The Battle Of bargains.

A favorite subject Of the jokesmiths has
of late years been the bargain counter rush.
They have rung the changes on that place
Of pushing and personal peril. They have
depicted the up-to-date woman clad In ar
NOR to resist the ferocious Assaults OF the
other bargain seekers They have shown
Mere Man. helpless as q babe. hemmed in
by determined women clutching franticaily
over shoulders for choice bits OF marked
down goods They have preached the prof.
ect of ambulance attachments to the bar
gain counters. They have discussed the bar
gain hunters chagrin at home over the net
results Of her plunge into the maestrom Of
trade.
But in reality there has been some exag-
geration about all this. There have been
crushes. Of course. at places where nifty
cent dress skirts were to be sold for a dime
and dollar umbrellas were displayed for
quarter. but the real bargain charge. the
furious onset Of frenzied women. the foot
ball-iike maneuvers Of groups to gain ad-
vantage have been largely fictitious. mere
pleasantries typical Of our rough-and-ready
American humor. which thrives on magnifi-
cation and develops with extravagance.
And yet here is a BIT Of news from st.
Joseph. Mo-. that supports the position OF
the tol1esmiths:
Mrs Susan weiland was probably fatally
injured and many other shoppers were hurt
today In a bargain-day rush at depart
ment store The chief Of police ordered the
store closed. but rescinded the order when
he found that the ten policemen on duty
there had the situation under control. A
number Of women were carried out OF the
crowd overcome by heat. each In a faintfng
condition. but all were able to go home
without medical attention except Mrs.
Weiland."
After this there will be more respect for
the folks who compare bargain hunting
with warfare and speak Of modern woman
as afraid of nothing.

Vacations End.

When the branch is all bare.
When the blossom is fair
And the meadow grows sullen and brown
When the cars seem each day
To run only one way,
And that is the way to the town
Then you yearn for the life
That means hustle and strife
And sylvan delights become tame
And q voice far away
Seems TO whisper and say
That it's time to get into the game.
When the breeze now and then
Hints Of autumn again
And the blood feels quickening thrill;
When leaf here and there
F1utters forth on the air
From the sycamore up on the hill;
When the shrill katydid
In the foliage hid
Has begun Its incessant acclaim,
There's a warning complete
And uncommonly sweet
That It's time to get into the game

The only address before the Ameri-

J. Horace Mcfarland Of Harrisburg,
Pa. Mr.. Netherlands subject was
"First Steps In improvement" He
said in part:
"lt may be set down as a maxim, l
think, that improvement must begin ut
home. The civic improver whose en-
thusiasm does not lead him to clean up
first and then beuutify about his own
premises before he breaches to others
is in very weak position for any real
work"
Frederick NJ. Cruden Of ST. Louis
spoke the next morning upon '"rhe
Public Library as a Factor In Civic
Improvement" Mr.. Cruden, who has
had long career as q librarian, show
ed wherein the public library has great
potential power as civic center as
well as n distributing center for read
ing matter. In many communities, he
said, they form the basis for effective
grouping of public buildings.

A foolish little Immigrant
Has crossed the unknown sea
And landed on the shore OF life
A citizen to be.

Upon what scenes he turned his back
His lips are ever sealed.
He MAY 30 homesick- can tellf
The tears are In his eyes.
No doubt he finds this foreign shore
A land OF strange surprise.

And gold on bushes grew?
