Said a bright little leaf to the
 tree one day, Dear mother, I fear I must fly far
 away, Jack Frost came last night and
 told us all, That We surely must come to his
 autumn ball. He will furnish the costumes of
 red and of gold, And the wind is our carriage, I've
 been told" Goodbye, Little Leaf, you will
 have to go; Jack Eros told me of it a long time
 ago." | Just then a young breeze came a.
 frolicing by. And the old Mother Tree with the
 ghost of a sigh, Watched the Little Lean TIuttertng
 far, far away. And the Wind as he passed her
 heard her say, "And now I must sleeg thru the frosf and the snow,

BILLY'S FUN

Billy came home from school one day with an idea in his head. He had beeen thinking of an old clock his grandmother had and whtch she pri2ed very much because her moth ger had given it to her. When Billy came in she told him she was go- iGg to run out and feed the baby chickens. While she was out he thought he would have a good chance to take the clock to pieces and find cut what was inside of 1t. He took it down and had all the little screws and the face or the clock out when his grandmother came in. She stood astonished and mortified when she saw what Billy was doing. Billy heard her and turned around, Billy! Billy! Oh, what are you doing?"
 Ohl I just wanted to see what was inside of that funny old clock.

GLAss ON lie BEACHES

GLASS ON THE BEACHES.-For
the past two weeks I have spent
most of my time out at the beaches,
and not one day has passed that
some one has not been cut by glass
from bottles allowed to be taken to
the shore and which when empty are
thrown on the beach and broken. A
lot of people are afraid of this and
watch for it, but it does no good, as
the broken glass is buried in the
sand.
Isn't there a law to have this
stopped Can't the owners of these
concessions be compelled to serve
drinks in paper cups? 1 think it
would be better for them, as they
may make more profit by returning
more empties.
Now what do you say, if we want
a drink, let's walk up to the conces-
sion, finish the bottle there and we

The beIligerents are, after two
years fight, so strong that if they

Lasting peace! What beautiful
promise. But there will be no such
thing as long as the higher finance
rules the world, for war in all it's hell,
in all its misery, is a mOney-making
business for some of the higher
financiers.
The struggle may be permanent.
Why not? 1t has continued so long
that the world is used to it. We can
be accustomed to a permanent war
in this great wide world just as we
are accustomed to have pOorhQuses,
prisons, slUms, etc.
When the worlds workers are
taken into consideration before de-
claring war instead of the higher
finance, there will be lasting peace

WHITE CREST FLOUR Ey-
HIBITED HOOKS PHARMACY

An exhibition of white Crest" flour
ana demonstration of it's many and
varied uses in the making of good
things to eat is going on today at
Hooks Pharmacy.
The exhibition is in charge of Mrs.
d. Fisher and Mrs. Prickett, of Leav-
enworth, Kas The purpose of this ex-
hibition and demonstration is to ex-
plain, or rather explode the idea that
some ladies have that white -four is
void of some element of nutrition, and
to show to the contrary, by actual
demonstration, that white -four and
more particularly white Crest" is the
peer of all other kinds. Mrs. Fisher is
anxious to explain to the ladies of
Americus why this is so, and to this
end she invites them to come out, see,
hear and taste the variety of dainty
eatables prepared from white Chest
-four.
1t was originally intended to hold
this exhibition for only two days, to-
Gay and tomorrow; by special request,
however, it has been decided to remain
for an entire week. Therefore, If you
have not already seen the exhibition
you should avail yourself of the OF
rortunity while it is yours. Lovely
decorated tables, mL5ic and flowers
abound and o hearty welcome awaits
the ladies of Americas to come and
enjoy, as we'll as receive benefits and
instruction from the occasion. ]. q.
F'itchugh, general sales manager for
the mill manufacturing white Crest
-four, is in the city, and will be pres
emit for short time at these exhibit
items.
Remember, the ladies of Americas
are cordially invited to see this exhi-
bition.

EARLY PEACHES GOING To
WEST INSTEAD OF NORTH

ATLANTA, Ca, June 22--It is pc
culiarly interesting fact that accord.
ing to the records Of the Georgia Fruit
exchange an extraordinarily large pro-
PORTION of Georgias early peach crop
is going to the western markets, in
stead Of to New York and other east
ern points. This is indicative of an
increased demand in the western ter
ritory, which may have important bear
ing on the market.
Another very gratifying feature Of
the peach situation to Georgia growers
this year is the fact that practically all
CT the fruit to date has been sold on
an f. O. b basis, which means that cash
money is turned over to the grower be-
fore the car leaves the state. These
cash sales have been extraordinarily
large this year, more so than usual
with the early fruit.
There had been shipped from GeOr-
gia up to Saturday, June IL, total Of
IS cars, while the estimate of the
week through Saturday, June "a, is
125 cars. The Fruit exchange seesgnc
reason to make any change in its orig
inal estimate of 5000 to $500 cars as
the total OF the Georgia crop.

All the way around the lake she

Won Papen Bobs Up in Holland.

AMSTERDAM, June 22.--Capt. Franz
Won Papen, recalled at the request Of
the United States government as mill
tary attache of the German embassy az
Washington, and who has come. to Hoi-
land on secret mission, has a purpose
which is three-fold, according to the
Amsterdam TELEGRAPH This newspa-
per does not mention Capt. Won Papen
Icy name, but alludes to him as "first
class specialist who only recently ar
rived here after covering himself with
worldwide fame in the exercise Of
functions in another neutral country"
The TELEGRAPH says that the special
list" has come here, first, to obtain in
formation of military and political ma
ture; second, to watch foreigners re-
siding in Holland or visiting in this
country; and, third, to endeayor to in
fluence public opinion in favor of Ger
many.
The German secret information ser
vice" in Holland is being reorganized,
the TELEGRAPH asserts, the efforts of the
specialist" along this line being the
centralizing of diverse and scattered
elements of the Teutonic espionage
service in this country. He has estab-
Iished the Central Protective service
at The Hague and progress has been
made with the organization of the SER
vice at Rotterdam, according to the
newspaper, which declares that similar
efforts at Amsterdam have, been little
backward
In the Rotterdam branch of the ser
vice, the TELEGRAPH says, 142 men AMI
e. women have been enrolled, recruited
principally among walters, porters and
other hotel and cafe, employees.
