1--WE believe we can show our
friendship for the world better by
keeping our of this struggle than by
getting into it. I do not N4nisread the
spirit of America.
''I have no indictment of any form
of government.
mo man can lead America, any
where that her people do not desire
to be led. I believe it to he my duty
to subordinate my individual feelings
to the conscientious attempt to inter
pret and express in these international
affairs the genuine spirit of my fellow
citizens.
80 far as America is concerned, no
man need go amongst US preaching
peace. We are disciples of peace al
ready and no man need preach that
gospel to us.
f"The instructions to commanders Of
submarines for the most part are in
accord with ~the law of nations, but
the act of one commander may set
the world on fire.
There are cargoes of wheat and
cotton and manufactured articles on
the sea and every one of them may
cause trouble because they go into
the zone of fire. -
America has drawn no fine points,
no new issues in her international
relations; she has merely asserted the
rights of mankind when the life OF
mankind is threatened in a world
aflame with war, she has rested upon
what is already written plain on the
documents of International law

A pedestrian walking by the home

the house he found the mother and
four children PROSTATE on the floor.

clined to permit the child to be re-

The gas escaped from a jet in the
rear of the kitchen stove A rubber

it's connections allowing the gas, which
was turned on, to escape.
Joseph Demkopky left his home at

slipped the tube from the jet and the
fumes permeated the rooms of the
house.
Mrs Demkopky was lying n the
couch and it is believed that she was
asleep. It is also surnised that on
smelling the fumes she attempted to
rise from the couch and fell PROSTATE

class of customers a store has, the
tired, haggard appearance of the clerk
must have a depressing effect on the

customer can even tell if it is forced.
Tco long hours in the summer can do
much harm in this way.

GEORGIA LEADS THE WORLD
IN VALUE OF PEACH CROP

Fort Valley, Ga, April ia late
official report from Washington shows
that Georgia, in the value of the peach
crop led all other states. California
produced q large quantity, but fell
short in quality, had to accept small
Ter price than did Georgia and took
second place in the measure of dol
lars. Georgia is admittedly pre-em-
nent in the peach world and advances
It's lead with each recurring season.
Charles J. Haden, president Geor-
gia Chamber of Commerce, has this to
say about the Georgia peach: 81 have
bought California peaches in London
and in Paris that had crossed the con-
tinent by rail. passing through Geor-
gia and thence across the Atlantic
ny ship, and paid six cents a piece for
hem. They were wrapped in paper
IN which the growers name was print
ed. | have talked with the dealers
who sold them and they were as glib
with what they knew of the California
peach as if they were native of the Pa
cific soil. When | referred to the Geor-
gia peach, the dealer became suddenly
silent. He could hardly have told un-
der oath.
There is no danger of the peaches
being over-produced for there are 1907
100000 mouths in the United States
and they are multiplying with greater
speed than the peach
