Rural Rhymes
Valentines

The rose is red and the violet blue, this
Valentine is Deant for you. The February
days are classy, our good resolves are not yet
brassv. The rose is red, the lily white some
couples fall in love at sight; to bring. some
others into line requires saint like Vaen-
tine and not another month | wot a spiffy
saint like him has got. The second month
with him alone can well for lack of length
atone This is the month when lovers kiss
and lie little too l wis; for each will swear,
then swear some more, that neither ever low
ed before. The rose is red the chestnut green,
they spring some chestnuts too | ween. But
though their vows be trite and old no whittier
lies are ever told, for she tells him and he
tells her not what they are but wish they,
were. So let them wander hand in hand and
heart to heart in faryland. | too will rise
and thumb my Tyre, [ too will share their
youthful fire. Yea though my bald dome
Shiny is and though you creak with rheuma--
tiz the rose is red the violet blue love still
has sweets for me and You

Industries, discloses some interesting facts.
The figures show that more than 100000
motor cars Of all kinds were in use in the
United States during the year. On these cars

100000 were paid. New York state leads III
the total number Of cars; California leads in
proportion of cars to population having one
car to every $40 persons. South Dakota IS
in second place with one car to every 9.55
persons, and Nebraska is in third place with

CREAMER1Es IN SOUTH GEORGIA.

From the Pearson Tribune.
A creamery and a creamery station are dit
ferent propositions. A creamery IS the factory
where cream is made into butter and prepared
for market and the consumer. A creamery
station is a place where cream is tested for
its value in butter fat before shipping to the
creamery or factory. Each community should
have a station, but too many Creamerie5
would spoil the industry. There are now three
in Southwest Georgia-Moultrie Ashburn and
Dawson.

A contemporary, noting the story that the

The presentation of the idea OF Miss Pet

1t is splendid that a young woman OF q

it far more important to have their goloshes

solete warships to junk men at very low

hope to salvage material worth 100000. That

The individual who is constantly advertis-
ling his patriotism isn't held in very high re-
gard by the Early County News, which says
Not he who boasts of his patriotism makes
the best kind OF patriot, but he who obeys
the laws OF the land, discharges cheerfully
his duties as a citizen, who provides well for
his home, whose character is clean, and who
by the honest industry adds to the prosperity
and welfare to society. Patriotism does not
boast. When, therefore, some one pirates
fondlv OF his love OF country the probability
is there is a selfish motive in it all, and he
will bear watching.

New Haven Roads s Re- quest for Restraining Order Will Be Argued in Court on Next Tues- day Morning.
Harding Hopes Railroads
 Will Accept His Terms, Though Strikers Are Re. ported as Absolutely Op- posed.

New Haven, Aug. 1o.-Ob1ectiont made to the application of the N. Y. N. H. & H, railroad for an injunc- ton restraining strikers from alleged illegal picketing, made by counsel for the striking shopmen were over-ruled by Judge E. S. Thomas in the United States District court today. In deny- ing the motion to dismiss the appli. cation Judge Thomas set August 16 at 10 a, m. in this city as the time and place for hearing the case on it1 merits
 The objections were based upon the contention that the application for the restraining order had not been properly sworn to as required by tho Clayton act. Judge Thomas ruled that the verifcation on the bill of complaint submitted by the railroad company is sufficient compliance with the provisions of the Clayton act.
 Judges Decision.
 In his decision Judge Thomas said:
 "The verifcation on the original bill of complaint is sufficient compli- ance with the provisions of section 20 of the Clayton act. The applica- tion for temporary restraining order is properly verified
 "The first prayer for relief in tho bill is, in law, sufficient application for temporary restraining order.
 This ruling disposes of the point raised and argued August 8. The Tn have been carefully considered and oral argument on the same is un- necessary and I find no substantial question of law raised therein.
 "The motion to dismiss is therefore denied and the case may proceed on the merits"
