LIE SOUL OF A VIOLIN

When twilight shadows grow deeper
/ dream in the after glow,
And ghostly ECHOES awaken
Memories, of long ago.
The sobbing of a violin
Floats out, and signs with the breeze
And a misty form seems swaying,
Out there, among the tail trees.
A dear, girlish form so slender
With violin so rare,
And the moonbeams pause and nestle
In a mass of gold brown hair.
Her eyes so deep and fathomless,
Rests on the delicate bow,
And wonderful music's drifting,
To blend, with the twilights glow.
Now the roar of distant waters
In chasms fearfully deep,
Then the sound grows fainter fainter,
Like a babe just gone to sleep,
hear sharp crash of thunder,
Now the rain in anger pours-
Then-the chant of dusky negroes,
way down on some southern shores.
Now she hesitates so gently,
While a nightbird sweetly sings
A flying note breaks softly, like
The flutter of angels wings.
What's that? All Godi I'm listening
TO passion so fierce with stress,
Now--an echo moaning, moaning
Like lost soul in distress.
What is that queer sound I'm hearing?
1t is dwarfs I do believe,
They are playing ninepins gaily,
And fairy garments they weave.
Now I hear the prance and patter,
OF numberless childish feet,
They frolic out in the moonlight.
With laughter so pure and sweet.
Nearer, nearer, and still nearer
The strings now tell me of Love,
And a nightingale chirps gladly,
From some tree top just above.
Now a lullaby is grooming
From some mothers, happy breast,
AS she rocks her first-born baby,
Just before 1t goes to rest.
Time goes, still am waiting,
Listening yet
I've missed the things which really
count
And my eyes with tears are wet.
Ny hands grope out in the darkness,
TO find your fair, lovely face
But my heart is cut in madness,
For / find just empty space.
Rosa Lee Mabrie.

Tariff Conference is
Now Under Way
Indications are Bill May Be Dead
locked In Conference Five
or Six Weeks

Washington. Aug. 25.-The confer
ence on the Fordney-McCumber pro-
tective tariff bill got under way today
As the ten conferees met TO WORK
out a compromise on the more than
1000 amendments adopted by the sen
ate. it was evident the first real test
would be on the American or foreign
valuation plans.
Both Chairman McCumber, OF the
Senate Finance ommittee. and Repre-
sentative Fordney. father of the
House measure. declared they would
not Weld on the valuation question.
Other confereeS also were extremely
hostile to any suggestion OF a COM
promise.
With the split so wide. there was a
growing sentiment that the bill would
he deadlocked in conference for hve
or six weeks. and Congressional lead

could be negotiated at :his session.
The senate's flexible tariff feature
house conferees said, is not satisfac-
tory. aud they declared a strenuous
attempt to modify the sweenlng rate

dent will be made.

Washington, Aug. 25.-lnforma-
ton from government sources that
the railroads Of the country are not
moving less than 80 per cent of the
normal freight traffic Of the country
was placed before President Hard
ing's cabinet today. during a meet
ing devoted almost entirely to dls-
cuSsion Of the rail strikes nulllhca-
ton of the benefits Of the coal settle
ment.
claims of the railroads to the con-
trarv. that the railroads have not
beer able to move all the freight
given a priority status. This freight
which is given the right of way on
the roads was said to comprise about
60 per cent of the normal traffic.
If this inability to handle traffic
increases, the government soon will
be forced to take steps to insurse adj
eauate transportation facilities to
avert suffering and industrial stag
nation throughout the country, one
official said
With the beneficial effects Of the
coal settlement threatened with null
lifcation because of the cripulings Of
III railroads by the shopmen's strike,
pessimism was prevalent among cab
met members as they emerged from
the White House.
Virtually none of the bumper
crops that America has raised this
wear have been moved, and unless
these products soon are marketed the
farmers will sustain big losses, it
was stated.
With the probability that coal pro-
duction soon will be back to normal,
the railroads due to the poor condi-
ton on their equipment will fall far
short Of meeting the heavy trans
portation demands Of the fall months,
which have been made much greater
because of the delay i'm moving coal,
cron. and other things.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railrod has written
Secretary of War Weeks that it W

its trains because it mas found that

SEEDMEN Hold
CONFERENCE
IN this CITY
Representatives From Bal
timOre Seed Houses
Present
INFORMAL TALKS
L. T. Berry Presides-Address BY
G. 7. French, BOtamist in Charge
of Seed Laboratory.

Under the direction of G. W.
Koiner, commissioner OF agriculture
of the state, conference is being
held today in the parlors of the
chamber of commerce with the seed
men of this city and surrounding
counties, which is being presided
over by L. T. Berry, chief clerk in
charge of the enforcement of the
sed inspection law. Attending the
conference are number of repre-
sentatives of seed dealers from Bal
timore.
There was an address by G, T.
French, botanist in charge of seed
laboratory, whose topic was "The
use of quality seed and uniform
methods of tagging"
John w May, of this city, is at
tending the conference. The confer
ence was entirely informal and there
was a general discussion following
the address of Mr. French.
One of the principal objects Of the
seed law is to encourage the use Of
good seed, high in purity and germi-
nation and low weed seed content,
and to keep off the markets of the
State, so far as practicable, low
grade and cheap seed. Agricultural
experts throughout the country are
convinced from field tests and as a
result Of many observations that
there is practically no cheap seed
worth what it costs. Unfortunately
there is a gret tendency on the part
of our frmers to look at the price
rather than at the quality of the
seed. This is a very unfortunate mis-
take and frequently is direct cause
for the loss of a croD. In order to
correct this point of view and to
carry the gospel of high quality seed
to seed dealers direct, that they
may assist the department in bring
ing this important feature of agri-
culture to the attention of our farm
ers. the State department of agricul-
turo during the month of July held
similar conferences with seed dealers
at the FOLLOWING points: Norfolk, Pc
tersburg, Richmond, Farmville,
Lynchburg, Roanoke and Bristol.
