GREEN THINGS
. O the green things growing, the green things growing,
The faint, sweet smell of the green things growing!
I should like to live whether I smile or crieve.
Just to watch the happy life
O the fluttering and pattering
. How they talk to each other
In the wonderful white of the weird moonlight
Or the dim, dreamy dawn when the cocks are crowing.
And in the rich store of their blossorrs glowing .
Ten for one I take they are on me bestowing: -Oh,
I should like to see, if God,s will it may be.
Many, many a sun mer of my green things growing.
But if I must be gathered for the angels sowing.
Sleeep awhile out of sight,
X Though dust to dust return. I link I'll scarce mourn, -t
If I may be changed into green things a-growing.

Restricted
Immigration
The question of extending the
quota law to Mexico and the
other Latin American countries
haa recently been discussed in
Congress and representative Jno.
. C Box. of Texa, has introduced
bill to that tfi ecf. The rapid in
:rease of imaigrntion from Mex
co in the last few Tears has
caused alarm. Accordeing to relia
bla statistics, it swelled from 15,
000 in 1914 to 60.000 in 1926 and
last vear approached the 70,000
mark. The eontention is that the
farmers of the Southwest would
be hindered in obtaining labor if
ich a bill was passed, but recent
figures showing the large num
ber of unemployed in this coun
try make the possibility of a
shortage of labor seem hardly
probable.
It does not require a great
strain upon the imagination to
vision, even at the rate aliens
are now entering the United
States, an over populated coun
try in the future, consisting of
peoples of dividen interests and
allegiences: a large number of
unemployed, lowering the aver
age wages and staudard of living;
a conglomeration of citizens of
different languages ana nation
ali ties, or. In other words de
atruction. Such a calamity can
best be avoided by restrictive
immigration and asuffscientper
Honel to see that the immigration
laws are strictly enforced.

WASHKOWSKY'S OLD SHOE
We call the sttentlon of th Ameri
can Bankers Association to the case)
or Mr. Wasbkowsky of Brooklyn. Mr.
Wasbkowsky la bard working and
thrifty, but Ilka so many of as bis
education Is defective; who Is to blame
for that w don't know. Mr. Wasb
kowsky has been saving a part of
his weekly wage for s long time, but
hadn't told Mrs. Wasbkowsky wbert
ba waa depositing bis nest egg. That
was a mistake, probably, but an In
quiry Into It belongs to another branch
or education wltb which It Is probable
the banker association cannot be held
to hav any concern.
But wltb Mr. Wasbkowsky' de
pository It baa. Ha cho for that
purpose aa old shoe. He kept the
shoe and Its mate In bis closet, and
up to the other day had tucked away
In one of them aavlngs amounting to
1360. Oo that asms other day Mrs.
Wasbkowsky, rummaging Mr. Wash
kowsky's closet like a good bouse
wife, seeking what she could throw
away or transfor to another place
where Mr. Wasbkowsky couldn't And
it, as Is the habit of good housewives,
found this same pair ktf old shoes. W
Hippos she said to herself, Mr. Wash
'towsky not being presunt to bar It
isld to him. "Isn't that Just Ilk a
roanf and acting thereupon just Ilk
4 woman she sci.t the shoe to tb
obbler to be repaired. It was either
that or tb ash barrel for them, and
being frugal and Mr. Wasbkowsky pay
ing th cobbler bills anyway, she sent
them to tb cobbler.
A distraught man was Mr. Wasb
kowsky when h next went to make a
deposit In bis old shoe. "What aw
