Somewhere back in the 1890’s, Jc’-n JA Ingalls, who was eitb~" a State Senator of Kansas or a member of the United States St >,te from the state wrote v , following! . GRASS ■ "lying in the sunshine among the buttercups and dandelions in Ifey, scarcely higher in intelligence than the minute tenants of that mimic wilderness, our earliest recollections are of grass; and when the fitful fever is ended and the foolish wrangle of the market and forum is closed, grass heals over the scar which our descent into the bosom of the earth has made, and the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead»'Grass is the forgiveness of nature, her constant benediction. Fields trampled with battle, saturated ’ with blood, tom with the ruts of cannon, grow green with grass, and camage is forgotten* Streets abandoned by traffic become grass grown like rural lanes and are obliterated. Forests decay, harvest perish, flowers vanish, but grass is immortal. Beleaguered by the sullen hosts of Winter it withdraws into the impregnable fortress of its subterranean vitality and emerges upon the first solicitation of Spring. Sown by the winds, by wandering birds, propagated by the subtle agriculture of the elements which are its mirH g+.P-rs and servants, it softens the outline of the world. It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the senses with fragrance or splendor, but its homely hue is more enchanting than the lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in earth, or air, and yet, should its harvest fail for a single year, famine would depopulate the world.” first” grade. ”Are you the best in your class?” JOHNNY: "No, Billy Leishman is first and I am second.
