' l N. B. McDEVlTT Clerk Superior Court: This 28th day of July 1914. r.v, Julv3i A-7-14-21 Jars A Prose-Poem of th Season For All Who Love the Open Country and Whose Eyes Are Open to the . . ' Beauty Around Them , -THOUGH it is onlmid-August, 1 Nature has given unmistakaoie prophecies of the approach of fall. The martin have hatched -off their broocs and are now training them every afternoon -for, the iong migratory flight. Yesterday I watched thousands of. themide scendirig in a spiral whirl, lj&e a waterspout, into the top Of a mulberry tree on a vacant lot. The sparrows, too, are becoming gregarious, and are - in nocks about the lawn, eating the cfab- grass seed. . Jv Straggling specimens of golden- rod fringe the quiet lanes and highways; the tall late weeds in the meadows are beginning to blossom; and when you halt for a moment nnder the shade of some dense tree at , sunset, there is a sense of delicioinS coolness -about fhft tmnlps. Late in Aucust the sun begins to" glint among! the trees, the shadows grow longer and longer across the evening lawn: the strident, grasping note of the katydid is heard at 'night, the warning blast of his trnmpet a sort of nocturne he composes to the dying summer. ? - X Tha learos have onie time, ago reaah ed their WtijrUft ,ai' wJ become toueh and leathery, their stems now undergoing structural changes, preparatory to their period of beauty and decay. Both leaf and stem are involved in this interesting process. A live tree when cut down will hold its leavs until, they, dry up because they have not the assistance of Nature's subtle force. ' , The cloud-belt has now moved northward and thunderstorms are rare; I can no longer sit alone in the darkness and watch the dance of the lightning under the north star. The sky in the morning has become a clear, cool, speed well blue, while at sunset there is a golden mist in the atmosp here, and the sun seems suspend ed above the horizon's ring like some highly colored Japanese balloon. ' The flood-tide of summer is at its ebb: the midsumm,er dream is over. v Elder bushes' have ripen ed their berries for the hungry birds; the Traveller's Joy, with its tangled skeins, is everywhere upon the old rail fences, aiong quiet peaceful lanes the t. John's Wort is in blossom, and in the deep gloom of the swamps the Cardinal flower has lit its vivid flames. Peace broods upon tne bounteous fields; the deep woods are buiet cool and 5 mysterious-, save for t n e ; quanu-quaun . . . ( 1 -.M 'hunk-hank" of the nut thatch.'

Th(J sunset ' call of the farmer for his hogs, the bell of the cow as she browses to the milking, and the woodsman's axe all reverberate more and more distinctly. , v The wind now blows from , the north or northeast for a few hours and then shifts back to the south again. A battle is raging between the north and the south, a conflict between the flowers and the frosts.' All along the line the fighting is fierce and unyielding. The southward musters out' her cohorts, the roses and all the end- less flowers of the woods and fields; then Gen. Green charges the dragoons of winter with his phalanx of . corn waving and threatening tl,eir green sabres, and the cruel barbarian hordes of the north are for a time driven back. Finally there comes a day of overwhelming power, when rer sistance is useless and the North wind rejoices over the desolution, summer is driven from the plains, and her life blood poured out in the rich hues of the autumnal leaves.'.'--. .

A Modern Necessity Thft value of advertising is felt at three ends the merchant, the consumer, and the publisher. Through the medium of his ad vertisements,' the merchant ac quaints the. consumer with .the wares he has for sale, with tneir values and their attractive featur- es, and is nimseu- coiisiuuujr iu touch with the consumer. The consumer reads of the ffooda he wants, learns where to r,nA thom and saves the time of UUU hjv fruitless hunting from : pliioe to The nublishr is the go-between th medium of communication be tween the buyer and seller, a sort of public convenience, btrange no it mnv Rppm. he. too. has his CftO V J - " uses.

We can't even rock the boat. ' Plenty to eat, but how are we to get it? i Once past, the playtime of youth never returns. Better sell that European map while the selling is good. Dress goods going up" says a New York dispatch. Shocking? This boost in. the price of living is an excellent anti-fat remedy. We note a conspicuous absence of royalty on the firing line. The one incomorehensible thing in life is how a beef baron can keep out of jail. Possibly Europe is' adopting Uhe only method left for dispos ing of an overplus Qi population. "Godly "men "of bldod ! '.v Forty missionaries, chiefly French and German, have left China for their home countries to take their places in the armies. Our foodstuffs are accumulat ing, bumper crops are reported from every direction; we can t ship it to Europe. We have no ships in which to ship to South America, and yet we are forced. to pay higher prices war prices for what we eat.- Let the gov ernment ask why and compel the answer. It is not the fault of the small local retailer, nor is it the producer. It is the man between who should be in jail. The food question is causing grave concern in Europe. But that will soon adjust itself. At the present rate it is only a mat ter of a short time when there will hp, hnt few mouths left to feed. This country is afflicted with nn . much middleman. He is uvsv t numerous, he is greedy, rapaci ous, and never gets enough. He is a nrice fixer, a price booster, and his paw is in everyone's poc- ket. He is so; greedy he wouia snatch the moss from a grave Stone if he could sell it for break fast food. Swat the price boost ing middleman! rM.fn?n fina.nr5 ui interests in New York are seeking an oppor tunity to shin gold to Europe, anA inniilontlv v further enrich themselves at the expense of our country. If these human vuiiur es have such an overpowering ar Winn for Europe our govern ment would do well to ship them nvor there, bae and baggage. flAfc rid of the vultures, but keep the goW at nomc In common with other great men of the world, we proclaim our attitude as one of profound concern but strict individual neu , Wc cannot ; be drafeged info the muss.

The startling" announcement is made that the . "makin's" are in danger. The cigarette paper supply is about exhausted and no more can be imported from France or Austria. Let's mediate! Farmers will view with inter est the process of dismembering' the International Harvester Com pany, which a federal court hns ordered shall be done within the next ninety days. A little ' more competition in the manufacture ' of farm implements would not go amiss. The octopus has too many tentacles. ' How is it that when all the European Dorts are closed fo that we can not ship our food stuffs to those countries that the prices of necessary foodstuffs , keep soaring higher and higher., ... Supply and demand argument U not the key with which to unlock this situation. We'll have to get a new argument. It may be that President .Wilson has the right view of the matter. If, as he bo- lieves, the necessaries of life are monopolized by great concerns organized for that purpose and thes monopolies are forcing ut the prices under false pretenc s and unnecessary they should be severely dealt with. There is no shortage in the . food supply in this country. Ia fact, the war has prevented th. hipment of foodstuffs' to other eountries,; thereby increasing th e , supply on hand. And yet in the face of this overwhelming fac t the men in control of the mark ets in the large centers of popu lation have been forcing prices ud bv leaps and bounds, and there appears ' to be no end lo their insatiable greed. It is no more nor less than a case of gouge, a holdup robbery, the meanest and vilest kind of thiev ery, because it falls hardest on those who are least able to affonl it. It is time for the government to act, and act promptly. Jail the cusses and. try ' them after ward. Enthusiasm ENTHUSIASM is the greatest asset in the world. It beats mon- pv and nower and influence. ' . Single-handev the enthusiast con vinces and dominates where the wealth accumulated by a small army of workers would scarcely. raise a tremor of. interest. thnsiasm tramDle over prejudice and opposition, spurns inaction, storms the citadel of its objeci , and like an avalanche overwhelms and engulfs all obstacles.
