THE CARELESS SMOKER
Courtesy j. A. Lindstrom)

A fool there was and his pipe he lit
Even as you and y
On forest trail where the leaves
were fit
To become ablaze from the small,
est bit
Of spark-and the fool he furnish
ed it
The day was windy and dry.
The forest was burned to its very
roots,
Even beneath the ground,
With the flowers, the birds and
the poor dumb brutes,
Old hOary oaks, and the tender
shoots
Which might have made logs for
such galoots
Allowed to wander around.
The lumber jack has now passed
His payday comes no more
And the screech-owls haunt the
camp at dawn
Where the cooks tin pan woke
the men of Drawn
But the mill is silent, the trees are
gone,
The soil and the forest floor,
A deadly sight are those hills Of
rocks
Where once were beds of
green
No hope for the human, no food
for the flocks
The floods must be held by expen-
sive locks
And the harbor is silted to the
docks,
The ships no more are seen.
But the fool smokes on in the for
est still
Leaves camp-fires burning too
While the patient public pays the
bill
And the nations wealth is des-
troyed fornil
If the law doesn't get him, Old Sa-
tan will
When his smoking days are
through.

expected to be present at the first,
evening session and to deliver an ad
dress along religious lines. The coun
ell sermon will be preached by Rev.

One of the most interesting sessions
will be that Of Tuesday night, October
27. when Chief Justice William How
ard Taft will speak on international
relations and will be followed by the
Ambassador from Great Britain and
by the Ambassador from France.
Among the questions to be brought
before the council for discussion and
action are:
The merging OF all the missionary
societies into two organizations.
committee has been working on this
subject during the last two years and
has presented a tentative report that
all the boards with resources of over
$50 ,000,00 and annual income Of over
$4,000, 900 be merged into two boards,
one for the foreign work and one for
the home work.
1t is proposed to merge three wom-
ans foreign societies Into the one for
eign board and the Home Missionary
Federation into the Home Society.
Many women oppose this plan, as they
feel they will not have as much
charge of spending their own money
as they now enjoy and that the women
of the churches will not be as inter
ested in the general work as they now
are in their own enterprises. Some
women, however, advocate the merger

number of churches will be reported
as $3.50, loss Of LAG churches in two

The election of moderator, which
takes place the first session, Is OF great
interest. There is much sentiment for
a layman for this meeting, and former
Gov. Sweet of Colorado, F. J. Har-
wood of Appleton, Wis, and Fred b
Smith Of New York have been nomi'
mated Others no doubt will be sug-
gested Among ministers the follow

SEE A RETURN
TO KNEE BREECHES
JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN A
CENTURY SINCE TROUSERS
CAME INTO STYLE.

Men, it's just little more than a
century ago since long trousers began
to come into fashion Beau Brummel,
the celebrated English society leader,
had introduced them few years be-
fore His daring example had been
copied by the "dandies" OF the day.
But most men held back, especially
the conservative Substantial" ones.
They considered long trousers a
childish form of masquerade and were
afraid they would look ridiculous if
they bandoned knee-breeches.
Today it's the other way around.
After a century the pendulum
swings and knee breeches are said to
be coming back. They are worn by
golfers, engineers and other men of
the outdoors, and on camping trips
and mixers.
Judging by ease and comfort a
great many men-if truth were known

Why not? Alas, in their community
association men have acquired a tim
idity and sense OF shame in anything
not conforming to the crowd. Long
trousers are the co." and it's bra

COTTON INSUFFICIENT COL
LATERAL FOR LOANS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Steps to in
duce farmers of the south to diversity
their crops and not plant too much
acreage in cotton, but more in food
and feed crops, were taken at con-
ference OF bankers and agricultural
leaders from Tennessee, Mississippi
and Arkansas in session here today.
The representatives attending the
conference adopted resolutions in
which they declare that money loaned
TO finance cotton growing is not prop
erly protected until crops are diversi-
fed so as to insure the raising OF SUI
hcient crops OF food TO care for stock
during the winter months and a por-
ton OF the needs of the table.
The resolutions recommend that a
or secondary money
crop be grown on each farm in addi-
ton to cotton, which they recognize
as the principal product raised from
a financial standpoint. As a means OF
bringing this about it is recommended
that business and professional men,
farmers and agriculturists get togeth-
er in every county and work out an
agricultural program.

GEORGIA FIGURES
SHOW BLOODY RECORD
WERE 2,751 SUICID E S AND
HOMICIDES IN THE STATE
IN FOUR YEARS TIME.

ATLANTA, Ga-A total of 2,75l
suicides and homicides were commit
ted in the state OF Georgia during the
four years beginning 1920 and lasting
through 1928, and OF this number l.
943 met their deaths as the direct re-
suit of wounds by pistols or firearms,
or an average OF 70 per cent OF both
suicides and homicides, according to
data compiled by Dr. w. A. Davis,
director of the bureau of vital Stats
tics OF the state board of health.
During the four year period there
were recorded a total OF 642 suicides.
Homicides committed during the same
period registered 200, of which num-
Der 1880 resulted from the use of pis-
tolls or other firearms.
Another significant fact revealed in
the data compiled by the bureau OF
vital statistics is that there is notice
able a gradual increase in the suicides
and homicides in each OF the years
from 1920 to 1928.
