CLEAR LOGIC IN
OUR REASONING
’ y MAY ‘
Come , walk with me along this wil
lowed lane, l
Where, * like coinage from some
miner's store, ] |
The golden dandeloins more and
more ‘ |
Glow as the warm sun kisses them
h again! |
For this is May! Who with a daisy
chain - {
Leads on the laughing hours;. for
now is o'er !
Long winter’s trance, no longer rises,
and roars . . . ,
His forest—wrenching Dblasts, The
hopeful swain, . I
Along the furrow, sings behind his
team .
Loud pipers the red breast—itrouba
dor of spring, |
And vocal all the morning ring
More blue the skies in lucent lakc--l
lets gleam; l
And the glad earth, caressed byl
murmering showers, i
Wakes like a bride to deck herself|
~with flowers. l
{ —HENRY S. CORNWELLL‘
i By Joe Cannon |
At midnight Monday, May 3, a
generdl strike went into effect in
Great | Britain wHich involves morej
than gwo and a half million workers
The stirikers are miners, railwaymen,
railwaly clerks, builders, transport
workers, seamen, printers, iron work
ers and electricians, ‘
The wage subsidy that the English
government has been paying the coal
operators has been stopped. The op-i
erators claim that on account of)
this they are forced to decrease the
miner’s pay or continue the old]
wages' with an increase of hours of
yvork. The miners demanded an in-!
erease in pay. The other union labor
organizations then entered into a
sympatheiic strike with them. Less
than half of the strikers are miners.
The English government, in a way
has allicd itself with the operators.
The government is prepared with '
trocp: to prevent disoreds and ig
trying to keep.the public utilities op
erating. The government is calling
for volunteers to transport the ne-]
ecssities of life. ‘
Practically all railroads are shut’
down, fome completely and a fcwl
running “¥keleton service. Students
are running sireet cars in Edin- |
burgh and in other places. Volun- !
SRy Tl s |
teers are rapidly finding employment |
in the traction’ companies. Thc'
streets in London are very cnnjcetcd:’
with mobs, parades and thousands of |
people forced to walk. The rcin-!
foreed police squad are working as
they have rarely worked before to !
keep traffic unlangled and crn.\-.'lim,'.|
A+ ~vawling is the best it can do. {
T “How long can it last”” is the vii |
versal question. Who knows? It cer
tainly can last no longer than I.nc!
food supply. England is mainly a,
171anufa‘c,turin;; country, thickiy [
populajed that imports most of her !
food. iit were not for her imports,
the islfnd would soon be on the|
verge of starvation.
Evm’:::sincc the war, England has
had a;lninimum of a million unem- |
pioyedjmen supporied by a govern--|
ment b‘bunty. One of the great ques- |
tions ndw is whether these men wili|
geek ciiployment or join the strikers‘
thus adding to the dangers now!
facing ‘the government. It has been
intimidated by gome high in authori-(
ty in the British government that,
unless a speedy settlement can be |
made that there is great danger of!
civil war. : l
“NATURE IS LOVELIER |
BECAUSE BURBANK LIVED” |
By Emylee Sheppard ,
Few men in the history of the rac®
bave done more that will survive in!
the gratefulness of their fe]l()wz't
than this gentle scientist, Luthveti
Burbank. He never ignored what is[
gencrally called the spiritual naturo!
of man. It was his desire to help our- |
selves and others to higher and bet
ter thoughts and actions, in other
words, to a more perlect slate of
harmony and environment. Burbankl
made the world more beantiful, be--
cause of the flowers that he made.
He established for himself a place
in science that few have occupied
He was both student and creator; a
ADD IeiURE IS LOVEDLIER
us. He sa™imat nature does not plan
governs the plants and it governs
maker of new fruits and {lowers. He
is neither bad nor good, but is un--
concerned.
It is to be hoped that some one
will carry his work on. His life was
too short to give opportunity for
A@\x";g.;.)pr trial of the principles he dis-
La Petite Dispaich
, covered, Several lives would be re
quired to try them out in given
| cases. Burbank was a doubter, ques
tioner, and a skeptic. He died an in
| fidel. He desired to worship science
which he called his savior and all
| things which is revealed to us
through the demonstratable truths of
l his savior, science,
Burbank has bred some remarka
l ble hybrids, such as those between
the strawberry and raspberry the ap
| ple and the blackberry, the petunia
and the tobacco plant. These are of
lvlittlc use though of much scientific
| interest. He also bred the plum, :md‘
| Burbank potaato. He is called the
“wizard of plants” who has given‘
' to every garden in the land some of
its choicest varities of fruits. ‘
~ Thus we see what a \vondcrfull
~contribution Burbank made to civil
ization and even though he died an‘
infidel he made the world better by
his living in it. ‘

CUR COUNTRY’S CHERRY TREES
! jfiy Geoneive McKee
I' wonder how many of us know
the jorigin and romantic back-greund
of the beautiful Japanese cherry
trees? Seattered along the drives in
Potomae' Park, Washington, D. o
are the beautiful Japanese chcrr,v:
trees presenting the loveliest sight
imaginable all during the spring
weather, These trees were I‘l'osontml‘
to Mrs, Howard Tait, who was thcin"
“first lady of the land by the ma)‘ori
of Tokyo in 1912, when Potomac!
Park was being developed, as al
token of Japan’s geod will and cg--
teem to the U. 8. governmént, This'{
unusual gift wasz suggested to the,
mayor by an old Japanese legend:
handed down during the generations
This legend, as it has been hande l'
down, is that several hundred years
ago, the emperor of japan :-umnwn-l
~d al the noblemen of his couniry
to his summer palace, each one ‘.:e--l
ing requested to bring a gift. An im-|
poverished nobleman, realizing that '
he could not make an adequate offm'-’
ing :in_ gold,_ silver _or . bregious,
stones, carried with him a -sack of
tree seeds. After planting the seeas
on both sides of the highways or
boulevard leading from the imperial
sumiler palace at Nikko to a near-l
by village, the poor nobleman re-‘
marked that his gift wouid be the‘
greatest blessing of them all and his
name would be remembered long af-!
ter the valuable offcerings of l'.is!
rich ecollengues Fad banished. The rc-'}
suit of his offering iz said to be ;.'lnl
ctately Japanese cedar trees planted
on both sides of the 30 mile i;:;ul'.'-]
vard towering some 200 feeb in thci
air. Teday, many hundreds of years
after these seeds were plant(f(l{
thousands of persons are being bcno-;
fitted by the shade trees which
sprang from them.” '
The supreme beauty of the cherry
blossom, or sakura, is the famed “u,-!
tional flower and symbol of thr.'f
spirit of Japan. These trees bear 1o
fruit but are «cultivated solely for|
their begutifflq;@lowers. ‘
