WILD FLOWERS
South Dakota, in the United States, has made a new law. Citizens are not to pick wild flowers along its highroads. There are many people too poor to buy flowers who love to make an excursion to the country on Sunday and bring back wild flowers to make their dreary little city rooms gay and beautiful. A law which forbids them to pick wild flowers seems hard. But, after all. it is not hard. They are free to pick if they take the trouble to cross the fields, but they must leave flowers growing along the highroads to cheer the traveller on his way. South Dakota means to be a garden for those who have no garden of their own.
