Camas Prairie
BY Neva Rhoades

|
When first 1 gazed upon this prairie
fair
The sun was slowly sinking in the
west,
And nature was preparing for her rest.
A golden glimmer floated through the
air
While shadows softly rose from here
and there,
And stole so silently upon the crest
That birds once more began to seek
their rest;
And peace did reign and take away
all care.
The beauty of the sun so held my gaze
Before 1 was aware the moonbeam's
rays
Were streaming slowly DER the noun
tain top,
And DER the prairie did so softly drop
Reflecting DER the prairie their pale
light,
I had to marvel at the wondrous
sight.

Sonnet i
BY Maxine Arnold


Afar across the oceans farther rim,
'Tis there beneath the emerald south
ern skies,
Alone a fairy coral island lies
And when the moon beams, ghostly'
soft and dim,
Der the towering mountain spectres
grim,
Fall softly; and the mournful nign'
wind sighs.
'Tis said a lovely mermaid comes
and cries
Der a lonely grave near the waters
surging brim.
The tossing breakers chant funerai
dirge
To the angry roar of the wild waves
urge.
When at last there appears a hea'en-
ly golden ray,
The stately herald of newborn u"s'
The mermaid, eyes dim with misery
and widest grief,
Then sinks beneath the silent cor"i
reef

$4,000 PROFITS INVOLVED
Englishman Caught When Gasoline
Supply Runs Short.

BY Radio to The Star and Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Copyright. 1928
LONDON, January 16.-Robert Gra-
ham Fothergill, recently arrested
in a thirty-ton motorboat off Fire
Island with about $4,000 in his
pocket, is In Ill repute with the London
stockholders of his bootlegging busi-
ness. For all they know 600-ton
auxiliary schooner which cleared for
Bermuda several weeks ago Is still
lying Off the Jersey coast with 1,b00
cases Of whisky aboard. while Foth-
ergill does nothing to dispose of the
valuable stock.
Statement by "Bhcker.o-
It appears from the conversation of
one Of his hackers and q disinterested
friend that Fothergill. instead OF en-
barking with his cargo like any ro-
mantle bootlegger, dispatched from
Britain an auxiliary schooner pur-
chased in Germany and registered as
of whisky, while he himself sailed for
New York by a big liner.
Like all the best bootleggers, the
craft cleared for Bermuda. where on
its arrival the men struck for more
pay and a crew Of Bermudans was
signed on At an appropriate time. so
runs the story here, Fothergil1 left
New York, where he was living at the
Waldorf, to draw the proceeds OF
sales. But. according to local infor-
nation, he had neglected to enlist
the aid of authorities who could move
to interfere with the success of his
trading. He simply chartered a big
motorboat. picked up the schooner
twenty miles out and started back to
New York with the cash. But when
his gasoline ran out he was picked
up by revenue men, who apparently
were trailing him.
Interested persons do not pretend
that all the $4,000 was realized ON
500 cases.
Cite the "Better way.s
According to revelations in the best
bootlegging circles in London. the prop
er way to do business Is within the
law-not only to keep outside the
twelve-mile limit, but to stay twenty
or twenty-five miles out and thus avoid
contact even with revenue officers Aof
the most friendly attitude.
Sir Broderick Hartley, say investors
In the Fothergill scheme, might be ex-
pected to fail in bootlegging operations
because his was really more Of stock
jobbing proposition than anything else,
but Fothergill. a former hostler who
married well. was expected to produce
real results.

IMPERILED.

A crop worth two billion dollars
a year is imperiled by the "borer" in
sect now advancing westward into the
corn belt.
If a foreign nation started fight
ing US to make US pay that much IN
demnity a year, every one would rally
against it.
Why do we submit tamely, almost
indifferently, to insect enemies while
similar sonslaughts from rival nations
would start us enthusiastically on
the warpath? One reason is that pro-
fessional patriots, war bankers, NUM-
ton makers and propagandists can't
make large and sudden fortunes rous-
ing the mob against insects,
