DREAMING IN TRh COTTAGE BY
THE STREAM.


I am sitting sad and lonely
Thinking of the days that's past
In the twilight I am dreaming
Of the joys that could not last
And vision comes before me
Yet know it's but dream
'Tis a picture in the wildwood
And a cottage by the stream
In the cottage by the wildwood
/ am sitting all alone
! am waiting for loved one
Who is far away from home
As ! listen to the wild birds
Singing up among the trees
And l hear amid the roses
The dull humming of the bees.
Hark there is a gentle footstep
Coming thru the cottage door
And cheery voice is calling
Calling me his own once more
Joyfully | spring to greet him
And my heart is beating fast
With his loving arms uruunu mG
| forget the dreary past
] can never more be lonely
For my life is like dream
With the one love so dearly
In the cottage by the stream.
Yet 'tis but a foolish fancy
And / wipe the tears away
/ am sitting in the twilight
At the closing of the day
Gould have just one wish granted

ing wisely as there is in saving wisely
These are all matters of individual ad
iustrnent. Legitimate business, thu
arts, the sciences, education and
wholesome forms of diversion ara
worthy of our financial support
and it is our duty to encourage
them when we can afford to do
so. If We are at a loss to de-
termine in our own minds whether
such and such a practice mirht be
considered unthrifty, we can satisfy
ourselves by determining whether il
constitutes any form of waste. ANY
practice that is wastcful should be
discouraged. But there are many
forms of spending that are thorough
iy legitimate and desirable and should
be encouraged because of the general
good that will be accomplished by
them. Such practices constitute the
greater thrift-the broad, upbuiliing
thrift upon which the future develops
ment of this nation depends
These statements should MOI be
construed as being in any way antag-
onistic to the faithful practices Of
thrift that constitute the SYSTEMATIC
saving of portion of ones income.
While the habit of saving money is
worthy of every encouragement, it is
well to bear in mind that true thrift
does not consist entirely of saving,
and that in the administration OF
ones affairs the obligations one owes
to general business and to society
must be given due consideration.

CLOTHING NEEDED FOR REFUGEES

The week Of March "a to 81 is to be devoted by the
Red Gross to the collection Of castof American garments
to be sent to the refugees in Europe.
This should be hailed by every housekeeper in the
land not only as an opportunity for worthy charity but
for Kidding herself of the burden of accumulated wearing
apparel
These are not the times for packing away anything
disable; there are too many needy ones all about. And
these are not times to practice penny wise poundfoo
sh economy wasting time and energy in remarkng what
might better be replaced There too many real things
to be DONE
1t is also Of the greatest Importance right now that
the people in the United States do all the buying they can
to stimulate trade and prevent hard times So it is douby
worth while to let the old go where it will do much good
and buy new to help business in own country and our
own community.
Anything which possibly can be spared, and which
would be suited to hard wearing conditions should go
into the Red Cross barrel To dispose thus OF the accu
mutations Of clothing which would otherwise be unused
or unnecessarily used is to get the full benefit of that
quality Of mercy which besseth him that gives and him
that receives.

CREDIT AT THE GROCERY.

John A. Green former president of the National Re-
tail Grocers Association thinks the day will come when
business done credit must go. Says he monuments
have been erected to the phanthropst who gave few
dollars to the p0or but never retail grocer who went
bankrupt giving credit to his customers"
The retail grocers do deserve a place in song and
story as the benefacor of their kind for they have
class tded more unfortunate families periods Of
financial stringency than any other body of citizens.
1t is matter of shame that this privilege has been
abused SO notorousy and it is wonder that the ten
dency to place groceries on cash basis is growing
steadily.
AS basis for credit, if it is extended at ALL Mr..
Green suggests that the grocer inform himself OF the GUS
toner's salary and conne himself to 20 per cent of thai
sum. This is suggestion made by man long in the
business and if he says that family spending than
per cent its income in groceries cannot be considered
financially sound, it is worth considering.
If more people practced just this careful apporton.
ment of expenses income would check the tendency to
waste in buying and using, and put credit basis where
there would be fewer distracted debbors and fewer

WAS PLAYING ON THE BAR

With the closing of the school year
comes an accident which saddens the
hearts of the community at large.
Charlie Johnson, ID years old, son

ished taking his examinations for

gether with other of the boys, he
went down to the play ground and
began playing on the large iron act
ing bar as is the custom with the

came unfastened from the posts and
fell heavily upon the base of his
skull. He was renderd unconscious

DR.. Bassett and DIR. Parsons were
summoned and they took him to his

SUPREME COURT SAYS WAR.
POWERS CONFERRED sU.
PREME AUTHORITY
ALL INJUNCTIoNS Dissolved,
Public Has No Relief From Exorbi--
tant Charges Imposed By
Government.

Washington, June 3.-Increased
railroad, telephone and telegraph,
rates ordered by the Railroad Admin
istration and the Postmaster General
respectively, were sustained Monday
by the Supreme Court, which held,
that the war powers conferred by
Congress upon the President includ-
ed sweeping control over the railroad
and wire systems with supreme and
conclusive" authority to fix intra-
state rates.
These questions were decided in
two opinions rendered by Chief JUS
tice White, the only relative to the
railroad rates being unanimous,
while Justice Brandies dissented in
the telephone and telegraph decision,
but without rendering a separate
opinion. The opinions affect itiga-
tions which have been instituted in
about forty States and which in
volved the validity of both rate or
ders.
AS a result of the courts opinion;
injunctions restraining the Director
| General of Railroads from enforc-
ing an order increasing freight and
passenger rates in North Dakota
were dissolved. The court also up
held the dismissal of proceedings
brought by Massachusetts State au-
thorities to prevent intrastate tele-
phone rates in that State being in
creased and set aside injunctions
preventing advance of telephone
rates in South Dakota and telegraph
rates in Illinois.
In addition the court also dismiss
ed an original suit brought by the
State of Kansas against the Post
master General seeking to have tha
rates prescribed by him in that State
declared unreasonable and to pre-
vent them from being made eff ctive
In deciding the cases the court held
that the resolutions under which the
government took over control of
these utilities, together with the Pres
ident's proclamations and the rail
road control act, gave the United
States complete possession and con-
troll under the war powers and that
Congress had right to confer these
powers upon the President.
