w ifi TODAY'S POEM ThE GOAL. The storm came down about my brow; The mad rain lashed my face; Uut ne'er did I forget my vow. E'en though it seemed Time, Tide and Space Conspired against my word. The storm 1 felt; the thunder heard; 3ut neither could 1 see, For afar the shimmering light still beckoned me. 1 saw only my beacon light Flare far against the West, And I must reach it ere the night Calls to eternal rest. The wailing winds rapt me round With terrors of Despair; But my soul would not be bound, And stumbling on o'er many snare 1 neither laughed nor wept. Around me many shadows crept, And yet I did not- see. For afar the shimmering lights still beckoned me. 1 only saw my beacon light Burn bright against the West, And ere the darkness falls witn night I must have reached the crest. J. W. Bain.

Hovis, of the City Hospital corps. 31 For a Tip-Top Serve New Post Toasties Here's the why: The New Toasties have a delicate, true corn flavour un matched by any other corn flakes. Trial proves. They are the meat of choicest white Indian Corn-first cooked and seasoned, then rolled into thin wisps and toasted by quick, intense rotary heat. This new patented process of making rases distinguishing little bubbles on each flake, and brings out their wonderful new flavour.

ForCTOO years every prince of the touse of Reus has beeu christened Henry, with a distinguishing numeral, but the task of Identifying thn la ren dered doubly difficult ow ing to the ex istence of two braucbes. ea b of which ha a different s.vsteni of numeration. The elder line begins the numbering new after each batch of 100 Henrys, whereas the younger line gtes by the centuries, numbering Us princes as they are born from I. upward through each complete hundred years. The territo ries of the two branches comprise lit tle more than 400 square miles, divided into Ueuss-Sehlelz-Gera and Reuss Greii. For centuries the Montenegro of the Germanic countries, both branches Joined the German confedera tion In 1815, but the elder line (Reuss Grelz) sided with Austria In 18GG, and the principality narrowly escaped be ing incorporated with Prussia. West minster Gazette. Spain as Republic. Isabella II. when thirteen years old was declared of age by the cortes In 1846. and after a Btormy reign of twen ty-five years was deposed by a revolu tion which began in the fleet on Sept 18, 18G8, and was Jolued by the garri son and city of Cadiz and by nearly all of Spain during the month. A pro visional government was established nnd Marshal Serrano was made regent. The cortes voted for a monarchy on May 21, 18G0, and after several offers of the throne had been refused it was finally accepted by Amadeus. duke of Aosta, who was proclaimed king on Nov. 7, 1870. After an uncomfortable reign he ab dlcated In 1873 and was succeeded by another republic, which lasted for two years, when Alfonso XII., son of Queen Isabella and father of the pres ent king, was elevated to the throne. Artificial Indigo. Artificial indigo owes much of Its commercial success to an accident. Al though synthetic indigo was first pro duced in 1870, It did not become a se rious rival to the natural article un til a thermometer was accidentally broken and the contents of the bulb ran into the heated mixture of naph tbalene that was all too slowly being converted into pbthalic acid, the basis of artificial indigo. It was then ob served that the conversion became much more rapid, and from that day the use of mercury has played a big part In making artificial Indigo a com mercial success. The accident occur red after years of patient research, and it is now tbe boast of chemists that they are able to produce on a commercial basis a compound "exactly the same" as natural indigo. London Standard. Frederick the Great'e Joke. Among tbe embellishments which Berlin owes to Frederick the Great the "new palace" is the- most conspicuous. This magnificent building was erected it is said, to show Frederick's enemies that bis many wars bad not exhausted his exchequer. And further to show his contempt for tbe countries which had sought to crush him at the top of the cupola he placed a group of three women dancing together, the figuring representing Catherine the Great. Ma ria Theresa and Mme. de Pompadour The wrath of the two empresses was unbounded at finding themselves de picted in such an attitude and such company, so Frederick was able to con gratulate himself on a thoroughly suc cessful Joke. Recognizing Book Lover. You may recognize the book lover as soon as you glance at his shelves, though they may be few. Some peo ple, especially servants, if allowed to interfere, marshal books according to colors, as they would like to buy them by the yard. Not so the book lover (I mean the man who loves books for their contents). He is kind to his books and. knowing they have souls, wishes them to live happily together. He would not. to take an extreme case, sandwich "Bradshaw" between "Stones of Venice" and "Modern Paint ers." London Globe. Tunnel. A New York newspaper remarks that "ferries come and ferries go. bridges rise and bridges fall, but tunnels last forever." There Is a scientific truth in the observation. Of all works of man earthworks, plain eartli mounds sod ded over, are about the most enduring. A properly constructed tunnel is essen tially a work in earth and so almost as permanent as the great globe itself. Exchange. Advice. Married Man Not married yet? Old Chum No. I'm not.

COMMISSION Kit GRA HAM'S llMI'OKT. lteport SIhwh llalance in TreuMury to Credit of Department of 4.l, 72H tp Conditions Treat ment of Hok Cholera. Commissioner of Agriculture W. A. Graham submitted his annual re port to the State Board of Agricul ture Monday, June 12th. This report shows $ 1 8 , 7 6 C re ceipts of the Department for the six months period, December 1 to June 1, 1916, with a balance In the treas ury to the credit of the Department of $4:',, "UK including $11,748 Tor outstanding warrants. The fertiliz er tonnage for the past Bix months was .":i(..'4 h compared with r77, t;."7 for the corresponding season last year. The revenue of the Department the past six months included $10, ;'.(, on fertilizer taRs; $80,876 on cotton seed meal; $17,:! 4 4 on feed; $11,919 on hos serum; $K,(i94 on test farm revenue; $!4,r97, from lime work; $4,600 from bleached flour tax. Concerning the recent primaries and the department status with the people Commissioner Graham makes this statement in his report: "By a majority in three-fourths of the counties as represented in the primary election, all accusations of senile Infirmity on the part of the Commissioner, or lack of progress in the work of the Department, have been rebuked and the work approv ed by the large majority cast for the re-nomination for re-election of the present Commissioner. "An advance of $ I o, 000, 000 per year in the value of agricultural crops for six years, an annual In crease of .".,000,0110 bushels of corn and more than a supply of flour to feed the State, and raising from twentieth to fifteenth place in the value of crops, are not signs of ret rograde and seems to have been con vincing to the voters." The Commissioner's report shows a shortage of about I'.o per cent in the wheat crop, compared with last season; oat crop short about "0 per cent: prospects fine for corn, cotton, tobacco and sweet potatoes. The soja bean is fast becoming a staple crop, with three mills already estan- lished for the extraction of oi! ana manufacture of meal. The National Department .ias r o tified the State Department of Api culture that it will disconinue it? co-oierati ve work for the eradica tion of hog cholera, and suggests that the work be carried on by the formation of clubs. Has Faith Mrs. H. S. Carlson, of Wakefield, Xebr., testifies to the re lief Hhe experienced from the use of Fruitola ami Traxo: "I used Fruitola and Traxo with very good results, having passed almost a cupful of gall-stones with the first bottle. My skin is clear now. and I have a good appetite. I have lots of faith in Fruitola and Traxo." Pruitola is a powerful lubricant for the intestinal organs, Moftenlng the hardened particles that cause so much suffering and expelling the congested watfe in aa easy, natural manner. A single dose is usually sufficient to clearly indicate its efficacy.. Traxo Is a splendid tonic-alterative that acts on the. liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices ro aid digestion and removes bile from the general circulation. : 5 - For convenience of the public, arrangements have been made to supply Fruitola and Traxo through representative druggists, la Gastonia they can be obtained at J, L Adams lrng Store, opposite new poitoffice. .
