APRIL MUSIC

BY Clinton Scollard.
The lyric sound Of laughter
Fills all the April hills
The joy-song of the crocus,
The mirth of daffodils.
They ring their golden changes
Through all the azure wales;
The sunny cowslips answer
Athwart the reedy swales.
Far down the woodland aisleways
The trillium's voice Is heard;
The little wRvering wind-fioWers
Join In with jocund word.
The white cry of the dogwcod
Mounts UP against the sky;
The breath of violet music
Upon the breeze goes by.
Give me to hear, o April.
These choristers of thine
Calling across tho distance
Serene and hyaline.
To clear my clouded vision
.Bedimmed and duiled 20 long.
And heal my aching spirit
With fragrance that Is song!

When we were in the car the next

Contributions to the
Campaign Funds

Campaign Funds
1HHE preliminary reports of tn,
q national campaign treasureers
filed with clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives Saturday, as required by
law, show that 1882 persons OF
firms had contributed total of
81 ,006,283 to the Wilson campaign and
22,226 firms or individuals had con-
tributed $1,607,757 to the Hughes
campaign fund.
Treasurer Wilbur w. Marsh of the
national democratic committee set out
to raise 100000 in small donations.
Such contributors have aggregated
less than 100000, but ''back dis
tricts" are still being heard from. The
largest democratic contributor was
Cleveland H. Dodge, Princeton class
mate of President Wilson. He first
sent his check of $4,000 and after
wards supplemented it with a check
for $4,000.
According to the republican treas
urer, Cornelius Bliss, Jr., the largest
items passing through his hands have
been in the $4,000 classroom indi-
viduals being credited each with that
amount.
The democrats not having the
"slush fund" habit will be able to
make out, it is said with 81 ,250, 900,
or about 100000 more than was
used in behalf of Wilson four years
ago. But the republicans can be de-
pended up to raise and spend this
week huge corruption fund "on the
side" which will never appear in the
official report.
Every democratic contributor may
have the satisfaction of knowing that
the money he gave, be it little or
much, was expended only for legiti-
mate purposes.

Various directors of large moving pic

OF producing a Shakespearean photo-play
for years." said B. H. Mooney of the
Mooney Advertising agency 1.-THE pro-
duction of Romeo and Juliet. which has
been the main attraction at the Trianon
for the past five days, proves conclu-
sively that the public is partial to the
masterpieces of the bard from the Avon.
Numerous men and women stood up
for two hours to witness this production.
When people will do this it is sure
sign that they are highly interested in
the picture being shown. Doubtless
other moving picture concerns will now
film some of the tragedies or comedies
of Shakespeare. The people Of today are
far better educated than they We're 20
years ago, and this causes the interest
in high-class productions of this nature"

Yellow Hosiery to

a SAN FRANCISCO dispatch
IN states that scientists have found
color to balk the festive mosquito.
Wear yellow and be immune from his
attacks. United States marines agree
with the scientists and say they are
not troubled by mosquitoes in the
Philippines because their khaki uni

Next summer it is expected that
socks and stockings of saffron hue
will be strictly de rigueur. Crowds at
summer resorts will resemble ami
mated sunflowers and a yellow streak

All shades of yellow, presumably,
are disliked by. the mosquito, but even
with this latitude allowed, there is apt
to be certain sameness in the hosiery

there are skeptics who hold that the

Missionary Study

The Federated Society met

the division plan of work for
the local missionary society.
Mrs. Scott gave most inter-
esting talk on "World Missions
and World Peace" Nine ques-
tions pertaining to the mission
airy work in different fields were
answered very interestingly.
Mrs. VonMosch told some of the
things a Junior said about the
needs of a Junior Society. Mrs.
Schurman then gave a study Of
the Child in the light of the
Master Teacher, Jesus and the
children. While listening to
these two excellent talks the
listeners were impressed of the
great need of training the chill
dren for the Masters work. A
piano solo was given by Miss
Grace Whitcomb. A poem en-
titled "My hands were FiEed,"
was given by Mrs. Sparks. The
closing song "Blest Be the Tie

THE STORES VOICE.

"The voice" of the store is
heard in it's advertising.
The advertisement carries
more than messages-more than
news of special offerings, Of
sales, of new commodities, of
store enterprise in securing de-
sirable stocks of goods under
favorable conditions.
It carries "the voice." the per-
sonality, of the store.
The spirit, the character, the
policies and practices of the
store as a service-institution
show, and are illumined, through
it's advertising.
To many this voice" is a IA
miliar one, carrying the new
message of an old friend. To
others always to some who read
this newspaper-it is a new
voice, making impression upon
them for the first time.
It wins either immediate con-
fidence, or immediate dislike.
When you hear a voice for the
first time, either over the phone
or in more intimate conversa-
ton, you form a lasting impress
SIGN of the temperament, char
acter and personality of the
talker. In some such measure
you also form an impression Of
a business through reading its
advertising. If the voice" is
hoastful, vague, arrogant, the
impression will last long and to
the disadvantage of the mer-
chant. If it inspires confidence,
if it has the ring of genuine
ness, of friendliness, it is, in
deed, "the voice that wins"

UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT
GIVEN AT PROGRESS CLUB.


To transport from Broadway the
air of cabaret and set it down in
the heart of Pensacola would seem
an impossible feat, but one which the
Progress club accomplished last night
when it opened its doors to its guests
assembled there to enjoy the evening.
Possibly the frequenters of the PAL
aces along the White Way would new
er have noticed the difference had
they been ushered into the ball room
of the club last night, so complete
was the transformation.
Around the spacious ball room were
set tables, filled with guests, and at
one end was a stage, drop curtain
and all, the whole was brilliantly
lighted and large palms dotted the
room.
The entire entertainment was under
the direction of a committee composed
of Drs. Ginsberg and Lischkoff, and
Mr.. John Frenkle. During the dances
Douglas orchestra furnished the mu-
sic, but the accompaniment to the
songs was by Miss Culbertson, of
Atlanta.
The following unusual program was
rendered:
Al Holsen Frenkle, song.
Anna Chambers Berlin, song and
dance.
Litchie and Dannie, violin duet.
Raga-Nation Friedman, song and
piano solo.
Miss Maude Powell Jacoby, song.
His name is Frenkle, Che talks),
Nora Bayes and Jack Norsworth
Frenkle, duet.
After each number on the program
the dinner guests danced, which add
ed further to the general scheme and
cabaret air.
