pers are giving graphic accounts
of the situation daily, so why
not hear something about it
through the large papers in Vir-
ginia? 1t certainly makes most
interesting reading, and may
prevent a similar catastrophe in
this Commonwealth.
In Arkansas, the few hundred
trusted officials and representatives
of the people who put it oyer"
seem to have received only a few
million dollars for their services;
and the little road work. which
was done as blind" to epthe
public off them till they could
make cleanup" would amount
to only a very little more ; so the
question arises, very naturally,
what became of the hundred or
more millions received for the
bonds and which the public
must pay in taxes ?" Where did
it go ? Is there some national
plot to play on the good roads
ideas of the people of the various
states, just to rob them, as has
been done in Arkansas and other
states ?
One farmer in every three in
Arkansas has been bankrupted
by the assessments against them,
some of the taxes amounting to
| more than twice the total value
of their property and i'll every
case the taxes exceeded the total
earnings of any year. Shall this
condition be allowed even to get
a peep into Virginia? Shall
Virginia farmers be forced to for
felt their lands for taxes? Shall
we allow a land-grabbers harvest
of this sort incur State
This is the most serious situd'
ton which has ever confronted
the people of this Common
wealth, and it certainly behooves
every farmer and every business
man and all who care for then
own selt-preservation to use their
utmost efforts to oppose any
movement to bring back the day:
of the "Readjusters' and to pu1
upon Virginia the conditions
obtaining in other states, all O.

Mrs. Berry who has been a
wilder for ten years and that is
long enough"

THE PLANTING

Who plants tree amy live
To see its leaves unfold,
The greenness of its summer garb,
Its autumn tinge of gold.
Who plants flower may live
To see its beauty grow,
The lily whiten on its stalk,
Tht rambler rose to blow.
Who sows the seed may find
The field of harvest fair,
The song of reapers ringing clear,
When all the sheaves are there.
But time will fell the tree,
The rose will fade and die,
The harvest time will pass away,
As does the song and sigh.
But whose plants in love,
The word of hope and trust,
Shall find it still alive with God
1t is not made of dust.
1t cannot fade or change,
Though worlds may scattered be,
For love alone has high repose
In Immortality.
Solicited.

OCTOBER CHARMS

Like lovely maiden
Decked for fete-day, laden
With the latest gifts the good earth yields,
Bright October goes
By way she knows
Which the STRAY wind shows
Through the fields.
All, she is not sober,-
Is this gay October:
Who has worn such crowns of yellow gold
Who has robes like these
Crimson draperies
Caught by autumn breeze
From her hold?
So divinely charming
All our gloom disarming
She the radiant priestess of the year.
Gospel of delight
Preaching with her might,
And in all her flight
Spreading cheer.
See her wondrous treasure
Heaped in fullest measure,
Dug from eartht, or brought from vine
and tree.
From geratest unto least,
Store for man and beast;
New wine for life's feast
Choice and free.
Go we forth to meet her;
Let your spirit greet her
Till the quiet of her gaze your being stills.
Follow where she strays
Down the shining ways,
Through the purple haze
By the hills.
This no month for sadness;
Note her sounds of gladness;
Autumn has its echoes of the spring.
For our soul was stirred
When today we heard
Voice of springs own bird
Blue of wing

WHEN THE LILIES OF FRANCE
CAME DOWN
CONTINUED from page y

tOOUCsUUSO yTOW PUVo II
occurred about seven years after the Bri-
tish occupation began, and fort and vii
lage were left far inland. The British
garrison was withdrawn, and the fort,
which had been the scene of SO much
romance and drama since its first Partisan
garrison arrived, fell gain under the spell
of the pristine solitude.
In 1888 Congress declared military
reservation one mile square, extending
above and below Fort Chartres. The
enactment did not provide for the preser-
walton of this monument of the most ro-
mantle era of frontier history, but simply
prevented any settlement upon the reser-
walton and left the fort to become part
of the wilderness. Time and neglect have
worked together; crumbling ruin is all
that attests the existence of the once splen-
did work where the lilies of France trailed
last to earth before the British invader,
who in turn, through the stubbornness and
blundering stupidity of incapable rulers,
was destined to lose authority over a
mighty continent.

OUR NEW NATIONAL HYMN

Oh, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Oh, beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stera, impassioned stress,
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
Oh, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who omre than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!
Oh, beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee;
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
