The Kicker

He kicks when he's young,
And he kicks when he's old;
He kicks when he's hot,
And he kicks when he's, cold.
He kicks at the shade,
And he kicks at the sun, IS
And the kicker keeps kicking
Until he is done.
He'll kick at the roses
In heaven that blow;
He'll kick that it's heaven
And not down below.
He'll kick at the perfume
That floats on the breeze;
And he'll kick that he cannot
Do just al he'll please.
He'll kick at the depth
OF the river of life;
And he'll kick If he can,
Or cannot find his wife.
He'll kick at the day,
Because 1t is light;
And he'll kick at the darkness,
Because it is night.
n,. y
He'll kick at the garments
The angels will wear;
And he'll kick at the methods
OF wearing their hair.
Hell kick at the music
The angels will sing;
And he'll kick at defects
He will find in his wings.
He'll kick at St. Peter,
For letting him in;
And he'll kick at the virtues,
AS nothing but sin.
He'll keep on a-kicking,
And call all a SELL"
Till a kick from st. Peter
Will land him in-Well,
Are you a kicker?

An Example Worth Following.

The Country Club of Ware County

Ga, for the purpose of securing an or
ganized movement for improvements,
says the Good Roads Magazine Each
member of the club pledged himself
to plant 210 trees of some sort so that
they will take root this winter and
have them ready for transplanting
along the public road closest to his
home next fall. Among the members
is Judge Warren Lott, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, and
he has promised that the county will
have the trees planted next fall by the
gang and replant those that. die each
year, 1t is figured that 210 trees will
plant mile on both sides of the road.
John w. Greer of Waycross has been

How the Cash Retail Trade Is
Being Drawn cityWard.
THE LURE OF THE CATALOGUE
Amazing Growth of Big City Concerns
That Drain the Country of Money
Which Should Be Spent at Home,
How the Evi! May Be cembated.


IN Maxwell's Talisman are the fol-
lowing remarks on the mail order busi-
ness by Richard Hamilton Byrd:
1t is q recognized fact that the retail
business Of the country villages and
the large towns for that matter, is be
Ing destroyed Year by year the once
prosperous merchants are being forced
to the wall-driven out by the mall o.
der business. And this Is taking place
In face Of the fact that the population
and purchasing power of the country
districts are ever on the increase.
What is the matter?
The mail order houses are drawing
the cash retail trade from it's natural
channels to the cities.
The growth Of thls octopus has been
pheenrl9ymenal. From jellyike idea :
without form-an experiment fifteen
years ago, 1t has grown to proportions
that threaten the determination of the
retail country merchant
An idea Of the way the money of
the people is being drawn into this
mail order trade can bp had from the
reports Of some Of these houses.
A certain mail order house of Chi
cage WHICH began with few thou
sand dollars fifteen years ago now
carries 4 capital stock of $5,000,O09
and has arranged to increase that
stock to $40,000.00O. 1t does bust
ness of $5,000.000 a month and earns
net profit Of $3.0O0O0O a year.
Like the patent medicine business,
the mail order business depends on
the gullibiity of the ge.eral public
Thousands of people every week send
In their hard earned cash to some mail
order house i'll payment for goods that
could have been bought cheaner at
their home store.
Why d9 they do its 1t Is owing
pArttally to the desire of the average
person to be humhugged and partially
to the effect of persistent advertising,
The mail order house sends out its at

LA APORTE'S MYSTERY
fuinneS Farm Crimes Still the
Sensation.
OFFICERS BUSILY AT WORK
Public Interest centers Largely in the
Alleged Connection Of Ray Lampher
With the Crimes-State's Attorney
Has Several Important Witnesses.

LaPorte, Ind, May S.-New evil
dence connecting Ray Lampher with
the more recent deaths at the GUM
ness farm and the possible discovery
OF additional graves ON the premises,
were the chief developments expect
mysteries. Whether further exca-
yations are to be made on the estate
Will depend upon the weather.
Interest Centers in Lampher.
What the inquiries or Prosecutor
Smith into the alleged connection of
Ray Lampher with the crimes will
develop is exciting interest.
Deputy Sheriff Roy Mari, who is
aiding the states attorney in this line
OF work claims that he will produce
witnesses to strengthen the testimo-
ny of I.2uis Roule, Bessie Wallace and
Nellie Shoemaker, who told the au-
thoritieS that LAmpher had asserted
that he knew enough concerning Mrs.
Guinness to convict her of serious
crimes and had threatened to reveal
this evidence in fevenge for her pros
ecution Of him. One of these new
witnesses, it is said. took part in the
conversation between Roule, and it is
further reported, is OF unquestionable
integrity and standing in the commu-
nifty.
Only Three Bodies Identified.
II more bodies are found on the
Guinness farm fresh mysteries will
confront the authorities. Thus far
only three of the nine bodies have
been identified The known victims
are
Jennie Olson, the sixteen-yearo
foster daughter Of Mrs. Guinness.
Andrew Helegelein, of Mansfield,
s. D.
Ole o. Budsberg, of lola, Wis.
One female corpse and those of five
males remain as yet unidentified. De
spite the searching investigations of
the sheriff and states attorney there
is yet almost no clew to the identity
of these bodies.
Their task is complicated by the fact
that the bodies have been in the
ground for at least eighteen months.
Detectives At Work,
That the detectives of a private
agency who went into the affair on
Thursday may be able to discover
fresh evidence Is the hope Of Sheriff
5mutzer and Prosecutor Smith. The
outsiders are in charge Of Coroner
Smith, and he Is said to have four
assistants. Two of these, it is said,
have been detailed to search neighbor-
ing farms for information regarding
Mrs. Guinness. The others are work
ing under the direction of the sheriff.
