A Washington special says that
there will be a big conference at the
treasury department next Monday
when representative men of the south

Treasury McAdoo regarding relief for
the cotton producers, who are hit
by the European tariff. The tenta.
tive plan being considered Is the Is
suance OF federal reserve notes based
on cotton warehouse receipts as Sc
curity.
The later investigations OF the law
convince Secretary McAdoo that the
federal reserve board has power 20
do this without any additional legisla.
tion.
Senators Bryan and Fletcher were
asked by Secretary McAdoo to select
delegates to represent Florida al this
conference. and they have just an
nounced the following selections:
To represent Florida bankers: W

BEATS WEIHE's "WHAT IS TIT"

The children of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Borden, while playing in the back
yard of their residence yesterday
morning, discovered "a creeping
thing" that is entirely more of puz-
zle than Weihe's What is it?"
One of the little fellows came near
stepping on it and Of course was bad
ly frightened.
The "what-you-call-it" somewhat re-
sembles a ground puppy or an over
grown tobacco worm, only it's color
is, brown instead of green. Its head
is OF the order of miniature rhinoc-
eros, and its legs are like those of
some species of worms.
1t might be likened to an army
worm of the allied powers of Europe
and may have been dropped from an
aeroplane and waited over to us on
the wings of the winds.
Whatever it is, it is strange enough.
and is not at all prepossessing in ap-
pearance, and one would like to han
die 1t only with a pair of tongs.
Mrs. Borden took it to the Court
Fharmacy, where the curious can give
II an inspection, as it has been made
harmless by being placed in alcohol.

WOMAN, THE HOME BUILDER

Man, thou hast built the house,
But | have built the home;
And wheresoe'er thy feet may fare,
Wherever thou mayst roam,
Back to this hearth which I have lit
Thy weary steps shall come.
When unto dust thy house
Shall crumble in dismay;
When stone and turret shall fall down
On some disastrous day,
Our children's children shall not see
My silent work decay.
Thine the imperial power,
Races unborn shall learn,
But mine shall be the victory
For which high kings must yearn,
When time at last shall wreck thy
house,
My hearts faint spark shall burn!

MESSAGE OF SYMPATHY TO w.
c. T. U. COMRADES IN EUROPE
Rest Cottage,

Rest Cottage,
Evanston, ILL.,, Aug. 4, 1914.
My Dear Comrades:
We are simply appalled, by the
sudden arming of all Europe and the
prospect of one of the greatest wars
in history, and cannot help feeling
deeply concerned about our dearly
loved friends on the Continent and in
England. We are troubled also for the
many white ribboners among the
thousands of American tourists now
in Europe. All will, we fear, be sub
jected to great inconvience, and our
comrades who reside in the war zone
may suffer serious loss. In common
with every member of our worldwide
organization we deplore such a war,
and dare picture to ourselves it's awful
possibilities.
That our peace propaganda has
been wholly in vain we will not be-
lieve We note with thankfulness that
the majority of the war cartoons in
the European as well as the American
press, emphasize the cruel, deplorable
and devastating effects of war, rather
than the patriotism, pomp and glory
of conquest.
1t seems incredible that such con-
fict can be precipitated in this Gen.
tury. which we have fondly believed
heralded the establishment of world
wide peace, and we can only hope and
fervently pray that a miracle may
still be wrought and that some of the
horrors of the present situation may
be averted.
To you, dear sisters, who are face
