llHATHAM NEWS I want to be down on old Cape Cod
To breathe in deep of the salt sea air
And feel its lusty kiss on my hair.
To see red apples against a sky
Blue as the Cote D'Azur—to lie
Ou the hard packed sands and dream again
Of far off lands aud the Spanish Main.
I want to forget old hates and strife
And live a happier, saner life.
To drop in again at the General Store
And greet the oldtime friends once more—
Harry and Foster, Fred and Bill,
H'ya folks—Are you all there stilH
I want a talk fest with Sadie and Dan,
Helen , Nate, Alvers, and all the Clan.
I want Spring arbutus—summer seas,
Autumn beacb plums, and reveries
Before a stove where driftwood casts
Beautiful hues through the isinglass—
And a big red tabby that, purrs in his sleep
With the purple asters and golden rod-
All this I want, and shall have, one day,
When a fair wind blows the fog away.
—Edna Willis Swift,
Orleans, former Summer Resident
Calling Cape Cod
This column is open to our readers for the expression of their
opinions on any subject in the public interest. The views and opiulons
expressed are not necessarily those ot the management and tha
PATRIOT assumes no rosponslblity regarding them.
To the Editor of the Barnstable
Patriot:
"There comes to my mind a legend;
A thing I had half forgot.
And whether I read It or dreamed it
Methinks it matters not.
Once upon a tlmo, in a far coun-
try, there lived a man of much
honor and Integrity, more perhaps
than most of his time, and by in-
telligence and industry, ho hud ac-
quired great possessions. Because
a part of his business was to take
small articles of great value to u
land beyond the desert, he must
needs havo many camels, which as
everyone knows , were In thoso
days, the only means of crossing
the Sea of Sand.
Now at one time there were
found to be some strange buasts
among his herds and it was sus-
pected that they were strayB from
a distant neighbor, who strangely
enough, made no effort to recover
them. Now a camol la not apt to be
a friendly animal but thoso strange
beasts niado ugly aud raucous
sounds und had a defiant manner,
so that many of this man's friends
besought him to cast them forth,
lest they make trouble and do
harm. But being a kindly and pa-
tient person, and biiBy with im-
portant mutters, he disregarded
their counsel.
Now there came a tlmo when he
niUBt needs muko a quick and ur-
gent trip across tho Groat Desert
und, as many of his trusty boasts
were on other errands, he took tho
smartest of these strange brutes
for his Journey. All went well until
his busiuess was transacted und
he was ou bis way home, with his
pouches full fo gold and precious
stones. Then in the middle of his
way there came on a night that was
bitterly cold, with north winds and
sand In the air. So he opened his
camel's pack aud got out his line
warm lent tor his protection, also,
as was his custom, providing some-
what of shelter for his beast.
In the early hours ot the night,
however, there was a stir at the
door of the tent and, mindful ot
his gold, he called out sharply,
"Who is it? Who is there?" Now it
was his camel's voice he heard, say-
ing lowly, "It is only I, master. It
Is very cold without and tbere Is u
bitter wind. Perhaps you would al-
low me to put my noso Inside the
tent here by my master's feet. "
Being a kind man and considerate
and also very sleepy and In need
ot rest, the master Bald , "Very woll ,
only bo quiet for wo must rest for
tomorrow's journey."
But in the (middle of the night,
again he felt bis foot disturbed
and again demanded, "What goes
on here that my rest Is broken?"
And the camel (for It wan ho) re-
plied with more assurunne,—"Thoro
Is plenty of room for my head to
como Inside and share your com-
fort. Am I not a member of your
family und entitled to have my
share of good things." Now tho
master did not like the sound of
this but he hoped to hour no more
or such Impudence aud again nought
peace.
But in the early hours of the
morning, when the light was turn-
ing gruy over tho sunds, there was
somothlug pushing ut bis side und
to his amazement It wus the cambl
and the boast looked very fierce
and snarled and showed his groat
yellow tooth. And tho cumel said,—
"Now It Is my turn. I am strongor
than you und I have tho advantage
and I shall take all you have for
myself and my fellows and ir you
resist, you shull be woundod and
killed and If you do not, you shall
work for mo and mine from dawn
to dark , until your vory bones cry
for mercy. This Is why I came to
your fold und brought my males
und I have been saying so all the
time, only you would not believe
mo. You aro more foolish than my
own master who can scheme and
contrive fur beyond you ami In time
be will own (he world und all that
therein Is. Now you can got put,"
Ho the camel thrust at the Hide of
the tent and torn It to shreds and
pushed tho man out onto the sunil.
And ho seized the bugs of gold and
Jewels and with u snoor made off
toward the camel fold,
Then the man raised himself pain-
fully fnim the ground und looked
about him. Ills line tent wus rulnod
und lorn upon the ground and his
possessions scattered. Jie turned
and gazed after his traitorous
camel , who was swiftly disappear-
ing from sight. He thought or the
beautiful home and surroundings to
which the creature wus approach-
ing and ot what would happen to
ull that he and his fathers had so
carefully built through the years.
And thou like a terrible blow there
cumo Ihe thought or bis white
haired lather and mother and or
his gracious and beautiful wire und
his Innocent young children. What
would soon bo happening to them l
With a great agony he raisod his
tortured body from the sands and
crept aud stumbled and fell and
rose to stumble again in the direc-
tion of all ho loved most. Aud had
thoro been an ear to hour they
might have caught these words ,
"Alas that 1 was not on guard!"
It is to our advantage to consider
the fablos of our fathers. That these
ancient stories survive Is proof
Hint they contain truth. Lot those
who couusei moderation, toloratlou,
laissez falre bewaro lest they are
engulfed in the ruins when our
avowed enemies havo dug away the
foundations of our House oC State.
As they will , unless clear , cool com-
mon sense and a fearless hand in-
tervene. "God give us mo" of wis-
dom and will.
—Adn M. George

The bond issue of $100,000,000
for highway construction In this
state has been passed. Senator
Stone reports that the plan for
which ho has fought has succeeded]
namely, that at least $6,000,000 will
he spent In each of the 4 districts

ropolitan area. He feels that this
plan will insure completion of the
stretch of Route 6 at Welllleot , the
