EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON

I wonder if there are any of my read
ers who would like to send some very
their hearts on st. Valentines day instead
of a conventional valentine.
With the idea that there may be, m
going to print some of my favorite love
lyrics today.
Perhaps you could get an artist to illum-
mate the one you like best.
Perhaps youth just copy it yourself and
send with some little gift.
trhaPS you do Just e sena to It as II verse eS
like these would be acceptable as having
a more personal touch than boughten
valentine
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt love.
A book of verses underneath the Bough,
A jug of Wine, a loaf of Bread, and
Beside me singing in the wilderness.
And Wilderness were Paradise enow
Omar Khayyam.
If 1 were king; ah love, if I were king,
What tributary nations would l bring
Allegiance to your lips and eyes and hair
Beneath your feet what treasures would L
fling;
The stars would be your pearls upon a
string,
The world a ruby for your finger ring,
And you should have the sun and moon to
If were king.
Let these wild dreams and wilder words
take wing,
Deep in the woods hear a shepherd sing
A simple ballad to a sylvan air
OF love that ever finds your face more
fair,
could not give you any. godlier thing
III. H. Mccarthy.
See the mountain kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another,
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained it's brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeamS kiss the sea;
What are all these kissings worth,
| If thou kiss not me?
Shelley.
From the desert I come to thee
| On a stallion shod with fire,
And the winds are left behind
| In the speed of my desire.
Under thy window l stand,
And the midnight hears my cry
I love thee, and / love but thee,
With a love that shall not die
| Till the sun grows cold
And the stars are old
| s.. And the leaves of the Judgment Book
| unfold.
| Since we parted yester eve,
l do love thee, love, believe,
| Twelve times dearer, twelve hours longer,
One dream deeper, one night stronger,
One sun surer, thus much more
Than 1 loved thee, dear, before.

soUTH's WONDERFUL GROWTH

The fourteen southern states, with
Missouri and Oklahoma, having now
an aggregate population of 39,500,000,
or 100000 less than the total pop.
ulation of the United States in 1880,
have $1,90O,00O,0O0 in national bank
resources, or only $20O,O0O,000 less
than such resources in the whole
country thirty-one years ago.
In that period these sixteen states
have increased the annual value of
their mineral production from $780,
100000 to $340.00O,O00, as again $780,
100000 in the whole country in 1880;
their manufactured products have a
value within $2,000,0O0,O0O of the
value Of the whole country in 1880,
while their manufacturing capital is
several hundred million dollars in
excess of the country's at the earlier
date. In the thirty-one years the val
ne of their output of manufacturing,
which was less than the value of ag-
ricultural products in 1880, has be-
come far greater annually, although
the value of agricultural products in
the sixteen states is close on to $3,-

THAT is my ideal of civilization; l
would have people live on small
farms instead of surrounding them

In Austria one finds none OF the So

countries. For Austria is an agrlcul-
tural country; here the balance be-
tween city and country is not destroy

are overcrowded to the detriment OF
the rural districts.
But even Austria is behind the
times; her agriculture is primitive
still. have seen only two Deering
mowers in the whole Tyrol. The
Austrians need a quickening of the
spirit which education gives. The
peasants are healthy and strong, but
dull-eyed and slow. Schools are Aus

Automobile as Commercial Factor
Mr.. Edison was pleased particular
ly with Austrias appreciation of the
automobile as a commercial factor.
"The Austrians are awake to the
fact that automobiles bring them
trade" he said. Here one finds no
such foolish restrictions as in Switz-
erland There hotels prosper and
much building is going on to accom-
modate the increased number of trav-
elers. Nevertheless high taxes are
levied on motorists who pass through
the Dolomites with their magnificent
scenery, sharp and ragged peaks, stu
pendous precipices and secluded val
leys. However, travellers are willing
to pay for the advantages they get
and for the delight in Swimming over
such perfect roads"
