the PESslMlST,

THE PEsslMisT.
Black looks the sky to the pessimist
The sun is never shining
Sorrow and troubles are meat for him.
And always he's found repining
Is the weather cold, does the wind
blow high, -
Does it make the blood flow fast
He's sure disease will come with
run.
And all 60 to ruin at last.
The laughter and Joy of childhood days
To him are nothing but pain;
He's borrowing trouble from morn till
night
And sings but sad refrain.
His face is long, his brow is black.
His presence a cold rebuke,
And if he should go to heaven at last
Twill only be by fluke.
THE oPr,Mls1.
All hail the smile of the optimist,
AS he showers his blessings free:
No matter what trouble or trials come
up,
The bright sides all he can see;
He is the man with the jolly grin.
OF such there are too few
Who swings his arms and loudly
shouts,
lis it cold enough for you"
He is the man who smiles at rain,
And welcomes the gentle dew,
Who whistles to keep his courage up
When nothing else will do.
He's the same old boy in August hot,
When everyone's in a stew,
Who smiles and shouts as you pass
him by,
els it hot enough for you"
Moral.
Has your luck gone back, Is your spirit
sore,
Does nothing seem worth while?
Then drink of the cheer Of the op-
timist,
And smile, darn you smile.

RENEW RESPONSE
 10 CALL FOR GOLD
Exchange of Coin for Paper at Bank of France
 Again Goes Up

Paris September 1S.-Through the stir every part of the country to turn in the largest sums. the voluntary exchange Of gold for paper dimensions at the Bank of France and It's branches. which had dropped to 5o,ooo,ooo francs tslo,ooo,0oo) weekly has again risen to 6o,0O0.0O0 francs. The railway men have thus far done the most toward swelling the total. and there is also considerable rivalry among parish priests and mayors of cities, who are is- suing calls to the public urging them to give up their gold for their country's s sake. As an example Mayor Bellamy of Nantes posted the following on the bil- boards of the city today:
 "Our branch of the Bank of France has taken in 15 minutes in gold over s15. .0Oo, 900, but this Is not sufficient to keep the gold reserve intact, but this Is not enough. To keep your gold Is to betray those who are giving their blood. Keep your gold and you delay victory. To bring in your gold is to be good Frenchman. For France, for the honor of Nantes de- posit your gold.''
 Farmers who came to fair at a vil- lage in Tourin on Wednesday brought to a representative of the Bank of France 4G, 1000 francs in two hours.

Joint Note Presented to Sofia Asking Where
 She Stands
CONCESSIONS MADE
 BY SERVIA SUBMITTED
Are Believed to Be Sufficient to at Least Secure Her Adherence to the Balkan League-Deep Interest in
 Balkan Capitals in Latest Turn

Paris, September 1s.-(6 p. m)--The en- tente allies have presented joint note to Bulgaria asking in effect that 1t de- clare itself as between them and the central powers. The note, however. is not in the nature of an ultimatum
 The note delivered at Sofia two days ago was sent in pursuance of decision by the allied powers to test Bulgaria 8 gcoc faith by submitting the recent con sessions made by Servia with the view O. securing from Bulgaria definite state- ment as to her position.
 Although the note does not fix a date diplomats familiar with It's contents say it will require Bulgaria to take a stand one way or the other. It asks Bulgaria whether the Servian concessions. secured through the joint offices of the allies, will bring about Bulgaria's cooperation with the other Balkan states.
 What, if any, reference is made to Greece Is not disclosed, but it appears that Servia's concession is held sufficient to secure Bulgarias adherence to the Bal kan union. While the exact limits of the Macedonian territory which Servia comedies are not known. the concession Is believed to cover all the territory east of the vardar river with a possible neu- tral zone west of the river. Such con- cession would give Bulgaria territory along her western frontier, and would leave Servia an opportunity to expand northward and westward, the territory now controlled by Austria.
 All the legations here of the Balkan states are showing deep interest border ing on agitation. on the latest turn of events. The general view in Greco-Ser- vian quarters Is that the allies note brings the question to a definite issue.
 Bulgarian advices were somewhat con- tradictory concerning the nature of the note.
 Regarding the agreement between Tur- key and Bulgaria for the Turkish railway concession. the understanding here Is that the arrangement has been made, but that the date for the transfer has not yet been definitely fixed. It first was announced that the transfer would occur tomorrow. but that later was changed to September 26, and afterward was re- ported to have been postponed to Oc. tober 6.
 Officials and diplomats are awaiting Bull garia's answer to the allied note as the turning point in the Balkan situation.

 Berlin-Activty Along Servan Border

The Russians. finding that their advance into Galicia was bringing their line out of alignment with the rest of the front, apparently have withdrawn to the Sereth river. which was at their back when they began the attacks that drove the Teutons to the stripa river, just north of the Galician frontier On the other hand, the Russians, reinforced, have be- come aggressive in the fortress triangle of Rovno, Dubno and Lutsk, and have compelled the Austrians to detire west ward.

MRS. HARTMAN ON
 WOMEN WORKERS Makes Public Report She Made to Industrial Re-
 latiOns Commission

San Francisco. September 1S.-Mrs. J. of the federal industrial relations com mission. made public here today portions of report she presented to the com mission concerning the economic stua- ton of women. This report, she said, being of subsidiary nature. would not be formally presented to Congress but establish a permanent commission on in- dustrial relations.
 'The principle of a fair days pay for a fair days work figures little, and the cost of living figures less, in de- termining the wage level for women in industry the report says.
 Argument concerning the relation be- tween conditions menacing the welfare of women in industry and social unrest Is not necessary. It would require reck- less optimism to contend thAt several million wage-earners. working at rates indisputably below those which men could. or would, accept, were not a menace to the wage scale, or that large numbers of women working with equip ment and under conditions preJuoiciar to their physical organization, are without social and industrial significance.
 But it Is necessary to call attention to the fact that because of the youth of the large majority of wage-earning wom- en and the comparative brevity of their industrial life, they lack the solidarity necessary to make effective protest. Women pass from industry into homes of their own to become mothers of we'll born or ill-born children. These latter go back to the mills, factories. offices and stores to take the places of those retreating from the battle for bread. whether each turn of this human spiral leads to a higher or lower plane of physical. mental and moral life. de- pends largely upon the conditions under which women work"

Bulgaria scarcely can avoid making known her determination.
 The Russian city of Wilma. which the Russians have held so stubbornly, has been nearly surrounded by German troops and its fall seems imminent. Won Hin denburg's forces have broken through at several points west of Wilma and are driving the Russians before them, Ger man army headquarters declares. Only one railroad outlet, that to Lida, remains to the Russians.
 Tn the fight for Dvinsk the Germans claim to have captured outlying positions during attacks on the Russian bridgeh cad. Won Mackenzen, after capturing Pinsk and clearing the marshes nearby of the Russians, Is driving further on and talk Ing numerous prisoners.
 Tn the south where the Russians still claim to be on the offensive. gaining victories and making important captures, Berlin declares German troops have be- gun to drive the Russians back.
 On the western front Paris reports a continuance of artillery engagements. Der lin says a French attempt to recapture a trench section near Perthes was frus- trated.

LOOKING AFTER GOOD ROADS
splItios Drag Can Be Employed q
Good Advanta0e-Prompt, Inte'll-
gent Action Needed.

Every farmer should spend some
time looking after the roads. The
splitlog drag can be used to good i'd
vantage. Road dragging at the proper
time will insure good dirt roads the
greater part Of the year. All 1t needs
is prompt, intelligent action. 1t must
however. be done at the right time
to get the best results.
Yes! 1t Is true in many places that
the road dragging should be done BY
the county, but every farmer should
take enough interest in the community
welfare to see that the road In front
of his farm is gone over with . split
log drag.
There is no other one thing that
would add to our advancement, both
commercial and social as much %
would good roads. Spend a few hours
at this aso of the year, when the
frost is coming out of the ground and
the wet from rain and n Is drying
up. with q splitlog drag and 1t will
result in better roads, a good adver.
tisement for your farm and its owner.
