q gift from the pie and sat down
on the floor in circle and opened
the packages and in every one was a
limerick appropriate to the occasion.
The girls read these and piled the
gifts in Miss Warwick's lap. At half
past six the young men came for sup
per which was served on the porch
overlooking the river. The arches of
the porch were hung with baskets
filled with pink flowers and pink
flowers also formed the table center
piece. In every course of the supper
the pink color appeared. The evening
was spent in singing college songs
and in dancing. The young people en-
joyed every minute of the evening.

BRITISH ORDER OF MERIT
Famous Organization With Which the Late Henry James Had the Honor
 os Being Affiliated.

The Order of Merit carries with it no special title or order of precedence, so that MT. Henry James, in accepting that honor, was not embarrassed in any courtly trappings. In one respect the most democratic order, it is in others the most exclusive not only in England but perhaps in the whole world. The Order of the Thistle and the Order of St. Patrick have fewer members on their rolls, it is true, though the companionship of the Or der of Merit has at times been smaller than either of them. King Edwards s order Is limited to 24, but it has never yet been filled. and with the addition of MT. Henry James numbered IS. One woman has been admitted to the illus trious company-Miss Florence Night lngale-and there are three honorary members. who were appointed as a compliment to Japan.-London Chron- icle.

Folk dancing by pupils of the Little Rock, England and Newport schools attracted favor able attention from the audience. Addresses by Dr. w. L.

Hire Woman Detectives.

A woman detective has received an appointment from the Bristol authori- ties. There is nothing amateurish about the Bristol appointment The new officer has received special train. ing in police work. and although her duties will chiefly concern women and children her services will be utilized in solving all classes of crime and mystery. Women" an authority ex- plained, "are particularly adapted for work which comes outside the scope of the ordinary detective. but unfor- tunately 1t Is sometimes unsafe to trust woman with an important in- vestigation where young men are con- cerned. They are swayed by emotion. They cant help 1t; 1t is their nature. and they have been known to fall in love with the man they have been set to watch"

 The most important action of the convention was the decision to make an active campaign for the 12-mill school tax amendment to be voted upon at the general election next No. vember. under the initiative and ref. erendum act. The amendment would make it possible for school districts to vote a 12-mill tax for educational purposes, if they desire, instead of the present seven-mill tax. Dr. Brough in his address said that he would campaign the state fin behalf of the amendment if he were asked. The committee appointed to have charge of the campaign. at a meeting immediately following ad journment of the session. accepted his offer. The association appropriated S1,000 of it's funds for use in the campaign and authorized the commit. tee to solicit other funds

Kidney Medicine That
 Stands the Highest

Some twelve years ago I began handling Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root, and we have heard nothing but praise for it as it seems to give entire satisfaction in every instance. From the manner in which customers speak of your remedy, we have learned to place sufficient confidence in it to recommend Swamp Root above all other kidney reme dies. From the demand I judge it to be the most generally used kidney medicine in this country, and reports regarding it are always favorable.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1919
WHEN THE WAR ENDS.

One Of the most taking arguments
made during the recent campaign
against continuation Of the present
administration was that peace in Con.
tinentsl Europe will be established
lover night" some time soon and then
il will be possible under our existing
tariff to flood this country with foreign
good and thus turn our war prosperity
into general ruin. While all Of this
sounds dreadful, sound reflection leads
one TO see in it the politicians dream
rather than the statesman's judgment.
The rapidly approaching peace seems
TO be slow in arriving, and the most
thoughtful citizens see probable con-
tinuation Of the war for at least two
years Be this as 1t may, when peace
does happily come our commerce in
munitions of war (which constitute only
small proportion of our present ex-
ports) will be cut short, but how about
the rest2 The demand for food stuff
will under the most favorable circum-
stances continue tense for some time to
come, because the products Of nature
take their own good time In maturing.
and certainly people, many of whose
best men are dead and many more are
cripples, will be in no condition to hasten
abundant harvests from their blood
drencbed fields.
That an unprecedented food of pro-
ducts from European factories can be
poured into our country for any length
of time is equally paradoxical. Not only
will decimated populace, many Of
whom are MANNED and crippled In health,
be unable to do ordinarily good work, but
the loss of countless millions Of capital
now pouring into this country will so
cripple their resources that nothing less
than the healing balm Of time will en-
able even the most productive people
10 resume their former position as
producers.
This would seem easy to illustrate:
After our own war between the states,
does anyone pretend TO say that even II
the people Of the South had. been en-
dowed with oil the thrifty energy of the
Germans they could in a season or
even decade have restored conditions
existing there before the war2 1t Is
the record of history that not until u
new generation become the producers
can the old time energy Of the sire be
seen in the son, and even then crippled
fortunes will greatly impede progress.
In the mean time our Tariff Commits.
sion. now become an actual fact instead
OF an illusory dream, will be in posi-
ton to give Congress actual facts from
experts instead of theories from inter
ested manufacturers, and thus It will
be practicable to modify any existing
tariff schedules which experience may
have proved unwise.
