Page 18 HIGH NEWS TO LIVE NATURALLY. As spring develops, the human soul is stirred by the glory of early sun- rise, of fresh green grass and leaf, and drinks the perfume of blossoms. In turn it pours forth the noblest from within itself to the environment with- out. By just such instinct a bee sips nectar from the flower to produce its delicious honey. Our little worker does not waste valuable energy in go- ing to flowers which do not contain material to satisfy that inborn tend- ency. Nature provides for the human as she provides for the bee But often we do not live naturally, and contrary to the bee, visit flowers which do not hold an essential material for our dev- elopment. Nectar lies upon our bookshelves. Why do we waste moments upon “True Story” or such magazines which excite the nerves to such a pitch that we look upon life in the extreme ? Soon we will fail to live rationally and naturally. Literature absorbed by us. if allayed will be extended in our con- versation and activity as the bee pours forth its honey from the blossoms; hence we will become undesirable per- sons to those of our surroundings. On the other hand, if one delves in sub- stantial reading, he will be desired by those about him as a friend. Such friendship as this constantly fills the atmosphere with fragrance as does a beautiful rose—a companion whose deed and thought is at all times vir- tuous. To live naturally, the universe liv- es in acord with its neighbor, in coher- ence with blossom, bee and bird. Miss Bell—Now, Herbert, how many seasons are there? Herbert—Do you mean in United States ? Miss Bell—Yes. Herbert—Two. Miss Bell—Only two, name them ? Herbert—Soccer Baseball. Francis G.—Gracious, Edwin, how did you get your hands so filthy ? Edwin H.—Washing my face. ROBERT L HARTLE, SVUTHSBURG, MD. INSURANCE PHONE 54 All kind of Insurance written including Fire, Tornado and Wind- storm.
