TRY SOME OF THIS
LIES SWEET SUMMER.

I.
When the rains of winter against the
window beat
It's then this feller's thinkin' of a
summer mighty sweet
A summer where the dreams are
where Love delights to be.
When Jenny said she loved me and
kissed flower for me!
All the roses knew 1t, and the mock
ingbirds that day
Did their sweetest singing because
she passed that way;
All the wealth OF worlds was mine,
showered through a golden door
And heaven had a glory it never
knew before.
So. when Life's weary winters gloom
round me, / am blest
With dreams Of that sweet summer
where Memory loves to rest;
And on Life's glowing pages this rec
ord sweet I see;
Jenny said she loved me, and kissed
a flower for me-"

could not have been obtained by open
and bidding which ought
to take place in the distribution Of
all public service securities? Even If
not a cent more could have been got

OF course the ready reply Of the
big bankers is that no firm but
Morgan firm would have agreed to
take and sell sl71,000,000 in bonds.
But that argument is futile. because
there was no need OF raising all the
money at once and the bonds might
have been put out in much smaller
lots and in smaller denominations, so
that general investment by the people
could be made in them. There is not
a shadow OF excuse for turning over
these highly desirable securities,
practically guaranteed by the city Of
New York, to one house at SO 1-2.

George Broken Killed BY LIGHTNING

During the severe electrical storm
Friday Aug. 9Th George Broken, sor
of Mr.. and Mrs. T. T. Broken, was
instantly killed by lightning. The sad
affair happened about l:30 in the af-
ternoon while the young man was en-
gagged pitching bundles from a wagon
near stack of grain in the field and
came with such tremendous force that
part of his clothing and one shoe was
entirely torn from from his body. The
day was unusually crowded with elec-
trical storms, threatening clouds fol-
lowing each other and every one of
them full of thunder and lightning.
Stacking had been suspended and to-
gether with some of his brothers he
had gone to throw off few remaining
bundles on the wagon when from a
comparatively small cloud came sudden
ly the fatal bolt to instantly claim his
life.
George ives born on his fathers farm
west of here on June II, 1896, hence
he was only little over II years old.
After finishing the district school he
entered the Harmony High School, and
was at the time of his death mem Der
of the junior class.-Harmony News.

Honey By Gasoline.

H. B. Morrison is now extracting
honey by gasoline power. Last week
he started his new power extractor,
using it first at his country bee yard
on the John Killerlain place and this
week in town. Mr.. MORRISON stays in
the yard, takes off the supers, smokes
out the bees, and then sets the super
on little car which runs on track
into the extracting house VIII ere E. E.
Day takes out the frames, cuts off the
caps and Miss 1nez or Miss Gladys Day
places them in the extractor and turns
on the power. The honey is extracted
aud forced up through a pipe which
delivers it into barrels.
About $500 pounds were extra cted
in the country beside what was taken
off in the comb. The first day in town
1900 pounds were taken out and it
will require six days in all to complete
the work. -Fayette Reporter.

0ne-Cent Postage Again.

That old wolf in sleeps clothing
One Cent-Letter- Postage-is out again.
Certain Senators, certain newspaper
and certain invisible influences are
busy once more with active propaganda
for reduction in first-class mail rates.
The average citizen would not profit
so cents year by one-cent letter post
age. Big city corporations and banks
would profit thousands of dollars. One
New York bank is reported to spend
ST, 400 a day on first-cIass postage.
This bank would profit $500 day by
the proposed reduction.
Two cents for collecting, forwarding
and delivering letter is plenty cheap
enough. A letter that isn't worth a
two-cent stamp isn't worth writing.
The real purposes behind the one
cent letter postage movement are two
First, to benefit big business, and
second. to so curtail the receipts of the
postoffice department that further
extensions and reductions in parcel
post will be made impossible.
The workingman, the clerk, the
small business man and the farmer will
gain only a few pennies by one-cent
letter postage and lose ten times that
much on parcel postage.
There is nothing in one-cent letter
postage for common, everyday folks.

Our Washington Letter.

The tariff debate is progressing ir
the Senate with a certainty Of an early
vote, in spite of the obstructive tactics
employed by the Republican 'olo
guard" leaders. AS an evidence OF
this there was the action of Senator
Gallinger, the standpat leader, in re.
fusing to agree that a date be set fol-
a vote on the tariff bill unless the
Democrats would promise to postpone
currency legislation. This was illumi'
mating as showing the tactics by which
legislation has been defeated in the
past, even when it has been backed by
such strong public opinion as now is
demanding tariff revision.
The prospects continue bright for
both tariff and currency legislation at
the special session. The old stock
arguments have been trotted out again,
but somehow they have fallen fiat.
References to the "pauper" labor of
Europe by .standpat Senators brought
forth a reminder that the Lawrence
strike investigation showed that there
was pauper labor, or labor employed
at pauperizing wages in our own
manufacturing plants-and that, too,
in some of the highly protected
industries, showing that the tariff
benefits rarely got beyond the cash
drawer and into the pay envelopes.
When Senator Penrose attempted to
get specific and state that already a
Pennsylvania manufacturer had closed
his plant and moved all his machinery
to Europe, letters were read from the
owners Of the manufacturing plant in
question denying such move, and
newspaper interviews with members
of the firm were read showing that
the firm Penrose had closed up never
had enjoyed better business.
The visit of the western and southern
bankers went far toward popularizing
the administrators currency bill. 1t
was almost the unanimous opinion of
the visiting bankers that the currency
legislation planned will 60 far toward
removing the money stringency. AS a
companion to the currency bill, Presi-
dent Wilson also issued a statement
declaring that the administration
planned to introduce bill providing
system of rural credits at the regular
session of Congress. ''There has teen
too little federal legislation framed to
serve the farmer directly and with
deliberate adjustment to- his real
needs" the President said. Zone Of
the chief and most serious of these
disadvantages has been that he has
been unable to secure the extended
bank accommodations be every year
stands in need of without paying most
burdensome rates of interest. The
President said that rural credit systems
had been worked out abroad and that
''oor farmers must have similar
means afforded them of handling their
financial needs easily and inexpensive
w." "And there will be-" the Presi-
dent added. This is our next great
task and duty. The Congress and the
Executive, working together. will
certainly afford the needed machinery
of relief and property to the people
of the country.sides and that very
soon."
