We're sorry it had to be $0, but there are so many things that just have to be done to keep a growing child properly dressed that the folks from out of town ought to forgive us if they find Us with a button off here and there or a rip in our coat. The old is rapidly giving way to the new in every line of activity. ame landmarks that have been familiar to our eyes for years are giving way to solid, permanent ‘steel and masonry; worn pavements are being replaced with new; mountain-high hills are being leveled; new — homes are appearing in clusters in every district, It’s all fascinating. There's beauty in the skeleton-like framework of our new skyscrapers and the riveter sounds a note of real music. 3 : Our shipping board wouldn't take a billion dollars for its ships, This, also, is the value of a June bride.

Summer, to most people—tho the other seasons, especially spring, have their charms. And the older you get, the more you will like summer, the more you will dread winter. : For summer, with its luxurious growth as shown in the accompanying pen-picture by Artist Satterfield, is sym- bolic of life at its best. ; Spring corresponds to our babyhood. It is the sprout- ing season, full of hope, dreams, uncertainty, danger of Ay nn is like the waning years of life, when we har- vest oo have sown, when we suffer for our negligence ‘and mistakes and are rewarded for our effort. Most of us, when we look backward in the autumn of life, say: “If I only had my life to live over again * * *” Winter, of course, corresponds to human death, the | hibernating of old growth until new growth is ready to | sprout and bud. > All three of these seasons are preparatory to or the aftermath of summer. And summer is the period of LIFE—of accomplishment mbolic of the lives we are "living. Lucky are you who have survived the frosts of life’s springtime. Your crop of success is started.

By this time the camping party was 28 miles from even a vil- Tage. @w Dolan needed a doctor, so one of the Indian Guigms wek hivw the 28 miles by canoe-and portage. “he piase wasn’t even a village,” Dolxn tells the story. “Tt was a cemmudity of about 15 houses, no stores. I way to the doctor's house. It was a little welling. The doctor's wife—in gingham wrap- hal her hands gnarled and red from helping her hus- id ff fight for existence—came to the door. She in- ied me that the celebrated physician ‘was out back, ping wood, and to just step into his office. “The office was a surprise.” “This office,” Dolan continues, “looked like business. ‘The linoleum had a faked inlaid-tiles design. In one cor- ner was a white enameled bookcase affair with glass ©, Shelves, in which the doctor’s shining tools were dis- / played. On a table were the latest medical magazines. “The doctor showed up presently. He had ‘washed up’ and donned a white hospital jacket. He examined me thoroly, painted’ my throat ulcers, then went into his dis- -pensing laboratory whence, after half an hour with mor- tar and pestle, he emerged with a pint of throat gargle ‘and another pint of tonic. “His charge for the whole works, examination and med- ‘icine and all, was one dollar. I protested that I didn’t want to shove him any nearer the poorhouse, but he said: “A dollar is all I can charge the local settlers, and I wouldn’t feel square to ask any more of an outsider, not even Rockefel or Ford!’ “T baited him with questions and learned that most of | his work in his far-flung community was charity. Also ' that he had to chop his own firewood and farm a big garden to make both ends meet. “It was amazing, his intuitive medical genius. I found that he was up to the minute on medical science, treating Several endocrine gland cases in the backwoods and checking two cancers by radium borrowed by registered mail from a far-off city. “*Sometimes I h I had hung out my shingle in a larger and more remunerative community,’ the doctor confided almost pathetically as he gazed out the window. ‘But I can't leave these people. They need me, Someone has to be here, to care for them when they get ill.’” * * * There is a great lesson in this backwoods doctor's life of self-sacrifice for duty. Men like this old country doc- tor are the foundation stones of civilization. Duty—the purpose for which we were put into this world—is very plain to all of us. And there are more than you would think, of people like the backwoods coun- try doctor at the outskirts of civilization—the unsung truly great.
