A Maiden in Calico

Over the fence where the sweet fern grew Just to be dried for an acorn pipe' Only a step from the mulberry tree'
 Burdened with berries luscious ana ripe' buried my treasure-two coppers new Stealthily, fearing the world might Know And she was my sentinel tried and true,
 Sweet little maiden in calico, Laughing she begged in my treasure box Room that her trinkets she might hide, Under the cover of freSh-cut sod,
 Where my two copUerS lay side by side, And when demanded a kiss as pay
 For the use of my secret vault below, She paid me my price with a rosy check Sweet little maiden in calico. Many n treasure I've seen since then, Many a maiden with a laughing eye, But not one has sought out my treasure box Where the secrets of love in itS.keeping lie. And at night when 1 sit in my cozy chair, Watching the sprites in the fires glow The prettiest fancy the flames give forth Is sweet little maiden in calico.

Local millers and grain dealers are
watching with interest the outcome o.
the charges preferred by District At

Grain Company, Capitol Grain Co. and
Liberty Mills at Nashville. The dis
trict attorney bases his prosecution,
according to newspaper reports, on
the mis-branding Of grain and grain
products in violation of the Pure Food
law.
IF grain dealer is to be held re-
sponsible for the mis-branding of
shipments in which he has merely
acted as middle man, or broker, it
will place him in a rather hazardous
position" said one Columbia dealer
For instance, a consignment OF oats
might be shipped from destination to
some points in the south without ever
coming on the tracks OF the grain
company that was its handler. The
dealer would naturally enough be
compelled to take the word Of the
seller and would have no way to pro-
tect himself. Now, if the dealer had
mixed feeds and then sold
it as pure he should be held criminally
But in case of mis-
branding such as those in Nashville
appear to be the dealer seems 10 be !
an innocent party. if the shipments
were really mis-labelled as charged.
Take another example. The law
directs that wheat bran shall contain .
4 certain percentage of various ingred-
ents. Now it is usually the case that
he bran comes Up to these require
nents, but where wheat has been
