SPRING
Before speaking of spring
itself we are inclined to observe
that spring usually bring on
that enervating complaint des-:
ignated as spring fever, from
which so many people suffer
with the advent of warmer
weather. What this complaint
is is not explained in the same
way by psychologists and.phy
sicians. But without regard to
what these learned folk say
the people who get it will
heartily agree that it is very
real and not exactly an un
pleasant thing to have if one
has not many things to do.
Some writers tell us that it is
nothing but a lethargic drow
siness, caused by the poisons
accumulated during the phys- ]
ical inaction of winter. There
is reason to believe, however,
that spring fever is not entire
ly physical. There is a good
deal of the psychic in it, also.
Perhaps spring fever is an in
heritance from the times wher !
our cave-man ancestors, aftei
a long and monotonous winter
in their dens, strolled out tc
bask lazily in the warm spring
sunlight.
Agreeable as the gentle lass-:
itude of spring fever often is,
we must not surrender our
selves to it too readily, for
there is more work to be done
in spring than perhaps any
ether season. With this warn
ing emphasized, permit us to
observe that the delights of
spring cannot be easily exag
gerated, for nature is then at
her highest pitch of offering
her best to all who dwell on
this mundane sphere. Spring
is a time to take a new lease on
life, to get a fresh start; to fill
your lungs with the fresh ail
and your mind with new ideas
and hopes and plans. And then
to go to it. The best thing
about spring is that it is a pre
lude to another round of in
tense endeavor and activity.
Except, of course, for those
who have spring fev’er 365
days of the year.
BRIGHTER DAYS FOR
SILVER IN SIGHT
Continued from Page 1
made of sterling silver and re
tailed, as proposed, at a co?.t
not exceeding $1.50 an ounce,
their salvage value would, it is ;
believed, soon approximate*;
half their cost, besides which
they would have a special ap
peal due to their beauty and ,
durability.
Sponsors of this new enter
prise have been assured by rep- j
resentatives of the great retail
merchandising establishments
throughout the United States:
that if they were assured a
constant supply of articles of
general utility made of sterling
silver, whose retail price
through quantity production
could be fixed at $1.50 an
ounce, they could practically j
guarantee a market for all
that the company could manu-j
facture.
Through such an extension !
f the use of silver in the arts
it is now believed that a suf
ficient demand would be creat
ed to absorb the entire domes-1
tic production of the white i
metal, with the consequence j
that its price in the United j
States might be increased to
approximately 70 cents an
mnce, if importation of foreign
ilver were subjected to a cust
>ms duty of 30 cents an ounce,
as now proposed by Senator
Pittman of Nevada. To assure
he working of the new selling
•ampaign, the manufacturing
>lant established by the silver
jroducers would guarantee to
upply the retail trade with
irticles made of sterling silver,
o be retailed at not exceeding
’•1,50 an ounce. These articles
.vould at all times have a sub-1
tantial intrinsic value and j
eventually a salvage value of
approximately one-half their
cost. ,
The proposed action is in line
.vith the present marketing
policies of the larger produc
ers of both copper and lead.
The Anaconda Company was
the pioneer in this movement,
is regards copper. Thrdugh its
rubsidiary, the American Brass
Company, it now sells a large
percentage of its copper direct
to the consumers in manufact
ured form. The Bunker Hill
und Sullivan Company is pion
seiing a similar marketing pol
icy in the case of lead. Much
af its lead is now sold in manu
factured form, instead of mere
ly as bullion or, attest, refined
lead. Those who have stud
ied the question can see no
reason why the same policy
cannot be worked out success
fully in the case of silver,
with equal benfit to the pro
ducers of that metal.”
Just for Fun
Still there’s plenty of parking
c.pace on easy street.
An open mind is one of a bus
iness man’s best assets.
Marriage seems to have de
veloped into a problem which
has to be worked out of.
It seems to us that nowadays
the hand that rocks the cradle
is mostly a hired hand.
Another objection to talking
about the weather just now’ is
that profanity is vulgar.
Quackery of all kinds will
continue to prosper so long as
their is a demand for it.
Prof.: “What do you find the
hardest thing to deal with?”
Student: “An old pack of
cards.”
He: “I love you! I adore you!
I have always wanted you.
Will you kiss me?”
She: -What for?”
It must be easy to run a com
ic magazine. You just buy bum
jokes and clip good ones from
the newspapers.
Jack: ”1 think I’ll commit sui
cide.”
Jill: All rightie; but be sure
and turn off the gas when you
are through.”
Landlady: Don’t be afraid oi
the bacon, Mr. Jenkins.”
Star Boarder: “Not at all, Ma’
am. I’ve seen a piece nearly
twice as large and it didn’t
frighten me a bit.”
Extract from a New England
paper: “We do not mind re
cording the deaths of people
without being paid for our
trouble, but eulogies on the
dead must be paid for—we
positively cannot send people
to Heaven for nothing,.
SPRINTING CALLED FOR
“Just a minute, where are you
going?”
“Sorry, but I haven’t time to
stop. I'm catching the the nine
thirty.”
“You’ll- have to hurry. I’ve
just missed it.”
The sales manager of a large
concern in the Middle West re
ceived an expense account
from a firm salesman that was
so staggering that he wired:
“Why is it that your expense
account is twice as much as
that of any other man we have
on the road?”
After a few hours the follow
ing answer came back, I’ll bite.
Why is it?”
Jpnes: “Do you act toward;
your wife as you did before |
you were married?” i
Henpeck: “Exactly. T remem
ber just how I used to act j
when I first fell in love with j
her. I used to lean over the
fence in front of her house and
gaze at her shadow on the cur-,
tain, afraid to go in. And I .
act just the same way now.”
The hotel patron had waited j
fully an hour for a very slow |
waiter to serve him two cours- j
63 “Now brother,” he said to !
the waiter, “can you bring me j
;ome tomato salad?” “Yes, ;
•ir.” said the waiter. “And,” |
continued the customer," while j
you are away you might send
me a postcard every now and
.hen.”
“J am sending you a thousand
kisses,” he wrote to his fair
young wife who was spending
her first month away from
him.
Two days later he received
the following telegram:
“Kisses received. Ice man re-1
fused to accept any on ac
count.” Then he woke up and j
forwarded a check.
They caught the dumbest
man in the country at Wauke
sha, Wis., the other day. This
bird, driving a new automo
bile, ran the car for ten miles
over the bumpy ties and rails
of a railroad track between
| Waukesha and West Junction,
j after he had been told to fol
! low the railroad tracks to the
i reach Milwaukee. He was
stopped by a train at West
Junction and shown the high
; way , running within a few !
[ yards from the tracks most of I
the way.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH
Did you ever go to Put-off
Town, where the houses are!
| old and tumbledown,
And everything tarries and I
| everything drags, with dirty
streets and people in rags?
On the street called Slow,
lives old man Wait, and his two
little boys named Linger and
Late,
With unclean hands and tous
eled hair, and a naughty sister
named Don’t Care.
Did you ever go to Put-off
town, to play with the little
girls, Fret and Frown?
j Or go to the home of old man
! Wait and whistle for his boys
to come to the gate.
To play ball all day on Tarry ■
! street, leaving your errands for i
other feet?
To stop, or shirk, or linger, or ;
frown, is the nearest way to
! this Put-off town. — Exchange
: The Sunday School has decid
| ed not to put off any longer, so
j we have a class now forming
| for the adults. The class will
meet in the church on Sunday

perience in life which may be
of great value to others. We do
