The Wind.
(By Alice Wingate Frary.)
The wind's activities hold the small
child's attention the clouds, the fly
ing flag, and pinwheels, clothes sway
ing on the line, the blowing of chil
dren's hair and the tails of the fowls
the swaying trees and grass, while
the weathervane.
'Turning, pointing, ever showing
How the merry wind is blowing,"
asks repeatedly, "Where? How?"
There are a number of verses easi
ly memorized which will make the
wind seem a friendly element; "The
Weather vane," by Laura E. Rich
ards, "I Saw '.You Toss the Kites
on High," by Stevenson, and Chris
tina Rossetti's
"Who hath seen the wind?
Neither you nor I,
But when the trees bow down
their heads,
The wind is passing by."
As the child makes these verses his
own listens to stories such as "Jan"
(in Mother Goose Stories by Maud
Lindsay) and "Aeolus and the Bag of
Winds, and learns what the differene
winds bring, he is being awakened to
a finer appreciation of a force that
can be so gentle and yet so mighty.
Was there ever a child that did not
ask, "Where does the wind come
from?" It is part of the high office
of parenthood to deepen a child's in
herent sence of reverence before the
elements, to prevent if possible its de-J
terioration into empty wonder or mor
bid fear. It is well to cultivate the
feeling of awe, teaching the careless
child that the piling up of thunder
clouds and the bowing- of the wind
swept trees are to be appreciated by
this same appreciation leading the ti
mid one out of fear.
The wind signifies the spirit. No
mother who desires a well-rounded
development for her child will fail
to recognize his need of inner strength
his misconceptions that need straight
ening. While the kingdom of heaven
. is the inheritance of child-like hearts,
children have need of guidance and,
they guide us too, when we are clear
sighted enough to respond, but our
emphasis upon values which are un
seen helps to raise our children's stan
wards. Froebel's Mother Play of the
Weavervane brings to the child its
tale of. the wind's work and play; to
the mother it brings a reminder of
the inner forces that must be strength
ened, the inner light that may illum
ine puzzling situations. Two books
which arlielpful in this respect are
"The Notebook of an Adopted Moth
er," by Eleanor Davids (E. P. Dutton
Company, New York) and "The Spir
itual. Care of a Child" by Anna Rob
ertson Lindsay, (T. Y. Crowell Com
pany, New York) the latter with its
vigorous reassurance of a truth all
too easily ignored.
"Only God can bring up a child.
Nothing will bridge the abyss of the
aetal and the ideal except faith, hope,
love, work and the immediate -help of
divinity."

In a Friendly Sourt O' Way.
When a man ain't got a cent, and
he's feeling kind of blue,'
iV the clouds "ang dark an' heavy,
an' won't let the sunshine
, through.
It's a great thing, O, my brethren,
for a feller just to lay
His hand .upon your shoulder in a
'friendly sort b way.
It makes a man feel curious, it
makes the teardrops start,
An' you sort o' feel a curious flut
ter in the region of the heart.
You can look up and meet his eyes ;
you don't know what to say,
When you feel his hand is on your
shoulder in a friendly sort
o' way.
Oh, the world's a curious compound,
with its honey and its gall,
With its cares and bitter crosses,
but a good old world after all.
An' a good God must have made it
leastways, that is what I
say,
When a hand is on my shoulder in
a friendly sort o' way.
James Whitcomb Riley.

Eer
After seven solid months of closed doors. Due-to the contruction of a new home
and the improving of streets, we are again open for business, and invite the public to
inspect the wonderful changes we have .made. These became necessary to compete
with the present trend and demands of times. In order to compete with conditions as
they are it become necessary to make such changes, as would reduce overhead and
operating expense. Also modernize our shop to increase, efficiency. In order to
bring about such results it was decided that better quarters were necessary, therefore
we are ow in our new home, which is fully equippd to take care of any and all work.
We are now able to store your car, wash and polish, clean motor, recharge and overhaul
storage battery and geeral repairing. This puts us in a position to reduce our over
head by taking in the stay dollar. -
In order to increase efficiency it was necessary to have absolute daylight in all
corners, pure fresh air at all hours. Warm when its cold, and cool when Its warm.
You must have good machinery, good tools, good equipment and good, mechanics.
These we have. Your work can now be taken care of in schedule time, and in a most
efficient and economic manner, and BETTER SERVICE FOR LESS MONEY.
