CITIES, like privato enterprsles,

you that she simply has to bawl yu

THE Pltfrlt SEASON
.
WASHINGTON has a "lazy hus
band law." Under its terms
wife deserters aro put at
grubbing stumps on Btato land, their
wages going to their families.
At Seattle It Is estimated that tho
system will cost tho taxpayers $35,
000 a, year to keep lazy husbands
busy. Tho Post-lntolllgoncor, there
fore, urges abollBluuunt of the stock

saying It will be Infinitely cheaper
to pay tho men wages to remain Idlo

Tho papor, of course, Is wrong. It

The picnic season is a theme for praise
As full of flies and joy
As In the old historic days
When Moses was a boy,
As full of sticky cake and swings,
And little girls in white
And Lovers and the other tilings.
That make the world seem right.
No doubt since hoary tlmo began
The children came together
To count the days, and hope and plan
For sunny picnic weather;
To talk of Baptist lemonade
And how the rainstorm came :
Before the Methodists had played j
A single picnic game,
i
i
Then hail the many picnic joys
That make their rounds again,
To thrill the hearts of little boys
And also grown up men!
And we shall all be old, indeed,
With cause for swift alarm,
When picnics fail to fill a need
And ever cease to charm,
