Some write poetry bccaiiae they have nothiiiir elfic to do some be- cadse they do anything else. Burns waB one of the latter kind. He was the son of a small farmer and befjan hia career as a plow hoy soon after his birth in 1759.

However, if agriculture in Scotland depended on efforts the country would soon have become a desert. I He wius so poor as a farmer that it was to educate him instead. This was done and Burns began to write poetry at a early From that time Burns made his living from It was a very poor living upto the time of death. Since tlioi it has got steadily better until now a great many people make tiieir living lirom poetry and tlie man who can recite his verses with the true Scotch accent which sounds like a drill cutting into a wisdom tooth need never but food and drink. Burns had a overflowing witii sentiment, if he been an ordinary man this would merely have got him into trouble, but ho Avas a j)oet and whenever he had a love affair he embalmed it in verse of such exquisite beauty tliat people would weep over it and thank Providence that virtue was not more rampant in Scotland in the 18th century.

Burns lived with the common people in the common way most of Ills life, and managed to find enough CEMENT GOING UP 29 CENTS A BARREL Texnpe, Jaon. is ro inf? up 29 cents a barrel the first of March and the water association is makincT arrangements to bulM a big warehouse across Salt river from Tempe, to store at least 25,000 barrels, which will bo in the construction of the new electrl'c pow'er plant and prfifsure pipe. 50,000 barrels will be used in putting up the power plant and in conRtructinp: the pressure pipe to convey the water of the new crosscut canal ar'ross a w'ide flat to the turbines.

This should be a perpetual rebuke to the discontented folk who find nothing but fatigue and dreariness in any life which is not saturated in gasoline.

Burns wrote his poetry in the Scotch dialect, which is a great advantage, be- caase when he could not an English word to rhyme he could use a Scotch one. He loved Scotland and made it so beautiful that tourists who visit it nowadays have much trouble in recognizing it. A good poet can make a paradise out of a mud hut on a stone while a bad business man can make a hell out of an Miehanting valley with a few smokestacks and a supreme court which believe in child labor laws. That why the world has always loved poets. Bairns lived a crowded and exciting life and those who have read his adventures with lassies and laws are surprised find that he managed to pack it all mto 37 years.

No people begin life so afl poets or make it hum ao while are about bv George Matthew Adams.
