Brandenburg is no more. in Stone

name sounds much better to us, and
we feel sure il suits the people OF
that place much better than Branden-
burg, notwithstanding the fact that
most Of the people Of that place are
of German decent. they are loyal
Americans, and wanted the name
changed. And to the few who were
opposed to the name being changed,

The melon collie days have come,
The finest Of the year,
When watermelons are in stock,
And Autumn months are here.
We love to eat this JUICY fruit,
But we must watch our ways
Or We will likely take too much.
These melon Collie Days.
Also, in eating canteloupes,
We should precaution take,
Else we must call the doctor in,
To stop the stomach ache.
We see our little boys and girls.
viii quickly end their plays,
To tackle a big rocky ford,
These "Melon Collie Days"
They know not what is best for them
Nor little seem to care.
II they can all be satisfied,
While each one gets his share.
They eat while watermelons last,
And yet il never pays,
To keep on till their stomachs hurt
These "Melon Collie Days"
When was but little boy,
For melons ! would go.
rhe patch was planted in our field
That so well did know
I'd sit down in some shady place.
Or take the suns hot rays,
And eat enough to make me sick,
In melon Colo Days.

Love and tender ness were always lavished upon her unstintingly. She was a beautiful and unusually bright child compre- hending things beyond her years. She loved to go to Sunday school and en- joyed having the papers she brough home read to her. Her fondness fo flowers was known to all the neigh bors for she would often go from flow CT to flower touching them gently and admiring them. All of her short lifl had been spent in Ashdown until three weeks ago when she, with her parents moved to TeXarkanal Her body was laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery where the little mound~was covered by flowers
 Heaven has added another happy little angel to the throng who sing around the throne and may this sep aration which is but for time, serve to drsw the loved one nearer to taeir Savior. enrich their hearts and help them to strive harder to attain that home above.

"CLEVER AND LOGICAL"
Is LOndOn's View of President Will
 sons Answer.

London, Oct 9.-In diplomatic cir cles here President Wilson's reply to the peace proposals of Prince Maxi milan, the imperial German chancel- Tor, is regarded as clever and logi- cal.
 It is considered that the president was wise in refraining from flat re- jection. However, it is considered that he displays the same attitude of skepticism as do British and conti- mental statesmen concerning the good faith of the German government and desires satisfaction on this point be- fore taking further steps.
 It is believed that satisfactory an swer to President Wilson's questions will severely test Germany's good faith, while an affirmative reply will mean the acknowledgment of Ger man defeat.

CONVERTING THIRD LIBERTY
 LOAN BONDS

The privilege of conversion of the f per cent Liberty Loan bonds into Al per cent bonds expires on November g., 1918.
 Holders of 4 per cent bonds should not wait until the last moment to eX- ercise the privilege of. conversion, but should proceed to do so promptly. Delay will result in overburdening the banks and the Treasury Depart ment by making it necessary to han dle all conversions at the last moment which might result in the loss of the privilege of conversion altogether. The banks are in possession of forms of application for conversion of these bonds, and will attend to the details of same.

SOLDIER PROTECTED PAL
Although Wounded and Suffering, Trooper Covers Dead Friend
 With Ovcrcoat.

How little we at home are called upon to do toward the ultimate Allied victory when compared with the sacri- fees made by our men in the lines can be gathered from an excerpt of Private Peat's narration of his experiences lover there."
 One day as he was lying on a stretcher after the first German gas attack at Ypres, Peat says in the American Magazine. a soldier, soaked with blood, mud and rain, minus his overcoat, his tunic torn by shrapnel, came into the field dressing station. As he was shivering with cold, the nurse hurried over and asked him what had become of his overcoat
 "Oh." he answered in voice quiver- ing with chill; pal was killed back there, and he looked so cold lying there in the rain that l took off my coat and put it over him.
 Peat's comment on the story is that ''if the men in the trenches, with their dirt and their filth, their swearing and fighting, can show such tenderness and unselfishness and sacrifice l don't be- lieve you here at home are going to fall below them in nobility of spirit"
 Need we make further comment? Just think of this story during the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign.

VHtUjsLU | Ef1UE WITH GERMANY |S OUT IF QUESTION AMERICA WOULD HAVE TO RE- PUDIATE CIVILIZATION TO
 BARGAIN WITH BRUTES. HAGUE CONVENTION IS CITED Evidence of Violation of All Rules of
 Humanity Can Be Doubted
 by No One.
HAGUE CONVENTION IS CITED

America, unless we repudiate civili- sation and abandon humanity and pu: premium on savagery and brutality, can make no eovepanted peace, ID peace by agreement CT negotiation with Germany. It would be a cove nant with hell, partnership with infamy.
 Nor would such a peace secure heace, except so long as it suited Ger many. We can judge the future only by the past, and to Germany sacred treaties are scraps of paper only. Ger nany's whole history is q record ot national treachery, national bad faith, national dishonor, national murder and national infamy.
 Article 56 of The Hague Convention, to which Germany solemnly suo- scribed, is: Family honor and rights, the lives of persons and private prop erty. as well as religious convictions and practice, must De respected. Pri- vate property cannot be contiscated.'
 World Knows of Violations.
 The world knows how Germany has observed this article. There are mil lions of individual witnesses to her fragrant breaches of it. Every acre of foreign soil Germany has occupied bears mute but unimpeachable evi- cence Of it. There is plenty of Ger man evidence of it, too.
  in the enemies territories are in such large quantities that the difficulty of knowing where to put them increases day by day. At the request of the Prus- sian Minister of War. all chambers os commerce have been asked to give all possible information with regard to stOrehouseS, sheds, etc., which could be used temporarily to warehouse the spoil" (From the FSankfurter Zei- tung, January, 191S.)
 The German papers have been crowded with advertisements of sale of property taken from France and Bel gium. Members of the Reichstag have boasted of, others have censured, the

 Loan Must Show Our Answer.
 Of the old men and children mur- dered, of the women and girls ray. ished, of the nOncombatants taken from their homes and deported to work for their conquerors, of the mer- chant ships sunk and passengers and crews murdered, Of the hospital ships sunk. the hospitals and unfortified cit ies bombed of the mutilation and mur- der by crucifixion and otherwise of wounded and captured soldiers-of all this beastliness there is plenty of evi- dence. evidence that no one can disbe- lieve.
 The best answer to German peace propaganda is sinking more U-boats, sending more men to France, speeding up our work along every line and d heavy subscription to the Fourth Lib erty Loan. Peace must mean the tri- umph of right and justice. the defeat of Germanism, not truce with it, not a compromise with it.
 Our soldiers in France are glorious ly doing their part toward victory; the Liberty Loan subscription must show them that the people at home are do ing theirs.

THE GUARANTEED TONIC FOR WOMEN

Stella.Vitae has been in success. full use in the treatment of those diseases peculiar to women for more than q third of a century.
 For nearly ten years it has been sold under 8 plain, positive guarantee to benefit. Less than one bot. tie out of every one thousand sold has been refunded for, and every claim for a refund has been satisfied.
 Thousands of letters like this praising Stella-Vita and telling of benefit to- suffering women have been received.
 Yrs. E. n. Russell. of Mill Springs, N. O., gratefully writes us as follows:
 q was in a most wretched condi-. ton; had palpitation of the heart and would swell and bloat in a most distressing way. When l began using StelIa-Vitae l weighed 108i pounds. Now l weigh 135. l am, more thankful than l can ever tell you for the great good this won-i lerful medicine has done me-"
 Mrs Russell was at that critical period, the ''change," and her sincere i,ratitude for the blessed relief will be understood and appreciated by every .yoman who reads her letter.
 Stella-Vitae has proved boon to suffering vomanhood, to young girls approaching their first vital period, to women approaching the anguish of childbirth, to women approaching the sschange of life. 1" Stella-Vitae strength ems the female organs and promotes regularity in the monthly function.
 No risk of loss is taken by any sui. fering woman who tries Stella-Vitae on our guarantee of the first bottle.
 All dealers sell Stella.Vi.ae and will return your money If it does not bene fit you. Don't put off trial.
