A little sun, a little rain,
A little loss, a little gain,
A little JOY, a little strife,
And this is Life.
A little work, a little play,
Some kind deed done each passing day;
A few good-byes, a setting sun,
And Life is done.

HOLLYWOOD, April 10. = That
haystacked needle is no harder to
find than bad word for Joe Pen
ner Penner, once poor boy
himself, has all he needs, with an
nuitieS and such, to last him long
while and he's using his money now
to enjoy himself. -.
Like this: he hears of chill
dren's hospital that needs an iron
lung to fight an infantile paralysis
epidemic, SO he buys one for $4,000,
all on the quiet, and gets it there.
/. Then he know some guys who
need a job of work and he sends
them on the road to give shows for
kids and collect pennies to help
support the 'lung." One place
it cost Joe 1905 to send his show and
the collection was SO cents-and the
SO cents went into the fund.
He has a Hungarian orchestra on
his payroll, too, and it earns its
keep by playing for Joe once in
a while. Oldtimers who were
big names when Joe was a strug-
Cling youngster hold his admira-
tion-they're still names" to him
and when he can help, he does.
(. But chiselers-by correspondence
might as well save their stamps. :.
Because Joe has to know whom he's
helping, and he's nobody's fool.

Month Of May
Has Eleven
Weeks

There are eleven weeks in May, at
least.
And in the first week in May,
there are four weeks, no less. Lets
list them and prove it.
First week in May (among the
four weeks in the first seven days.
is National Baby Week, figure that
one out yourself. Next week Tin the
first week. is National Foot Health
Week, (do lots of walking).
Third of the four weeks from
May l to May 7th, is National Music
Week, Everybody sing), and fourth
week in the first week is National
Egg Week-that week is just for
ambitious chickens.
But there are still seven weeks
left in May. National Restaurant
Week runs from May 2 to May g.
we suppose everybody eats out-and
then May to May IA there is Ma
tional Golf Week-that's a honey,
everybody go golfing."
May to May IA sounds very in
teresting. That's National Hardware
Week. For May Is to May 81, save
all your old cuts and bruises, for
that is National First Aid Week
That same week should be not
only National Week, but should be
national holiday as well, for that
is also National Ice Cream Week.
May 20 to June are National
Cotton Weeks, girls can wear cot
ton hose and say they're celebrat-
ing, not economizing)
May % to May 20 is the last week
in May, the eleventh week, and it
is nothing less than National Poetry
Week-but the chances are that
after all the weeks of celebration
before, everyone is going to be too
weak to write poetry that week.

COLUMBUS, O., April 19.-Fa-
nous characters of fiction, Robin
son Crusoe, Tom Sawyer, Rip Van
Wrinkle, Hans Brinker, Robin Hood,
King Arthur and his knights OF
the Round Table, Sherlock Holmes
and scores of others, are making
their debut in thousands of rural
Ohio homes.
The children and adults in these
homes, tucked away in hamlets and
villages where no libraries are
available, for the first time are be-
coming acquainted with these story
book personalities through the work
of the WPA library extension prof.
ect.
Using the Federal governments
grants of 100000 for the wages of
the WPA assistants and $4,000 for
new books, Ohio Libraries have
adopted the policy of taking the
books to the reader instead of watt
ing for the reader to come to the
library.
Branch libraries, supervised by
attendants, have been established
by county libraries in schools, pri-
vate homes, storerooms, tool sheds
and, in one instance, in a chicken
coop.
100000 Benefiting
Bookmobiles, which are special
ly-designed trucks or buses, are
used by other Libraries to distribute
all type of books, fiction and non
fiction. These libraries-on-wheels
+, of which 16 are operating in Ohio,
maintain a regular schedule OF
visits to small towns, schools and
hospitals. Trained library assist
ants accompany the bookmobiles to
assist readers in choosing books and
to check them in and out.

To supply reading material in
other out-of- the-way places in the
State the deposit station method is
employed. Automobile couriers in
Adams County, where the system
is used, make regular trips to 70
one-room schools, 140 homes and
16 other centers in public buildings,
stores and gasoline stations where
public official, school teacher or
gasoline station attendant tax e
charge of the lending of books.
The couriers take 80 or 40 books
on each trip to each center and
exchange them for a like number
which have been read.
With an increase to 1000 WPA
workers on the library project due
within a few months, Paul A. t.
Noon, director of the State Library,
sponsor of the project, hopes to
have workers in every county in
the State to attain his goal OF
library service for everyone in
Ohio"
1.-THE assistance of these WPA
workers which makes possible the
operations of these bookmobiles,
branch libraries and deposit sta
tions,' Noon declares, sis the big
gest boon to library service in the
history of the State.
MANY Ohio communities which
never had libraries before are now
sold on the library idea and when
better times return they will vote
local tax money to support a Ii
brary," he predicted.
There are 100000 people in
Ohio who have no library within
reach of their homes, Noon said,
although the State leads the nation
in library activity.

In connection with the issuance
of the 3-cent Northwest Territory
commemorative at Marietta, O..
July IS, the Marietta Celebration
Commission has designed a series
of four cachets.
The first cover shows, against
background map of the Northwest
Territory, advent of French mis-
sionaries, fur traders and explor-
ers. Using the same background,
the second is a composite picture
of George Rogers Clark's conquest
Of Ohio lands, the adoption by
Congress of the Ordinance of 1887,
and the westward trek of the pio-
neers. The third reproduces,
against the same Territorial map,
the new national memorial to 1.-THE
Start of Nation Westward" and
the fourth depicts the Inaugural
ton Of Gen. Arthur st. Clair as
first governor of the Northwest
Territory. The covers are printed
in two colors, with the back
ground map in gold and the inset
art work in contrasting black,
blue, green and red. Address

The final plunge Of Sarto's horse
thrust Fishes mare far out on the
edge. One hind foot slipped over and
paved into the thin air. She fought
and lost the battle for balance.
Then Steve moved. With the sud-
den skill of years of polo playing, he
turned his horse to the outside Of
the trail. He leaned forward and
brought his fiat hand down brutally
hard on his mounts rump.
His horse bounded forward and
struck Fiske's mare almost as she
slipped of the trail. The momentum
of the blow carried the mare for
ward and in. She was safe. So was
Fiske. But the motion threw Steve's
horse to the outer edge, fighting for
footing on the last few feet of the
trail which overhung the precipice.
Steve lost his balance and plunged
over his mounts shoulder, but the
force Of the fall carried him past
the precipice. He grabbed clump
Of bushes as he slipped downward
and chung on desperately. His horse
scrambled forward, lost its footing,
rolled over twice, and finally stopped
against tree, got up and shook
itself vigorously.
Uncle Jim was off his horse by
that time with rope in his hand.
He tossed the moose down to Steve,
snubbed the other end around his
saddle horn.

shouted, and Steve managed to find
footing long enough to get the
moose over his head and shoulders
