4- THE BABJTOWN EXPRESS. ♦
♦ 4’4->4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-*4
There are trains that roar and rumble
at the call of human stress,
But the fastest and the gladdest is the
Babytown Express.
It runs from Dawn to Twilight and
you couldn’t count the miles,
For the track is made of fancy and
the ties are laid in smiles.
The good old backwoods pasture gate
is train and engine, too,
With Bud on top, as engineer, to make
the choochoo, choo!
Big Sis, the sweet conductor, takes the
tickets on the way,
Collecting hugs and kisses from the
ones who have to pay.
And sometimes, in merry mood, she
stops the train and then
Goes ’round among the passengers,
and takes the fares again.
It’s funny how the tourists, too, are
willing that she should
Because it takes a lot of fares to
make the service good.
The Babytown Express makes stops to
gratify each wish;
It waits at Cookie Station and at Noo
dles-in-the-Dish .
The noon stop’s Milk and Crackers,
and again at half-past four
It halts at Bread and Jelly, nearest
point to Kitchen-door.
The day’s last stop is Twilight, where
the evening shadow’s fall—
Then they tumble in the sleeper—train,
crew, passengers and all.

ATLANTA, Ga., May 4.—A regiment

suggestion that has come from Rome,
Ga., to contribute to the gaiety of na
tions and relieve the tensity of feeling
which has come of what the war will
really mean to the United States.
The French with their wonderful hu

face of death have taught the world
that fun and the most sublime patriot

tleman of that city, whose name is
withheld for very' obvious reasons, and
whose wife is said to be a strong-mind

that inasmuch as the conscription bill
is unfair to married men, he was go

many recruits in response to the call
for volunteers that his wife called at
his office and colemnly informed him
that the joke had gone far enough.
REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA MEANS
GREAT CHANGE IN MUSIC
LIVERPOOL, May 4. —Revolution in
Russia will mean a complete change
in the nature of Russian musical com
positions, in the opinion of Theo
Kushell, president of the Russian As
sociation of Musicians, who is now in
Liverpool. He says:
“Throughout the whole of Slav, but
especially of Russian music, one is
confronted with a ceaseless note of
melancholy. The minor key pervades
the whole of Chopin, Glinka, Rubin
stein, and Tschaikowsky. This minor
note haunts even the songs of the
peasant, as for instance the beautiful
song from Glinka’s “Life for the Czar.”
It is supposed to typify the devotion of
the moujik or Russian peasant, for his
Emperor.
“That beautiful song expresses the
sentiments of a peasant soldier dying
for the Czar. But now that the peasants
have found out that it is nobler to die
for Russia than for a Romanoff, a new
glorious note will ring through Rus
sian music, and we shall take a new
place among the great musical nations
of the earth, because of the gladness of
our sons, and not because of their
sadness.
“What a change it will be! Imagine
a joyous Chopin—he was a Slav as
much as any Russian. Imagine a laugh
ing Glinka or a light-hearted Toshai
kovsky. It will come as a revolution
even to ourselves.”

FEW WEEVILS FOUND
Bl SUMTER FARMERS
Despite the fact that farmers all
over Sumter county have reported that
boll weevile have been found on ther
farms, thus far only three “sure
enough” boll weevils have been brought
to the attention of Agricultural Agents
J. G. Oliver and W. J. Boyett.
Several planters have brought in bot
tles containing various species of in
sects which they believed to be boll
weevils, but on examination, the agri
cultural agent unquestioningly pro
nounced them pea-pod weevils, or coc
klebur weevls.
J. A. Mills, Jr., of the Seventeenth
district, brought in two boll weevils,
along with 50 pea pod weevils, while
another farmer from the same district
also exhibited one boll weevil from
among several weevils of different spe
cies.
Messrs. Oliver and Boyett are issu
ing warnings to the farmers to watch
for the appearance of the boll weevil,
especially on cotton plants growing
near fence corners, old buildings,
stumps, brush piles and standing tim
ber, where the weevils may have had
hibernation quarters during the win
ter.
The little black weevils found in
clusters On the cotton plants and on
the ground are not boll weevils, al
though they do some slight damage to
cotton early in the season. The boll
weevil will oc found at this season of
the year puncturing the small buds and
when the farmer finds a bud that has
turned black, he may be pretty sure
that a weevil has been getting in his
work.
Within a few days Messrs. Oliver and
Boyett declare that the systematic pick
ing of punctured buds should be com
menced. and once each week the cotton
should be thoroughly gone over to
capture the adult weevils working on
the plants and to get rid of the punc
tured buds.
QUIMBY MELTON TAKING
RESERVE OFFICERS’ COURSE
ATLANTA, Ga„ May 4.—Atlanta
newspaper men have been among the
first to respond to the call of their
country, and the editorial staffs of the
local papers are furnishing some of
their best men to the officers’ reserve
corps training school at Fort McPher
son, and to other branches of the ser
vice.
Quimby Melton, city editor of the
Constitution, has joined the training
school, and so has John Paschall, city
editor of the Journal. Archie Lee,
pecial political writer on the Georgian,
has gone into the school. Laurence
Stallings, a member of the Journal
staff, is going into the marine corps as
a commissioned officer. Angus Perker
sen, magazine editor of the Journal
will apply for admission into the train
ing school, and Roland Rowe, editor
of the Firing Line section of the Jour
nal, is also planning to take the course.
James S. Moore, Jr., a member of the
Journal staff, had passed his examina
tions for a commission in the army be
fore war was declared.
And the first one to go was George
Eattey, “good old George.” as his
friends called him, of the advertising
staff of the Georgian, who went into
the navy.

THEY DO SAY SOME QUEER
THINGS GO ON IN CEMETERIES
AT NIGHT, BUT WHY THE BIKE?
ATLANTA, Ga., May 4. —Did you ever
see anything in the Bingville Bugle any
funnier than this:
“While riding his bicycle through
Oakland cemetery last night, Police
man E. M. Cason collided with a tomb
stone and was thrown to the ground.
He sustained a painful gash in his
head, and after being taken to Grady
hospital was removed to his home.”
As to w'hat the policeman was doing
in the cemetery at night the Atlanta
paper which carried this item failed to
state.

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
lat Less Meat and Take a Glass of
Salts to Flush Out Kidneys—
Drink Plenty Water.
Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked, get sluggish,
ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is
irritated, and you may be obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night. When the kidneys clog you
must help them flush off the body's
urinous waste or you’ll be a real sick
I person shortly. At first you feel a dull
I misery in the kidney region, you suffer
| from backache, sick headache, dizzi
' ness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated
! and you feel rheumatic twinges when
: the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
i also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon-
I ful in a glass of water before break
> fast for a few days and your kidneys
: will then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
' lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
I; clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
I normal activity, also to neutralifie the
I acids in urine, so it no longer is a
I source of irritation, thus ending blad-
I der weakness.
I Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in-
I jure; makes a delightful effervescent
I lithia-water drink which everyone
II should take now and then to keep the
I kidneys clean and active. Druggists
I here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
I i folks who believe in overcoming kid-
I ney trouble while it is only trouble.

NO USE TRYING TO “FAKE”
PAST EXAMINING OFFICERS
ATLANTA, Ga., May 4. —A patriotic
young bank clerk anxious to enroll as a
student in the training school for the
clficers’ reserve corps at Fort McPher
son was afraid that a defect of vision
would prevent him from passing the
physical examination.
He obtained his three letters of rec
ommendation, filled out his application 1
blank and presented himself at Fort 1
McPherson to be examined. A number
of other applicants were ahead of him,
and while waiting his turn the bank
clerk carefully scrutinized the eye
test board on the wall and memorized
every letter and line of it.
When his turn came to take the eye;
test, the bank clerk was ordered to
remove his glasses, which he did, and
directed to read the letters and lines
on the eye test board, the purpose be
ing to ascertain whether his eyes with- 1
out glasss were up to the minimum
standard required. He read everything
to the dot, and the examining officer
was about to approve his application,
when suddenly a suspicion seemed to
strike him and he switched boards and 1
put up a new one for the bank clerk
to read.
The young man was completely atj
sea. Without his glasses he couldn’t
read a line or letter. "How did you’
