 The cake contest inaugurated by the ladies of the Methodist Episcopal church was closed last night The cake has for several days occupied a place in H. A. Diehls windows to the exclusion of the regular stock It was a mammoth and ornabe affair and looked as if it would be good. It was to be given to some young lady of the highest mental and physical charms. The populace was to be the judge and was to pay dime for each decision. Several young ladies were entered in the contest, but yes- terday afternoon Miss Edith Jacobs and Miss Nora Parree became the leaders. After that the voting was fast and furious and when the final count was made it was found that Miss Jacobs had received 753 and Miss Parre.t 653 So the cake cost a great deal of money and might have been made Ito cost great deal more if the Australian or some other secret bal ot system had been employed.
 There was an unexpected echo of the Durrant case yesterday. On the day following the execution of that misguided young man. Frank Clina, his sons Walter and Tom and her residents of Tonto Basin were in town. In the course of a discussion as to whether justice had been done, Frank Cline hit man in the face for believing that Durrant should have been hanged two years ago. There was some other disturbance for which the Tonto Basin parties were arrested on Warrants from both the police court and a justices court. They were released on their own recog- nizance and left the next morGing be- fore the machinery of the law was put in motion. Frank Cline came to town yesterday and was arrested on the justices warrant. He protes ed his innocence and said he could prove it by his son Frank, who was not in town, but was near by. Officers Mol Toy and Doheney advised him to bring Frank in as a witness. When Frank came into the limits the officers served the old city warrant on him and the trial of both, resulting in convic ion, took place before Recorder Jobs at o'clock. Officers Doheney and Mol i Joy had been preparing to go into Tonto Basin to hunt deer and bear soon. They will content themselves with hunting ducks in the Buckeye region.

The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck, Il Love to See a Little Dog and Pat Him on the Head,' and other classic selections. On account of the diver sity of character of these subjects the judges will have a difficult task. But the judges have been selected with reference to their literary qualifica- tions and not to their beauty, so that no doubt the award will be given where it will belong. They are N. A. Morford, J. O. Dunbar and William Spear. The prize will be awarded by Governor McCord. Chief Justice Street will preside at the contest. The price of admission will be 25 cents.

IA frankness that is almost brutal seems to pass current in society for up-Uo-date sma1Itness, and the Ian guage that is now used by certain fashionable people among themselves is sometimes only a. little short or bilEngsgate, while ''swear words seem to have lost their awfulness and are used almost as freely by women as by men. It is curious hcw gen tiIis v both as a word and a quality has disappeared Fashionable peo- pie are distinctly no longer "genteel. They may on occasions be high bred, but the mincing propriety of the belles and beaux of yore has en- tirely disappeared. In well known society, novel written fifteen or twen- ty yeafs ago, which was presuma- bly correct delinealion of the manners and hs stSo of the fashionable life of thas time, two heroines play their role. Ore, a We're de We're, With the cor~e(t speech and manners of her eas5e, and the other a suddenly ex- aiter bourgeoise, who goes through the social fires of criticism and ex- pegience before she emerges true gold from the ordeal. Oddly enough, to- day the types might be reversed; it is the bourgeoise who is Thigh toned and the We're de We're who is a slangy hoy den.
 The members of the fashionable world danced last week peTsistently and indefatigably and will keep it up with a few periods of cessation until the first day of the penetenIiial season-Ash Wednesday.

souri,. This population is worse .Ian dull
it is aggressively stupid, and it Insists all
progress. living in shabby houses, eating
coarse food and wearing the cheapest
clothing. 1t does not care well for fields,
or domestic animals, for fences, buildings
or farm machinery. 1t CONSUMES nothing
literally except whisky and tobacco. 1t is
lacking in ambition to attain better modes
OF living. 1t is, in fact, peasantry. with
out the cleanliness, industry and thrift of
the French and German peasants. With a
backing of such people as these in the coun-
try close at hand st. Louis was at a great
disadvantage in the race for trade with
Chicago, which is surrounded by the most
active and intelligent farming population in
America.
Yet, in spite of these drawbacks, St. Louis
is constantly growing, and has attained a
population which gives her rank with the
great cities of the world. In ten years more
she will surely pass the million mark. She
has the best street-railway system of any
American city. Her Union Passenger Depot
is by far the largest and handsomest rail-
way station in the country She covers
with stores, factories and dwellings about
sixty-three square miles of territory Her
trade reaches south to the Gulf of Mexico
and west to the Rocky mountains. In some
lines, and notably in those of boots and
shoes, beer, tobacco and groceries, it sur
passes in volume that of Chicago. She is
farther west than Chicago, but she is not
nearly so Western in character. The spirit
of the South with its easy-going ways its
anliability, its hospitality and it's sociabil-
ity, has here tempered the eager, agrees
sive, positive type of the North. st. Louis
people are never too busy to stop in the
street and shake hands with friends, or to
spend their evenings in social chat and
outdoor concerts, or to take long summer
vacations on the Minnesota lakes or at the
distant seaside resorts.
Chicago, with it's two million inhabitants.
is, of course, our greatest wonder of rapid
city growth. but almost equally wonderful
is the steady progress of st. Louis towards
the million figure. The question arises, will
the American people ever stop building
cities and turn their efforts to making rural

there ever come a time when, instead of
boasting of the miles of asphalt pavements
in our cities, we can describe the excellence
of the country roads? When, instead of
talking of the colleges and high schools in
the towns, we can be proud of the educa-
ton given to farmers sons and daughters
in the country schools? A time when farm

and intellectual stagnation. and when to

second place, who are each and all immor-
tai souls, and. therefore, capable of being
made the children of freedom instead Of the
oppressed slaves of superstition and ignor-
ance for all the world as fast as reason al
lows, in the noble conviction that. while it
is good thing to love our country, it is a
still better thing to be citizens of the all
embracing kingdom of God, each standing
ever ready to serve every other soul in the
name of truth, righteousness and love.
Whatever may be the motives which some
hastily express when talking of this war, /
believe that at the heart of our people there
is selfish aim. We are not fighting to
gain territory, and, if that comes, it will
only be on the general principle that they
who are fit to rule shall be required to rule.
We fighting. If ever a nation did, for
others rather than ourselves. We are fight
ing to remove the barriers of human happi-
ness and progress And we are carrying on
the war, / believe with high-minded self
restraint, with most chivalrous treatment
of our foes. with kind care and right feeling
toward all prisoners, and with desire for
the least possible destruction of life ard
property.
If such are truly our motives and meth
DDS, and if at the conflicts close all our ac-
lions directed to the common welfare
Of humanity, and not by vindictive spirit
against the defeated nor by selfish consid-
Grafton for ourselves, we shall have done
more than nation ever did before toward
ushering in the day when war shall no
longer be factor in the evolutionary pro-
cess.
In the kingdom of heaven as we shall
know it after death the law of evolu-
ton will, 1 think, still impel us onward,
but 1T will spring out of noble rivalry
in doing good, while each PERSONS strife
will be mainly against his own imperfec-
tions; and it is that state of things which
we wish to have prevail ION earth as it is
in heaven" But it cannot come until all
nations have become so unselfish in spirit
that they are able to employ the arbitra-
ment of brotherly love in place of arms;
and if we make our var such an one as
that while it is altogether unlikely that it
will release the world from further fight
ing, it will certainly provide the world with
an object lesson of far-reaching influence
in favor of peace on earth.
There are in the world worse things
than war, and that is all that can be
said in excuse of war. AT present we
have to fight in order to handle without
gloves those worse things, but the time
will come when the evolution of mankind
will consist of the steady lifting up
of the weak and imperfect rather than
in their destruction-a time in which he
roism, personal strength of character and
unselfish willingness to be faithful to duty
will far surpass anything that the warning
world has known.
And when that day appears men will un-
derstand better than they do now the glory
of a life whose strength is simple righteous
ness, and whose victories cause no humilia-
tons. 1t will be the day when men have
at last accepted the spirit of Jesus Christ
as really having a meaning for this world.

interest to fruit growers throughout the
State:
Referring to our conversation concerning
protection against frost for vegetables and
mcnly in use, and very successfully so, in
parts of Carolina and Virginia, as follows:
In the fall, some weeks before danger of
cold, one should procure supply of pine
sawdust from the mills Around each field
of not more than four acres area tand two
acres is better) the sawdust should be de-
posted in conical piles. fifty feet apart and
two bushels of sawdust in each heap. These
heaps should be placed all the way around
each lot. as the wind may shift to any quar-
ter. When the thermometer shows danger
of frost, at o'clock in the morning let men
take cans of common kerosene and go to
each alternate heap make a little opening
In the top of the heap. pour in one or two
tablespoonfuls OF kerosene and set it on fire.

hery resolutions demanding that the man4
agement of the opera company shall gfve|

cure singers who can properly undertake

that our friends in London are not getting

OF hearing M. de Reszke in Siegfried at the
Auditorium, and we believe we remained
spellbound, as it were, from I:45 until 1915
or thereabout. If Jean omitted any of the
score we were not conscious of it, Indeed
cartain gentlemen who sat near us hazarced
the opinion that they were throwing In an
other opera or two for good measure. This
is the first time within our recollection tina [
anybody has complained of the brevity of a
Wagner performance, and we are sincerely
sorry that we were not there to experience
the sensation. Devoted as we are to our
musical saint we have felt for long time
that II an hour or two could be sliced off

receive the. full equivalent of our money.
However, there is no accounting for tastes,
and if Herr Wagner intended that his audi
ences shall sit UP all night to catch the COM
plete significance of his music dramas we
presume his intentions should be fulfilled.

Cool water sliding slow

Somewhere the green boughs meet
Beyond the roofs q row;
Somewhere the blue skies show;
Somewhere no black walls crush
