The Bridge

By Gerald Lucas The bridge, unfamed cavalier is he, Knight of the road on bended knee; Patient and faithful through the past, 'Till he crumles down, a slave to the last. Stoical, grim, unwearing is he; For all his patience he receives no fee. Once a proud guard standing alone; Now decrepit with age and propped with stone.

To Paris, Non-Stop Flight

By Marian Free Avery black witch, One Hallowe’en night, Wanted to take Avery long hike; “I know,” she cried, “I’ll fly to ParisA non-stop flight!” She had entirely forgotten That witches fly only , On Hallowe’en night. She started that night, But failed to take An extra broom covering For her only brake. She fell into the sea,

And, to this very night, There’s one witch less To give you a fright.

The Autumn Harvest

By Ruth Perkins Now the leaves, brown, red and gold, Fall in showers from the trees. A quilted blanket on the ground, Move with every breeze. The green fields turn bright yellow, With pumpkins and the corn. Ripe apples hang from boughs above, And hazy is the mom. Crisp the nuts fall from the trees, Squirrels chatter gay. Storing nuts for winter cold, All work, no time for play. And in the barn yard turkey struts,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

He does not know his fate, But gobbles loud so all may hear How fat he's grown of late. And every one rejoices when That happy time rolls nigh, When the harvest of the year is placed On tables heaping high.

The Clouds

By Dorothy Patton The clouds of blue go sailing by; Their snowy sails of white Do push these ships right through the sky Until the brdak of night. And then when dawn does burst again, I watch them sail away, An later wonder where they’ve been Out in the sea of Dry. freeT football game i_ CLINTON, Ind., Nov. 4.—War has been declared here by high school authorities on persons who occupy vantage points outside of Sportland park and witness football games without paying the 40 cents admission.
