Vote for Amendment. 



That this may be accomplished, however, it is necessary 

 that our citizens should remember, next fall, to vote for the 

 forestry amendment to the state constitution. Otherwise 

 there will be no state forests in which the elk can be placed. 

 There is plenty of waste land available unfit for agriculture 

 but under the present absurd restrictions, the state cannot 

 use it, either for timber growing, game preserves or any other 

 purpose. 



TWILIGHT 



The sun hangs low 



In the purple west, 



The boisterous breezes die, 



The waters glow, 



And their troubled breast 



In dying ripples lie. 



The stars rush out, 



And the friendly woods 



A deep black mystery stand; 



All things in doubt, 



As silence broods, 



A vague ethereal land. 



The snapping fire, 



And the thin wood smoke, 



Goes straight up in the air; 



While mounting higher, 



The moon awoke, 



Sends golden beams so rare. 



Then sharp and clear 



The silence breaks, 



A loon cry o'er the wood, 



As far and near 



Sweet echo wakes. 



O, God, thy land is good! 



C. A. Laflin.
