A Persian Bridge Story.

There are few rivers in Persia, and
not many Of these are bridged. Years
ago a wealthy woman built bridge
over a stream near the capital city,
and then, thinking that this should
have been done by the shah, she pro-
nounced a curse upon any king who
should ever cross the bridge. 1t Is said
that no Persian ruler has ever had the
hardihood to venture upon it, and 1t Is
said there is not money enough in the
kingdom to hire one to do SOLOS An

Want GARDENS
FOR THE BOYS
Tuesday Club Of This City Is Back
Of Movement to Teach Boys
Gardening.

The Tuesday Club, one of the
real live women's organizations of
this city, has made arrangements to
have an expert come to this city
from the Experimental Station at
Lexington and give instructions as
to laying out, planting and tending
garden, the seed for which and
the necessary tools, ETC., to be fur
nished by the Club. The young
boys Of the city will be marshalled
together for the work which is sure
TO prove interesting and instructive.
Prizes will be offered for the best
garden and those in charge of the
movement would be pleased to have
anyone that has a plot of ground
or vacant building lot that is not in
use to allow same to be used for
the above named purpose. Prob
ably there is no better way to bring
out ideas on the development and
possibilities of backyard gardens
than by this plan which will be un-
der the direct supervision of an ex-
pert. The great waste through the
unused yards of a community is APP
palling, however the people of this
country are beginning to husband
natures resources, but aside from
the cash value of a garden there are
other returns the value of which
cannot be estimated. 1t gives occu-
patton and tends to create a con-
tented mind. 1t keeps the boys
close to the heart of nature and
teaches them the basic principles of
life and the love of Mother Earth.
Then, too, there is health and exer-
else value in a garden and the Of
fering of prizes will stimulate in
terest and cause the boys to do
their best. If you have a lot of
any kind that you would be willing
to allow the ladies to use this year
please telephone Mrs. W. p. Old
ham or Mrs. ]. E. Lindsay.

American Enthusiasm is Aroused By
President Wilson's Stirring Speech

leans Who Forget Party Lines in the Sup
port Of Our Great Government.
FLAGS WAVED BY CHEERING MULTITUDE
Army of 100000 Men to Be Raised and
Navy Fully Equipped.

President Wilson Monday night
urged Congress, assembled in joint
session, to declare a state of war
existing between the United States
and Germany.
In dispassionate, but unmeas-
ured denunciation of the course of
the Imperial German government,
which he characterized as a chal-
lenge to all mankind and warfare
against all nations, the President
declared that neutrality no longer
was feasible or desirable where the
peace of the world was involved;
that armed neutrality had become
Intellectual enough at best and was
likely to produce what it was meant
to prevent and urged that Congress-
accept the gage of battle with all
the resources of the nation.
"T advise that the Congress de-
clare the recent course of the Inn
perial German government to be in
fact nothing less than war against
the government and people of the
United States" said the President;
"that it formally accept the status
of belligerent which has thus been
thrust upon it and that it take
steps not only to put the country in
more thorough state of defense
but also to exert all its powers and
employ all its resources to bring
the government of the German en-
pire to terms and end the war"
Resolutions Introduced
When the President had finished
speaking, resolutions to declare
state of war existing were intro
duced in both Houses of Congress,
referred to appropriate committees.
The object of the United States
in entering the war, the President
said, was to vindicate the principles
of peace and justice against "sel-
fish and autocratic powers"
Without selfish aim for conquest
or dominion, seeking no indemnities
or material compensation for the
sacrifice it shall make the United
States must enter the war, the
President said, to make the world
safe for democracy, as only one of
the champions of the rights of

Germany Foe to Liberty

wi many W ~ IuOtRy
To carry on an effective warfare
against the German government,
which he characterized as "nat-
ural foe to liberty" the President
recommended:
Utmost practical cooperation in
counsel and action with the govern
ments already at war with Germany.
Extension of liberal financial
credits TO those governments so that
the resources of America may be
added so far as possible to theirs.
Organization and mobilization of
all the material resources of the
country.
Full equipment of the navy, par
ticularly for means of dealing with
submarine warfare.
An army Of at least 100000 men,,
based on the principle of universal
liability to service, and the authori-
cation Of additional increments of
100000 each as they are needed or
can be handled in training.
Raising necessary money for the
United States government, so far as
possible without borrowing and on
the basis of equitable taxation.
All preparations, the President
urged, should be made in such ways
as not to check the flow of war
supplies to the nations already in
the field against Germany.
Measures to Be introduced
Measures to accomplish all these
ends, the President told Congress-
