Mammals in Heaven.

Two little children, boy and a girl,
Sat by an old church door.
The girls little feet were as brown as
the curl
That fell on the dress that she wore,
The boys coat was faded and ha;less
was his head;
A tear shone in each little eye.
"Nhy don't you run home to your
mamma" l said:
And this was the maiden's reply:
Chorus.
Mammals in heaven; they took her
away,
Left jim and me alone;
We come here to sleep, at the close Of
day,
For We have no mamma or home.
We can't earn our bread, we're too lit
tle," she said;
Jim s five years and | only seven !;
There's no one to love us since papa
is dead,
And our darling mammals in heav-
en-
Para was lost out at sea, long ego,
we waited all night on the shore
For he was a life-saving captain, you
know,
But he never came back any more
Then mamma got sick, angels took
her away,
She said to a home warm and
bright;
They'll come for my darlings,' she
told US, 'someday,'
Perhaps they are coming tonight.
May be tonight they've no room
there she said,
Two little ones to keep"
Then placing her hands under little
Jim's head,
She kissed him, and both fell asleep
The sexton came early to ring the
church bell,
He found them beneath the snow
white;
The angels made room for the orphans
to dwell
In heaven with mama that night.
Your Cousin.

soUTH CAROLINA'S ANNUAL
AUTOMOBILE EXHlBlTlUN
Golunbia-March 18th to 18th.

Oolumbia's second annual automo-
bile show, which opens WEDNESDAY
March IA, gives promise OF being
one of the biggest and best that has
been held in the South. 1t promises
to far eclipse the maiden effort last
year which was declared by those
who knew to have been one OF the
most attractive in this section.
One of the features, aside from the
exhibits themselves, will be coupe
of Young women who will entertain
the audiences every afternoon and
evening with song hits and ballads.
Miss Lea Leland is known as the per
.onality girl" and Miss Josephine
Harman as the character singer. Miss
Leland was formerly with the every
woman company. Miss Harman mas
appeared in vaudeville.
Another feature of the musical pro-
gram will be the instrumental music,
furnished by Schumacher's orchestra
each evening. This guarantees good
music.
Many cars will be on exhibit. One
or the nllLy mOUe1S Will p0
model Sedan which is built according
to latest ideals and one of the most
up-to-date on the market. Each
dealer and exhibitor will be repre-
sented by one of his best and newest
designs.
The room with automobile acces-
.ories will also be filed with attract
i've exhibits, such as seen in the latest
automobile shows.
Craven hall has been enlarged for
the show and this will allow more
room for exhibits and for the specta-
tors.
The show will open on Wednesday
evening, March IA, and will continue
through Saturday night from IL
O'Clock each morning until II o'clock
at night. Account Of the State Teach
ers' association and other attractions
in Columbia at that time, it is expect
ed that there will be large crowds
from all sections of the State.
The show has been planned along
modern methods and will cope with
aRv of those in the larger cities.

PRESIDENTS POWER
EXTENDS TO tRMlNG
Lansing and Gregory Rule That He
Can Put Guns on Merchant
men.

Washington, March S.-Secretary
Lansing and Attorney General Greg
ory have advised President Wilsol
that he had full authority to arm
American merchant ships against Il
legal attacks by German submarines.
1t was these two officers-the gov
ernments authorities respectively on
international questions and law-that
the president referred the contention
raised in the senate that old statutes
enacted to authorize merchantmen TO
resist pirates raised an insuperaole
bar to the step he desired to take 70
meet the submarine menace. Tney
have reported that the statutes nave
no application to the present sltua-
ton.
Whether the president will act I'M
mediately in accordance with this
opinion or will wait to call speclai
session of congress to pass resolu-
ton similar to that killed by NIL
buster during the last session was not
revealed tonight.
In view of the action of the senate
today in revising its rules TO preVent
another such flibuster, it was thought
in some administration quarters that
the president will Immediately call
an extra session. Weight was given 10
this idea by the presidents statement
last Sunday in which he held blame
for the failure of the armed neutraN-
ty resolution on little group OF Will
sul men, and appealed to the senate
tn amend it's rules and save the
country from disaster.
However. it was recalled that IN the
same statement the president express
ed the opinion that old statutes mlght
raise masquerade practlcaole oo-
jstructions.' Since then he has recelV-
Z ed the opinions of the attorney gen.
eral and the secretary of state.
One problem invovled in consider
ing the subject is the probable dill
fculty over the organization OF Tue
next house because of the almost
evenly distributed balance of power
between the Democrats and Repuoll-
cans.
A long drawn out fight such as fas
marked the organization OF more TN
one house probably would delay ac-
tion ON the armed neutrality Ques-
tion-a contingency which the pfesl-
dent is determined to avoid.
It is taken for granted in all quar-
tiers that before July l the president
III summon an extra session of con-
gress. The only question open TO-
night was whether it will be calleo
Immediately. Many members OF the
old house have left for their homes
and some of the new members are
rot here. Therefore at least week
notice is considered imperative ana
some members want three weeks De-
canse of their expectation that once
congress convenes again it Will re-
main in session long time.
The president himself remained in
he'd all day with cold, and saw no
callers Because of his cold, and De-
cause three members of the caolnet
are absent from the city it appeared
probable that the usual Friday caol-
net meeting would be Cancelled
On every hand, however, the pre-
diction was made that the decision OF
the president either to call an extra
session Immediately or to arm amer
lean merchantmen on his own autnoE-
itv is expected before the end OF the
present week, possibly tomorrow.

about peace, remember. Yet, you
nearly came to blows
Don't jump to conclusions, sir,
We were not arguing about tenn
porary truce, but permanent peace,
and every body, neutrals and bellig-
erents alike, seems to think that's
worth fighting for

Doings of the Monday Club

Armed with work bags and smiling
faces, the Monday Club members who
braved the elements Monday after
noon found the club room blooming
like spring garden, filled with lilacs
daffodils, and jonquils.
The Monday Club "angels." the
Marys and Marthas had made prev
ious visit bringing cheer for the art
istic eye and the elmer man."
A brief business session tied up the
scattering odds and ends of business
for the year, after which delightful
and informal conversational hour en-
sued
A Monday Club daughter, Mrs.
Thonnes of GAINESVILLE, added much to
the enjoyment of the occasion by sing
ing several beautiful solos.
A short story on Loyalty was read
by the president, and so inspired one
small wisp of woman that she arose

her face and figure, and left the room
returning later with delinquent mem
Der whom she had captured, alone and
unaided.
The said delinquent member was
Immediately given the seat of honor
at the festive board, on the right
hand of her captor.
This with good cheer and kindly
feeling ended the twentieth year of
the Monday Clubs existence.
The Red Cross Mass meeting at
Culton Memorial Hall in the city
library Friday evening, brought out
a large crowd of earnest men and
women to learn of the good work of
this great organization. Mr.. Love
Joy of GAINESVILLE, explained the pur-
poses and methods of organization,
and the splendid results obtained
from the efforts not only in war bat
in peace. After the melting seventy
signers were obtained and each OF
these were bound to secure three
more members. The Red Cross is one
of the largest organizations in the
world whose aim is to alleviate suf-
fering. It's noble work is recognized
by authority in all the lands, and
wherever the Red Cross sign is raised
the respect of belligerent forces is
commanded.

Economy Luncheon a Feature.

The wartime economy meatless, po-
tatoless meal was served to Wisconsin
editors and printers in convention at
Madison by the young women students
in the home economics department of
the University of Wisconsin at noon on
Friday in Lathrop hall.
Baked yellow soy beans constituted
the piece de resistance Of the meal and
were accompanied by cornmeal mullins.
Black soy bean soup with barley bread
sticks showed the possibility of another
cheap combination of high nutritive
value.
Wisconsin buttermilk made by pro-
cess devised by Professor J. L. Samnis
of the dairy school, was served with
watercress as the salad course, the
dressing of which was made of peanut
oil.
Alfalfa bread sandwiches, gray green
in color, but tasty and nutritious, at
tracted much attention, as substitute
for wheat bread. The alfalfa leaves
were ground up and mixed with whole
wheat flour in making this bread.
Ground clover leaves with little
whole wheat flour were the basis of the
clover spice cakes served with the
desert of Wisconsin milk sherbert.

Ask Sale of Cambridge Road.

Once more the shortest railroad in
Wisconsin, the Chicago & Lake Super
ior, formerly operating line between
London and Cambridge, Dane county,
has become the subject of litigation in
the circuit court O. Ell. Hanson, FL.
A. Hanson and o. j. Olson have started
an action to recover on judgment of
81, 692. 62.
According to the complaint the Chi
cage & Northwestern Railway Co. OBJ
tanned a judgment of that amount
against the defendant company. There
after the judgment was assigned and
transferred over to the plaintiffs who
claim that the Chicago & Lake Super
Tor has failed to pay the same. 1t is
alleged that for more than two years
the company has refused and neglected
to perform it's duties as a common car
rier and has permitted its rolling stock
to become and remain out of repair and
in dilapidated condition and its road
bed and rails to become unfit for use.
The road is hopelessly insolvent and
without means to carry on its business,
according to the complaint.
The plaintiffs demand judgment that
the stock, property and things in action
and effects of the. company be seques-
tered and placed in the hands of re-
ceiver, that the same be converted into
cash and the proceeds distributed among
the creditors who are made party de-
