• THE Kiddies’ Korner Madree Penn MAY The whistle of the meadow lark; The dew-kissed morning glory; The perfume of cherry blossoms; The songs of praises. It's seven o’the morning in May! The month of May is a beautiful month. In it come some of the most wonderful things we know. It is the time for deliverance, of rebirth, of blossom. All through the realm of nature sweeps a surge of rising life, bursting its bounds at last, in a flood of bud and blossom, and blade and song. Last fall the glorious hued leaves, one by one, reluctantly parted from the boughs and were whirled away into the great unknown. Then win ter threw her thick, white blanket over all; and nature slept. The whirling March winds and the clean April showers have come and gone. Now, May is here! Wonderful May! Beautiful May! May with its warm sun and sweet smelling flowers, and its brilliant choruses of feathered sweet singers! We are also so glad and thankful, aren’t we kiddies? It’s fine being alive and happy. And so, we are go ing to make everyone we meet just a little happier because we are. Once a very wdse man said: “All who joy would win must share it: Happiness was bom a twin.” To his only begotten son, God gave the sweest gift he had—a human mother. Literary Lore What poem is it that bubbles as it goes ? The brook. What poem rules in spring? The May Queen. What poem belongs to the kiddies ? The Children’s Hour. “Out of the Mouths of Babes” Johnny lived in a household where the folks were always talking about making money, building corporations, floating stocks, etc. One day he walked up to his older brother and said: “Bob, I got a good scheme for getting rich. We can give the peo ple in this town some of the things they want and it won’t cost us a cent.” “How is that?” asked Bob. “Well,” said Johnny, “Grandma has gas in her stomach, sister has elec tricity in her hair and you say that cousin Chauncey has water on the brain.” “Harry,” said his mother sternly, “isn’t that a hole you have had in your stocking since morning?” “No, mother,” said Harry. “But what is it, then, if it isn’t a hole?” said his mother. “My leg, mother,” said Harry.

Its incessant chattering, quar relsome disposition, and abundance and familiarity about human habita tions distinguish it from our native sparrows. Range: Resident throughout the United States and southern Canada. Habits and economic status: Al most universally condemned since its Introduction into the United States, the English sparrow has not only held its own. but has ever Increased in numbers and extended its range in spite of all opposition. Its habit of driving out or even killing more beue iicial species and the defiling of build ings by its droppings and by its own unsightly structures, are serious ob jections to this sparrow. Moreover, in rural districts, it is destructive to 1 grain, peas, beans, and other vege tables. On the other hand, the bird leads to some extent on a large num ber of Insect pests, and this fact points to the need of a new investigation of the present economic status of the spe cies, especially as it promises to be of service in holding in check the newly introduced alfalfa weevil, which threat ens the alfalfa industry in Utah and neighboring states, in c.ties most of the food o? the English sparrow is waste material secured Trom the streets.

One of those Individuals who has leisure enough to dig into the records of days long past, has unearthed what Is said to he the first advertisement ever published of a preparation for cleansing and preserving the teeth. It appeared 258 years ago, and, though the language is a bit Involved, the writer needed no lessons from modern publicity experts In claiming virtues for his product. The ad was printed in the Mercurlus Politicos of Leith, Scotland. In 1GG0, and reads: “ ‘Most Excellent and Approved Pen tlfrices to scour and cleanse the Teeth making them white as Ivory ; preserves from Toothache; so that being con stantly used, the parties using It are ; never troubled with the Toothache; It fastens the Teeth, sweetens the Breath and preserves the Mouth and Gums from Banker and Imposthumes Made by Hubert Turner.
