TAXING THE BU.LBOADS
The billboards along the higbwa;

blots upon the landscape. One of l*i
greatest blessings which the rpot<
car has brought to the petiole" v;h

jelly. A mixture of either
fresh green peas and diced carrots.

persons prefer French dressing.
Hoi Weather Breakfast
Evetyone appreciates an attractive
looking breakfast table, and nearly
|e very one occasionally feels utterly
' tired <>f the usual breakfast.
The ordinary household's breakfast
i dishes must net take many minutes'
i preparation in the morning or even
ask for much eff< rt the day before.
S But often we can have delicious
j things for breakfast with very litth
uble beforeharld.
For one tiling the?c is fruit. Be

and < ean as to -kin and cool. Most

In making French dressing for s;?l;

| THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS
By Henry W?d?worth Longfellow
There is a Reaper, whose name H
[ Death. ;
And, with his sickle keen.
He reaps the hoarded grain ai a
breath.
And the flowers that grow between.
j "Shall 1 have naught that is fair?"
saith he;
[ "Have naught hut the bearded grain'.'
| Though the breath of these floweri;
is sweet to me,
j 1 will pive them alt back again.
I Hp gazed at the. t'lowers with tearful
eyes $5?
He kissed their drooping: leaves;
It was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
*'My Lord has need of these flcerets
gay,"
The Reaper said, and smiled;
"Dear tokens of the earth are they.
Where He was t-nce a child.
! ''They shall all blodm in fields of
light.
Transplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments
white.
These sacred blossoms wear."
j And the mother gave, in tears and
; pain.
i The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all
again
In the fields of light aboveOh.
not in cruelty, not in wrath,
; The Reaper came that day;
i 'Twas an angel visited the green
earth. *
And took the flowers away.
