The Willow Tree.

l am thinking today of that home far
away,
Of the home on the rough coast
of Maine
And tears fill my eyes, for I know
that on earth,
That loved spot, 1 shall ne'er see
again.
The old house on the hill, and the
murmuring rill,
That flows nits way to the bay,
Twas the last sound I heard, when
at night I sought rest
And the same that awoke me at
day.
The quaint little door, / shall enter
never more,
And the windows looking out upon
the sea,
The willows in the yard, that l planted
when a child
Seem to nod, and bid welcome
home to me.
But why should I long, all the dear
ones are gone,
The house filled with strangers to
me,
Those have loved, sleep under the
sod
And none ito give ME welcome, but
The :oid willow tree.

GOVERNOR TALKS
OF FOOD SHORTAGE
Calls on Farmers to Plant More Corn
and Avert Disastrous Prices Incl
dent to Low Stock of Wheat.

The State.
In commencing upon the predicted
food shortage next fall Governor
Cooper yesterday urged that farmers
give careful thought to the existing
and forecast conditions, and take
every possible step to avoid a food
shortage. "With the wheat crop only
about two-thirds of normal, there is
danger that flour will be- almost pro-
hibitively high, if, indeed, it can be
obtained in the quantities desired" "
said the governor.
"Our answer to this situation
should be the planting Of more corn.
/ know the temptation, to give all pos
sible attention to cotton is very great
because of the price cotton is bring
ing. But we must remember that the
food supply is of first Importance,
and that general distress will prevail
in case -four and meal are produced
in quantities insufficient to meet de-
mand. By putting forth little extra
effort, practically every farmer in
this state can plant an additional field
in corn. The best informed agencies
and men of the country assure us
that this should be done. That extra
corn acreage offers the only solution
now seen for the threatened bread
shortage, and that unless some such
steps are taken, we shall within few
months find ourselves struggling with
an economic condition arising from a
food supply considerably under the
food demand: Food prices are now
very high. What will. they be if the
threatened condition materializes?
etsMy purpose in making this state
ment is to urge that farmers give
some thought to this matter, and that
wherever possible food crops be in
creased"

Many young men came back from

but the tiresome routine Of office
work. After their army experience
nearly all regret returning to voca-

Through a little adventure he wins
the confidence Of some noted jewellers
who are endeavoring to stop the
smuggling Of gems from Europe.

THE. GALLI-CURCI TOUR
IN HANDS OF ATLANTANS

The "Jack Salter" mentioned in
the clipping below from the Atlanta
Constitution is Dewitt Salter, former
ly Of this city-a brother of Misses
Lizzie and Minnie Salter and Otwey
and Leroy Salter:
"Amelita Galli-Curci, renowned
soprano, has placed the exclusive
management of her concert touring
in the hands of the Atlanta firm Of
Evans & Salter, according to an
nouncement made Wednesday. Nine.
Galli-C Curci is reputed to be the high
est-paid soprano since the days Of
Adelina Patti, and her engagements
will be handled entirely by Lawrence
Evans and Jack Salter, one Of whom
will travel with the famous opera
singer on her tours.
"The announcement that Mme.
CALI Curci had asked the Atlanta
firm. to take charge Of her affairs fol-
lowed the announcement that she had
entered suit against her former con-
cert manager, Charles L. Wagner, for
S125,000, which she alleged was due
her from concert receipts. Head
quarters Office for the firm of young
Atlantans will be opened in New York
under the name of Evans & Salter.
'The tour which Nine. Galli-C -Curci
will take this season will extend
across the continent and into Canada,
and is a great tribute to the firm
which has conducted the seasons of
the all-star concert series, since the
handling of the great sopranos tours
has been sought by many of the old
est and best known concert managers
in the country. The transaction came
wholly voluntarily from Nine. CALI
Curci, who had met the members of
the firm on a trip to Atlanta to par
ticipate in the all-star series.
"The concert series formerly ham
died by the firm will continue to be
handled through the Atlanta Office of
Evans & Salter, but it is not yet as
sured that the many engagements of
the singer will permit her appearance
in Atlanta during the approaching
SEASON."
