You know, when you really come to
stop and think about it seriously there
are really very few of US who know
the first principle of the JOY of living.
We merely exist and sometimes it seems
to me that We make poor out of ex-
listing. If We could just fully appre-
ciate the beauty, for instance, of the
October days and the many things that
have been put here for our enjoyment
and pleasure and think less of our
noble selves, we would all be great
deal more happy and know more of
the joy of living. l have met some peo-
pie whom l always felt must be mis-
cradle. They never had kind word
or pleasant smile for any one They
were always saying unkind things and
seemed to think that every other person
was a bad citizen or that something was
all the time wrong and the world was
all out of joint. Nothing was made
right and in fact they could only see
the dark side of the picture. | have
often thought that life to such must
be a terrible thing. Certainly they
had not learned the first principle of
the real JOY of living and then the
worst part Of it, they made others
with whom by the ties of nature they
had to stay-yes, stay with-most mis-
cradle. To such life must be truly
just one -- thing after another as
some one has said:
"If you're keeping step and whistling
some lively little tune,
You'll be living gay and happy as a
summer day in June"
Yes, whistling, even at the risk of
disturbing some germs. Would be a
good thing to transfer some of these
germs. They might do good. And
then be as happy as summer day in
June. Yes, whistle and sing as you go
and get some of the JOY in living.
Now to demonstrate to these two
youthful local reporters that l appre-
ciate and enjoy their bright scintilla-
tions-I reckon that's a good word
and used in the proper connection-1
am going to commend to their careful
consideration beautiful little poem by
Helen Hunt Jackson On "October's
Bright Blue Weather" 1t may be
found in one of the present day school
books, but for fear that it has been so
long since they went to school I am
going to quote it in full for their
special benefit:
90 suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour

DIPLOMATS THINK THAT
BULGARIA TEUTONIC ALLY
Public Interest Still Centered On Allies
Offensive in West and AustrO-
German Advance in East.

London, Oct. 1.-The belief that Bull
garia has taken sides with the central
powers and that the Anglo-French and
Russian troops will assist the Balkan
friends of the entente powers, momen-
tarily has diverted the attention Of
diplomats, but has not dampened the
interest of the public in the situation
in the Eastern and Western theaters
If war.
The allies offensive in the West and
the determination with which the Rus
slans are opposing the Austro-German
advance in the East are the absorb
ing topics.
The news from the two fronts is con-
si6ered the best for many months.
The French and British forces ap-
parently have made no further prog
ress except in the region of Neuville,
in Artois, but they nave been success
full in repulsing the German counter
attacks and so far as is known have
held virtually all the ground gained.
In the East the Russians appear to
be making a much better effort, for
except just in front of Dvinsk and in
Volhynia the Germans claim to nave
made no progress, while between those
two points and in Galicia, according
to Berlin, all the attacking is being
done by the Russians. Indeed, the
Russian troops, by countering the at
tack which Field Marshal Won linden
burg launched at Minsk-from the
northwest-haves succeeded pretty we'll
in strengthening out their line from
north to south.
Italy also is showing signs of re-
newed activity and has commenced an
offensive along the Isonbo river, par
ticularly against the important Aus
trian fortress of Tolmino.
Nothing has been heard Of the
much talked of Austro-German ofens-
i've against Servia or of the operations
on the Gallipoli peninsula.

really enjoy reading sometimes
when l nave nothing else to do and
want some little diversion-I started
out to say that | enjoy reading on oc-
casion the views and observations OF
the two local reporters on the two
local papers. They very frequently
nave some very bright ideas and they
tell them in good shape. For instance
| notice that the local reporter of The
Herald and News gives out under the
head of Various and All About the
startling and valuable information
that October comes in on the first
day of the month this year l was
lust wondering if it came in on the
second or third day Of the month in
other years. At any rate, know the
reading public is delighted to receive
the information that October comes in
On the first day Of the month this
wear. And tnen | was reading under
the head of observations in the Oc-
server that October the beautiful
dawns this morning. 1t is the lowell
est month of the year. Welcome,
sweet October October seems to be
a great favorite with these writer's.
Well, it is sadly sweet month. Space
must be filled and it is the sort OF
stuff the people want and that is the
thing to give them. They are, pretty
good local reporters and not much
happens that they fail to near about
and that is the thing to make the
local paper interesting would not
make much of a local reporter, as |
would never hear of the thing until
it was almost ancient history in this
fast and rapid age. Times are not like
they used to be. A thing-now, that
is not elegant diction, but l reckon it
will pass-I was going on to say that
a thing that happened last week is too
old to print. The world has done moved
on and does not care to hear about
it. Now, I am not criticizing or find
ing fault and l do not want any one
to mistake what am writing. I really
enjoy these little sayings and they are
truly a recreation to the tired mind
and l do not wonder that the reading
public enjoys them.

And then as l have said aforetlme,
like to read and quote sweet little SEN
timents expressed in verse. There
may be people who do not like to read
it, and, as l have said oftentimes, there
is no compulsion on any one to read
anything that l write, and if you find
something now and then in this col
umn that you do not like, why just
skip over it and l will not know any
better, and if l did l would not care.
read a little poem the other day that
think carries not only beautiful SEN
timent. but a great truth, and one tnat
l wish l could impress upon every boy
and every girl as they go out from the
old home. and that is that they do not
forget the folk that they have left
behind, and if you care for them let
them know it while they may appre-
ciate it and before it is too late. The
tendency with most of US is to wait
until the lips are hushed forever and
then try to make amends by strew-
ing the casket with flowers and shed
ding tears that can not be seen and
saying kind things that can not be
heard. The tender words never spoken
will do no one any good. Read the fol-
lowing little poem, my dear young
friends, and put it in your scrap book
and read it every day and then act on
the good thought which it contains:

Before It's Too Late.

If you have a gray-haired mother,
And from home you are away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put off day by day.
Don't wait till her tired steps
Reach heavens pearly gate,
But show her that you think Of her
Before it is too late.
If you've a tender message,
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait?
So make your loved ones happy,
Before it is too late.
The tender words unspoken,
The Letter never sent,
The long-forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait;

THE CONDITION OF COTTON
Is NOW 63.7 PER CENT

New York, Oct 2.-The condition OF
cotton on an average date Of Septem-
Der % as ascertained by over 1000 re-
plies of special correspondents Of The
Journal of Commerce was 63.7 per
cent. as compared with 70.7 per cent
a month ago., representing a deterio-
ration of I points.
This is somewhat excessive, having
been exceeded only once in the past
ten years, when in 1907 the depreci-
alton amounted to IA points; in 1908
it was I points. The ten year aver
age is % per cent deterioration.
Unfavorable weather conditions
brought about unusual shedding and
TIE striking feature Of the report is
universal prediction of an extremely
short top crop A year ago at this
time condition was 75.5 per cent; in
1912 it was GIL per cent, and in 1912
it was 7O.3 per cent.
Largely on account of much prenla-
ture opening, picking is we'll advanced,
being 35.4 per cent gathered, against
33 per cent last year, 80 per cent in
1913 and 2S.2 per cent in 1912.

October's bright blue weather.

October's bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless vagrant,
And golden rod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant.
When gentians roll their fringes tight
To save them for the morning,
And cnestnuts fall from satin burs
Without a sound of warning.
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining.
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-winged seed are sowing,
And in the fields, still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing.
When springs run low, and on the
brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sing noiseless in the
hush
Of woods. for winter waiting.
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts,
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers, hour by hour,
October's bright blue weather
O suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
October's bright blue weather.
Since reading this little poem I am
convinced that I know at least why
the local man of the Observer so loves
the blue October days. 1t is because.
as Helen Hunt Jackson says,
when comrades seek. sweet country
haunts,
By tWos and tows together"
OF course you know what kind Of
twos. Then, too, she says it is time
when
Love lovetn best OF all the year"
Now. my dear young friends, love
you and enjoy reading your little para
graphs. I, too, was once young and
know just how you feel about all this.
And I wish you every joy and pleasure
in these blue October DAYS.
