PRESIDENT FORGOEs TRIP
STAYS AT CAPITAL TO CONSIDER
 DISSOLUTION PLAN.
Cabinet Meeting Considers Intricate Railroad Question-Cravath and
 McReynolds Confer.

Washington, June 30.-President Wilson brushed aside all plans for a weeks trip to Cornish, N. H., to ex- anime immediately the tentative agreement between Attorney-General McReynolds and the railroads attor- neys for the dissolution of the Union Pacific merger, in order to prevent the great railroad combination from being thrown into the hands of re- ceiver
 Unless a method of dismembering the Union Pacific and Southern Pa cific satisfactory to the judges of the United States court for the eighth cir cult is submitted by July l, the United States supreme court has ordered the dissolution of the merger by govern ment receivership.
 A supreme effort is being made by the president and attorney-general to prevent this alternative.
 Officials predict that the govern ment and the railroad would present an agreed plan to the court within the time limit, although it was stated that the government approval in all probability would be qualified.
 In submitting the plan it is pro- posed to ask the judges to give a limited time before entering a final decree within which objections dis played in the light of further study of the propositions may be filed by the government or any of the other par ties interested.
 It is understood that the agreement will incorporate as one step in the dissolution the previously proposed plan for transferring $3S,000,000 of Southern Pacific stock held by the Union Pacific to the Pennsylvania railroad in exchange for the latter's holdings of Baltimore 6 Ohio.
 The remaining SSS,000,O of the total S126,00O,000 of Southern Pacific owned by the Union Pacific, it Is said, would be placed in the hands of Q trust company to be sold to the share holders of the Union Pacific.

THE LUCKY OLD RING
By JOSEPH E. SMITH.
Ithaca, N. r., Jan. 27, 190-

Dear Old Dad: We have always been such awfully good friends about everything that I thought would tell you how it happened.
 Of course it's Jim's sister. You re- member Jim. He was one of the boys in the old frat back at Yale. You know we were both on the elev- en for old Eli, and 1t made it no end jolly that when I got 1t for coach here he should get 1t for trainer, too.
 At first I liked Edith because she was Jim's sister. I took her to things and tried to give her good time Pretty soon, got to like her for her own sake, and then finally it hap pened-only after had made thou sand fools of myself.
 You see, since Jim and I were such chums. I got to know Edith pretty well, and we became great friends.
 If it hadn't been for the ring, 1t might never have happened. It was a heavy Egyptian scarab with an en. graved setting. It was a particular thing in the frat. and you know you couldn't let girl wear 1t unless you were engaged A scarab is supposed to bring luck, and mire certainly did
 One night I had come back home from taking Edith to a reception. I glanced down at my hand and saw that my ring was gone from my lit tie finger. It upset me considerably Not that the ring was valuable, only fellow hates to lose anything like that. l could not see any way that could possibly have lost 1t. After had hunted everywhere I gave 1t up
 l was out of town for a week or so, but the next time l saw Edith, you can imagine what I felt when I saw my ring on her finger, It knocked me flat with surprise. At first l couldn't think of any way that she could have gotten it. until at last it came to me- that the night of the reception she had asked me to hold her huff for Q moment. My ring must have slipped off in it then, and the next day she probably found it.
 It was the fact that she wore it thob saw SOul dBt lO SDGdh Ut last. As long as she was Jim's sister, l knew that she must know what it meant for a girl to wear that ring, and so 1 was in a fools heaven of happiness.
 It was good weather for sleighing and so took Edith out the first chance l got. Nothing seemed to come right to bring up the subject until she took her glove off, for some reason or other. It happened to be on the hand that had the ring on. l looked at 1t and said
 You know what that ring means don't you, Edith ?"
 She looked rather surprised.
 "Of course"
 We were way out in the country and l guess my happiness went to my head and made me all kinds of a presumptuous fool. She pulled her hand away with jerk. The air had brought the color to her face, but 1t was not the air which made it deepen She did not say word, but just looked at me.
 But the ring" I stammered.
 What has the ring got to do with"
 Why, you know what it means, and l thought you understood"
 She stared at me incredulously.
 "Jack, what do you mean? l don't understand at all"
 It was my turn to stare at her.
 "Why, didn't you find my ring in your muff?'
 Your ring in my huff How should it come thereT
The Prescott daily news., 1913-06-30

ception, and when I saw you with that on, l thought you had found 1t. Your wearing it gave me hope for something I had never dared dream of. You must know that T."
 Edith looked at me a moment and then she laughed. This ring? It has always had a fascination for me. 1 have tried to persuade Jim to let me wear 1t and he never would. So when I found 1t on his dresser last night appropriat- ed it."
 Then all of a sudden it came over me what fool I'd been. l might have known it was Jim's, but l was so ready In my conceit to think it was mine that never stopped to con sider anything else.
 'I don't suppose there's anything can say. I am sorry to have made a fool of myself and have spoiled every thing"
 There was a long silence after had headed the horsV around. thought of all the things I might say, and didn't.
 It must have been the courage of despair that made me ask:
 Cant we keep on being friends, only in another way?"
 And then 1t happened. I could hard ly believe that Edith could care for fellow like me.
 But, Dad, here's where I come to the. joke of the thing. Tke next time I had on my evening coat, 1t was cold and dug my hands deep into my pockets to keep them warm. Down in a corner I felt something cold and hard. I fished 1t out, and what do you think? That lucky old scarab ringl It had slipped off in my pocket and been there all the time.
 But I'll choke off this yarn. Send me your congratulations, Dad.
 Yours as ever,
 JACK. Copyright by Daily Story Pub Col

A Home for Orphan
Children and a Child
For ChildIeSS Homes

Miss Agnes McKinna, repre-
senting the Georgia Children's
Home Society, is in the city solicit
ing funds for the carrying on of
the work, and the Leader-Ent
prise takes pleasure in recommend
ing her to your most earnest con-
sideration. Miss McKinna repre-
sents a work that is entirely un-
UNCONVENTIONAL and should inter-
est all. The purpose of the Geor-
gia Chlldren's Home Society is to
find comfortable homes for orphans
in families where there are no
children, and in this manner both
the child and the foster parents
are made happy, for there are
many childless homes that would
be frightened by the presence of
little boy or girl. If there are
any in Fitzgerald who might be
interested in this part of the work
Miss McKinna would be glad to
call on you. She is stopping at
the Aldine Hotel.

High School Foot Ball

4uottgn very little has been
seld about it. the Athletic AS
ISOLATION of the High School has
been carefully developing a fair
~ strong team. The material
this year has been some better
than usual. There is consider
able number of pretty HUSKY
looking fellows going to the High
School. Our line is composed of
the strongest of these.
Nor are they all new at the
game. There are Ryman, Waters,
Davis, Wideman, Kurte, Cass,
Pryor and one or two others who
are old enough to have the new
rubbed off. They have scuff1ed
on the grid iron enough to relieve
themselves of nervousness. There
IS little danger of the opposing
team, regardless how husky
its men may be, knocking these
men off their feet.
To complete the line, others
have been added who are equally
as gritty. There is Mashburn
who, though a little light, is de-
Weeping into hustling quarter
back, and Ellars, who does good
work as fullback, and Patterson,
who is taking good care of an
end, and Deese who tackles them
regardless to size, and Waters
who holds steady line on one
side of center, and Griffin who
doesn't mind bucking a line.
These men are not all babies.
Davis, you know, weighs about
IT'S, possibly more. Kurte will not
weigh less than 165. Then there
are four or five others who tip
the scales at right about $50.
The boys have been doing good
solid practice and are pretty we'll
on to their business. Sowe are
not expecting to give any Of the
opposing teams a walk over.
We will be pretty busy from
now until Thanksgiving. On
Oct. 80 we play Albany in AL
bany, on Nov. 10 we play Triton
here, on the Is of Nov. we play
Americas either here or in Amer
icus, and then on the 22nd we
are to meet the same team again
at the opposite place. On Thanks.
giving we will go to Moultrie and
see what we can do for the High
School boys there.
Just two of these fine games
have been scheduled to be played
in Fitzgerald-the ones against
Triton and Americas. If the
present attitude of the team
means anything, however, these
will be our most interesting
games. The boys have fight in
their viens for these two occa-
sions, and will not easily lay
aside a victory.
