I’ve driven in the cows and sheep, The colts and pigs and goats; I’ve relieved the cows of milk and cream, And the sheep of their woolly coats. I’ve planted fields of oats and wheat, Os cotton and corn and peas; I’m blessed with abundance beyond compare To the peoples beyond the seas. I’ve mined my coal and oil and iron, My copper and lead and steel; I’ve built my factories far and wide, And my steam turns many a wheel. I've sailing on the great high seas My fleets of ships and boats— The Stars and Stripes flung to the breeze, Cheered by a billion throats. I’ve made my shores a haven of rest For the oppressed of all the lands; I've s tood at the meeting of land and sea And called them with beckoning hands. My emblem of freedom is the eagle bird, For he nests upon the crags; Its symbol is the Stare and Stripes Among all the world’s great flags. May my fair land forever stand As a beacon on Freedom's shore; And the world be freed of hate and greed From now, and forevermore. —CLIFFORD RAINEI.

[MIL S PASSES ID GREAT BEW«D I LONDON, August 29. —Earl Grey, former governor general of Canada, died today after a long illness. He was born Nov. 28th, 1851. Lord Strathcoma described Earl Grey as “a statesman and a philan thropist in the best sense.” His ac tive career comprised not only the administration of the government of Rhodesia and representation of the British government as governor-gen eral of Canada, but industrial and fi nancial operations in the development of South Africa. One of the most noted movements to which lie gave his support, and in which he was a leading spirit was the Public House Trust Company of England, an enter prise desi ned to supplant the ordl- 1 nary saloons for the sale of intoxicat ing liquor by the establishment of well conducted public houses and to dis courage the use of intoxicants by sub stitution of tea and coffee. Earl Grey was an intimate friend of : the late Joseph H. Choate, American ambassador to Great Britain, often visited the United States, called upon Presidents Roosevelt and Taft at Washington, and declared that he was a lover of America. This sentiment he gave as his reason for restoring to the 1 United States a picture of Benjamin Franklin which had been in possession of the family since Earl Grey’s great grandfather. Major-General Charles Grey, was quartered in Franklin’s! house in Philadelphia as an officer of General Howe’s staff during the Revo lutionary War. The restoration of the picture was announced by Earl Grey ■ a a banquet tendered to him in New • York, while he was governor-general • of Canada. In making the announce- ■ ment he said he believed there were ■ higher laws than .the laws of posses soin. Although born an aristocrat, Earl ( • Grey was very democratic in his sym- • Americus Oil Company • j “ THE OLD MILL” : e Let us gin your cotton on our modern Elec- » | trically driven, Ball-Bearing Gins.

This found chief expression . in his almost life-long activity as a so cial reformer, in his efforts to reform , the saloons of England and in the es tablishment of a co-operative partner , ship system on his estates in North umberland. He wa s not an idle bearer of a great name, but was imbued with restless energy and a spirit of en thusiasm in all his enterprises, consti tuting a multitude of interests. Cecil Rhodes found him full of passionate enthusiasm for the growth of the Brit ish empire and that he was willing to I bend every energy to the achievement o.' that object. One of his most pro found convictions was that a union of tl.e English-speakings people would be of world-wide benefit. | AMER'COS SHOWS | OPERA HOUSE. Friday.
