TEN THOUSAND EASTER EGGS in one field!
A It is doubtful if even' a trip to St.’Nick’s summer home
'at the North pole could offer a more alluring view to.Aus-
tin kids than.the Easter egg hunt which the Young Men’s
Business leageue will stage at Pease Park Sunday after-
noon. What youngster ever found as many Easter eggs
as he wanted, or ever was turned free into a paradise where ’
Mr. Rabbit had hidden TEN THOUSAND eggs of all colors
and kinds? ' ' . -
The YMBL Easter egg hunt will add little to the mone-
tary wealth of Austin, but the happiness and satisfaction
which it will bring to the children of this_city cannot be
estimated. The Statesman congratulates this Austin civic
club, and those who are aiding the entertainment; upon an
unselfish and unusual contribution to the happiness of
Austin children. .

he has the memory of heroism-as a companion in prison.

KING GEORGE, groping his way through an exhibition

‘Oh, no, Your Majesty! It was not a dog and it was not a
fish. It might have been moonlight playing over the roofs
of a boiler factory, or it might have been an ovis poll out
for a walk with its grandmother. Again, it could have
been the painter’s concept of what a man saw on his way
home from the bedside of a sick friend. It might have been
even an Easter hat. (

Scout Course To
Open April 8
Scout officials have decided to
start the Boy Scout training course
April 8, instead of April 1, so that
committees would be given more
time to prepare the work and *0
that a, better course might be of-
fered, according to NoelP. Amtead,
scout executive.
The course is to deal with exten-
sive scout training and is open to
scoutmasters, assistants. Sunday
school teachers. prospective scout
masters, fathers or other men in-
terested in- this typo of training,
Afhstead said.
While there are to be no costa for
the actual training course, or the
eight meals which will be served in
connection-with the weekly meet-
ings of the course, those enlisting
for .ho training will pay $1.50 on
equipment. There will bo one dol-
lar spent on the "Handbook for,
Scoutmasters," forty cents on the
"Handbook for Boys," and ten cents
on the “Boy Scout Song Book," it

Before we dispose of the dam, let
us investigate the possibilities of an
irrigation system in the Colorado
river valleys below Astin. Let us
begin by asking for a co-operative
‘survey by the state and United

There's a modern school of writers, too, that occasionally
produces something very quaint. The best part of it is.
those who call themselves critics of such effusions are often
fooled by the stuff themselves. For instance, Joe Ship-
' ley’s book, “King John.” A young school teacher out west,
attracted to the work by critic’s praise of it, did a little
investigating and found it just a plain hoax. She demon-
strated how Mr. Shipley simply had taken a poem, written
it backwards, added a few inscriptions from status and 'a
bulletin of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (all back-
wards) and called the whole thing “King John.”
It must have given'Shipley a great laugh when the re-
viewers declared him a hero for his illustrious effort.

Your House By The Road
THE story of how Sam Watler Foss came to write "The
House by the Side of the Road” is interesting and con-
tains a little lesson in human kindness.
Foss was tramping in New England. Tired, he sought
the shade of a tree along the roadside. Nearby was a
crude sign which read, “There is a spring here; if you are
thirsty, drink.” A little farther on was a bench on which
was written, “Sit down and rest if you are tired.” A basket
of apples was placed near, with the sign, “If you like apples,
help yourself.”
Who had placed the signs there? Foss sought the owner
and found a kindly-faced, old man.
“Well,” the old map said, “we had water aplenty and!
thought it would be a good thing to share it with thirsy
travelers. This is a pleasant spot to rest so I brought
down an old bench from the attic. .We have more apples
than we can dispose of, so ma and I thought it would be
nice to divide with others, so we bring some down every
day. It seems to do good so we kept it up.”
No matter how remote is your corner by the side of the
road, you can be-a friend to those who pass your way.

take the plant back and operate it

will probably confront us when we
go to do this: 1. It is much hard-

to correct such defects as may exist
at present. 2. The operation of the

purchase ot power from them, as
the case may be. gives*that corpora-

power but also greatly increased po-
