The river sings a song or so
Down from hill to hollow,
And the waters as they flow
Murmur, “follow, follow.”
“Hide and seek among the hills,
Velveting a valley.
Churning with a score of rills
And a river alley;
Mirroring the willow woods
Murmurous and merry,
Gaugeing up the summer goods
Passing ford and ferry; *
Bearing on my bosom up
Cowbell, lily, clover
And the meadow buttercup
Golden river rover.
Here the blossoms floating far
From their berry bushes
Seem bodied shadows of a star
Bathing in the rushes,
Here the apple and the grape.
There the plum and cherry,
Half a shadow, half a shape,
Boasts the bouyant berry;
Over mill and under race
Down from mount to meadow,
There the sunshine on my face,
Here the shell and shadow;
Over root and under tree
Leaving man and maiden,
In myself themselves they see
Till forever laden
'With a kiss and with a tear
On I flow forever
Under woodland, under weir
Clear, contented never.
Cabin by the waterside,
Boatman by the bank,
Tremble in the yellow tide
Os my deep and dank;
On my bosom the canoe
And the dugout dreameth
As some cloud across the blue
Shape and shadow seemeth,
And the skiffs as feathers fly
Light as lovers’ laughter
When the sun is in the sky
And the noon is after;
Farm and village, village, farm,
Fishing—flat in motion.
All upon this veinous arm
Os the River Ocean.

Prices
This season when all shoes
are abnormally high and coupled
wiili the high cost of practically
everything needed, you must be
careful of your shoe selection.
We have shoes, large stocks,
bought early in the year, before
the recent sky-high raise in price
and have not taken advantage of
this situation. Our customers tell
us they buy better shoes here for
the same or less money than in
ferior grades are selling for else
where.

♦ IF. ♦
If I can dry one tear today,
Hold back one soul that wants to
stray,
Or show to one the Higher Way,
My life will fuller be.
If I can speak one soothing word,
Inspire a talent, yet unstirred,
Or cheek some sentence, best unheard,
My life will fuller be.
If I can spare of my scant store
A mite to cheer some life more poor,
If some lost hope I can restore.
My life will fuller be.
If I can keep my thoughts all pure.
My words all kind, my deeds are sure
Some heart from even to allure,
And life will fuller be.

“PRY” WELL UNDER SUGAR
PRICES; TO GO HIGHER STILL!
|
ATLANTA, Ga., April 24.—One of
the first sacrifices on the altar of war
is going to be the national sweet tooth,
and it is quite probable that Southern
people who are old enough to remem
ber the privations of the Civil war, 1
and the subsequent reconstruction pe
riod, will again be teaching the
younger generation the art of sweet
ening coffee and tea with syrup and
molasses. I
Already high in pTice, sugar is
mounting higher and higher, and
wholesale grocers declare the end Is
not yet in sight. They say they ex
pect to see sugar so precious in a few
months that none but millionaires can
use as much as they have been ac
customed to in normal times, while
caniy will become a luxury In which
none but the rich can indulge.
The Cuban revolution is given as
cne of the first contributing causes to
the high price of sugar. In the unset
tled conditions caused by the revolu- j
tion the production and shipment of;
sugar were both curtailed and now
that the revolution is over the supply
of ships is becoming smaller and
smaller.

LONDON TRIYNG OUT NEW
COMMUNAL FEEDING SYSTEM
LONDON, April 24.—Communal feed
ing was established on a large scale
in London this month under direction
cf the food controller. The kitchen of
the largests hotel in London will be
utilized for preparing the food, which
will be distributed over a wide area by
means of local depots.
The intention at present is not so
much to provide cheap food for poor
persons, as to provide economically
prepared food for all classes, the idea
being thus to conserve available sup
plies. Mrs. Pember Reeves, woman di
rector of the food controller’s office,
defined the new move as follows:
“We have a central kitchen where
food can bo cooked in the most eco
nomical way, so that the best possible
use is made of the supplies available.
We shall not bake bread. We shall
hope by providing nourishing and pal
atable meals to get the people to eat
more of their meat ration and so ligh
ten the consumption of bread, which is
the most important thiig just now.
We shall take foods that are compara
tively plentiful, such as the salted fish
yvhich is coming on the markets in
large quantities, and make it into a
great variety of attractive dishes. It is
rot a question of money-saving, but
of proving that the sound scientific
handling of food by a skilled staff is
economy in food.
“■With such a kitchen we ought to
be able to feed 10,000 persons with
the same food which would have fed
5,000 if prepared in badly managed
private kitchens. We shall be ready
to supply meals to dukes and duch
esses from the kitchen as well as
working people. It will not be a res-1
taurant, but a distributing center from
which a large number of local depots
are supplied daily with prepared food
for sale. There is no question of
philanthropy. It is hoped that the
kitchen will be self-supporting. At the
present time many poor people cannot
afford the meat ration, but we hope
that we shall encourage the eating of
meat as against bread by supplying it
in an economical form.
“The plan will depend for success
largely upon the co-operation of the j
local authorities, who are taking a
practical interesst in it. Committees j
formed under the municipalities will
control the local depots, arranging
methods of distribution.”

GERMAN EMPEROR
URGED TOABDICATE
ROME, April 24. The Corrfer
D’ltalia, the official clerical organ, says
today that it is able to confirm the re
ports published in Spanish newspa
pers to the effect that the immediate
followers of the German emperor are
exerting every influence to bring about
bis abdication.
High officials in military circls here,
however, are extremely skeptical in
their views regarding these reports and
are not inclined to give much credence
to them.
Germans Fear British Guns.
WITH BRITISH ARMIES IN THE
FI ELD, April 24. —The smashing effect
of the British artillery and its demor
alizing Influence on the Germans con
tinue to be the theme of deserters and
prisoners’ confessions, soldiers dairies
and reports of officers.
"From 11 a. m. until 5:30 a. m. the
lay under a heavy and very
effective fire which continued without
a stop,” wrote a company commander
of the 31st Infantry regiment of the
li.th division in his report which was
captured with the writer. “Nothing is
left cf the trenches and dugouts are
to much damaged that they canont be
used. The location of our dugouts
must be accurately known as shell af
ter shell bursts right on top of them,
or quite close by. Also between 10
and 11 p. m„ the enemy’s artillery of
both medium and heavy calibre shelled
the trench with unprecedented vio- (
lence. Enemy airmen hovered over,
our positions the whole day and came
down very low. They directed the Are
throughout. Our own artillery seemed
to have fired very little. German air
men appeared only towards evening,
but the enemy airmen would not let
themselves be disturbed in their work.
Nothing is left of the trench.
“The enemy appears to be using a
new type of gun and shell. A red flame
is visible but we cannot hear the re
port of the gun. The shell bursts with
an explosion resembling that of a
mine and the destructive area of the
burst is large. I consider it my duty
to draw the attention of the battalion
staff to the fact that, in the event of
a bombardment of equal Intensity to
morrow, no dugout will be left to pro
vide shelter.”
