THE OLD HOME TOWN.

There are fancier towns than our little little tso there are towns that are gre bigger than this, and the people who live in the smaller towns don't know that excitement they miss There are things you see in the wealthier towns that you can't in a town that's small; and yet, up and down, there is no other town like out little town after all. It may be that the street aren't long, they're not wide nor maybe straight, but the neighbors you know in your own little town all welcome q fellow-it's great In the glittering streets of the glittering town, with it's palace and pavement and thrall, in the midst of the throng you will frequent ly long for your own little town after all. If you live and you work in your own little town, in spite of the fact that it's small. you'll find it fact that our own little town is the best little town after all.

Sevens in the Scriptures.

It seems that the number seven has
 lways had some peculiar significance says the Columbus Dispatch. On the seventh day of the seventh month a holy observance was ordained to the children of Israel, who feasted seven days and remained seven days in tents. The seventh day was supposed to be jubilee. Jacob served seven years to win Rachael for his wife, Noah had seven days warning of the flood. Nebuchadneezar lived seven years as a beast. The Savior spoke seven times from the cross on which he hung seven hours. In scripture there are seven insurrections men, toned. In the Lords prayer there are seven petitions. There were sev- en mysteries of the apocalypse re- vealed in the seven churches in Asia. In Revelation there is described seven lambs before the seven spirits of God seven golden candlesticks, book with seven seals, seven angels with seven trumpets, seven players, seven vials of wrath, seven kings, seven thunders and a dragon with seven heads.

Would Bar Flanders Poppy.
tBy International News Service. ]

(By International News Service.1
 Boston, July 19.-The Flanders poppy, revered by many as a symbol of some one dear to them who lost his life on a Belgian battlefield, was roundly condemned by Dr. Arthur W. Gilbert, state commissioner ot agri- culture, who warns against importing the flower.
 Dr. Gilbert does not base his objec- tions on sentimental but on economic grounds. He sees the gaudy poppy as an economic menace.
 If it continues to be planted here,' ? he said. "it is likely to become a sec end ox-eyed daisy. In Flanders it is not cultivated for its beauty or cher. ished for it's sentiment. It is seen in large quantities there because its growth has got beyond the control of the authorities"
 He declared the poppy could easily rival the "Brown-eyed Susan" in dam. ' aging the hay crop.

From time to time, rumors more or less vague and uncertain are circu- lated to the effect that there is likely to be an extra session of the legisla- ture. There is no prospect whatever of such event. Governor McRae has never for moment seriously consid- cred such contingency. No problem has yet presented itself which he con sidered of sufficient urgency to re- quire radical solution.
