too early TO make these plans knewn,
but the work of carrying them out
will be started at once
An official notification OF the plan

warm invitation TO be represented.
This is perhaps one Of the best oppor-
tunities which has been afforded
South Mississippi in recent years, to
reach a class of people who are pc
culiarly adapted to our own agricul

was not blessed with those vast
stretches of prairie which have been
so attractive in the west and south
west and the result is that her farm
ers know something of what it means
to prepare such lands as we have, for
cultivation. 1t was decided to go to
work at once to secure a creditable
exhibit, which will represent not only
Hattiesburg but all OF South Missis-
sippi. AS this is a broad proposition
the Commercial Club will ask the
assistance of the railways cen,ering
here and If they will give the co-opera'

LOVES WAY.
CBy Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcoxl
Love gives us curious potions of de-
light,
OF pain and ecstacy, and peace and
care
Love leads us upward, to the noun
tain height
And, like an angel, stands beside
us there.
Then thrusts us, deamonlike, in some
abyss
Where, in the darkness of despair,
We grope
TIL, suddenly, love greets us with a
kiss
And guides us back to ilowery
fields of hops.
49, e5y~
Love makes all wisdom seem but
poorest folls,
AMI yet, the simplest mind, witt
love grows wise.
The gayest heart, he teaches melan
choly;
Yet glOriies the esrtwhile brood
ing eyes
Love lives on change, and yet al
change love mocks,
For loves whole life, is one grea
paradox

Panama Exposition

Up to August Ist San Francisco
has raised close to SG,50O,00O towards
financing the proposed Panama-Pa-
citic Exposition TO be held for the
lcelebrati"n OF the completion Of the
Panama Canal in 1915. 1t is going be-
fore Congress next December to ask for
Government recognition and cont
! ieutly expects to get It. Meanwhile,
the entire West is lining up-in sup.
port OF San Francisco, endorsing the
big project. AS between San Fran
cisco and New Orleans, which also
wants the fair, Western men feel
there can be no comparison. The
building Of the canal is essentially Il
Pacific Coast event, opening the Pa
ciHc to the commerce Of the world.
and that means surely that the cclc-
bruti0n should be held ut the largest
American port on the Pacific. Then.
again, the summer climate OF San
Francisco is worth coming far TO en-
Joy. while nnthing can be said for
New Orleans in this respect. An
other big argument is, Eastern viSi-
tors can easily go through the canal
on their way To San Francisco, re-
turning home overland. Again there
are many things worth seeing in the
West-thc Yellowstone. the Grand
Canon OF the Colorado, the Yosemite,
Shasta, and Il vacation country gcncr-
ally. Still another strong argument
that might appeal To Congress Is the
fact that San Francisco has within Il
radius Of 300 miles fully l.5OO.O00 pcn-
pie and it is that nearby population.
according to previous records, that
make such affairs successful Imam
cially.

School Grounds improved

The school board decided some
time ago to make many and needed
improvements this year on the build
ings and grounds and workmen are
still busy with the work that will not
only improve the looks Of the public
school property but adds to til"
convenience and cleanliness OF it also.
Peck &. Johnson finished their con-
tract for cement walks some time aga
and in addition to the cight-f""t
walk in front OF the block, laid a
twelve-foOt strip to the front en-
trance and nve.fOot walks around
to the side entrances. Since then John
Reynolds, the janitor for the coming
year. has been busy experimenting
the work OF grading the yard and set
ting foot scrapers at convenient
points.
Charles Hcnsler was kept busy for a
time making new blackboards and re-
pairing and plastcring and roof and
now Dan Petitt is busy on his con-
tract for calcimining the "n'ir"
building. When all of this work Is
completed Ordway will have a public
building tn he proud of.

that fields cannot be prepared for

grown in Colorado this year were

AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Takes corb0Hc Acid But is Rescued
Before Deadly Poison
Takes Effect

Shortly after the noon hour last
Saturday DR.. Jetrery received a tele-
phone message from the Burris ranch
south Of town asking him to hurry to
the home Of Z. O. Moss near by to
save the life OF Mrs. Moss who in !,
iit Of dependency, had attempted
suicide via the carbnlic acid route.
The doctor was not long in getting in
to his auto and passed through town
ut such II speed tn It many Of the resi-
dents declared IIalley's comet had
again appeared.
On arriving at the home, he found
the unfortunate woman in Il danger
Gus condition and hastily applied
antidOtcs which had the desired cf-
feet.
In taking the acid. the woman had
spilled quantity of it on her neck
and over her face and will perhaps
carry sears for some time to come.
She was removed to the city jail until
evening when arrangements were
made to care for her in a home near
by.
The family came to Ordway from
Pueblo some months ago and the huS-
band was employed on the Burris
ranch.
The woman is supposed to be dope
icnd and being unable TO procure the
drug to which she was addicted, de-
cidcd to end her life. After she had
recovered sufficiently the family re-
turned to Pueblo.
Through a mistake the name Of
Mrs. John Reynolds appeared in one
Of the Pueblo papers as the victim.
