CARING FOR BILLS DOG

I've written and told him about things
being so much dearer. but he's man.
and doesn't understand. Besides it
seems such a shame for a man who 3
been through what he has to come back
and find his canaries sold But, as I've
said, if I could find someone that loved
birds, I'd sell the canaries.
The rabbit is useles, I know, but it's
little Billy's rabbit, and his father gave
it to him. 1t got out once and hid itself
under the rhubarb leaves, and little Billy
cried for hours till I found it. So, al
though it would make a meal-but not
for me!-Ill have to keep it.
What would I say when I was asked
'Muvver where's my bunny?" Folks
without children don't understand things
like that. People who are really fond
of pets, whether it is fox terrier or a
white mouse, find it a hard wrench to
part with any of them.
But I will sell the fowls--except, per-
haps, Browny. That's the one that sits
down for the children to smooth ita
back.

BEWARE OF swINDLERs

From the Boston Herald.
In view of recent developments. 1t is
the duty of every citizen whose name
is worth anything in and to his COM
munity, not to permit it to be used for
floating or popularizing any movement
with which the owner Of the name Is not
acquainted, and concerning the
absolute honesty and usefulness Of which
he has the slightest doubt.
For years. in the large cities. pro-
fessional promoters have made spe-
cialty of enlisting the aid of prominent
men and women in behalf of undertake
ings which have as their chief purpose,
no matter what their titles may be. tho
enrichment of their promoters. Time and
again frauds have been exposed which
would never have had the slightest chance
of success had 1t not been for the good
nature of influential people who accepted
a prospectus as II it were a bond.
The war in Europe. and the sympathy
for the sufferers which naturally result
ed, brought to the front. Of course. a
whole flock Of professional shysters who
have used the name of charity for their
own purposes. Because of that fact no
one should stint his giving to wort'<,
causes, at home or abroad, but not one
dollar should be given in the name OF
charity without absolute proof that the
name is not being used to cloak q swim
die.

THE SOUTH is COMING BACK

From Leslies.
Splendid! The south is coming into its
own at last. For the first time, the
comptroller's report at Washington shows
that the percentage of increase OF pank
depositors in the southern states is the
largest in the country. This evidences
the remarkable growth and progress, in
drstrially and in every other way OF the
southern states. The rapid increase In
the number of banks in the south is
surprise to the financial circles of the
east and west Banks mean business and
business means prosperity.
The south is no longer confined to Its
AGRICULTURAL development Its enormous
supplies of raw materials are giving II
a commanding position industrially. Ul-
timately the south will join the industrial
east and west in demanding protection
for its factory output. With the growth
of the banking business in the south and
the large increase in the number OF bank
depositors, there is marked abatement OF
the outcry against bankers as money
sharks and 'shylocks." In no other
matter the south is proving its wisdom
and sagacity in attracting capital. Flor
ida is inviting a large influx of substan-
tiaI citizens from every part of the coun-
try because it does not levy an oppres-
sive inheritance tax.
New York could take a lesson from
Florida, The tendency Of legislation In
the Empire State even up to last winter
was to add to the burden of taxes on both
the living and the dead, and it did not
reflect credit on the republican party,
which was in control.

THE FIRST sUPERwoMAN
From the Chicago Herald.

iOil lu6 OIICdSo f1eTdlQ.
Comes the diverting midsummer an
nouncement that Georgia beauty, Amer
icas first superwoman, has been enrolled
on eugenics registry, there to await
in mathematical contentment the discov-
cry of the appropriate superman. The
news is amusing, if not important, indi-
eating prettily the limitless sweep of hot
weather science.
The precise claims of the superwoman
of the south-who appears to have been
inoculated with her eugenic Intentions
at a Michigan health resort-to become
the mother of a new and better race are
not mentioned. Only the vague and easy
generalization of the summer scientist is
vouchsafed that neither beautiful bone
heads nor high brows on puny bodies will
prove acceptable. Other details are left
to the eugenic imagination.
1t is sad that so important an under
taking should be thus handicapped The
unscientific, uneugenic world Is all a.
tremble to learn the exact specifications
for this superrace. Will there be just
one eugenic breed or will there be many?
Will one group insist on Percheron char
acteristics while another boosts the SUI
periority of the lean racer? Or will there
be a compromise, something in human
kind akin to the Morgan horse?
The possibilities are endless. 1t is
easier to breed for legs and necks of the
proportions than for horse sense" but
there is no need Of bondage to an equine
tradition. The superfolk might emulate
the herders and try to eliminate black
sheep or they might take tip from pig
culture and establish the correct stand
ards of obesity. Altogether the prospect
is vastly beguiling.

THE CLIMBING CRICKET

BY Madison Cawein.
The summer hears you where she swings
Among her poppy-pods and dreams,
While overhead the redbird sings,
The bluejay screams.
She hears you by the garden fence,
A twilight sound. that takes the sense
With drowsy Incidence.
Deep in the meditating wood,
Where August sits with sultry eyes,
Thinking of leaves and solitude.
{ And lazy skies,
One listens, searching grass and ground
For your cool crystals of green sound,
That glints around and round.
And on the hills, when sunset CLOVIS,
Red as the rose that tints shell
OF azure pearl, your music grows
A faery spell; s
And at its sound Day lays her down
To rest In gold and russell gown,
Crowned with her starry crown.
And lying there, as in dream,
Hearing your flute-note, at glance
She seems to see. where moonbeana
CLEAN,
The elflns dance:
And, searching nearer, 10, she sees
Your airy wings at vibrant ease
Among the weeds and trees.
And on a finger-tip of dew
She lifts you, singing, to the moon:
And. ghosts of magic, Boyhood knew.
To your frail tune.
Rise from their graves. like mists, and
stand
Around YOU. hand in tiny hand.

DEBTS OF HONOR

from the Providence Journal.
II the American refugees who still owe
the government. in the aggregate, $500, 900
OF the sum appropriated by Congress for
the purpose of helping them to get out Of
Europe two years ago should be prose-
cuted they will not become objects of
sympathy. The popular impression is that
people who had money enough to go to
Europe in 1914 expected, under normal
conditions, to nave no trouble in buying
return tickets. When war was suddenly
declared, many were caught without cash
resources, and the government went to
their relief with the understanding that
the money would be repaid.
The majority of the Americans thus as
sisted-70 per cent-have now discharged
their obligations. The remaining 30 per
cent, presumably, have not even taken
the trouble to thank the government for
bringing them home, and naturally the
treasury officials are inclined to press the
claims. Suits against the delinquents are
under consideration, and In the absence
of proof that the war refugees are bank
rupts the government cannot in fairness,
be criticized for taking summary action.
These loans were made without security
in the confidence that they would be re-
garded as debts of honor Reputation
suggests that some of the Americans in
distress were hardly worthy of the atten-
ton of their government

HOTEL LOBBIES
Value of Soil Moisture

Because of it's large leaf surface, corn
is heavy consumer of moisture. The
corn plant draws from 300 to 400 pounds
OF moisture from the soil for every
pound OF dry matter it produces" said
D. 8 Metcalf of Iowa, a great corn state.
Ihe exact amount of water the corn
plant will require depends upon climate
ana soil conditions. More moisture is
acquired per pound of organic matter
produced by corn in dry than wet
year; but the amount is always relatively
large.
"A 5o-bushel crop requires, for fodder
and grain, from 1000 to 1900 tons of water
per acre to reach maturity This amount
would cover the surface of the ground 10
depth of from eight to IL inches Usu-
ally it would be folly to expect this
amount OF water to fall during the corn
growing season; so there must be sur
plus in the soil for the crop to draw
upon"

From Answers. .t.
This letter from a soldiers wife Is on
the pet problem" which has become
an issue in England now. Many SOL
diers' wives need the small sums 1t
takes to keep dog or cat for them
selves and their children. Those who do
not care for sentiment and think only of
utility want such pets killed. But sem
timent cannot be eliminated from life,
especially when it is allied to the most
touching self-sacrifice.
IF food had remained at its old prices
1 should have been happy. and could
Il have managed on my separation al
lowance and something that bothers me
greatly now would not have troubled me
at all. I mean about the dog and the
cat. and the kitten. and the canaries, and
the fowls, and my little boys rabbit.
am SO economical now that there is
not enough pieces for the dog. SO have
to buy dog biscuits. The cat and the
kitten have a little milk-not quite
pennyworth a day. but that's nearly u
cents a week. And Il cents is p cents
now!
The seed for the canaries cost few
pence; the rabbit wants bran and oats,
and the fowls, although new laid eggs
are now more than 4 cents each. do not
pay, as I have to buy their food In small
quantities and there are no scraps to
help.
It's very easy to say, as some friends
have told me- that if I cannot afford to
keep all these pets ought to kill them,
or sell them. ! can't afford it! I see
that the children don't suffer, but I go
short myself in many ways. I'm not
good at figures, but I'm sure it's quite
10 shillings (s2.4o) month that I lose
over what one woman called by 'menag-
cries"
And yet can't make UP my mind to
get rid Of any of them! The dog! I
can't part with Spot. because he's my
husbands dog. and in every letter Bill
asks "How's old Spot?' Bill-that's
my husband-would just about murder
anybody who hurt his dog. must keep
Spot.
When the children are in bed and
everything Is quiet and begin to think
and think, and worry, I'd go mad II it
wasn't for the dog sitting there with his
head in my lap looking UP at me just
as If he wanted to say Cheer up!" It's
the nights dread. and II it wasn't for
the dog don't know what I'd do.
Then there's the cat! The place
would be overrun with mice II it wasn't
here. and I haven't got the heart to have
ia poisoned
And then there's the baby. She plays
with the kitten SO nicely; and II go
without milk therell be enough for the
kitten.
The canaries? Well. sometimes
think will sell them. although I'd miss
them dreadful. And wonder. If ] did
sell them. If they would be looked after
properly, or just left anyhow. II
could find someone who just loved birds
J I'd sell the canaries. But then don't
know what Bill would sayl

ALABAMA PRESS

Mobile Register: 1t is a high honol
bestowed upon an Alab AMMAN, Mr.. w. p
G. Harding, appointed Thursday by the
President to be governor of the federal
reserve board. The position is one OF
great Importance and calls for positive
action, In harmony with the steadily
growing needs of the country. Mr.. Hard
ing is one of the younger men, but with
wise head. We are glad to witness his
promotion, and wish for his management
every possible success.
Montgomery Advertiser: The very es-
teemed New York World nominally is
committed to the doctrine of State s
rights. but wavers on the issue of fed
eral regulation of child labor. This is a
very big country, much bigger than Eng
land or Germany or France or Switzer-
land, where government is rigidly central
lied. Our country is so very large in fact,
its interests and needs so diverse. that
it is not practicable to have our gov
eminent administered from one central
authority; but in late years this fact has
had no standing in the thought of many
editors and statesmen.
Decatur Daily: A congressional candi-
date who admitted he was displeased with
President Wilson'S attitude toward Ger
many, who said time and again he was a
follower of Bryan's doctrine of peace at
any price, and who on the stump said
the President acted wrongly In his course
or the Lusitania and other international
outrages SO we'll known, and who was
against preparedness. was able to poll
only PSI votes in Tennessee last week out
of a total of 1923 votes cast!
Think of that as test Of the Presi-
dents strength!
The candidates name is George Diemer
OF Fayetteville, Tenn, who made the
race for Congress against Judge Ewin l..
Davis of Tullahoma and Congressman
W. C. Houston, the incumbent in the
Fifth Tennessee district.
Diemer got just PSI votes on this plat
form-and many of these came as compli-
nentary ballots from his home town
while Davis polled s114 and Houston got
1868.
