The fad for “slogans’ grows apace. Bridgeport's long used and familiar trademark means business, says The Standard, but a big lot of others, sug- gested elsewhere, mean merely some- thing that will sound well in a con- certed yell. In Harper's Weekly there is an article on that sort of thing in which the writer enumerates some of the most noticeable recent productions as follows: “Keep boostin'’ Houston” was popular for a long while in one portion of Texas, while a Missour} ed- itor composed the slogan ‘“Boom Hume.” ‘“Topeka Kan., Topeka Will" was the happy outcome of a prise competition in that. city some time ago. “What Walla Walla Wants Is You" has a rollicking call, continues this author. But “Mott is the Spot” has & complacency which wins bis art. ‘These slogans catch the ear,” says "The Standard, “and if they do not con- | vey any particular meening, leave a voi The prominent towns of Con- ecticut have slogans that are mot so slow, and yells that appeal to the pub- | lic with pecullar significance, but we | do not see why those already thus accommodated should be denied the benefit If any there is to it. “We might have ‘Whoop Her Up for Hebron!” “‘Yell It Out for Unton!’ ‘Do it Now!’ for New London. urse Your Nerve!' for Norwich. Go to the Length!’ for Winsted. How Old Is Ann? for Andover. Every town should have a slogan and when the little town has two rep- resentatives, give it a couple of good, resounding, echo-breeding, hair-raising battle cries.” The slogan represents a civic spirit and should always be home-made, s0 of course The Bulletin repudiates this commended slogan for the Rose of New England from the Bridgeport Gtandard. The slogan means more to those back of it than to any one else, and ‘the ‘Keep Boostin'” of Houston, Texas, has a push about it one can feel. “Don’t Tumble Down” is con- sidered a good slogan in Norwich just at present WANT AN ACCOUNTING. live union men of California is due to them that the Amer- eration of Labor should give ed account of contributions and made of them.

It was a tiny snowflake With tiny winglets furled: Its warm cloud-mother held it fast Above the sleeping world. All night the wild winds blustered And blew o'er land and sea; But the little snowflake cuddled close, As safe as safe could be. Then came the cold, gray morning, And the great cloud-mother said, “Now, every little snowflake Must proudly Iift its head, And through the air go sailing Till it finds a place to light, For I must weave a coverlet To clothe the earth in white.” The little snowflake fluttered And gave a wee, wee Sigh, But fifty million other flakes Came softly floating by. And the wise cloud-mothers sent them To keep the world's breast warm Through many a winter sunset And many a night of stor A Little Bo; I wonder how T'd like it And wonder who I'd be, Supposing I was somebody else, And somebody else was me!l T wonder, I just wonder What boy T'd like to be; Supposing 1 didn’t like him When I found that he was me!
