Show THE TOWN DOCTOR (Doctor of Towns) SAYS Then the birds .came out, and immediately it stopped raining, i Who told the birds that the rain would cease what guided the flies to an autombile? ; Call it God nature if you 1 like or instinct may suit your pleasure; but call it what you may, who can sit at the water's edge in a raging storm, watching watch-ing man and bird and insect and say there is no . great Master Mind? Where is the man who thinks his pwers of such import that he can match the gift that tells a little bird that Tt ain't gonna rain no more ?' Country man, go to the city, city man go to the wide open spaces, and there learn your insignificance. in-significance.

HOW DO LITTLE BIRDS KNOW WHEN 'IT AIN'T GONNA GON-NA RAIN NO MORE ?' j One day last summer I sat! out on the lake front watching j the play of both young and old, ' when a storm came up. j The wind blew out and the ! peop?e flew in and the rain came ' down in torrents. Lightning ; flicked wickedly over the water and the waves rolled to shore with adornment. It was very apparent where the people went.
