"MY POND"

Take a piece of stout cord about a
yard long; tie one end to a cane, and
on the other end make a knot that will
slip quickly about any object put in
it. This rod and line is for fishing.
The players now sit around a table,
one holding the rod; in the middle OF
the table is a circle marked by crayoa
or a circular piece of paper.
The fisherman cries: my pond:
At that every player puts his forcing
er in the circIe. The fisherman then
cries: your pond!" The fingers
then go rapidly back. He may call
these commands rapidly and try to
catch a player in "his pond" when he
should be in my pond" At such an
error a forfeit is paid.
Meanwhile the fisherman tries to
slip his knot over some finger, and
when he Toes so that player becomes

New Grange GOOD Roads BIZ.

The State Grange Legislative Com.
mittee are using their best endeavor
to get a Good Roads law enacted that
shall be in accord with the views ex-
pressed by the Good Roads Commit.
tee OF the last State Grange. There
fore, a bill has been prepared, and, at
the request of the committee, intro
duced by Assemblyman Hamm and
Senator Cobb, proposing to amend
the Fuller-Plank law SO that highway
administration in the money system
towns will be in harmony with the
desire of the Grange.
This bill seeks to overcome objec-
tionable features Of the present law
by an adjustment of State aid accord
ing to the assessed valuation per
mile of road, instead of the. valuation
per town. With the classification as
worked out at the instance OF the
committee poor towns will receive a
larger proportion of State aid and
towns of like circumstances and con-
ditions be placed upon an equal foot
ing. Under the present law there is
manifest discrimination, because the
dividing line being at the million OF
valuation towns with more than q
million assessment cannot receive
more than one-tenth of one per cent.
of their valuation, while towns below
a million can draw to the extent Of
one-half the amount that they them
selves raise, without reference to
other conditions. Many towns rated
as above a million are relatively poor
er than many towns below a million,
and therefore quite as much in need
OF assistance. ~ra%aes$NnzSDzAR
The Grange bill proposes to give
towns with a valuation Of less than
$4,000 per mile a 100 per cent. addf-
ton to that which they raise them.
selves; $4,000 to $1,000, 90 per cent;
$1,000 to $4,000, so per cent; $4,000
to $1,000, 20 per cent; $1,000 to
$4,000, SO per cent. To guard
against unreasonable demands upon
the State a limitation is fixed for
towns of less than SIS, 1000 per mile
valuation at not to exceed $25 per
mile annually, and towns with a mile
age valuation in excess OF $4,000
shall not be permitted to draw more
than one-tenth of one per cent. Of
their total valuation. =
This bill was prepared by Patrons
who are thoroughly posted in road
matters, and it has been received
with marked favor in Albany. Indi-
vidual members of the order, and
oranges that can actsoon, should urge
their representatives in the Legislat-
ure to support its passage. In this

HAGUE FEARS JAPANESE WAR
Peace Conference Diplomats Con-
slider Situation Strained.
Question Overshadows the Purposes
of the Gathering-AIarm Felt in
Germany Over the Situation.

London.-The correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph at The Hague sends
in a column dispatch which Purports
to reflect the views prevailing there
on the Japanese-American situation.
which he says absorbs more interest
than the conferences itself.
The correspondent says that as a
result of his inquiries ne learns that
the situation is really strained, al
though both governments are trying
to conceal the fact. He asserts that
since June 90 the question has en-
tered IN an4acnte phase. Japan has
been sending the United States ex-
tremely categorical notes, stating,
without bitterness, but in the c~learest
terms, the dilemma that unless Wash
ington is able to control California
Japan Will consider herself free to act
directly against California.
Nothing, however, yet has been ex-
changed precluding a pacific settle
ment, but many of the Japanese at
The Hague are Of the opinion that the
Japanese Government ought to act
without delay, and not give America
time to utilize her vast resources and
economic po~tent;ality, a hundredfold
greater than Japan's, to perfect war
like preparations.
In an editorial article The Tele-
graph says it does not identify itself
with the statements of its correspon-
dent at The Hague, believing them to
be charged with undue dependency.
At the same time, the paper con-
tinues, they are made upon a notable
authority and they cannot be read
without profound lrneasiness. The
~Telegrapntis convinced. however, that
the craftsmanship of both countries
will be strong enough and the in
stinct OF the two great nations sane
enough to hold chauvin;sm in leash.
Nevertheless" the paper says, sit
is impossible to deny the danger of
the situation. The present peace con-
ference, from its opsni1E, has
created disagreement and friction
tending to worsen instead of improve
the relations OF the Powers. The last
assembly at The Hague was followed
by great conflicts: we can only pray
that Ec present III may not be sue
ceeded by rIorc terrible calamities."
In @conclusicc, after Il full discus
sion of the POINTS o; difference, The
Telegraph says it is not a color ques-
ton, but fundamentally an economic
question, and adds:
I'VE trust our allies will take it at
that and realize that the point of ma
tional honor has been accidentally
caught up with the problem. but is
not permanently involved in it. Any
attempt to settle the question by
arms. whatever the immediate issue,
would mean, soone O: later, a hun
bred years conflict"

FASHION NOTES.

Browns of various shades come next
to blues in popularity.
In selecting a check it is always
better to avoid the very small ones
unless one is thin.
Despite the quiet elegance of the
beautifully tailored serge gowns, they
are not likely tt become common.
The checked materials show the
checks a bit larger.
Picturesqueness is the first and fore
most characteristic of today's fash
ions. 5IA III
The coming shade of green will be
that rich, pure tone called forest
green.
The lingerie gown has reached its
apotheosis in the elaborate creation
which stands for it in this year Of
grace.
Smoke colors, grays and colors shad-
ing from one to the other, will be seen.
but the heEiotrope shades are few.
The skirt that escapes the pave
ment from one to six inches, and the
medium length, single breasted coat,
with coat sleeves to the wrists, are
always worn in the palmer hackabout
costumes.
Limoge Or Copenhagen is one of the
latest blues. 1t is the porcelain blue,
the delft shade. 1t has less Of the
gray than the older Alice blue and
only the least bit of red.
The cutaway coats would better be
let alone, unless q woman has means,
for they are a passing fashion.
Some OF the new hatpins a truly
be regarded as jewelry. One of the
novelties was a large head OF tor
toise shell, set with rubies and dia-
monds. Still another was incrusted
with turquoises ands diamonds.

rubbish, Says TilIman.

about war between the United States
and Japan is simply bobtail rubbish"
said Senator TillmaH, of South Caro-
lima, who stopped here on his way to
Clarksburg, w. Va, to speak ON the
race problem. There is no need of
all this war talk simply because the
United States has seen fit TO send a
fleet Of warships to Pacific waters.
Japan does not want to fight She
could not be dragged into a.fight with
this country; a war would mean ia

costly to this country. I do not re-

The Slow But Sure Gait.

There have been numerous disap-
continents in the outcome of some
of the boys. We remember M boy
in particular who was the butt OF all
ridicule from the boys of his age, and
he took it good~-naturedly. He
seemed to have no particular friends
and herded by himself. His clothes
always looked funny and he had that
awkward swagger over which the rest
of us had much sport. No one, ever
thought that that plug would ever
get anywhere or have anything. But
to-day that plug is drawing a better
salary than any two of the old gang.
He has more money, more influence
and more friends than any OF the
rest of us. The plug had a gait thai
was slow, but it was sure. He didn't
appear to be a bit bright then, but he
had a surface that took on a polish.

LOVE THAT HELPS THE CHILD.

'Love and confidence" said Mrs.
Grover Cleveland to a friend, sis the
first grip to secure on the child. The
child must have confidence in the pa
rent. and the initial inspiration for
that confidence must arise from love.
The true kind OF obedience is not
easily secured if confidence is not
first inspired, but once confidence lis
secured, obedience becomes a natur-
al sequence.
"The mothers attitude toward all
the duties OF the home, do not escape
the notice of, the child, and, as the
mother is powerful in self control,
in striving to be an ideal 10 the child,
so the child notes and grows into it's
own character.
"Ffrmness with a child has its trn-
est value when it goes hand IN hand
with instruction. To tell a child that
it must do so and so just because
another wills it is not enough. The
child mind asks for reasons. It wishes
to know why it must do this and that,
and it is entitled to know. If it does
lot gain this information from the
mother in the home, it certainly will
gain 1t in a distorted way from the
companions it meets outside of the
home. think it preferable for the
child's own education, moral and phys
ical, that the why and wherefore Of
parental orders should be given to it
within the home circle.
Child life, to reach its highest at
tainment, needs to feel the home is

Florida VIII Have Roads.

W. J.. Morgan, the well known pro-
moter 0f beach race meets and noun
tain climbs, and lately prominent in
good roads agitation, has just re-
turned to New York City fomsa sea-
sons absence in the South. Among
other things he has the following to
say:
Five years ago, when / went to
Florida first to look into the beach
proposition for racing, Jacksonville
had about one dozen automobiles.
and about one-half of them in rum
ming order. A recent canvass showed
nearly 400 automobiles I'm Jackson
vile. Considerig that there have
been few roads that the Florida driv-
er could use in the past, the present
number of cars only goes to show
what may be expected for automobil-
ing in Florida when the present good
roads crusade bears anything like a
good crop. Tt is safe to say that
there are 1000 automobiles in the
State, but of course that number is
vastly increased in winter"
Mr.. Morgan says that the manner
of conducting future meets on the
Ormond-Daytona beach is somewhat
undecided at thepresent time. When
the st. Johns Canal is cut through
between st. Augustine and the st.
Johns River, at Jacksonville, a con-
tinuous water trip can then be had
from the north to the most southerly
point Of the United States, Key West.

NEWS OF minnesota,
State Fair Races,

Han1iine-Secretary c.. N. Cosgrove,
of the Minnesota State Fair, has COM
pleted the compilation of the entry list
of horses nominated for eight Of the
great races to be held at the state
fair track next September during fair
week. The entries closed on July l..
Six more races will close on August
Is, making the list Of fourteen great
races complete.
Some of the greatest horsemen in
the country have made entries and
will hold ribbons over the backs OF
some of the best trotters and PAGERS
now on the American track Ed. Geers,
Charlie Dean, John Laabs, Dick Nc
Mahon and men Of that caliber will
be at the state fair this year.
The fastest class Of the races an
