THE GARDEN OF LOST ROSES.

Oh, beware, sister mine, of the
gardens
Where the white roses bleed them
selves red
And the winds are a-moan in the
shadows
Der the ashes of red roses dead,
There the dawn is a message of
anguish,
And the merciful angel behold
The SCARED and the shriveling
petals
OF roses adrift from the fold.
And their tears gently fall through
the stardust,
A sorrow-torn, pitiful dew,
On the lives that have lost all their
fragrance,
On the dreams than can never
come true.

law is fairly we'll enforced in the in

by the lax or enforcement of the
prohibition law or proximity to coun-
ties already selling whiskey.

We believe the prohibition senti-

vote whereby several counties voted
to return to the sale of whiskey would
have been different had the prohibi-

nounce New Standards.

a special committee Of the South Car
olina Cotton Seed Crushers' associa-
tion, Commissioner Watson announced

sioner.
The operation Of the division is to

and regulations prescribed below as
to grades adopted, deductions for
damages, drawing Of samples and ex-
animation of samples.
Grade standards that have been
adopted have been agreed upon by
the department and the committee
from the association, and the as
sociation upon it's part has agreed to
abide absolutely the reports as to
grades following the examination OF
samples in the laboratories of the de-
partment of agriculture, commerce
and industries.
The amount OF deduction showing
on the report will be upon the basis
of the maximum price quoted for
prime seed on the day that the report
is mailed to the parties concerned In
the examination.
The following are the standards
adopted:
Prime cotton seed shall be clean,
dry, sound, free from dirt, trash and
foreign matter.
Seed not coming up to the require
ments OF prime seed" shall be con-
sidered "off seed"

MEETING.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-20
CITY MIGHT LOSE S4O,OOO
 IF MOONEY SHOULD CLOSE
 CONDEMNED SCHOOL HOUSES
Only Three Public School Buildings Are Equipped So As To Meet With Approval Of Fire Chief--What Would Become Of
 States Educational Contribution !?

Should Chief Mooney close the pub lie schools as he has intimated he might do if his orders regarding p1ac- ing fire escapes on the school buildings are not compiled with, the city of Bridgeport will lose about $40, 900 from the state remuneration grant. The to- tai grant to Bridgeport is about $45, 600 but there are three schools, Maple wood, Mckinley and Koesuth, which the Chief has declared all properly equipped with fire proof halls, etc. s/
 Some members of the Board of Edu- cation are of the opinion that the city would lose part of the State remuner- ation fund in proportion to the mum Der of schools closed, if the Chief takes the action he has intjmated he might. The law gives the Chief power to con demn schools not provided with fire escapes and says that such schools when condemned shall not be used for school purposes until the fire escapes are provided. The statute also pro vides that in cities where the schools are condemned they shall lose a pro portionate share of the State Grant for the time they are closed.
 Some members of the Board of Ed ucatton, however, think. they know a way around the whole matter and while they will not tell what, they have in mind it is expected there will be some interesting developments at
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-20

the Board of Education meeting on Monday evening.
 The Board of Education will meet Monday and consider estimates for placing fire escapes on public school buildings. Under the law the fire chief may condemn any school not fitted with fire escapes. A school so con- demned cannot be used for school purposes again until the proper fire escgPe is provided and the city loses t' state remuneration grant during the time the building is under con- demnation.
 David Ginand, agent of the board has been inspecting all the schools and will make a report on his findings to the board on Monday night. MT Ginand in his report calls attention to section. 8 of the new law. Through it he thinks an arrangement can be made with Chief Mooney whereby the city will not be obliged to stand the expense of adding the fire escapes to the schools. The section of the law reads as follows:
 '-The chief of the fire department of any city, town borough or fire district, or, if there be no such chief, the prin- cipal or superintendent of any school with the approval of any agent of the state board of education may exempt any school building which has two or more ways of egress by stairways on the inside, from the provisions of this act''

My Mothers Dying''
 Pleaded Speeder; Cops Gave Him His Liberty

John Kovak, 30 years old, a motor cyclist of IA Boutard street, South NorwaIk, arrested near the Ash Creek Bridge on Sunday and summoned to appear in the City court by Patro1nnan Gorgas, managed to get in more than one tight place while speeding from his home city.
 According to information which, later reached police headquarters and re- suited in Kovak's arrest by the Fair field authorities, he not only was ap- prehended in Bridgeport but was stop ped in Fairfield by Deputy Sheriff FL wood. He put up such a piteous plea at that time to the effect he was hur- rying to get to the beside of a dying mother that the Fairfield sheriff re- tented and let him go,
 When they later learned he had been arrested shere and that his story was somewhat of a myth they summoned him to appear before Justice Bacon Wakenan today.
