Rowboats and angleworms for rent . - Geo . Reid , Silver Lake .

I know now why they call that road Sweet street in Shelby . It's because Ruth Near lives on it . - Neva Unruh ( sheezadear ) roam- ed up and down all the shelves in the Shelby library and said she wanted to read only blood - and - thunder stories , where two people get up and kill each other . And Louise Kruger roamed along on the shelves after her and tried to help her find one .

Mother it's getting awfully warm . Let's go to Welsh's and get some cool things to wear .

Kenneth Kokx , the four year old nephew of Ed . Kokx of Weare went upstairs and lighted the lace curtains and then came down stairs in a kind of awed , scared voice and said " The house is on fire . "

At the Mears school they call Lottie Urtel , Mud Turtle , not be- cause she is shaped like a mudturtle but because that rhymes with her name .

I saw Ursula Christian and Georgiana Muir waiting on Brubaker's corner in the very heart of the busy city of Mears , at the point where the traffic congestion is the fiercest , and I felt instinctively that they were just waiting there watching for a moment's pause in in the traffic so they could scurry across the street in a little gap in the motor - animus and start walking to highschool in Hart before the incessant swirl of the tide of autos and trucks and streetcars and yelling taxicab drivers closed in again and made pedestrian passage im- possible . Chester A. Brubaker has a new Reo sedan

Lois Switzer of Ludington had her picture taken in overalls holding a big fifish and the picture was entitled chicken and fish to advertise the Verbeck Tavern . Mrs. Verbeck has aesthetic ideas about landscape gardening and she has built some stepping stones down the slope - side of the tavern dooryard that terminate at the sundial . Along it grows the unmassed blue and yellow gar- den , grows like scattered golden hairs on the wind swept head of a damsel , grows like scattered blue threads in a damask , Yellow vio- lets and golden ball and golden glow , blue violets , and phlox and forgetmenots and other flowers that come and go as the swift sea- sons fly , and ever a something is vanishing , something else is ap- pearing , some new flower has its day . So life goes on at the Ver- beck Tavern and Blanche Wise plays the player - piano while the breezes blow thru the open - air dining room and the meals are set to music .

Ellis Sherman vulcanizes and repairs tires and tubes at his place in the old Reed garage in Pentwater and sellss gasoline , oil , tube and accessories .

Do you know about George Hawley and his nursery trees ? Yes Edith Hawley's father makes nursery trees , that is trees to pla in the nursery . Such a tree perhaps as Eugene Field had in min in one of his nursery rhymes or Poems o Childhood ,, when lie wrote that ouching poem about " When the dinkey bird is singing in the Amphalulu tree . " Yes , the amphalulu tree must have bee .. one of those nursery trees , you héern tell about . Maybe no we could make up some nursery rhymes about George Hawley's nur- sery . Let me see :

There is a tall geezer and his name is George Hawley ,

He's three feet taller than Algernon Whalley .

He called for his rake and he called for his spade

And he made a new tree that gave lemonade ,

That was prized for its berries and prized for its shade . Now George is a genius and you know it by Gawly

This little lady , here name is Helen ,

In five or six years we give her a bellin '

We are proud of her wonderful quality hair , She brushes it daily with tenderest care ,

And washes it yearly with the juice of a melon . Edith , Edith rakes and seedeth ,

All he dooryard , all the lawn , All the grass down to the street . Edith , Edith , all you needeth Is a red and flaring skirt

You would make a hit complete . Edith ,, Edith , seedeth , weedeth While the boys go passing by

Some one needeth , some one bleedeth When they catch fair Edith's eye .

And so the wonderful Hawley girls grew up in a nursery with- out any nursery maid , and they rode in the Haynes and they took lots of pains with their lessons and hair . And they followed the narrow garden path past the shrubbery with the big red flowers down to see their sister - in - law who was a school teacher until she got completely carried away with the Monroe Doctrine . They found out that their father had made most of his money by graft , not political graft at all , but appletree graft , because he listened to a good prophet and heeded the scions of the times .

If ever I saw a fine mist , a gol - blasted man - made geyser mist coming from a spray machine , it was Saturday , morning when Mr. H. G. Kimball took me into Clayt Ellis's shed down by the railroad track and showed me the workings of the Tirrel Air Spray System . This spray machine was so different in its working from any I ever saw that I must tell you about it . It is made without valves . You know most of these spile - driver things they use in the orchards have to force the yellow juice out at tremendous pressure . Maybe 250 or 300 pounds . I suppose that is the reason they are always breaking the dam rams so much . They have to have a lot of force behind them so when the fluid strikes the air it is vaporized by the contact . But the Tirrell Air Sprayer doesn't work like that . It only needs 15 pounds pressure . There is a rotary air pump that mixes the air up with the spray dope - com- pressed air up with the jjuice and vaporizes the spray dope before it leaves the machine . This machine has 150 less working parts than the other sprayers , it has no valves to get out of order , it needs no agitator turning in the reservoir for compressed air is forced into the cypress tank and keeps it aboiling . It seems they makem down at Bridgman , Michigan . It's got a nozzle that can't clog , there is nothing about the pump that breaks and it is made to last a lifetime . I turned over Mr. Kimball's card and read a little smoke - house poetry which started out : " He who sprays and does it well , Sends all the pesky bugs to hell .
