Ever to those who would fain receive.

Dwell in the smoke of the leaves so

Golden dreams of the golden Past,
Freed as the fragrant smoke ascends,
JOY and sorrow fast Weaves and blends

All, faint perfume of other years.
Scatter your memories near and far,
Leave dim gates of the Past ajar.
Let us gaze, thru a mist of tears,
Back to the days of the long ago,
Days when Youth and the Earth were

Gay leaves f1utter'd from branches there,
Nature basked in the Autumn glow.
Oft. we strolled thru the leafy lane.

Battle Cry Of Peace

Concerning the Battle Cry Of Peace
The Five Hundred Thousand Dollar
Film production, which comes to City
hall on Oct. 4th for three days, the
Worcester, Mass, Gazette has the fol-
lowing to say:
Crowds are being turned off daily
at the Worcester theatre where the big
preparedness against war film specta-
Gle, The Battle Cry of Peace, is being
exhibited twice daily for the entire
week. This remarkable feature is
causing no end of talk and promises
to break all records SO far as attend
ance goes for motion picture attrac-
ton in Worcester. Just as big and
wonderfully done as The Birth Of a
Nation, The Battle Cry of Peace offers
theme more inspiring and a story
more dramatically interesting. 1t
tells the story of what must happen
should foreign foe descend upon the
shores Of this great country. 1t
points out the result of a policy Of too
great an attention to peace and too
little effort to provide the necessary
protective means to maintain it. The
Battle Cry OF Peace should be seen by
every man and woman in America.
The Battle Cry Of Peace, with its
accompanying picture lecture by Hud-
son Maxim, showing the deplorable
facts regarding national defense, pre-
sents a wonderful study. In addition
to its worth as a means of instruction
in patriotic duty, The Battle Cry of
Peace carries a wonderfully enthral-
ling story. War and strife are the
commanding features Of the plot
Among the many remarkable scenes
are those depicting the attack of the
forts outside New York city, the ad-
vance into New York and the destruc-
ton of the city and the final conquest
of the country.
! The Battle Cry of Peace presents a
story that is thrilling in it's nature and
inspiring in its theme. 1t is a feature
that appeals to every red blooded man
and woman in the country. 1t tells
as has never been told before the cold
facts of national preparation against
possible warfare. 1t is to the future
of the United States as a whole what
The Birth of a Nation was in vindica
ton of the south. To see the Battle
I Cry of Peace is both a privilege and
a duty. Two performances will be
given each day at and SIS. All

Dope Fiend" Arrested Charged
With Stealing Morphine.

Tuesday Of last week a young
man who gave his name as God
dard arrived in the city and at
once proceeded to the sheriff s
office where he told Sheriff John
son that he was "dope fiend"
and that he wanted to be locked
up in the county Jail, where he
would be unable to get drugs, so
that he might be better able to
fight the habit and perhaps cure
himself. He told the usual
"dope" story, how he was the
son of wealthy parents, who sent
MIN abroad to be educated, that
while he was in Germany studying
medicine, an uncle in Australia,
or some where else, died and left
him a lot Of money, which he pro-
ceeded to spend having a good
time. He finally returned to
America, the victim of the drug
habit. He secured a position as
travelling salesman, but could not
hold it on account of the awful
drug habit, which he could not
get rid of. He had about $125,
which he gave to some stranger in
Ft. Scott, who worked some sort
of game on him.
Friday he was arrested, charged
with stealing morphine from the
United Drug Store and from the
Rhodes Pharmacy, and taken be-
fore B.. F.. Jeter, justice of the
peace, who sentenced him to thir-
ty days in the county jail where
DR.. Newton will treat him for the
drug habit. He had a pretty
smooth scheme to get behind the
prescription counter, .where the

advantage of every opportunity,

was an Indian, the center fielder
was from the land of the Kaiser,
the left fielder was a dark COM

morphine was kept. He watched
until Mr.. Travis, Of the United
Drug Company, was away from
the store and only one clerk was
on duty when he went in and
wanted to purchase a bandage of
some sort that he would
have to go behind the pre-
scription case to put on.
The bandage was not quite
what he wanted and he sent the
clerk to the front of the store for
another one and while he was
gone he helped himself to the
morphine which he had located.
He didn't buy the bandage.
While his story sounds exactly
like the old "dope fiend" story,
it is possible that it is true and he
may have sincere desire to be
rid of the awful habit and it is
hoped that his stay in Jail may
have a beneficial effect and that
he may be cured and made q USE

Logging Bates County for the
Blue Book.

Some time ago f. j. King, di-
rector Of the jefferson Highway
Tor Missouri was appointed by
the Blue Book publishing COM
pany of Chicago, to select the best
automobile route from Kansas
City to Joplin. Thursday, in COM
pany with. William M. Shirley, Of
the publishing company, he passed
through the county logging what,
in his opinion, was the best route.
They left Kansas City early in
the morning and arrived at
Adrian about noon, where they
were met by a delegation from
Butler
The route from Adrian to But
Ter as selected by Mr.. King, runs
south from Adrian to Passaic then
east one mile and then south to
Butler. The east route was the
one selected from Butler to Rich
Hill.
While this will be of consider
able Importance to Butler as most
of the automobile tourists follow
the route laid down in the Blue
Book, it has nothing to do with
the proposed jefferson Highway,
as Mr.. King was not acting in
his official capacity, but merely
as an agent of the Chicago pub
