all will help to boost this class.

dent; Paul Lewis, treasurer; Cleo

Newton despairingly.

The boys crossed the ridge to the
wooded valley in which nestled the
Simms cabin. They found Mrs. Simms
greatly exercised in her mind because
young McGeehee had been found play
ing with some blue yitriol used by
Raymond In his school work on the
treatment of seed potatoes for scab.
His hands was all blue with it,"
said she. DO you reckon, Mr.. New
ton, that it'll pizen himf"
Did he swallow any of it?" asked
Newton.
"Nabl' said McGeehee scornfully.
Newtoa treasured Mrs. Simms, and
went away pensive. Jim TWINS meth
DDS had already accomplished much in
preparing Newton and Raymond for
citizenship. He had shown them the
fact that voting really has some re-
lation to life. At present, however,
the new wine in the old bottles was
causing Newton to forget his flial
duty, and his respect for his father.
He wished he could lock him up In
the barn so he couldn't go to the
school election. He wished he could
become ill-or poisoned with blue
vitriol or something-so his father
would be obliged to go for a doctor.
He ~wished-well, why couldn't he get
sick? Newton mended his pace, and
looked happier.
"Fll fix him |" said he to himself.
"What times the election, Ez7"
asked Mrs. Bronson at breakfast.
I'm goln' at four O'clock" said
Ezra. "And l don't want to hear any
more from any one"-looking at New
ton-"about the election. It's non of
the business of the women an boys"
Newton took this reproof in an IN
expectedly submissive spirit. In fact,
he exhibited his very best side to the
family that morning, like one going or
a long journey, or about to be married
off, or engaged in some deep dark
plot.

CHAPTER xiv
A Minor Casts Half a Vote.

March came in like neither a lion
MOI a lamb, but was scarcely a week
old before the wild ducks had begun to
score the sky above Bronson's slew
looking for open water and badly
harvested cornfields. Wild geese, too,
honked from on high as if in wonder
that these great prairies on which their
forefathers had been wont fearlessly
TO alight had been changed into a dis
gushing expanse of farms. Colonel
WOodruff'S hired man, Pete, stopped
Newton Bronson and Raymond Simms
as they tramped across the %colonel's
pasture, gun in hand, trying to make
themselves believe that the shooting
was good.
This amt no country to hunt in"
said he. Did either of you fellows
ever have any real duck-shooting?'

Pete. "Some wood-ducks, / suppcse?"
along the creeks and rivers, yes,
seh,' said Raymond, but nothing to
depend on"
I've never been nowhere" said
Newton, Except once to Minnesota
and-and that wasn't in the shooting
season."
A year ago Newton would have
boosted of having 'bummed" his way
to Faribault. His hesitant speech was
a proof of the embarrassment his new
respectability sometimes inflicted upon
him.
II used to shoot ducks for the mar
ket at Spirit Lake." said Pete. II know
Fred Gilbert just as well as l know
you. But that's all over. now. You've
got to go so fur now TO get decent

NEW SHORT FUR COATS;
KNITTED TIES FOR WOMEN

TT BECOMES evident with the prog

fashionable and will continue in favor,

jacket has come into its own again
and is seen in many new and attrac-

Low IN the HOLY Ghost

"The Kingdom Of God is joy" When
our life is righted with God. when
there comes into our hearts an IN
broken peace, there also springs up in
the life a deep and quiet JOY. Is
righteousness the pole star of our
lives? Is peace the music of our
hearts? II 50, there springs up in
our hearts JOY, but not as the world
counts joy no earthly passion. no
transltory excitement, but the inward
satisfaction OF Joy in the Holy Ghost.

FIVE FLAGS SEEN AT
 MOBILE DURING DAY
German, British, Norwe-

MOBILE, Ala, July 2s-After an otherwise exceedingly busy week, Saturday was somewhat of a dull day when but two ships arrived and three departed. One of the outstanding fea- lures of the day, however, was the wide assortment of nationalities rep resented in the arrivals, departures. enterings and clearings. Five differ ent flags were flown by ships nov ing in the local harbor. A German and a British steamer arrived, and while all three leaving were Ameri can, the two clearing were Norwegian and Dominican. The latter two will sail Sunday.
 As was the case last week, Sunday promises to be a rather busy day, for two ships are to leave while at least three are expected to arrive, there being a number at the quarantine station Saturday. The Munson liner, Bessegen (Norwegian) leaves for Cuban ports and the Eloise Y Maria Dominican republic) leaves for Santo Domingo and Barahana, in the Dominican republic. The three ex pected arrivals are the Florence Luckenbach, two Mobile liners, Nor mannia. R. V. and J. s. Taylor and the Ossaba, Mallory line.
 Around 5000 tons of a varied cargo will be carried out from the port to- day when the Munson liner, Besseg- gen, sails for Cienfuegos, Santiago, Guantanamo and Manzaniilo with the first-mentioned port receiving the largest shipment The chief com modity was lumber totaling GOO. 900 superficial feet or 1.200 tons.

Leaders Still Hope
 To Escape WaIkout

WILKEsBARRE Pa. July 2S.-- There is every hope here that the anthracite miners and operators Will vet find a solution of their ditfl- culties and avoid the strike threat ened for September 1.
 Students of the situation who are in close touch with developments said Saturday. night that the break in the first conference at Atlantic City Friday meant little.
 The same situation has been re- hearsed before. In previous years seN- eral conferences have broken mp but 1IsualIy an agreement was found be- fore the date for strike was reached.
 With public opinion set so strongly against q Walkout and the govern ment in Washington threatening to take a hand in the proceedings 1t IS thought both sides will soon see fit to compromise their previous de- mands so that an equitable contract may be drawn up.
 There remains full month to ac- complish the settlement before a walkout Both representatives of miners and operators point out that the conference at Atlantic City ad- iourned subject to the call of the secretary at the request of either party.
 The miners in the fields are strong -ly behind their leaders in the demand for increased pay recognition of the United Mine Workers and adoption of the check off They are willing enough to strike if the call comes.
 Coal production in the region is continuing around normal. Weekly coal shipments are amounting to nearly 2,000,000 tons.
