The Negro housewife In the West
Indian Jingle finds housekeeping very
easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild
all about the hut and TIE river abounds
with fish. On wash day all she has to
do is TO pick few Of the berries of
the soap berry tree, take her clothes
to tlIc river ana use the berries as she
would use ordinary soap. Even her
cooking pots grow on the trees, the
calabash cut in halves being used for
this purpose. Calabashes are used
also for bowls, basins and jugs for
carving water from the river, while
the small ones make excellent cups.
In the afternoon, when she Is ready
for her cup of tea the negress picks
half a dozen leaves from the lime bush
growing mt her door, boils them,
souec2es the juice from sugar cane
for swcetenipg and the cocoanut sup
niles the milk. Thus she has a deli

1t is reported that officers of the
Michigan State Brewers association
have annouced that that association
will not take an active part in the
Michigan local option elections next
spring. The brewery association Of
ficers are quoted as saying that the
anti-saloon agitation has abated in
Michigan and that the local saloon
forces are now strong enough to fight
their own battles. 1t may be that the
gain of ten counties for local option
in Michigan last spring is an evidence
of decreasing opposition to the saloon.
A gain of ten more next spring will be
very acceptable to the opponents OF
the saloon regardless of the signifi-
canoe the brewers may attach to such
result. The statement, however.
that the brewers association will take
no part In next years local option
campaign contains just about as much
truth as the further statement from
that source, that local option senti-
ment has abated or is abating in
Michigan. Tie so-called "business
mems" organizations may be missing
from the saloon line of battle In Mich
igan hereafter, but the brewers will
be there.

Where the waters of two seas meet;
Where summer has ever the pleasure Of June
And life is delightfully."- sweet.
When the meadows are brown and the
brooks have run dry
And the streets Of the city are hot.
HE me away from the dust and the care
And hide in this emerald spot.
For Hygeia here mixes of air and sunshine
And slumber a compound so rare
The ills Of my flesh and the fret of my brain
Are gone ere scarce am aware.
And bend to the oar as drive the light
skiff
Swiftly over the silvery waves,
Or follow the pathways that lead to the slens.
To the rocks and the forts and the caves.
Or lie on the cliffs and watch the great ships
As slowly they pass TO and fro
And list to the wash OF the waves as they
break
On the white. pebbled strand far below.
While over my spirit drowsiness falls.
A dreamy and mystical maze,
Thro which l see vaguely dim. shadowy
forms,
The ghosts of the longago days.
For the fairies are dancing again on the lea.
And the gods hover round as of yore;
And the Indians wigwam see in the glade
And his bircb-bark canoe on the shore.
From her rock in the west the lone maiden
hear,
As she calls to her lover afar
Then leaps from the dizzy hight into the
depths
As falls from the heavens star.
And the trapper and hunter are here as Of
old,
And the trader comes back with his ware;
While the devil leaps out Of his kitchen and
bounds
Up the rocks in q terrible scare.
And Yankee and BritOn,in battle array
Contend for the mastery once more,
Till my vision is lost in q great cloud Of
smoke
And wake at the cannon's loud roar.
Oh. the blissful delight of an hour on the
cliffs!
Just to watch the ships sail to and fro.
Just to list to the wash of the waves on the
beach
And dream of the long, long ago.
So. come when the meadows and lanes are
all brown.
And the streets of the city are hot.
Come, HE thee away from the dust and the

United Butchers of America Planning to Eliminate the Packer by Estab. hsnment Of Independent Abattoirs

Chicago, July 2S.-Lower prices os meats will be brought about if the plans of the United Butchers of Am- erica are put into successful onera. :. tlon. The retailers declare that the packer is to blame for the high prices of meat, and now plan to prove 1t by eliminating that individua1 an tirely.
 John Ii. Schofield, secretary of the butchers national organization says an attempt will be made at the con- vention here August 15 to organize and establish independent co-oDera- tive abattoirs, rendering plants and tanneries, and he expects arrange ments to be made for trying the ex- pertinent in Chicago,
 The question has been under con- s1deration for some time, and wa now feel certain that the project will go through he said. This move will enable the retail butcher to operate independently. We propose to kill all our cattle, and to market the bi-pro- ducts, with the great profit that would accrue from the by-products we would be able to retail meat to the consumer at least 50 per cent cheaper than the prices now asked, and still make a healthy profit

ARKANSAS RIVER
 AT LOW STAGE
No Steam Boating From City to City
 Is Now Possible.

The Arkansas river is phenome- nally low said Section Director AL ciatore of the Weather Bureau yes terday, "and indeed has been con- tinuously so throughout the spring and summer. We ought to have a good boating stage right along through the summer, but no boating from city to city on the river is pos sible now.
 "The stage of the river for July has been 1.9 above the zero of the guage, which is six and a half feet below the normal for this month. Lack of rain is the cause of this. No raip no river, is rule that never varies.
 Pine Bluff reports a stage of Fl, which, when you consider that it takes not less than 11.5 to permit the passage of a steamer under the Rob Roy bridge at that place, shows how far from being navigable the Arkan- sas is now"
