POETRY
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
GOD write* such river* ev*rywhere,
And prints such mountains on
the'Sky,
I would not weep, I would not care,
If yon should never read what I
Attempt to aAjr. Why fool with rimes
Amid our ataflng summertimes?
I bid you put the book away
And walk outdoors, and see the
world.
There is more truth In one bright day
Than all the truth that man has
hurled
Down aU the agee, more of hope
la one *r*en blade on one gray slope.
And, If I ask you. friend, to read,
T is but to ask that you wUl look,
Above, beyond, this simple screed
And reao the lines in God's great
book,
Yea, thrill jrith ah the poetry
Of bill and sky and wood and sea.

Mountain* as Protection

surrounded by nearby mountains la
not so likely to be injured by winds
as It would be if these mountains did
not exist Winds often are very
strong In mountain passes or gaps,
but severe storms do not particularly
favor -alleys, except where the rel-
iefs lie In the general direction the
■pane would take if thsre were ae
JJUa or velleys there. " -
The meCeotet had had an accident
with hfc light ear on the Brighton
road. He ttsapea painfully to a tele
pbooe hoc and called up the nearest
garage. "Hello," he said. "I've turned
turtle. Oaa you do anything for me?"
"I'm afraid not," eame the sweet fern
Inlae reply. "You've got the wrong

You Can't be Blamed
If you become impatient with burning coal that
makes big clinkers. This formation is the result
of impurities in coal which have no heat value. Any-
one is justified in objecting to paying a good price for
such coal.

It You Relish Meat
No matter what your taste may be, we can supply
you with your choice of meat- because of the large

friction lights for a shilling for a
hundr.ed, and twopence for the boil
The match was pressed between the
fingers in a piece of sandpaper.
