KING GEORGE AS A MARKsMAN

From the London Evening Standard
 If 1t ever came to a personal contest between the rulers of the nations now at war, who would come out on top? In point of markmanship King George would probaly win. There are few better shots in the world than his majesty, and the Kaiser, though a fine marksman, is by no means his equal King George showed astonishing accu- racy of aim as lad of II, and a few years ago performed the almost unique feat of firing both barrels of two guns in such rapid succession that four dead birds fell

The Farm Country Needing Rain

| certainly hope the rain in Bir- mingham this afternoon was general throughout the state" said J. D. Leslie, the city last night after trip through northern Alabama. T saw a great deal ot corn and much cotton on my trip, but some of the corn is in very bad condi- ton and the cotton is drying up for lack of rain.
 The rain is very welcome in Bir- mingham, 1 know, but think what an enthusiastic welcome it will receive in the rural districts. It will place the farmers in more optimistic frame of mind as regards their crops and will make the business of selling goods much easier for us salesmen."

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE LAND OF REST.

There's a land of rest awaiting,
 Just across the Great Divide, Where the silence makes for sleeping
 And the heart that's sorely tried In world of strife and clamor.
 Knows at last a wondrous peace, And the turmoil ends forever
 And the shocks of battle cease. Millions lulled in dreamless slumber
 Never heed the flight of time, Those whose lot in life was lowly,
 Those who reached the heights sublime. Leveled all, in station equal,
 There the poorest and the best, By the busy world forgotten,
 In that quiet land of rest.
