No Cost to the Wild Flowers.

No Cost to the Wild Flowers.
The high cost Of living doesn't
touch the wild flowers which the
warm spring days are attracting in
to blossom. Soon the fields and
Lillsidee will be dotted with the var
led colors OF these exquisite odorn-
tngB with which the Creator beau
ttfiad our earth, and the enjoyment
OF these flowers is favor nature
gives appreciative human beings
without cost.
The buds that seemed SO dead and
cold
Are swelling fast beneath the sun
King winter now seems gray and old
His few months journey nearly
run;
The lingering SHOWS have gone at
last
The upland slopes show family
[ green;
The April showers come peltine
fast,
And all the signs OF spring are
seen.

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

Hard times make every woman
look to see where she can save
money, which, Of course, is SEN
sible and proper if not carried
too far.
In the case Of food it would be-
foolish to attempt to substitute
sawdust for breakfast food
because it is cheaper. Everyone
knows saWdust has no food value
and it's use would be positive
detriment to the health.
Alum baking powders may cost
little less than cream Of tartar
powders like Royal, but many of
the highest food authorities both
in this country and abroad have
declared them to be injurious and
not safe to use.
To attempt to cut the cost Of.
living by using low-grade alum
powders is ufMise economy.

HOW WAR NEWS IS
 SENT IN GERMANY

Berlin, Aug 10.-The splendid organization" of which Germany boasts covers even the distribution of war news in the rural districts. MT. successes gained by the armies of the empire in the east and west become known within q few hours in farm houses that ar miles from the near est telspAone station.
 This is accc1 plshed by very simple system. The schoolmasters Of all small villages which have no newspapers are informed by tele- graph or telephone whenever a vic torv has been won somewhere. After telling t'?s ir classes what has hap pened. tha rural educators dismiss school and the pupils run home. shouting "Hurrah' and telling every body the glad tidings. During vaca- tion ti1 es the boys come to the school house once or twice a day to get tho news he teachers may have received.
 The population Of another Mecklen- burg h9mlet was thrown into fer ment last week when t''e "Hurrahs" of the sohoolboys echoed through the streets even more jovously than OH former occasions. The youngste rs sang and danced and when question: cd thev gleef1lllv announced: "Hur- rar. Our schoolmaser has been called 10 the front"

 Month.

A squad of Little Rocks best and most enthusiastic golf players will be in Pine Bluff for an invitation tourna- ment against players of the Pine Bluff Country club. on either August IA or August 21, according to an- nouncement made yesterday by the local club.

.No Concentrations"

When Otto Edward Leopold vuD Bismarck Sch-enhausen was born thu embarrassed parents wrote to their friends: Kindly dispense with con- Eratula:ions." Why? Tbe event hap pened in Germany. where All Fools day was still significant. But Bis. tnarck was born to take the sting out of Der Tag. On one thing, however. he remained fool nearly his whole life .ong-his idolatry Of beer His reply to those opposed to him in this mat ter would probably have been to pro duce huge silver jug and fill 1t with Bayar'1n beer. "That is the head" he would say, "of Field Marshal Derf. finger, conQueror of the Swedes, and one of my ancestors" This Derftilnger. when buy, was apprenticed to . tailnE.

What Scandal la

Of scandal, the New Republic writes: There are few of us who do not enjoy this sense of really know Ing what's what. 1t extends our ex- perience. and gives us vicarious i'm. portanca. If we cannot live great passions. we can at least read about Mime Du Barry's boudoir: if we can. not be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge of the smart set. The moral earnest ness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other peo ple's domestic affairs suggests that gossip is perhaps a genuine primi. tive art in whicz there is interest through pity and fear and pride and Joy. One woman leaves her husband; hundred women chatter about 1t, and their passionate interest might make e cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emn- tons of a great adventure without the risk of moving away from their own steam radiators. Gossip Is ex. perience without responsibility. It Is a means of taking part in inter- esting or important events without any of the risk that comes of being an actor in them. Gossip, in short, Is tho pleasure ot tho spectator et the 6usinesS e life."

When Pea Tankard Wac Used.

It is true no doubt that among tho carly Anglo-Saxons-of the same stoch ae the Germans-tAere wus a great deal of hard drinking and good deal of drunkenness although after the incursions of the Normans the habits of the country ih this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some of the 1eg. platinns which were adorteS for tho purpose of compelling thirsty souls te practice moderation At the instance it is said, of St. Dunstan, archbishop oS Canterbury, King Edgar, for the pur. pose of regulating the quantity a mar might drink, ordained that pegs o' pins should be inserted in the largs drinking vessels then In use The first person who drank em-tied the tank ord to the first peg from the top. tho second to the second peg. and so on. Anyone who went beyond one pin was liable to . penalty.

SAYS HUCKSTERS ROBBED HIM
Remmer Gives Warning Against Men
Who Sell Way Below Market Prices

r. Remmer, whose general store, at
1920 North Cameron street, was robbed
on February 23 and again on March 2,
of goods valued by him at $135, said
to-day that he believes the three men
arrested in connection with these rob
berries and the burglary committed at
the home of Joseph Barath, 1907 Cum
berland street, on March 2, are huek-
sters who had tried, previous to the
robberies, to sell goods to him.
Mr.. Remmer said that he believes
the men accused of having robbed him
had made a practice of following the
business of hucksters in the day time
during which they made mental obser-
vations with regard to places that it
might be easy to break into att night.
He said he believes the public ought to
be on the look out for hucksters who
sell produce at prices way below the
market figures.
Mr.. Remmer said the men who
robbed his store on the first occasion
broke the panel out of door to gain
admittance and on the second occasion
broke in a window and door. They
forced the window open despite the fact
there was heavy bar across it in the
inside. Mr.. Remmer says that goods Of
his, valued at about 500, still are miss
ing.

10 HOURS FOR TROLLEY MEN
Shaaber Bill Provides Prison Penalty
For Those Who Violate It

If the bill introduced by Represen-
tative Shaaber, of Reading, in the
House becomes law, motormen, con-
ductos and drivers for horse, cable
and electric railway companies will
work but ten hours day in this State.
The Shaaber bill provides that it
shall be unlawful for the president,
board of directors, superintendent any
other agent of such company to permit
such employees to work more than ten
hours in the service in any one day. A
violation of the law makes the violator
guilty of misdemeanor and on convic-
tion he shall be sentenced to undergo
an Imprisonment of not less than
thirty days or more than six months.
The second section of the Shaabcr
act, however, is just bit vague 1t
provides that on the trial of such Of
fcer charged with a violation of tire
law "evidence of the actual service by
any motorman, conductor or driver dur
ing more than twelve hours in any one
day shall be prima facie evidence of
such permission or sufferance by the
person on trial.
The act repeals the act of 1887
which limits the hours of such street
railway employees to twelve and pro-
vides for extra compensation for work
done beyond that number. The Shaaber
act arbitrarily fixes the hours at ten
and does not permit of extra work or
extra compensation for any overwork.

FINANCE
EARLY Gains IN MARKET
ARE Offset BY Losses
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Read

Above Yesterdays Close--U. s.
Steel, Pennsy, B. and o at Standstill
By Associated Press.

New York, March 5.-Wall Street
Early prices in to-day's stock market
reflected further uncertainty, gains be-
ing offset by losses. In no cases of i'm
portance were changes more than frac-
tional, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Reading and Atchison selling slightly
above yesterdays close, while United
States Steel, Pennsylvania and Balti-
more and Ohio were at standstill. In
terborough pfd. and American Car rose
a point. Missouri, Kansas and Texas
pfd. fell three points to its minimum
of 26. The new st. Paul Convertible
five per cent. bonds were the strong
feature sof the bond list.
Prices improved materially toward
midday, although trading became duller.
Anthracite issues and Canadian Pacific
rose point or more, with advances
of as much in some of the industrials,
including American Smelling and Ma
tional Lead. Selling of Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas issues, including the
bonds, was ascribed to foreign sources,
Holland being large holder of these
securities. A further decline in gains
called renewed attention to the situa-
tion in the Dardanelles. Bonds made
further progress with the stock market,
some of the recent issues being in spe.
cial demand at higher quotations.
