Page Five Buds AND Blossoms •f MAMIE MIUER **Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments." In a small town the garbage collector was making his rounds, when an overstuffed can landed on one side of a path that lay between two houses. Each neighbor accused the other of the accident. Itiey swept the trash on each other’s property. Finally one struck the other with a broom, and they were called to court. They were both fined. Wouldn’t this be a lovely world, If we woidd do a little more than our share to make it beautiful? Besure to dry flowers at their peak for arrangements later. Pictures and decorations can be made. They are especially nice for favors and hospital remembrances. Save seed for next year’s JOHN R.

Don’t forget to plant lettuce for the fall, and salad and coDard greens. And be tbankhil for the rains that came in recent days to end a dry spell. Maybe you got caught in a shower, and complained, but the dn^ were literally pennies from heaven for farmers and gardeners.

The fairest flower in the garden of creation is a young mind, offering and unfolding' itself to the iimuence of divine wisdom, as the heliotrope turns its sweet blossoms to toe sun.— J. E. Smith.

Thou art more lovdy and more temperate: RoiMfo winds do shake the darling buds of May, And Summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines. And often is his gold com- dexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometimes dedines, By chance or nature’s changing course un- trinun’d; But thy eternal Summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
