AN ENTREATY Come to us Spring, beautiful Spring. We yearn for thy genial sunshine of cheer; For the consonant concert of numberless birds Which inhabit the wild-wood while summer is here. To hear once again a twittering wren. The chirp of a robin, the drone of s bee. And the nocturnal trill of some whippoorwill. Twould fill every soul with ineffabie glee. Come to us Spring, beautiful Spring. Melt the Ice In the riliet that flows through the dale; TUI it merrily murmurs a lilt of delight To the hawthorns and dog-woods which grow In the vale. Let this winterjr scene be transformed into green. For weeks we have pined for the days that are fair; We are eager to stroll over may a knoll And pluck redolent blossoms so fragile and rare. Come to us Spring, beautiful Spring. Long has been the winter of our discontent; Drifted and deep is the snow all around us. Grey clouds abound in the vast firmament. And the wind- how, It moans as it aimlessly roams Through the limbs of the oak tree, the pine and the yew; Delectable Spring, this. song that 1 sing *r Proceeds from s heart which Is longing for you. —Ralph Scoies Thomas. 302 Jackson Boulevard. ‘ Elkhart, Indiana. _—-4 o — SACRED C ONCERT Following is the program for the Sacred Concert to be given at the Grace Lutheran church.

ROADsolrrriNG better Indianapolis, March 17.—A1l j roads in southern and central Indiana are drying rapidly and automobiles and light trucks now* are going through without trouble, according to the weekly traffic bulletin of the state highway commission. John D. Wiliams, director, said that unless there is a protracted wet spell, no further trouble is anticipated this spring because of secondary roads being soft. According to the bulletin, gravel and stone roads now are compact and the thaw has gone out of the ground. A thing of beauty may remain a joy forever, if you let the other fellow marry her. You notice there is just as much ice cream eaten, no matter how hard the times are
