Readers Adviser, Public Library.

Abraham Lincoln once said: II
laugh because I must not cry-that's
all, that's ALL" And certainly. his
words are as true for every American
today as they were during the Civil
War.
Americans always have been able
to laugh. 1t Is said that the reason
Benjamin Franklin was not asked to
write the Declaration of Independ-
ence was that he was too fond Of a
joke. Certainly, reading Of Poor
Richards Almanac" would tend to
prove the accusation.
The first American to gain inter-
national fame as a humorist was
Artemus Ward. At a time when the
British had only contemptuous crit
icism for the crudities of America,
he went to England to lecture, and
they took him to their hearts. His
experiences and lectures there are
collected in London and Other
Papers" One of his contemporaries
was Josh Billings, the first Of the
twanging Yankee tradition. His hu-
morously misspelled essays have
been collected in a single volume
and are as enjoyable today as when
they were written. Bill Nye was an
other humorist who followed the
good old American tradition of pok-
ing fun at ourselves and others. and
it was in this vein that he wrote "A
Comic History of England and "A
History of the United States"
The giant of all times, of course.
is Mark Twain. whose writings
gained world recognition for Ameri-
can literature. When he was still a
young man he wrote The Cele-
brated Jumping Frog Of Calaveras
County," which Immediately became
classic example of the art of ex-
aggeration. He tells the story of a
trip he took from Missouri to Cali
fornia to Hawaii in ''Roughing IT.

The KimboII Collection
Ri Elizabeth Corbett. D. Ap-

by ELtSuOCLft WI WV - NAF
pleton-Century.
The Kimball Collection" is a
mildly amusing story of middle
aged man, frustrated in his marriage
and in his business affairs, who
makes the care of collection OF
classic antiquities his escape, Part
of the interest in the book lies in
his high school teachers son, his
dog-raising wife. their children and
their slightly unconventional rearing
in a conventional New Jersey suburb.
The collection serves as an intro
duction between Mr.. Kimball, the
collector, and the woman curator
of a small-town museum. Event.
ually, its disposition leads to
romance between the two and the
reclamation of what is left OF the
widower's life.
The reader who seeks amusing
escape from the realities OF life
will find here enough to hold the
interest for an hour or two.

To Observe Poppy
Day Here May %

Poppies of patriotic remembrance
will bloom in Bluffton on Saturday
May %, Mrs. F. H. Fritchie, presi-
dent of Bluffton American Legion
Auxiliary, announced today.
Every man, woman and child in
the city will be asked to wear a
poppy on that day in honor of the
men who have given their lives for
America. The poppies will be dis
tributed by volunteer workers from
the Auxiliary and the coins contrib
uted for them will be used in Legion
and Auxiliary work for the war dis
abled, their families and the families
of the dead.
The poppies which will be dis
tributed here have been made by
disabled veterans at the Sandusky
Soldiers Home. Making the little
red flowers has given many veterans
employment during the winter and
spring months. The work is limited
to men receiving little or no govern
ment compensation and those with
families to support.
Contributions received for the pop
pies on Poppy Day are a principal
source of support for the vast well
fare work carried out by the Legion
and Auxiliary among the disabled
men and dependent families. With
the new war adding to America s
list of war victims, there will be
greatly increased need for funds DUR
ing the coming year.
Poppy Day has been observed by
the Legion and Auxiliary annually
for the past twenty years. With the
nation again at war, the poppy has
