Spring Has Came

Spring makes her annual debutThe sugar pine's in bloom, Paul Bunyan and his big, blue ox Across the landscape zoom, The fallers now go forth to fellYou say that's ungrammatic? Still, I insist that fallers fell And make the charge emphatic. The sap arises from the ground, It drips from every tree, The shingle shakes with pure delight, The slashers slash with glee; I hear the long leaf yellow pine, The cedar nods at redwood, We're going to have a lumber year, I'm knocking now on deadwood.

The bull pine dashes from his lair, O. P. serenely struts, Though often now he stoPs to beam A flocks of cedar butts.

Great logs are rushing here and there, The fir is looking spruce, Spring says, "for feeling sad and low, There ain't no earthly use."

The loggers log, the millmen mill, The salesman sports new clothes, Wholesalers and retailers, too, Discount their ancient woes. One can't be pessimistic now When spring is in the land; So, one for all and all for one, Let's boost to o""t$.oolXX;,"* conner.

Joe Bobba with his accordion, and his two singers provided the musical entertainment.

Pr,esident Tom Branson presided.

B. E. Byran gave a brief talk on the fine qualities of the late Frank W. Trower and read a letter of sympathy sent to Mrs. Trower by Secretary Carl R. Moore in behalf of the Club.
