ON SPUR re III MOMENT
A Little Slice o. Life.
By MORRIS MILLER.

A Little Slice o. Life.
Who has cleaned up a neat bit of money
By selling umbrellas down at Long Beach,
Where fair bathers are numerous.
When a rain cloud the size of
A mans hand appears Eli
Appears also with choice line of
Thirty five cent umbrellas which he retails
At two dollars a throw,
To whom does he sell them?
To the fat old dowagers and
Tired business men?
Guess again.
He sells them to the sweet young things
Who loll upon the beach in
Perfectly lovely bathing quits and
Panicstricken when rain cloud appears.
Eli has saved many a bathing suit
And many a dollar
How about the old-fashioned sweet
hearts who made up their minds they
would live on love and kisses? Like
everything else, love has gone up and
a Maryland court placed a valuation
of $4,000 on one lone kiss the other
day We don't believe any kiss in the
world is worth it
The uku1eIe fever has just struck
Beloit, Wis. Beloit showed good sense
in putting it off as lopg as possible.
We are waiting for the craze to
strike Boston, as it will sooner or later.
A parson in Brooklyn says there is
no hell
Cantor, where has business gone to?

war under direction of Grand Duke
Nicholas, when the car suddenly or

head of the nation probably cost Rus
STA and her allies millions of lives ana
billions of treasure. The Muscovite
army was in full swing for Berlin
when halted by the action of the en-
peror.

During July, 1917, we imported
goods to the value of $43O0O,0O
more end exported goods to the value
of ST. 100000 less than during July,
1915. This means an adverse change
of $104, 100000 comparing the bal
ances of trade for the two months.
Our entrance into the war and the
consequent larger demands in our
home market undoubtedly account in
large measure for the difference.

before most Washingtonians are so
much as turning over for their pre-
getting-up nap. the president is out
in his knickerbockers and off around
the golf course. Mrs. Wilson usually
accompanies him. A couple of hours
later they may be seen rolling into
the White House grounds in one of
the big cars with the golden spread
eagles in a circle on the door panels.
Golf, walking and other mild forms
of exercise take care of the presi-
dents physical health. For mental
diversion and rest he turns from the
problems of war to intricate. complex
and quite thrilling detective stories.
He has cares and worries and bur-
dens galore. has the president, but

If you have pictured President
Wilson careworn, haggard and break

trait. It's way wrong.

opportunity for a good closeup Of
Woodrow Wilson in war mood.
Swinging out from Bakers room
and down the tiled corridor. the pres
ident had more the manner of a man
who had just concluded pleasant
chat with an old crony about nothing
in particular. than of a nations lead
er who had just discussed a vital
world problem whose solution he
must find.
Clad in snowy linen coat and trous-
ers, a flat-topped, broadbrimmed
straw hat set. squarely on his head,
the president moved at brisk pace
toward the stairway. There was
spring in his step. His smile was
genial, his cheeks rudy with the
glow Of health.
Realizing the vital Importance of
keeping himself fit, the president is
exceedingly careful to play with his
work. Early every morning, long
