ME poet was prepared to become I'M
mortal. His lodgings were in per-
A feet order, for his landlady had
swept all of his manuscripts into
the garbage pail and his creditors had re.
moved all of his furniture.
AS he sat contemplating the great toe Of
his right foot, which protruded through
hole in his shoe, the poet decided to write
poem which should unbar for him the
shining gates of Heaven This was a de-
cision of great consequence for the world
for the poet had never before wanted to 60
to Heaven.
He smoothed a piece of brown wrapping
paper on his knee, sucked the stub Of
pencil and prepared himself to be swung
on the wings of song in the realms of moth
ingness that are between Draco and Sirius,
through the Very Gates.
Precisely at the moment when the BLESSED
Damozel leaned to him from her bar and
her whisper was mingled in an ecstasy with
the touch of her lips on his brow, there
came a knock on the door
Damn muttered the poet, as he stopped
sucking his pencil. who's there% be
called.
The door swung slowly open and there
stood, framed in the doorway, the bewiteh-
ing figure of Lady.

"Ah," said the poet, sliding of bis
packing box, "you."
The Lady cast glance at the scamy walls
of the room, its dusty window. the bare
floor. Then she walked to the packing box
and sat upon it.
"You were leaving your lodging withou'
letting me know" she said reproachfuy.
Yes said the poet
"Where were you going, them"
"To Heaven" said the poet, vainly trying
to recall the Blessed Damozel who. ct ths'
moment, was putting up the shutters OF n''
shop and frownng at him.
'"And might have come here only to hna
you gone,' said the Lady.

The Ounce of

Prevention

This principle of maintaining the health
through outdoor exercise is the one on
which Admiral Cary 7. Grayson, President
Wilson's physician, has worked with such
fine results. By applying the laws for the
maintenance of health he has kept the Presi-
dent well during his strenuous and
responsibility throughout the war period.
It's better to spend money to keep
people we'll and happy than to spend it to
cure disease.
1t is estimated that in one year California
spends $20O0,O00 in the cure of preventable
disease. We can cut down the percentage

anything America has attempted.
One thing we are going to gain out of all
of this war holocaust, this sorrow, this suf

built the health of men by camp life, and
while this method is fresh in minds,

we are going to make it health asset as

Cattle Sale AT Nashville

The series Of cattle sales held on the
2S, 20, 80, 81 of 0btot er at Nashville
Union Stock Yards by the Tennessee
Beef Cattle Breeders Association, may
be proclaimed 10 every particular a
success. Most of the cattle had re-
ceived some attention 10 fitting for the
auction A few breeders treated the

caused those cattle in poor condition to
drift in price, and pull the average
down.
The ShOrthorn sale averaged $3.50 on
head on SO head Of cattle consigned

the series at WoodIawn Farms. aver
aged slOS2 on So head. This is the high
estsverage ever made in the South in
anysale Of any breed. The Angus saleheld
at the Union Stock Yards averaged
SI7l on A head. The Hereford sale
netted the highest average of the Sc
ries of three sales at the Stock Yards.
The Hereford cattle averaged $277 on
62 head, X may be said that the
Hereford breeders offered their cattle
in a higher degree of fin sh. Bidding
was spirited. and the cattle found Il
ready market.
1t is noteworthy to mention that com
parativeiy few Of the cattle left the

Cow Law Enforcement in
Somerville

A petition was circulated and largely
signed few days ago In this city. re-
questing Ihe city authorities to see 10
q more rigid enforcement of the city
ordinance which forbids the running at
large Of COWS. hogs, horses. etc. on the
vt sets Of the city.
This law has been enforced with
more or less regularity since lts passage
several years ago, and 1t meets the
general wishes of the citizens of the
town to have 1t enforced. bat there
have always been persistent violators
Of the law who continued to turn their
stock out to pasture the streets and IN.
fenced yards and lawns of the town.
Under the present admin traton il a2-
pears that there has been little effort
to enforce the said law, and in fact the
City Marshal has said that those whose
stock be has taken up have lied to him
about the stock getting out, instead OF
being turned out, and so refusing to pay
the fine of 81 per head on such stock,
that be got tired of wasting his time
and quit taking them up.
Now 1t remains that fine of 81 is
properly and legally chargeable against
every auimsl found running st large
within the town, regardless of whether
said animal GOT out or was TURNED
out, and the 81 can be collected under
the law, regardless Of anybody falsify-
ing the matter, Stock Of the writer
have been on the streets few times
in past years. very few, and we ear
nes,ly request that the law be enforced
as to ours or those of other people, II
enforced alike on ALL stock found on
the streets and 81 fine collected for ev-
cry animal found on the streets. 1t Is
a measure that meets the endorsement
of the people of the town and should be
enforced without fear or favor.
The petition will come before the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen. we are
informed, tonight. Thursday night, for
consideration.
