Bind It's odors to the lily,
Bind the aspen ne'er to CULVER,
Then bind love to last forever.
There are young women who seem
to take especial pride in letting their
overfondness for the admiration of
some men be noticed. 1t makes no
difference to such one whether he is
the husband of her dear friend. She
forgets the warning that the heart of
the wife he won long ago is trembling
with the fear lest she will be at the
mercy of her cherished chum and he
will be taken away from her.
He has whispered into the ears of
an the well-studied story he had clev-
erly concocred of an unhappy home
life, invalid wife, who was uncon-
genial, treating him coldly and hav-
ing outbursts Of temper which are
driving him away
The old, old story is his plea, in
terspersed with deep-drawn signs and
often moistened eyes. 1t is downright
dangerous and pitiful for young, at
tractive women who are susceptible
and believe they can charm one and
all to be exposed to the constant COM
partnership Of a man who strives with
all his might to render himself agree
able, despite the fact that he is hus-
band. A married man has no prin-
ciple if he Shows undue attention to
any woman save his wife. Her dignity
as his wife, the hope she has always
had to protect his honor and make
glad his home, usually suffer when the
tongues of the gossips are set wag-
ging by the reports of her husbands

For small, spring grain crops COM

if grass seed is sown with the grain.

How to Use Old Hay.

The old hay around the stack yards
will make good filling for checking
the washes about the meadow and
pasture lands, but If left where it is it
will kill out the meadow growth. The
fencing surrounding these yards also
ought to be cleaned up, else it will
prove a great nuisance when harvest
time comes.

GOLD THE GREAT DEMOCRAT.

ParadoNically, among commodities gold is the worlds greatest demo- crat It knows no caste and plays no favorites Though as the stan dard of value in every enlightened country it is the aristocrat of fl nance, it ebbs and flows with the tide of commerce It is the sole basis of financial transactions in every country of the civilized world, and is absolutely obedient to the law of supply and demand.
 That is why with the balance of trade more than $10O0 .0O0000 in our favor. and rapidly increasing. it is drifting steadily into the coffers of Uncle Sam in spite of the frantic efforts of those nations of Europe that must have our wares to pre-. vent it.
 Once gold leaves the shelter, that precious metal knows no country and practically no master. It be comes a citizen of the universe. if
 such an appellation be appropriate for an inanimate object and much of the coinage supply of the United States is as apt to come from one portion of the globe as from an other.
 Bear in mind that the world S stock of gold coin and bullion in 1912 was $S,4S0, 100000 and is now not more than $9,5O000O, 900; approXi- mately one-fifth of this was in the United States on July 1 last; the loans of the belligerent nations at the beginning of the war tOtaled $28 .35S. .064 900, and that their war loans to date total $l5 625 900 00o more, that Wall street estimates the value of the American securities still held abroad to be only about $2 .000 0O0, ,O00, and that gold is the only money of the belligerents which the neutrals will accept for war supplies, and you have food for thought.

Georgia Mosquitos
 Don't Like Yellow

SAVANNAH, Ga.-The yellow silk stockings of a society girl have led to an interesting scientific discov~ cry.
 The young woman was a mem Der of a house party near Atlanta, where mosquitos are very preva- lent. One evening the mosquitos were so particularly bad and made such savage attacks upon the silken- clad ankles that the girls were all driven off the front porch. None could understand why the mosqui- tos had not bothered one girl until somebody observed that all the girls except her were wearing black or white stockings but hers were of pronounced yellow.
 A physician in the party began series of experiments that proved that mosquitos, at least those in that locality, will not alight on any thing that is yellow. The physician does not guarantee that yellow stockings will avert mosquitos every where, but he passes the suggestion along.

A POLICY OF ACTION.

\ signal advantage of the plan of concerted action in Mexico by the United States and six leading southern republics is that 1t re lieves our government of the charge of weakness in dealing with the
 Mexican problem.
 The only merit of the Presidents policy is that it has kept Us out
 of war with Mexico, but it is marred by the Vera Cruz fiasco, in which We went to the cost and labor of sending an army into Vera Cruz and withdrawing it without accomplish ing anything of permanent value. 1 We should either have stayed out or gone farther and settled the trou- ble
 Now We have definite policy of action with a fair hope of solving the problem without danger of ar raying all South and Central America against us as a possible aggresSor We have the co operation of our neighbors to cure the Mexican dis
 order, which is a menace to the continent.
 There is an ardent desire on the part of sane Americans that the peaceful methods attempted by the conference shall succeed. We do not want war. We cannot spare the money or the men necessary
 to pacify Mexico by force. But we should make up our minds that we must persist either by peaceful methods or by force until a settle ment is gained. The administration cannot afford to draw back now short of final adjustment. It would
 be fatal both from the standpoint
 of politics and the public welfare | Both combine in urging action which will result in success.

sists to this day. Of evidence which would be accepted in a criminal or civil court there was none. The presumption was based on the enor- nous increase in imports beyond the regular needs of Bermuda in times of peace.
 The only difference between what We did to the Sprinsbok and what England has done to many Ameri- can Cargoes in the present war, is this very important fact: We did have an effective blockade of the ports of the Confederacy. while Eng land has none of the German coast And this is point which must loom large in any discussion with Eng land over the present situation.

THE SPRlNGBOK PRECEDENT.

The right of a belligerent nation to interfere with neutral commerce on the sea is bound to become q matter of acute discussion since England does not seem ready to grant the correctness of the Amer can point of view. It was worth while, therefore, to examine our our own record during the Civil War. because, sooner or later, We shall be asked to accept as sauce for the gander what We called sauce for the goose,
 Newspapers already have made a number of false assertions concern ing the practice of American war 1 ships and neutral vessels of cont merce during the period from 1861 to 1865. It has been said we seized only contraband. It has been said that goods shipped to a neutral port were intercepted only when 1t was proved conclusive!y that the goods were contraband and intended for | reshipment to Confederate ports. Both statements are entirely wrong.
 If our ships could prevent it, not 1 even a sheet of writing paper was allowed to go into a Southern har- | bor Nor did We permit anything i to De exported from the South. For | lack of cotton hundreds of thou sands of workers in English mills and allied industries were thrown out of employment and for the req | son that American warships seized all Southern cotton on the seas, even when shipped from port in neutral Mexico, and carried under British flag.
 In the matter of neutral goods consigned to neutral port, the American record has one case that of the Springbok-which stands out from scores of others. Briefly, these were the facts:
 The Springbok was an English ship which sailed from London for the port of Nassau, Bahama, an English colony. When 150 miles from Nassau it was captured by the American warship SOnoma, with out search, and taken to prize court in New York. There it's cargo was valued at $33O,OOO, of which goods worth s3,500 or about i per cent. were considered contra band. On an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, it was held that the entire cargo should be con fiscated since there was a presump tion that it was intended for re shipment to the South. Thus was written into international law, as
 far as the United States is con cerned, the theory of continuous voyage" and England accepted the principle.
 It is a fact that there was no actual evidence of intention to reship the Springbok cargo. The mani
 fest and bills of lading showed 2 consignment to a regular agent in
 Nassau to be sold by him. This is la centuries-old practice, and per.

A Flower Shower
 For Mrs. Brown

One of the very prettiest impromp-
 tu affairs which have ever taken place in Fairbanks occurred last Wednesday afternoon, when flow
 err shower was given Mrs. J. Knox Brown
 The occasion was Mrs. Brown s | birthday, and number of her friends
 finding it out descended upon her
 laden with the most exquisite flo
 ral offerings, to her very great sur
 prise and pleasure.
 Mrs. Browns garden is one oi Fairbanks show" gardens and nc
 work is considered too much fOl this lover of flowers. Consequently when it was discovered that Sept 1st was her birthday, word was passed around among her friends who, after discussing several plans appropriate for this gracious lady than 'floWer' shower, and the idea was carried out with the great est possible success.
 It would be hard to imagine any where more magnificent array ot blossoms than those showered on
 Mrs Brown, for they comprised erything-choicest roses, carna tions, forget-me-notS, sweet peas, as
 ters phloX, pansies-and the latter
 were certainly never eXcelled in Outside gardeLa either in regard 70
 size or coloring.
 It was an event long to be re i membered both by Mrs. Brown and
 those responsible for the happy event
