BEDoU1N LOVE SONG

From the desert I come to thee
On a stallion shod with fire;
And the winds are left behind
In the speed of my desire.
Under thy window | stand,
And the midnight hears my cry;
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old
And the leaves Of the Judgment
Book unfold
Look from thy window and see
Ny passion and my pain;
I lie on the sands below,
And | faint in thy disdain.
Let the night winds touch thy brow
With the heat Of my burning sigh,
And melt thee to hear the vow
OF love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old
And the leaves of the judgment
Book unfold
Nv steps are nightly driven,
By the efver m my breast,
To hear from thy lattice breathed
The words that shall give me rest.
Open the door of thy heart,
And open thy chamber door,
And my kisses shall teach thy lips
The love that shall fade no more
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old
And the leaves of the Judgment
Book unfold

Small Naval Battle

London, Aug. lS.-An engagement
between British and German scouting
ships in which one German destroyer
and several mine sweepers were dam
aged, was reported by the admiralty
today.
The biggest type of British vessels
engaged in scout work took part in
the fight, when they came upon the
enemy. The British opened fire on the
German destroyer, damaging her but
she escaped as did the mine sweepers
the destroyer was conveying. Severas
of the latter were damaged,
German submarines were also en-
gagged in the fight, the admiralty state
ment said The fight took place Thurs
day morning
Telling of the engagement the ad-
miralty added;
"During the scouting operations
Thursday morning we were unable to
follow the destroyer and mine sweep
ers owing to mine field
"During the engagement submarines
attacked our light forces also. After
this second action we were undamaged
The engagement occurred in the Ger
man blight.
The Germans for some time past
have been sending mine sweepers into
the North sea from Heiigoland, under
escort of destroyers. They have been
sighted several times by British patrol
war vessels, but this is the first clash
reported. This diligence of the Ger
mans in their mine sweeping work has
given rise to speculation in England as
to whether the enemy fleet intends to
come out amin.

Million Baskets
New England Crop
Of 1917 Peaches

New England peaches are ripening.
This year they are uncommonly fine
in, appearance and luscious to the
taste. The crop is also unusually
large-about 100000 baskets.
In years Of heavy yield New Eng
land peaches, have been wasted-al-
lowed to rot on the ground. This
should not happen this year. It is
our patriotic duty to prevent tt If we
can. And we can il we will.
If New England people, housewives
especially, knew the value &of. this
New England crop, it would all be
marketed. Peaches may be preserv-
ed in many ways-there are five diff
ferent methods OF drying. them, all
available in almost any New England
kitchen. Besides canning. there are
dozens of ways they may be prepared
for winter use.
And a recently discovered method
will enable the housewife to substi-
tute one quarter Of an ounce Of COM
mon salt for ten ounces of sugar.
The season for the native or New
England grown peaches is at hand.
To get the most enjoyment of a pro-
duct 1T is interesting to know some
thing Of its history and developments.
That the peach is a beautiful fruit
hardly needs TO be SAID, Tor tn name
is used to describe the most wonder
full work of the Creator-woman.
China first knew the peach though
some writers have designated Persia
as its home. The first recorded name
Of the peach is in the Chinese Ian
guage. The peach was brought to
America soon after the early settlers
arrived. This is evidenced by the
number of wild peaches in some Of
the southern states, especially in the
mountains.
Although we think of the peach as
growing in only a few definite Sec
tions it is nevertheless grown in every
state Of the Union. Texas leads all
other states in the number Of bear
ing peach trees, 1910, 486 in 1910.
One of the largest peach growing
sections of the country Is that which
includes New Jersey. Maryland and
Delaware. Those were the peaches
recently in the market. Now comes
the time of the New England peaches
which, because they are allowed to
ripen on the trees are superior in evz-
cry way. The bulk of the New Eng
land crop is grown in Massachusetts,.
Rhode Island and Connecticut.

ORDER OF ST. GEORGE
ELECTS OFFICERS

The 29th annual convention Of the
State Grand Lodge, Order of ST.
George, for the State of Connecticut.
was held in this city yesterday, meeting
being in the Citizens building, Main
and Cannon streets. Many notables
OF the national body were present at
the session which heard reports of
the secretary, treasurer and president
showing a large increase in member
ship and general improvements dur
ing the year.
These officers were elected for the
ensuing year: Joseph Morse, grand
president, Rockville, Conn; A. s.
Stanley. grand vice president, New
Britain; J. E. Whatnall, grand secre-
tray, New Britain; William NJ. Cop
ley, grand treasurer, Torrington; B.
Hall, grand messenger, Terryvile;
James w. knight, Bridgeport, grand
assistant secretary. James A. Turner
and James W. knight of Bridgeport
wer returned upon the law commit
tee. Supreme President J. w. Parker
Of of Philadelphia, Supreme Grand
Secretary A. ] Pinchbeck of New
York and Supreme Treasurer w. "A.
Penney of Brooklyn, N. z, were
guests Of the. order here today.
A message of welcome was sent tc
the convention, by Mayor Clifford B
Wilson It was decided to hold the
next convention in Hartford.

made their own shelters, which were
just holes dug in the ground and COW
cred with tree-trunks and earth and
affordtng very little protection, be-
sides taking up much of the time of
the soldiers and costing very much
labor and money for transporting the
necessary timber.
1t was then decided to utilize the
older classes of the reserve of the
territorial army who had been called
to the colors and who. despite their
previous military training, had been
found unable to bear the strain of
campaigning. Several companies OF
them were formed and they were first
given tina jusjs of constructing shell
tiers in the Somme district and around
Verdun. Their officers were chosen
from the engineer corps and from
men who in civil life were engaged in
similar undertakings, such as build
ers and miners Most Of the men
were peasants used to digging in the
fields and their work was very salts
factory, but this kind OF excavating
work was different and they suffered
considerably from the usual motion
Of having to throw the earth upward.
or wheeling it in barrows up steep in
clines.
One of the officers overcome this
trying difficulty by inventing an ap-
paratus for carrying loosened earth or
rock to the surface by use of electric
power. By thiss Arrangement two
men can do theuwork formerly done
by ten. When the earth has reached
the surface it falls into barrows and
is wheeled away along the level and
distributed about in such manner as
not to attract the attention of the
enemy's airmen flying about the lines
to observe what is going on in the
opposing position.
Special army saw mills have been
started to provide the props and
planking for the shelters and every
thing is done at minimum cost.
The veterans so employed have sus-
tanned losses when working in expos
ed positions, but no donger appears
to daunt them and they continue their
job as though they were working in
the fields at home. They have adapt
ed themselves to the use of the most
modern tools, and although the great
majority OF them had no previous ex-
perience Of electric drills and borers
they now use them as well as prac-
&iced miners.

Dandruffy Scalps
Lead TO Badness

II you have dandruff get rid of il
quick-it's positively dangerous and
will surely ruin your hair If you
don't. Dandruffy heads mean faded
brittle. gray, scraggly hair that final
ly dies and falls out-new hair will
not grow-then you are bald and
nothing can help you. The only sure
way to abolish dandruff for good is TO
destroy the germ that causes it. To
do this quickly, surely and safely
there is nothing so effective as Par
isian sage, which you can get from
w, L. Gokay and good druggists
everywhere. 1t is guaranteed to
cure dandruff, stop itching scalp and
falling hair, and promote a new
growth, or the cost, small as 1t is,
will be refunded.
Partisan sage is scientific prepar-
alton that supplies all hair needs
an antiseptic liquid, neither sticky
or greasy, easy to apply, and delicate
ly perfumed.
If you want beautiful, soft, thick,
lustrous hair, and lots of it, you must
use Partisan sage. Don't delay-he-
gin tonight--a little attention now in
sures abundant hair for years to
come.
Note: Partisan sage positively
will not color or streak the hair.

Official reports, sent out from
Washington by the associated press.
are general statements and refer to
the general situation rather than to
any particular locality. Yesterday
dispatches from Washington printed
in every newspaper, led folks to be-
lieve that they should not pay over
nine cents a pound for sugar but
local merchants declare that they are
now paying from 9 to $50 cents per
pound for sugar. When they buy at
that price and pay the freight and
shrinkage, they certainly cannot sell
at nine cents, In fact some of the
wholesalers have not had any sugar
to offer for two weeks and three big
sugar reaneries have had to with
draw from the market because OF
being unable to get raw sugar The
Banner remarked some months ago
| that il would not take much stock in
price liking or price lowering until
the consumers could see the effect
and we are more than ever con-
firmed in that belief. 1t is not the
| fault of the administration which is
trying hard to prevent the price of
necessities of life getting beyond the
reach of people of small income. The
difficulty is that things pass through
; so many hands and the demand for
| food supplies Is so great that 1t is inn
possible 10 effect reductions that are
actually justified. Even in Germany
l'where most everything is run by rule,
it is said by Swiss and other neutral
observers that price fixing has not
been successfully accomplished.
