The Depot Girls.
published by request).

In every town where railroads run
You'll! find the depot girls;
Some who are frisGy ami full OF fun
And remind you of pet squirrels.
Some are old and some are young,
And some are middle-aged;
Some know how to use their tongues
Like a parrot that is Gagged.
Some have rats" upon the brain
Rats" quite large and llins
quite small -
Some go just to see the train,
While others go to see it all.
Some go there to get their mail, y
Others take their male" along;
Some 60 there for fear they fail
To hear their sweetheart's latest
song.
Some go there to meet their aunts, -
Knowing well they'll never come;
But, you see, it gives chance
To go upon a little bum"
Some go there in broad daylight,
To be seen and see;
Others prefer the shades O night
When they feel more free.
Some advice Id like to give
These wayward depot strollers"-
It's true as Gospel, sure as you live,
That you'll end like all high roll
ers."
The girl that seeks the love of man
Will find it not in such place;
But, if she wishes. she surely can
Easily find her own disgrace.
Some parents ought to take pill
Of good old common sense"
And block the road that leads down
hill,
Where troubles all commence.
And keep the girls that wear short
skirts
Away from the tempter's snare.
And thus keep a lot of budding firts
From blooming, as it were.

had the misfortune to lose his new
and modern dwelling last Thursday,
by fire. All of the furniture. and

who is attending college at Union.
Miss Kate Ellis spent Saturday
and Sunday with friends at Marion.
Mr. W H Andrews, of the Atlantic
Coast Lumber corporation, spent
Wednesday of last week in town on
business matters.
Yesterday prices of tobacco began
to soar high again, tobacco that had
been bringing very little jumped to

urday with her daughter, Miss ulo-

services of the latter's sister, Mrs
A W Flagler, Saturday afternoon at
Kingstree.
One of the most commendable
steps taken in the "buy-a-bale"
movement here is that of Mr. John
M Sturgeon, who is taking cotton on
his accounts, giving the planter a
receipt for the cotton at ten cents,
and holding the cotton until such Il,
time as he sees fit to sell, the diff
ference realized above the ten cents
to be given to the planter.

have been residing at Hemingway

bar, was in town Saturday.
A real-estate company is conduct

Lord WIMBORNE either recall his chal.

A billion Bushels Of Wheat I.

Figures that can be made on the
basis OF the farm conditions exhibited
in yesterdays Government crop report
read like n fairy tale. Never has the
agricultural year made such a start In
America. A total winter and spring
wheat crop Of billion bushels, or not
far from a quarter Of billion bushels
above the aggregate record harvest, is
within the reach Of agricultural posi-
bility this sea son.
That may look like imagination run
ming riot, but II the present promise Of
winter wheat Is borne out and nature
is as kind in the next few months as
she has been so far this year. and the
spring wheat does proportionately as
we'll as the winter crop. this stupendous
wheat yield Of bright fancy will be
sober fact. The vision Of such agricul-
tural abundance may paralyze belief
at this time, when the American bust
ness community has SO accustomed It.
self to dark and forehoding views that
1t may be unable to appreciate the sig
nificance Of Il possible billion bushel
wheat crop Rut why should American
business continue to give itself over
to the gloomy ghosts which have cast
their spell over enterprise in this fair
land? There Is something in the agri
cultural vista Of the year which ought
to exercise the blue devils.
Every figure in the May crop report
told Of unusually favorable auspices
for agricultural effort. The condition
Of meadow and pasture lands at the
beginning Of the month was almost 3
per cent. above the ten year average.
The percentage Of spring planting done
was just about the average. while the
percentage Of spring ploughing was not
far from per cent. above the average.
! The weather since the first Of the
month has been propitious, and all con-
dition figures must have been main
/ tanned. Rye gained during April, but
of far greater Importance was the ad-
vance from 800 to $50 in the condition
/ of winter wheat.
An almost perfect crop of wheat Is
growing over 35,3s7, 900 acres, which Is
fully 100000 acres more than ever
yielded harvest. Assuming only aver.
age deterioration. the harvest Of the
winter wheat may he as much as &c.
OOO.OOO bushels. This would be 1O7..
600. 600 bushels in excess Of last years
record yield.
There Is. as THE Sun predicted yes
terday, food here for optimism about
the American business future. Admit
ting that agricultural conditions in the
spring are rather crop promise thar
crop prospect. the conditions to-day
nevertheless constitute n basic fact OF
which the business community can es
tablish new hope for the recovery OF
national prosperity.

May 10. for the first time In the history
OF Pennsylvania, n Statewide primary
election will be held to nominate candi-
dates for Governor, United states Sena.
tor. Congressman, State Senators and
Representatives. and Judges for the su-
preme Court and other important offices.
Some Of the candidates are:
Republicans: The Hon. Boies Penrose
and A. BENJAMIN Dimmick. for Senator.
and DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh Of Phila-
delphia, formerly from Huntington
county, for Governor. unopposed.
Democrats: The Hon. Vance Mccormick
Of Harrisburg. Administration. and
Michael J. Ryan of Philadelphia, Old
Guard Democracy. for Governor: the
Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer Of Stroudsburg.
Administration, and Henry Budd Of Phil
adclphia. Ryan Democrat, for Senator.
Bull Moose: Judge Brumm OF Potts
willie and William Draper Lewis OF Phil
adelphia, for Governor, and Clifford
Plnchot, without opposition. for Senator.
These candidates will probably win Re-
publicans, Dr. Martin @. Brumbaugh. for
Governor, and the Hon. Boies Penrose. for
Senator. Democrats: The Hon. Vance
Mccormick. for Governor. and the Hon.
A. Mitchell Palmer. for Senator. Bull
Moose William Draper Lewis. for Gov
ernor, and Clifford Pinchot, Senator.
It would have been a holiday amuse-
ment ten years ago for the Republican
organization. with its $4,000 Republican
votes to $4,000 Democratic votes. TO have
nominated Democratic candidate for
Governor most acceptable to the leaders
but with only $4,000 votes cast for
Taft for President in 1912, there will be

mary election ever held In Pennsylvania.
to jugglc with the ballot or to divert Re-
publican votes to Democratic candidates
for the purpose OF defeating those candl-
dates most objectionable to the Republic
can organization.
No estimate OF the vote likely TO be
cast for any candidate for Senator or
Governor will be given to the public, ex-
cepting as to Senator Penrose. and the
statement has been made that his vote
at the May primaries will equal that
cast for Taft in 1912. and IL that predic-
ton should hold good. there would be
$4,000 Roosevelt Republican votes for
division between Dmmick. Republican
Plnchot. Bull Moose. and Palmer. Demo-
crat, or to remain away from the polls.
The total vote. therefore. that Is likely
to be cast for Dimmick. the opponent OF
Senator Penrose. will be the Taft vote
that he will pull away from Penrose and
the Roosevelt vote that will funk from
Pinchot, The aggregate may reach
100000 votes. In no event Will II exceed
10000 votes. and It Is likely to run
very close to the total vote cast for
Pinchot.
