Among the last lines in the memoir
of the volume are the following words
by the author:
"He lived to be eighty-five years OF
age, always active, though never ro-
bust, always a delightful companion,
but the latter years embittered by his
exaggerated sense Of authority over
his wife and grown-up children. AS
he had always claimed that good
despotism is the best government,
he, full of love for his family, was
grieved and angered that they could
not remain his loving slaves. He
died March 21, 1902, and is buried
among his loved pine trees by the
chapel that he builded and of which
he wrote the wish:
May my moldering ashes lie
Blest and near thee though unheed
ing
Song of Vespers,
Or the Kyrie Eleison's
Plaintive cry!
And 80 the George of Beauty" holds
his memory in it's keeping green and
fragrant as the pines"
The volume contains ESQ pages and
is valuable addition to the literature
from Durward pens.

In Milwaukee the saloons may be

City Gardening

The high cost OF all products has
caused extensive movements in many
cities to raise gardens. Every vacant
lot Is to be plowed up and planted.
People OF all kinds Of occupations are
renting lots and preparing to raise
vegetables. There are plenty of lots
in Miller to be had at moderate price.
But perhaps 1t may be wise to recall
the advice OF a pioneer barber to his
wife when she informed him that she
was going to have their yard plowed
up for garden: Nov wife, don't pillow
up any more than you can tend hand

3Bfrth or A Nation" April seth

When David w. Grifith started the
outdoor staging Of the Civil War and
Reconstruction scenes in "The Birth
or A Nation" which will be shown
at the Miller Opera House. April 2sth,
he was confronted with seemingly in
'superable dificplties. An area Of pri-
yate war was required about as large
as tn corner Of Belgium occupied by
the Anglo-French forces. Thousands
Of cavalrymen had to be shown, in an
historic raid of the North Carolina
clans. Their run was to be many,
many miles Of typical Southern sandy
roads, Though an acknowledged

within this area. the county commits
sioners posted notices forbidding all

Pedestrians were also warned on.
But the roads themselves did not look

RED CROSS GROWING

The social calendar for the week has not been fraught with many events. We are still little dubious of food bills and while a cup of tea would make break in our every day life, we are all waiting to be of real service when the Red Cross will de- mand our time. The women so far are proud of the showing of member ship in the Red Cross work but are still anxious to enlist more.
 A house-to-house canvass will be inaugurated and those who can join will be enlisted. Just now they are marching in the patriotic parades and gardening and saving at home; buy ing liberty bonds is another way they are helping to solve the problem of war. The interest and self denial of the women in this time of strees is going to solve the question of the ballot for now they will be entitled to it, not as favor but as a matter of right. We are not worried in Arizona but it is matter of vital importance in other states.

sides, which is also pleated, tends to break any suggestion of monotony.
 Apart from the use of lace and net in making entire dresses, in small proportions we find them used either together or independently in many costumes. Large jabots of net or lace with high collars are worn with tail ored suits, the jabot spreading itself over the front of the coat and tighten ing up the dark suits.
 The Cape-Coat
 A very popular wrap for summer is the cape-coat, some varieties of which are made without back or sleeves. The cape is usually the same length as the coat though sometimes it is longer. These capes are seen everywhert and the inevitable navy blue serge or gabardine is usually the material chosen for them. It is in the lining that there is a chance for vari- ety. Some of the capes are lined with white or cream cloth, and others with silk of the same color as the ,ape or a brightly contrasting shade.

A SHORT LAMB CROP

Now that facts are becoming known, it is evident that the 1917 lamb crop is the shortest the country has had in many years. Contracting of the new crop has practically ceased, growers being as we'll posted on the value of their property as the speculator. Early deals around and under s10 will be highly remunerative.
 The lamb market has had a sharp break recently. It was seasonal and logical, but obviously cannot go far. Feeding lambs will be high for the reason that there will not be enough to go around, and everybody will want them. Packers will cut deep, taking half-fat stock that under ordinary conditions would go to the feeder without competition. Wool is high and nothing vended in the sheep house can possibly be cheap.-Live Stock World.

Navy-blue foulard with the large white polka dots which has been so much in evidence since the spring is very frequently employed for the lin- ings and collars. The collars are large in most cases. In some models they are gathered in front and are very pretty in soft, striped or plaid silk In satin or heavy silk poplin these wraps are ideal for summer use.
 A great number of military capes and coats, which may be taken as a sign of the times, are also to be noted at present. Gold buttons and braid, and high collars buttoned straight up to the neck are some of the indica- tions of the military strain.

CHILDREN'S DAY

Did you attend the Children's Day service at the Federated church last Sunday morning?
 The day out of all the year set aside for the little tots is pretty custom. The children of the Sunday school need your interest and those having the program in charge felt we'll repaid for their week in training the children and the children respond ed to your interest by doing their best.
 It was a patriotic service as the times demanded and all-in-all we would give a glorious tribute of praise to the Primary Department. Send the children next Sunday and boost the Sunday School.

FEDERATED CHURCH

Last Sunday evening Rev. o. S. Baum preached on "Why Should Men go to Church." Perhaps the strongest point made was the fact that Christ, though in daily communication with his Heavenly Father, yet was found daily in the temple. How much more do you need to be found there, oh ye of little faith Let it be said in favor of the young men that there was 9 high percentage of them out and it is a safe conclusion at which to arrive, that there will be more out next Sun day. It will be worth your while to go next Sunday and hear Rev. Baum discuss two great themes. In the morning at II a. m. Growth" ''Have you grown any since?" In the even ing 8 p. m.

GREETING TO FRANCE

Joseph Jacques Joffre,
 Marshal of France,
 Hero, Ally and Friend.
 We Greet you, and in this country where Lafayette and Washington clasped hands, we stand as friends united once again with hand out stretched to welcome from across the sea the spirit of that other land that is fighting and bleeding that it might live.
 It is you that brings this spirit to us and we are glad because we know that no stacker comes but instead a soldier who has done his bit within the vale where shadows turk and mark the place past which there is no coming back.
 And so it is that when you hear our cheers you will know that it is you as well as France, and France will know for back there in that land they will hear the echo of our cheers and they will know that you will come back as Herald of a new born host and the drums will sound, the bands will play Dixie" to beat out the time for soldiers tread and the Stars and Stripes will signal up and down the line that seas cannot break nor dis tance strain the bond that Liberty has wrought between us. And may the God that watches you be kind and spare you till the day is won.

used for summer frocks. Cream, ecru and white laces and nets are received with equal enthusiasm. Over pale colored slips of China silk or over the same net, these dresses are most fas- cinating. Very pale pink is partic- ularly charming under cream or ecru, which is one of the combinations most frequently seen.
 The all-white net dresses trinne with batiste embroidery are also very delightful, but this is only one of the many combinations used. There are many frocks of net in which em. broidered organdy plays an important part. Some of these are made in ap- ron effect with embroidered organdy forming the long apron which some- timts extends considerably below the knees. The apron style is now very much in vogue and is decidedly at tractive in laces and sheer materials. In some of it's variations, it is more like long, loose panel than an apron.
 Georgette crepe of another material which combines very successfully with net. In many of these sheer frocks, ribbons of any color the wearer may fancy are arranged on the foundation to add touch of bright color to the costume. In other models, the color note is supplied by embroidery, usual ly in the softest colors to carry out the delicate beauty of these dresses.
 The Indefinite Waistline
 The tendency to do away with thoroughly defined waistline is still prominent in the new styles, and this feature persists while the texture of the dresses is being changed from the heavier materials of spring to the sheer cottons and nets of summer. The long, unbroken lines that women have found so becoming are noticed in the dress of net trimmed with filet lace shown in, the sketch.
 The tunic again holds sway. But the present tunic differs somewhat from those of former days. The new dresses in tunic effect hang straight | from the shoulders. The foundation | over which a tunic dress is worn, gen. orally has pleated of gathered sec tion extending below the tunic. In the case of the model illustrated, pleats accentuate the straight lines, while the upstanding heading at the

FISHING PARTIES

Motor parties are much in order now. Lake Mary is the favorite resort for Sunday sociability. This is as it should be for it is the day on which the greater portion of mankind has the time for relaxation. Fishing is the favorite pastime and the usual picnic lunch among the pines and spruce adds the final touch to the day. Sunday found numerous parties there.
