The Scarlet Tanager.

The country folk call the scarlet tana-
ger the frebird. His feathers set the
woods on TIRE, Reversing the figure,
the fmebird puts out the torch oil The Sumac
and pales The plumage of the oriole that
has come TO lily Gin tropic splendor
rough our northern sky"
This tanager oil ours is not much OF a
songster. He does not have TO be. All
he has TO do is "stand on" in the show
in order to share applause with the gold
tongued wood thrush and the mellow
noted meadow lark. Seemingly the tan
ager thinks that his call is TO be preferred TO
his song, for ne calls forty times where
he sings once. The lip OF tree gives
him the best stage setting for his beauty,
and there he perches, looks the sun in
the eye and chip-churs by the hour. His
mate is modestly CARRIED female, who
is willing TO attend 10 home duties while
Beau Brummel gallivants abroad.
II is only for season that the tanager
wears MS Il.eman suit. Natures rule
that he must change his clothes when
September is spent may seem foolish to
him, but he obeYs TO The feather. In dun
and drab he goes south. where he tells
an unbelieviug and brilliantly plumaged
company OF tropic birds of the wonder OF
his summer dress.

KAISER PRAISES
 GERMAN SAILORS WHO RfPtL ATTACK

Amsterdam, Aug. 2O.-At the con- clusion of his visit to the German high. sea fleet at Wilhelmshaven, Emperor William issued the follow ing to the fleet:
 "After having recently received an announcement that renewed heavy attack of the enemy in an attempt to break up our sea front in Flanders had been successfully repelled. l have today by visit to my fleet and the island fortress of Helgoland been enabled to convince myself of the strength and security of this front, too. I express my warm appreciation to all the high sea forces on the water, under water and in the ar and to the fortress of Helgoland for their untiring, self-sacrificlng ana suco essful labor, by means Of Whlch they have kept firmly in view and at- tained this aim. May the fleet re main conscious that the confidence of myself and the fatherland reposes firmly on it.''
 The emperor distributed a number If iron crosses. His visit is reported to have been caused by the threat o1 strikers at the Wilhelmshaven ar- senal.

COUNTY JUDGES
 FACE DILEMMA

Little Rock, Aug. 20.-Because of conflicting statutes, county judges will find it very difficult to build any thing more than cheap culverts until the legislature can change the law about the building of bridges. This was brought out by the dilemma of the county judge of Bradley county who wants to build $19,000 bridge, and who finds that he cannot do so. A new law provides that no county judge shall enter into any contract unless the quorum court has previ- onsly made an appropriation for the full amount. An old statute, not re- pealed by the new, provides that 8 quorum court cannot appropriate more than 90 per cent of the probable revenue. In many instances it will be impossible to harmonize these two statutes, and in consequence the county judge will be helpless. and the
 quorum court cannot give any rellef,
 for the total cost of project mlgnt
 greatly exceed the prescribed 90 per
 cent of the county's annual revenue.

WERKERLE MADE
 PREMIER WHEN
 ESTERHAZY QUITS

Amsterdam, Aug. 20.--The Wolff bureau, the semi-official German news agency, in a dispatch from Buda' Pesth, announced that pr. Alexander Werkerle has been appointed premier of Hungary as successor to Count Esterhazy.
 Dr. Werkerle was premier and min ister of finance of Hungary from April, 1906, to January, 1910. The resignation of Werkerle from the cab inet was due to the breaking up of the coalition party that had supported Werkerie when he had endeayored to establish the Hungarian state bank, independent of the existing Austrian institution.
 A dispatch from Amsterdam Sun day said there was likelihood of Els terhazy's resignation, owing to fric- tion between the premier and Count Karolis, president of the Hungarian independence party, on the question of foreign policy and terms of peace.

Robert Lovett Appointed Director of Priority of

Washington, Aug Achievement control of the coal industry moved a step nearer today when President Wilson formally appointed Robert s. Lovett, of the war industrial board, director of priority of transportation, and approved an order issued by Judge Lovett directing that rail and steam ship lines give bituminous coal ship ments to the northwest preference over all other freight movements.
 Within the next day or so the presi- dent is expected to appoint coal ad- ministratcr on whom he will confer authority to control coal production and distribution, including price fix ing powers given to the executive in the food control act.
 At an hours conference with the federal trades commission he went over details of his plans. There was no intimation tonight as to whom the president would select.

ALLIED NATIONS
 CONGRATULATE M. P0INCARf
President of France Passed 57th Birthday Annivers-
 ary Yesterday.

Paris, Aug. 20.-From President Wilson, and from the rulers of Eng land, Italy and other of the allied na- tiOns at war, messages of cordial greeting were received at the Elysee today congratulating President Poin- care on the occasion of his fifty-sev enth birthday anniversary. The pop ularity of the French war president was further emphasized by the receipt of flood of felicitous messages from the military and civil population throughout France.
 The French republic has probably had no more popular executive than M. Poincare who has guided the des- tinies of the nation since the fall of 1913. Few statesmen of today have enjoyed more phenomenal success in politics. At thirty he attained cabinet rank and 34 was minister of fi- nance. For several years he with drew from active politics and devoted himself to legal work which brought him from $75,000 to $1OO,OOO year In 1911 he became premier, which po- sition he retained until he was elected to the presidency four years ago. An amusing story is told of Pres ident Poincare When he returned tc his house after his election his moth CT, neglecting the official personages present, kissed her son in front of them all, and then, batting his cheek remarked: "I hope, Raymond, that you have not undertaken too difficult job. You were never quite so clever as you thought yourself, you know"
