POETRY FOR TODAY

War news is scarce upon Page One,
E'enthough the fghting's far from done.
What chance for Mars star role when
The ColonePs on Page One againf
The Allies swat the Dardanelles,
But not of it the headline tells,
No other dope's of interest when
T. R. is on Page One again.

Across five columns said, Good byl''
Away with her, and sword and sheath,
The cartoons now show T. RS teeth.

the belt and bound with black braid the
same as the front and the lower edge.
Huge white ball buttons complete the
trimming and below the binding on the
circular skirt, the cuffs of Russian
boots are seen in black patent leather
to match the vamp, while the quarter
is made of white kid. A small turban
of black straw with white wings far
ing on either side carries out the bal
ance of the black and white, marking
the skill of a clever modiste.
Many variations are seen in this
suit. Here it is made without the
pockets, and there with a shawl collar
in place of the notch. However, if you
start in quest of some really new fabric
you are doomed to disappointment un-
less the fabric be cotton. Invariably
as you roam through the racks and
models of the cloak and suit depart
ments, you see the black-clad sales
woman pause in front of the chair of a
prospective customer and hear her say,
"A dark, blue serge or gabardine, shep-
herds check worsted or Donnegan

woodward's Hat in the Ring

Representative Habgood, Of Mexican
county, has brought out, in his news
paper, the Bradford "Star," Repre-
sentative James F. Woodward, of Allie
Egheny, for the Republican nomination
for State Treasurer in 1916. Mr..
Woodward served in the Legislature
from 1905 to 1911 and missed the ses-
sion Of 1913 through failure of election
in the Washington party landslide of
1912. He was elected last year and
made chairman of the Appropriation
Committee of the House by general
choice. He haG made the matter of
State appropriations a study during his
various legislative terms. 1t is Gus
tomary as the election for State Treas.
urer approaches to mention the name
of the chairman of the House Appro-
priations Committee for that Office, but
only once has such a chairman been
nominated, in 1905, when Lee Plum.
mer, of Blair, was put up and defeat
ed by William H. Berry, Democrat. Mr..
Plummer was an exemplary chairman of
the House Appropriations Committee, but
he went down before the popular Ber-
ry. Mr.. Woodward may have his op-
portunity, but Mr.. Plummer, it is said,
will again be a candidate for the nomi-
nation for State Treasurer.

Lawmakers Who Have Gone Higher

Speaking of legislators "being
called" to assume State positions of
more Importance, it is interesting to
note that not in the past fifty years
has man who served as a legislator
been made Governor of Pennsylvania,
although many have had aspirations.
And, what is just as interesting, George
Wallace Delamater, who served in the
Senate, was nominated in 1890 for
Governor by the Republicans and was
defeated by Robert E. Pattison, Demo
crat, who was running for second
term. On the other hand, many mem
bers of the Senate were nominated for
Lieutenant Governor and elected.
Charles W. Stone. of Warren, served in
both House and Senate. William T.
Davies, of Bradford; Louis Arthur
Watres, of Lackawanna; Walter Lyon,
of Allegheny; John P. S. Goblin, of Leb
anon, and William M. Brown, of Law
renee, all served as State Senators and
all aspired to the gubernatorial nomina,
ton, but failed to get it. OF the Sec
retaries of the Commonwealth in the
last half-century, Matthew Stanley
Quay served in the House from Beav-
er; Jacob H. Longeneeker, Bedford, and
Da<fd Martin, Philadelphia, served in
the Senate. Of the Attorneys General
in that time, but one served as legis
lator, John P. Elkin, of Indiana, in the
House.

President Wilson, ali things con-
sidered, is the hardest-worked work
ingman in the United States today
and it is difficult to understand how
he gets any sleep when we consider
the tremendous weight of anxiety
and responsibility he takes to bed
with him every night. A mighty ma
tion is poised on the perilous edge
of the abyss of war, and one small
flaw in the fine mechanism of Wood
row Wilson's intellect, one slip in
cog, one false move in the greatest
and most dangerous and difficult
same of diplomacy ever played by
this government with another, and
the country may go over the edge
and crash down amid the other ma
tions wallowing and weltering in the
bloody horrors of Wholesale human
butcherN. Every praying man and
woman in America should beseech
the Almighty to guide and strength

the head of the republic to the end
that he may bring his country with
honor and safety through the peri!s
that threaten it from a world gone
mad.

this week:
"Buoyant confidence that the

alton.
Construction operations continue
steadily, with some large items re-
ported, and there is growth in the
number of announcements of indus

Extensive facilities provided for
financing the cotton crop create very
promising conditions regarding the
marketing of the staple and bid fair
to be an important factor in deter
mining the price.
Banking Position
THE banking position is excep-
tionally sound. The steel mills are
being operated practically at capac-
ity. The whole situation, especially
II. this section of the country, with
its cotton crop, is so much better
than it was year ago that there is
little comparison There is a market
for cotton at fair price, whereas a
year ago there was no market. In.
dustrial plants that were idle are be-
ing operated on full time. Business
rien are confident of good business
during the coming fall. There are
helpful results from the practice of
economy.

Even in negative ways do the in
comparable advantages of South
Florida force themselves upon pub
lie attention. After leisurely prog
fess eastward for more than ten
years past, the dreaded boil weevil,
which makes such terrible havoc in
the cotton fields and against which
no effective protection has been
found, has reached South Georgia,
and will undoubtedly cross over into
the cotton fields of North Florida.
Down in this end of the State where
we grow no cotton we have nothing
to fear from the devastating insect,
but none the less do we sympathize
with our neighbors farther north
Let us hope that the high-priced,
fine fibered Sea Island cotton grown
up in Suwannee and neighboring
counties will prove too rich for the
blood of the vulgar plebian weevil
accustomed to coarser fare, and il
will let those fields alone. There
may be more sentiment than sense

some people, have capricious tastes
