NOT THE ONLY ONE AWAKE"
Spring had arrived. He was sadly
disappointed. He looked out on a
world of white, for everything was
covered with snow.
For long time he sat there grum-
bling to himself and then decided
that as long as he was awake he
might as well go out for look around
and see what this new world, for that
was what it was to him, was like. His
home was near the old stone wall
along one side of the Old Orchard
and Johnny decided to climb up that
for a look around. What he saw
didn't please him at all. There was
snow everywhere, and he didn't like
snow. The light hurt his eyes and
made him blink. He continued to
grumble.
Hello, sleepyhead! What are you
grumbling about?" demanded a sharp
voice right behind him. 1t startled
Johnny, for he had begun to think
that he was the only one awake in
all this strange white world. He turned
to see Striped Chipmunk peeping out
at him from between stones of the
old wall.
80" said he slowly. I'm not the
only one awake"
Goodness, mol" exclaimed Striped
Chipmunk There are plenty of
people awake. Do you think that just
because you sleep through the Winter
everybody else does? What are you
awake now for?"
81 don't know" confessed Johnny
Chuck. 1T isn't because I want to be.
I awoke and supposed it must be
Spring, so came out to see. And this
is what I f1nd!" He said this in
tone Of great disgust.
Striped Chipmunks bright little
eyes twinkled. 80 you don't like 1t,
said he. well. I don't like it any
boo well, myself"
Then what are you out for?"
erumbled Johnny.
For the same reason you are" re-
torted Striped Chipmunk It awoke,
and being awake, came out for look
around" He hoped up on fiat
stone on the top of the wall.
We'll, how does it look to you?"
demanded Johnny.
Not much different from the last
time I was out replied Striped Chip
munk.
"Ohl" exclaimed Johnny Chuck in
surprise. 80 you have been out be-
fore. I thought you were like myself,
one Of the seven sleepers."

Don 7 BLAME
YOUR GROCER

TN fairness to retail grocers throughout
i the country, we feel called upon to
make frank statement to the housewives
of America.
During recent months thousands of you
ladies have experienced difficulty in obtain
ing two new varieties of Heinz Homestyle
Soups-Cream Of Mushroom and Noodle
Soup. This has not been your grocer's
fault. We are to blame. Here are the facts:
We had made few varieties of soup for
many years, when we decided to expand
our line. We didn't do this overnight. 1t
came as the result of unusual and interest
ing recipes evolved by our chefs over long
period. Today there are sixteen varieties of
Heinz Soups.
The new varieties Of Heinz Soups met al
most instant success-made good on thou
sands of tables. But when we added the
last two-Heinz Cream of Mushroom Soup
and Heinz Noodle Soup something un-
expected happened. These two soups
took the country by storm. Crocers re.
ported amazing sales. Thousands of letters
poured in. At this same time, sales of our
other varieties Of soup doubled and trebled.
This presented problem. Tremendous
demand could not be met by merely install

small batches-slowly simmered SO that the

are retained. All the ingredients must be
painstal<ingly selected and the splicing and
seasoning done with utmost care. 1t is
slow, meticulous process by which Heinz
chefs uphold traditional Heinz quality.
So we honestly have not been able to
catch up with the demand for these two
soups until now. Two shifts have been
working in our kitchens for months to
supply you. Hereafter we believe you'll be
able to obtain these soups at most grocers.
MANY grocers have had numerous ship.
ments of Heinz Cream of Mushroom Soup
and Heinz Noodle Soup-but it is hard to
keep them in stock. So it is possible that you
may have experienced occasional difficulty
in obtaining these two varieties. We regret
this-but trust that this statement will
explain the reason and remove from your
mind any thought that your grocer has
been negligent in his service to you.
So many dealers have been blamed by
housewives for failing to stock these two
new soups that we felt called upon to ex.
plain the true situation. We have known
your grocer for many years. No one works
harder or more conscientiously to serve
you. His interest is natural and sincere
one. He would gladly have kept these two
soups in stock if he could have obtained
them. So don't blame him. It's our fault.
Blame us for our stubborn, old>fashioned
ideas about quality-and for our pride in
anything that bears our name.

TAKING MARRIAGE SERIOUSLY

In the 'bygone days" marriage was
a serious thing. 1t was based on
love rather than on exigencies. 1t
was seriously considered by parents
and their children. Young people
went to the alter with serious faces
giving evidence that they sensed the
gravity of the situation. They form
ed marriage unions with the expect
ations and the determination to live
together "until death do us part"
And this spirit made marriage more
solemn and moe successful.
Today, young women talk gllbly
of marriage as of some social gather
ing, or a trip away fom home. They
consider expedieneu first Of all. A
Young woman was heard to remark
II am tired; I'm so tired Of working
hard; Pm going out husband-huntlng
pretty SOON" Being reproved for
thinking of marriage in such a spirit
she added, Well, l shall marry for
convience, that is ALL" Sad indeed!

Many. Southerners have written
books which have dealt scathingly
with the evil of lynch law.
In january, 1884, the Conference
Of Southern White Wo4nen for the
Prevention of Lynchings passed re-
solutions calling on President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt to work with
governors to eradiI at Americas
disgrace. That this conference really
spoke for Southern white women is
evidenced y it's membership Of 1000,
900 white women in IL Southern
states.
The Association feels that there Is
more hope today than ever before for
the enactment of a drastic federal
anti-lynching law. Nevertheless,
the fight will not be an easy one.
There is still strong opposition to
such a law, particularly from the I'M
constructed South. That the Associ-
alton does not underestimate this
opposition and it's resourcefulness
is evidenced by it's present effort to
raise $4,000 to lobby the Costigan-
Wagner bill through Congress.

| read the story Of the imminent
peril Of Admerial Byrd's ship, when
it was almost destroyed amid q ter
rifle storm. In his diary, one of the
explorers wrote we ae in danger;
We are on u knees paying; for now,

These men were courageous. They
wicked as most seamen are. But
finding themselves helpless in the
midst of the storm, unable to cope
with Gods stot.m and Gods seas,
they cried like Peter, on Genessaret,
Lord, save US or weperish" and
giving GA the credit, this writer
recorded "Our prayers r answeed
and we ae saved.
So men boast, defy, show content,
mock and swear, when there is no
danger nigh; but when they are"Out
on the deep where the pillows roll
high" and otherwise imperiled they
confess their utter ~helplessness, and
call on God. And He pities and saves,
the wonderful God that he is. But
it is manifest unfair to God for them
to use the lifet that He gives them,
waste the opportunities He affords

lean white man should act as a boom
erang and hit the sender. Related
and associated as the two races in
this country, there could be no a
from such finality. Here is the
summary:
/. Hatred. Hatred begets hatred,
and hatred ; destructive both sub
jectively and effectively. The ha-
tired Of the Negro against the white
man is the result of the hatred mani
fest by the white man towards his
darker brother.
2. Loss of Faith. The injustice
done him by the white man who pro
fesses Cnistrianity tends to weaken
the faith Of the black man of Ann
erican and the people Of the darker
races everywhere, in mankind and in
God-at least the God of the pre-
JUDGED man.
8. Trampling Human lights. In
this particular r~etributibe justice will
not pelnit the white man to escape
the consequences Of his sin. Segre-
cation denies the white man the
privilege of living where he may
choose, riding in any coach he may
elect to ride in and of entering into
marriage with one of his choice, if
that choice should be one Of the dark
err races. In respecting the rights
of the colored man they inevitably
restrict their own rights, to that ex-
tent.
