With so many fine cuts, why do you not have a variety of cover designs? Oriole. Here ' s hoping you have as many if not more farmers than last year. Those that went farming last year deserve praise. Graphic. A few more stories as good CIS the fev published would help a great deal. iUrurian. Your Book Review is in- teresting. Argus. You have one of the best literary departments we have seen. D. C. P. THE OLD CLOCK ' S STORY hark to the tock of the good old clock, As it hangs on the kitchen wall! Now list to its tock, its tick, tick, tock. This message it brings to us all — Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. 1 have a friend, a very dear friend. Who wrote me a letter one night. No letter, no card, no reply did I send. Yet I know that my clock is quite right: Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks cay. I open my Latin and algebra, too, I look at the pages and wince. Then shut them and say, Tomorrow will do But the clock still gives me some hints. Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. My lessons are done and my papers I scatter All over the living-room table. They should be picked up, but what does it matter? I ' ll attend to them when I ' m able. Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. One day not long since I did a rash deed, I chose a fine volume to borrow. And said, I must have a good story to read, But I ' ll surely return it to-morrow. Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. I know of a man, a patient old man, Who lies very sick in his bed. I ' ll go cheer him some day when I can. But I do other things in its stead. Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. O hark to the tock of the good oiu clock, As it hangs on the kitchen wall! Now list to its tock, its tick, tick, tock. This message it brings to us all — Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. Ruth I. Carlson, ' 21. 24
