ESSAYS of Ella 1


1t is a sore trial when a daughter
shall marry against her fathers ap-
probation. A little hard heartedness
and aversion TO reconcilement IS al
most pardonable. After all. VIII
Dockwray's way is, perhaps, the
wisest. His best beloved daughter
made a most imprudent match; in
fact, eloped with the last man IN the
world that her father would have
wished her to marry. All the world
said that he would never speak to her
again. For months she durst not
write to him, much less come near
him. But. in a casual rencounter, he
met her in the streets of Ware

mild virtues of William Dockwray,
Esq. What said the parent to his
disobedient child, whose knees fall

"Ha, Sukey! is it your" With that be-
nevolent aspect with which he paced
the streets of Ware, venerated as an
angel; come and dine with us on
Sunday" Then turning away and
again turning back, as if he had for
gotten something, he added, land
Sukey, do you hear, bring your hus-
band with you" This was all the re-
proof she ever heard from him. Need
it be added that the match turned out
better for Susan than the world ex-
pected.

POOR CLOVER SEED STILL IMPORTED

Since July Is, 1915, twenty-six lots
of crimson clover seed have been i'm
ported. In three of these lots, con
tanning enough seed to SOW over g.
$50 acres, there was no seed that
could be expected to grow under field
conditions. The seed in five other
lots, aggregating enough to SOW $500
acres, terminated only from As to 55
per cent. The importation of this
seed, together with 100000 pounds
of seed of low termination during
May and June, makes it more i'm
portant than ever that farmers should
know the termination of the crimson
clover seed they are seeding. AS the
department is without power to pre-
vent the importation of seed of low
termination, unless particular atten-
tion is given to the termination of
crimson clover seed this fall many
crop failures are sure to result from
sowing dead seed The State of Del
aware has a pure Seed" law. which
was enacted by the last legislature.
and it is easy to force dealers to
handle only good seed, if they will
take the trouble to enforce the law.

The Cider Barrel" is a nuisance in
this part of the country. 1t has be-
come such nuisance that the people
are ready to retalliate against those
who are making the lives of others
unpleasant by their misbehavior, and
a temperance sentiment is rapidly
forming in this community, which will
advocate the stringest enforcement of
the peace as well as the temperance
laws. To such an extent has this
nuisance gone that it is not only the
young men who are riding up and
down the public roads on Sundays
with their bottles and jugs, but men
well past thirty years, who have fam
lilies, are often offenders. 1t is high
time that a civilized community was
getting active and effectively stop this
so-called cider" selling, and the re-
sultant drunkenness.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third

Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness

the form of snuffs and vapors do little.

To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the

Vehement Attacks Made by Ex-

ROME, February 81. Vehement at
tacks upon the government were made
in the chamber Of deputies yesterday
by the extremists because of instruc-
tions given projects to prohibit meet
ings. even when they are described
as private, If there is reason to believe
they would result in disorders. The
order was designed to prevent clashes
between those who favor 1talys Inter-
vention in the war and those who ad-
vocate strict neutrality. A tumult arose
when the extremists declared the pro-
hibition of such meetings was q sup.
preston Of liberty and In violation OF
law.
Premier Salandra replied to the
criticisms of le government. He de-
clared the instructions to the projects
were designed to protect liberty, which
was threatened by violence, raise the
dignity of the country which had been
Injured by dissensions and cement q

that Signor Mosti-Trotti had met death
while performing his duty with the

through Belgium to the western front
and the troops which had been sent to
northern Belgium are going back to
the trenches.
TIE fact that some of the troops now
passing through Belgium come from
the eastern front suggests to the mill
tary observers that the Germans have
decided that they are able to hold the
Russians in their present positions
while the Germans are carrying out
their new offensive in the west.
German Staff Silent.
The. silence of the German general
stan is taken in London as confirma-
tion that some big move such as that
suggested is under way. 1t is declared
that the allies are displaying no un-
easiness.
They believe that the softness of the
ground must prove great disadvan-
tage to the Germans. and although all
the new troops of the allies are not
yet ready. that they will be able to
repel any new attack.
