William Allen White Attributes tills condition to statewide prohibition. Of course others attribute it to outdoor life, prosperous farms and good peo ple. He that as it may, the statistics quoted are the most wonderful in tho world today. TO BE OPENED WITHOUT CERE MONY Thrrs will be no ostentatious dis play when. on Auk 16, tho I'ananm ('anal will be formally opened for bus iness. Tho dedication ceremonies will occur next Man’ll, when President Wilson, members of the cabinet and officers of the world'* navies will *«il from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This will be an auspicious event and will be hei aJded 4n every country. On Auk 16 It will be different, Her refary Garrison shows great, good Sense. lie is a practical man and be have* In practical Ideas. He also shows an admirable disregard for red tape and formality. This early opening of the canal may, to some extent, detract from the official dedication, but busi ness l» business, and there is no rea son why the canal should remain Idle for nearly a year and why commerce should be denied the advantage* It offer a. The International fleet will play Its part In time, and the spectacular pro readings will attract world wide at tent lon. There need lie no sentimen tal worry on thta account. The great canal Is completed. It Is ready for public use. Mere ceremony Is no valid excuse for withholding Its bcuefit* from commerce. A prelimi nary period of usefulness will be greater tribute to this wonderful American achievement than all the speech making and waving or flags that will take plsco at the official opening In Marvh. 191st Probably the first vessel to pais through the great waterway will be the Cristobal, a war department steantwr now at Coloii. When the Cris tobal steams from her slip to the At lantic sntrance of the canal it w ill mark tbs conclusion by American eu terprise of the greatest engineering task ever undertaken, and the culmi nation of lO years of the hardest kind of work agsluat physical obstacle* which have severely taxed the abili ties of the army engineers under Cul. OoethaU. Home things remain to be done to perfect the waterway The channel through the Culehra Cut in particular tuust be deepened and u (dental. This will come later While 90 feet of wa ter will answer Immediate purposes. It would hardly be safe to send a.iv of our super-dreadnmights through thj canal Just yet. This is another rea son why the formal opening should be delayed until March of next year and why the >atisl should be opened now to the ships of commerce Dent lin ant is all right to Its place, but sentiment should not be allowed to interfere with business, and the practical decision of Pooretary Garri son will meet with general approval.

"This man arms to get any thing 1 suggest by dapping his hands. I believe I will try to furnish this room This room should have more furniture." said Freda. The man In the turban bowed low again and then clapped his hands. Freda closed her eyes and when she opened them there was a well fur nished room. "You ran go now." Freda told the man In the turban, “but how will you know when 1 want you?" Me touched Ids forehead and then unveil his arms toward,the walls. "Mo you mean that all I have to do Is to think and the music will sound when I want you?" she asked. He bowed again, and rFedg knew that was what he meant. It was .tow dark, and Freda un dressed am) went to bed, and In a short tittle she was asleep- The next morning when she awoke she thought she was in the old wom an's house with all the work to do. for she was sure that she had been dreaming. She sat up In bed and looked about There were all the pretty furnishings for which she had wished and the sun vv*n shining. Freda Jumi ed up and dressed and ran down to the dining room. All this time the old woman and her laxv sun had been having a verv unpleasant time They were asleep, you will remem her. when Freda went to the chlmne..

I hey walked along for a long time, the old woman scolding her son and telling him he was the eaune of all the trouble because he opened the door to the chimney. At laid they were so tired they laid down and went to sleep In the morning they saw the house on the Island and they began calling for help. Freda was Just coming out of tho door of the house and heard them She ran to the boat and got into it, repeating the sending lines: “ Away, away, I wlah to rid, Over the water smoothly glide. I wonder who they ran he?" thought kreda as the boat glided along She was so frightened when she saw lie old woman that she began to tremble. The lazy eon recognized her and he ca! ed to his mother: "Pull her hair! Pull her hair! She la a witch!" I he old woman was as angry as her son and atepped Into the boat to do as he told her. As She did so over went the boat and kreda went Into the water with her. The son at the same time saw the lion running toward him, and to es cape he plunged into the water. Hut while the old woman and her son were struggling in the river. Freda was not having any trouble, for the water aemed to flow around her and she walked on dry land The lion was walking beetde her and Freda said: "Ho save them; I do not want them to drown." "Very well." said the ’»on. "you will not mint this river any more, and ts k >i>u will clap your hand* and wish, you can save them." Kreda clapped her hands and w ished them safe beside her. The water disappeared and the old woman and her son walked toward he* They were very meek, for the fright they hnd Just received had taken all the temper from them "Come with tile.” said Freda, “and l will give you dry clothes and some food; you must be hungry."

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. fiIEEM'IME Stales HOW MAX LEARNED TO CLIMB By VIRGINIA VALE. Once upon a time there was a boy by the name of Max. He liked to play ail kinds of games and was a great fa vorite with all the boys, hut one thing he was afraid to do was to climb. He tried often, but as soon as he was a few feet from the ground he would turn and come back. His friends could not understand why he was afraid and laughed at him. One day his mother had a head ache and asked Max If he would stay in the yard while she took a nap. He aa l on the porch and began to whit tle out a heat, when several of his boy friends caine along and said: “We are going swimming come along Max.” "I can’t," he replied. "I must stay In the yard." "Better try to climb that apple tree," called back one of th.- hoys and the others laughed and walked on. This made Max quite angry and he said to himself, “some time 1 will learn to climb.” Just then he heard the fire gong and the fire engines came rushing past and stopped a few houses dow .a the street. Max’s mother dkl not wake and Max knew she would rath er sleep. He watched a few minutes and all at once a big spark came fly lng toward his house and dropped near him. another followed and light ed on the roof and began to bum. Max did not know what to do but he knew the spark must he put out without disturbing his mother. He remembered that there was a laddi r In the barn and he ran and brought It and put It up against the house. Without thinking he climbed up, tugging the garden ho. e wtlh him, and turned It on the burning house be carefully wet down the whole roof ami turned Just in time to see his father and the boys come Into the yard. The boys called: "Gee you are a dandy fireman. I thought you couldn't climb?" Then Max for the first time real ized that he had climbed up higher than the apple tree and hail not been afraid hi all. After that he was climb ing most of the time and his mother said: "Max, I almost wish you had never learned to climb.” IF you have something that is intended for your eyes only, put it in one of our Safe Deposit Boxes Fire cannot reach it—burglars cannot get it and you will have absolute privacy because all our Safe Deposit Boxes ara fitted with V ale Locks which cannot he opened unless you help.

American Medicine says: “In the meantime. the tremendous strides made by sanitation began to show re sults which were also erroneously at tributed to the vaccine. This is a ser ious mater, since it tended to discred it the means which have so markedly reduced typhoid fever elsewhere." Little matters of increased sanita tion are, of course, of small account when a new vaccine can be Intro duced. WANTED: COLORED BOYS TO CAR ry papers la Colored Territory.
