poor Bobby Coon. BY his
- right fore leg he was held
fast in a cruel steel trap that
i was biting in almost to the
bone How It hurt! The pain
was so great that it seemed to him he
couldn't bear it. Yet he must bear it,
for there was no way of stopping 1t.
This dreadful pain would in itself have
been bad enough, but added to it was
a terrible fear, fear in which was utter
hopelesSness
Bobby had had dreadful fear before,
more than once. He had had to run
for his life from dogs and hunters with
terrible guns, and sometimes it had
seemed that he couldn't possibly escape.

Wants the Name of a
Bug Found i'm Luray

To the Editor of The Star:
In your paper for July was an ar
ticle telling about new bug" found
in Luray, Va, which I found very in
teresting. This bug sounds to me very
much like one variously known as
Mormon fly, Willow fly or May fly"
along the course Of the Mississippi
River around Illinois, Iowa and Mis-
souri,.
This bug is about the size and ap-
pearance of small dragon fly or over
grown mosquito. II has a long, flexible
abdomen ending in two or three long
hairs Their wings are semi-trans-
parent and gauzy, and are held as but
terf1les hold theirs when at rest. They
come from damp places or water at
night, and live only about "a hours
They are attracted to lights in swarns
and viii clog the radiator of a car 50
as to cause the water to boil. Thew
have been known to drift in across the
floor boards of the bridge at Quincy.

and quite seriously hindered traffic. The
wheels crush their bodies and cause 4
slippery slush, which impedes 4 csri~

flies is audible for soma distance &c
they are usually quite numerous. IN a

may be able to supply their scienfific
name as I am unable to. Mavha IT

chance to leave Washington, but with
the supplies Of food running low and
with subscriptions to the funds dirnin-
ishing steadily the situation does not
promise much for holding the army
at the Capital indefinitely.
Persistence in good cause is highly
commendable. Persistence in a poor
cause is absurd. In this case persist
ence means suffering. 1t does not win
sympathy, but alienates it. 1t endan-
! gers the lives of those who remain.
There is now no chance for the enact
ment of the bonus bill. Congress has
definitely rejected it through the vote
of the Senate and has clinched this re-
lection by the passage of the joint res
olution authorizing the advance Of
funds for the return OF the marchers.
Further demands are utterly futile.
Parades are ineffective.
These thousands of marchers have
been we'll treated in Washington. They
have been given such accommodations
as the city could afford, have been al
lowed the freedom of the city for their
demonstrations, have been permitted to
solicit aid. In any other circumstances
they would have been viewed as va
grants, subject to the usual penalties
OF the law for their intrusion. Scrupu-
lous care, has been taken to prevent
their exploitation by subyersive forces,
and to their credit it is to be said that
they have co-operated admirably with
the authorities in the maintenance
of order. Now their mission is ended
and the way is opened for them to re-
turn.
There is no assurance that If this
present opportunity to return to their
homes afforded by the transportation
and subsistence loan is ignored by any
Of the marchers they will be al
lowed to maintain their camps after
Congress has adjourned. Indeed, there
is reason to expect that such of them
as stay here will be dispersed, sent OFT
of the District and made to understand
that they will not be permitted to re-
turn, under penalty of confinement as
public charges. There will be no glory
in such "msrtyrdom" for their lost
cause.
