A lowly roof may give us PROOF
That lowly flowers are often fairest;
And trees whose bark is hard and dark
May yield us fruit and bloom the rarest
There's worth as sure meath garments poor
As eer adorned loftier station.
And minds as just as those we trust.
Whose claim is but of wealths creation
Then let them seek, whose minds are weak
Mere Fashions smile and try 10 win il:
The house 10 me may lowy be,
If | but like the people in il.

TRUE WORTH.

Some love the glow of outward show,
Some love mere wealth. and try to win il; /;
The house 70 me may lowly be,
IL but like the people in il.
What's all the gold, that glitters cold,
When linked TO hard and naughty feeling!
Mhateer we're told, the nobler gold
Is truth of heart and manly dealing.
Then let them seek, whose minds are weak
Mere Fashions smile and try to win it !;
The house 20 me may lowly be,
Ii l but like the people in it.

UNIVERSAL PEACE CONGRESS
GATHERING OF DISTINGUISHED
LEADERS BEING HELD IN
LONDON.

LONDON, July 27.-Those who
clamor for more Dreadnaughts and
will cease their pabblings for a week,
while the opponents of peace will be
given full sway. The seventeenth uni
versal peace congress, opened today
in Caxton hall. Westminster, has att
tracted hundreds of distinguished men
and women from all over Europe and
America, and for the present the roar
of the lion is silenced by the tender
cooling of the dove. The United States
is we'll represented, owing to the eff
forts of Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, who
is in charge of the Washington branch
of the congress.
The sessions will continue until next
dresses by many of the leaders in the
anti-war movement. Not only peace
societies are represented, but public in
situations. labor bodies. colleges, uni
versities and religious organizations
have sent delegates. The proceedings
will be largely in English
The officers of the congress are Lord
Courteney, of Penwith, president; ]. G
| Alexander, chairman; Lord Avebury
treasurer; II. B. Newman, chairman OF
the national peace council, chairman OF
executive, and DR.. w. Evans Of the
peace society and j. Frederick Greer
of the international Arbitration Peace
association, general secretaries.

TO RECLAIM WET LANDS
Reel AMATION BY DRAINAGE BE.
ING DISCUSSED IN MEN,
PHiS TODAY.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 27.-Dele-
gates from Tennessee, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Kentucky and Mississippi,
are in attendance at the convention
opened in Memphis today by the Mis-
sissippi Valley Drainage and Good
Roads association.
The purpose of the convention is to
discuss the reclamation of the wet
lands by drainage and to irrigate the
arid lands. The question of the i'm
provement of roadways throughout the
states of the Lower Mississippi valley
will also be brought UP and discussed.
AS a result OF the first meeting, eX-
perts were sent here by the govern
ment. who made a survey of the low
lands, and noted the condition of the
roads in this section. The question
was taken up by the government and a
great deal of good has been done dur
ing the last year.
The farmers Of Mississippi and Ar
kansas will be greatly benefited by the
reclamation of the wet lands, as a ma
jority of the lowlands, under discussion
are located in these two states. Tennes-
see, Kentucky and Louisiana will also
be greatly benefited, as any number OF
acres in these states are of practically
no value at the present time, but by
the aid and assistance of the govern
ment could be turned into rich and
valuable farm lands
The government has sinking fund
of $3S,00O,O0O for the reclamation OF
wet and arid lands, and one Of the
main objects of the convention will be
to put this project before the officials,
and show them what the real value OF
these lands could be turned into.
The business of the convention will
probably be concluded tomorrow.

and each Grange in the state is also
invited to send a delegate ether to

of the bill shall take place at the con-
