PROTECT YOUR CROPS AGAINST , i —A! a— Reasonable Price SEE RAY NOBLE For INSURANCE SMALL DOSES — Past & Present: Little Things That Count By ROMAINE SAUNDERS. Special Correspondent A newspaper out at Reno, Nev., says it is frightened at the black headlines. So am I. The little things that don’t rate a heading are what make life worth living. The Reno paper gives us this: Angels Camp, Calif., is pre paring for its annual frog jumping contest, a New York banker says that mllions who have learned habits of thrift during the war will continue to practice them in peace; the thirty-five years from 1610 to 1945 saw a decrease of 80 percer.i in the deaths of white children 1 to 14 years' of age in this country; a psy chiatrist at Yale says labor leaders, business executives and public officials can be tested to determine their temperamental fitness for making important decisions; Idaho silver, lead and zinc miners settled their wage dis pute with operators without a strike. Refreshing to turn from the world’s sordid tragedies to sim pler things, simpler yet life’s big things in the final analysis. And we get these heartwarm ing little things mirrored week ly in the hometown paper. Pink rose9, clusters of prair ie snowballs, rows of dainty bluebells hanging from long stems, the colorful iris and flashy yellow bloom, give the waving sea-of-green of prairie land its June buttonhole bou quet. Color and fragrance, the matchless charm of nature’s summer jewels. Jane Dale has told it in verse. Retaining the sentiment, I have made a few changes: I do not wish for mansions, wealth or costly clothes; I ask only for the leisure to appreciate a rose; To listen to the robin’s morn ing serenade; To sit quietly 'neath the elm’s cooling shade. I do not soak the purple robes of state and power. Give me instead the beauty of the sunset hour; Give me the time to watch the midnight sky, To see the Northern Lights flare up then quickly die, I do not ask for homage from those of high estate ' Jiffy Seal JELLY GLASS COVERS 10c 1 25 in a pkp.-.—.
