THE HUNTERS MOON

Gamma Dowd in the Poets Column,
Hartford CouranD
The trees like tall, dark sentinels stood
Silhouetted against the mountain;
The last rays of rubescent sunset streamed,
Streamed through the dusky woodland.
Family seen in shadowy cloud
Was the silvery evening STAR
It's cold light glittering and cleaning
The trees sky-aspiring sentines, stood
Silhouetted against the mountain.
The last rays of sunset streamed through the wood
Like a fountain crouchng before
Rollickng moon, hallowed In rhyme and story
Ascending the heavens,
Shining with matchless glory.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
"A Little Saturday Talk

To those questions might add
a dozen others which a person on
a desert island would be likely to
ask. No one with the good of the
world at heart could be content If
he closed out all news of what is
happening.
For better or for worse, the out
come of the European war may
have much to do with the lives of
people on this continent. In our
country we have certain rights OF
freedom. These rights have been
won the course of history and they
mean a great deal to us.
1t would be shocking if any one
said to us. ''You may some day lose
your rights Of freedom Of speech,
freedom of the press and freedom
of religion"
For my part, I think we are not
going to lose those rights. Yet
they have been lost in some coun-
tries Of Europe. Many millions of
persons in those countries do not
dare to speak what is in their minds.
In such country, q person who

q great deal of time to war news. I"
have read newspapers and maga-
sine articles about the war and
have listened to the radio news
reports.
When I think of the war, I feel
troubled. There are moments when
I have said to myself, "If I could
only 60 to desert island and stay
there until 1t is all over!"
Yet I think I would not be con-
tent on the desert island. I would
want to know about things happen
ing in the world.

papers and left his radio at home
That would be peace of a sort, but
It would not be real peace. Some

tions: What is happening to Great

Mussolini doing?" HAS any small
country been "gobbled up during

freedom. A person is not free un-
less he can cry out against what
he thinks is wrong.
In a Nation like ours, we can tell
others what we think. We see about
us some things which seem good
and some which seem bad. We have
freedom to try to set the wrong
things right. Let us always keep
that freedom. It is worth more
than all the jewels and gold in the
world.

effect that the p. Fehl loft the South

last week The Fehl bird flew the distance in
fast time averaging 1889 yards per minute
for the 13O mile jaunt, to beat out ]. Purpu-

minute.
With whirr of wings, 10000 homing pig
cons, released within space of three minutes,
filled the air morning recently over the Penn
sylvania freight depot. The cloud of wild
y milling birds, crcled above, gradually breaking
off into separate groups, finally losing them
selves in the distance of the early eastern sky.
The event was the start of a 130-mile nation
al airline race of the Pittsburgh Pigeon Racing
Concourse, and the spectacular release of the
enormous group of birds witnessed by num-
Der of spectators in spite of the early hour.
An old baggage car had bene utilized by the
railroad company to transport the pigeons from
Pittsburgh headquarters of various eastern clubs.
Twenty men unoaded $50 crates of the cooling
birds, ping the pens in tiers of five. c. j. Spath
of Pittsburgh was sent with the as official
convoyer to keep record of the release time,
that the flight could be checked He assist
ed by P. W.-Faust, express agent, Newark.

ed of As affiliated clubs, ALL within radius of
so miles of that city, 1t is interesting to note,
