'sThe Next War"

r there Is one concrete end to be fought
for in this war. that end is an enduring
peace. All else may be bewldering abb
straction. All else may be underlined and
difficult to grasp, but when the allied gov
ernments tell the world that they are sac
rihcing their treasure and the lives of mil
lions OF their men that another such war
as this may be impossible, they are talking
language that all men understand and
championing a sentiment that all sane men
applaud
And because we are investing the best

nent peace upon the earth, it would be
worse than folly to accept premature peace.
However appealing that condition NAV be-
however eager all belligerents may be to
accept the friendly Offices OF the Vatican or
any other neutral agency looking toward

possibility OF another German-made war is
removed. When General Won Liebert who

Good morning. Love! Your smile Is bright!
What glores welcomed you last night
Where you went dreaming?
What merry naiads led the way
To where your dream gods were at play,
So careless seeming?
Good morning. Love! Your voice is clear!
What jolly songbrds have we here.
Come back from roaming?
Afar you strayed where dream pa this led,
But TO your nest with day you sped.
a joyous homing!
Good morning. Love! Your pretty eyes
Rival the softest summer skies,
Or tender flowers!
What wooer, what fair Prince of Dreams
Led you away on wavering beams
To moonlit bowers?
Good morning. Love! Heart of Mine!
Your kiss Is like the breath of wine!
Come make me drunken.
When you awake. all care takes wines,
All grief and pain and Borrowings
In love are sunken!

And l reach for single thought
I dip my pen in pail Of ink
For the line with deep stun fraught;
But think and think. and dip and dip.
And try till my poor brain reels.
AID can't get single thought to slip,
And It's terrible how 1t feels!
I am used to writing n lot of lines 4.

Or Love by the side of Spring;
But tonight. somehow, things don't pan out,
And tho spigot Of rimes runs dry
And n dreary old gink am 1!
For I'm much like the village smithy, who
Stood under the spreading trec-
He hammered out things OF iron. It's true
But he hadn't lot me.
For have an anvil, and 1 have to swing
With sinews stout his'n-
And can't get doggoncd bird to sing,
Or burst from Its golden prison!
I sit tonight at my desk, and wish
That the job were across the seas
For I'd rather go out In dory and fish
Than to hammer this sorry wheeze! [soul
Here I've taken my time, and I've worn your
With the plant of weary mind
And I'm going to quit this troublesome dole
Here's the last OF the dinged old grind!

SHORTER APPLE CROP
but Indications Are That Prices Will
Average Much Higher Than
Last Year.

Inst Year.
Present indications are that the apple
crop of Virginia this year will not COM
pare favorably with tho bumper crop
Of last year in quantity. But this de-
ticiency will be compensated to some
extent by an increase in quality and
price. Last year was the banner year
in tho history of the apple business in
Virginia. but the crop OF this year will
command an altogether favorable price
as compared with that of last year.
According to all reports from tho
apple districts in Virginia. tho buyers
are numerous. and business -ctivity is
beginning rather early. The apple bus
mess in Virginia usually is from S.
100000 TO $l0.000.000. II will not meet
this mark this year. although there are
about 100000 or 100000 barrels of
apples in this State that will soon be
ready for sale and immediate shipment
Even at this enormous figure OF 1.oo0.-
600 barrels: the apple business falls
from 100000 to 100000 barrels short
This shortage was caused to great de-
gree by the unfavorable spring weather
conditions. These figures show in some
degree the enormous output of apples
and tho importance OF the apple bust
ness in this State.
These are the prices of apples this
year. as compared with the prices OF
last year: Yorks. which last year sold
ut $3.50 barrel. are now selling at
from 81 to $3.50: all Grimes Golden
around Martinsburg are selling at $3.50:
Staymans. which sold last year at from
$3.50 to 81. now range from $3.50 to
1915 to IS. Black Twigs last year
sold at the same price that Staymans
sold. and this year are selling at IS:
winesaps last year ranged from SO to
-. and this year are selling from 81
to $3.50; Ben Davis apples. which last
year sold from So to $o25, which Last
year from $3.50 to 3.75.

BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL Il
COMMANDS BEING FORMED
State Guards Take Only One Oath. and
Cannot he Made to Serve Out
side OF State.


Tho fact that now and additional
voluntary units OF the National Guard,
as authorized by tho Secretary of War,
are to be formed has no relation what
soever with the State volunteers. who
are now organizing in tho service Of
tho State. 1t Is true that these new
National Guard units, as stated yes
terday In Tho Times-Dispatch. are to
be placed under tho orders Of the ma
tional government. but these units have
no connection Mt all with tho State
volunteers.
There need be no misunderstanding
at all. The now National Guard units
which are to be organized are an alb
solutely different organization from
the State volunteers. These National
Guard units will be required to take a
dual oath to serve both the State and
the United States. and consequently can
be called into Federal service at any
time. But the State volunteers take
only one oath, and that Is to serve
their State. and are under no obliga-
tion to serve outside the State. These
companies that are now in the pro-
cess OF formation, to be known as the
virginia Volunteers. need not have any
uneasiness at all on this account. as
the oath prescribed for such State or
CARNATIONS eliminates all liability To
Federal service.

wealth was estimated at sSO,oO0,O0O 900.
of this amount, at least S20,000,000. 900 has
