Coast Artillery, of A Plant Prisoner A BRIGHT little plant one grew In the rich black soil of a truck garden away on the outskirts of a- great big city. Tbls plant bad creamy colored straight stalks and gay green tops and no ttlooms at all. at least none that anybovly eared about, for blooms were not wKat It wt made for, you see. But be enjoyed growing and spent more of bis spar momenta trying to get taller than any other plant In the garden which was ambitious to aay the least. Then one day the gardener eamo and cut some of the stalks and took them to market. "This Is fine eating," be said In bis most persuasive fashion, "buy of me you will like this." But though many housewives looked and listened nobody bought his pro duce. "It's too green," they said, "we want white, tender celery when we buy. Yours Is both green and tough." So the gardener went homa and viewed his garden with a discouraged eye. "Tou have too much sunshine," he said to the rows of celery. "You are too vain and you grow too much. I'll have to take you in hand and change your habits you mustn't grow so strong." "How can I help that?,,X'the celery seemed to answer him. "the sunshine Is warm and lovely and I am made for growing." "That's exactly where you are wrong," declared the gardener. "Yon are made for selling, and If sunshine makes you grbw but not sell no more sunshine shall you have." And though the celery protested bit terly, the gardener got his spade and hoe and threw up the rich black dirt on both sides of the celery row threw it up till it touched the gay green leaves and hid all the sturdy, strong green stems from view. Then he tramped It down with heel and pade till not a bit of sunshine could reach the celery atalks! They said to the rows of celery. were shut up tight In a dark earth prison! "Oh dear!" groaned the celery breathlessly. Tm squeezed so tightly between these piles of damp black earth that I can't even breathe please! oh please, let me out!" But the gardener msde no answer. Prisoned there so tight and dark, the cheerful green celery grew palu and white. The strong green stems becam slim and brittle, very different from their former sturdiness. Then one day the gardener dug away some of the black dirt, cut a fow of the white stalks and went again to market. This time every one was anxious to buy he could have sold even more than he had. And ever since then gardeners everywhere bury their, celery undr rich black earth. People like the ten der white stalks, but the celery don't you wonder if It doesn't miss th sunshine? Monday Three Fairy "Wishes. Beaxity CKat LILLIAN RUSSELL Labor Need Not Be Ugly A GREAT man said: "Labor is the root of all ugliness." It need not be so. Even the work of this city, which announced this week scrubbing floors has Its beautifying that among its ranks are seven sets r-- , , . of brothers who will go to war to- effects If accomplished In the proper way. No cne can say that cooking and housework Is detrimental to any woman's complexion or figure when it is done as a labor of love. This present day stirring up. men tally and physically, will be the means of bringing out tbe real and the best In every woman. It will prove what Qualities she possesses and will de velop every one of them to the fullest. This Is the opportunity for women and girls to be of use to their country and to gain In breadth of mind and beauty of personality. Dress plays an Important part in the appearance and comfort of the working woman therefore It should not heugly. There Is much talk about the stand ardization of dress for every day for women. That might be a dangerous method, for If It were not seriously considered by an expert It might be heaping ugliness upon us In the guise of utility. It Is so easy-Xto destroy beautiful things and lovely thoughts, and so difficult to recover and recreate them, that we must be very careful what we select, understanding It must be In- the interest of beauty, economy and decency. The first thought of a patriotio de signer Is some sort of a woman's uni form made of khaki nothing could be more unbecoming and Inappropri ate for women. That color was de vised for the soldier in order that ho might be lost in his surroundings to the enemy eye. As his surroundings are clay and dust, khaki is the only suitable coloring for him. But how unsuitable for us to wear Burh a color. 'We could not hide ourselves In the city streets dressed in a mud colored uniform. "Why not ro to the extreme? From the earth to the heavens and select blue for our uniform color? When we consider the many shades of blue from the ky shades to the deep shades we can take our choice an ourselves becomingly. There material that cannot be dved nnn nf I tho many shades of blue therefore I each may select the shade that suits' her complexion in gingham, linen. cotton or woo! and so far as color Is concerned, every one may look well. By some chance or fate It has been decreed that one piece garments may be worn by all ages of women. We should accept this liberty and keep it. The one piece garment allows grace without eccentricity. It does not squeeze you In the waist, nor need It bind you In any part of your body. Sleeves were never so sensible as now, and any kind of work may be done without separating the bodice from the skirt. It seems that all the apparently capricious and good points of fashion have really happened because the de signers took to copying some of the peasant garments that have been evolved through centuries and so have copied many of the practical and good points. The old English smock, which slips over the head and covers the .body to the knees, is practical and not unbe coming to ths younger set. Ths Rus sian peasant blouse, -which slips over the bead, is the best for grown women. The straight lines may be accentuated by bands and ths widj belt may be worn as low down as pne cares to place it. It takes the plaee of bloomers when the skirt la fas tened together at the lower edges be tween the ankles. Why should women who work put on the oldest and ugliest clothes they can find? If they would select blue for their color and have their work ing clothes made as well a possible with honest material and good lines they would look Just as well In them as In their dress-up frocks and In the majority of casen far better. The working color for clothes should be blue, as It la refreshment to the eyes. There Is very little blue in nature, if we except. tbe sky. There are few blue flowers not many blue birds, nor fishes, nor Insects, nor min erals. In animals and In the human race it may be said there is no blue at all. That Is why all artists loved to paint It wherever and whenever they coirld, as a contrast to nature. I would say to all women, work and work hard, fearless of losing your charms, and with the confidence that you will acquire more beauty, health and grace by doing your work honestly. Have a glad heart, kncwlng that you are working for all net fof Just ona being. Who knows what life you may save "over there" by some hon est labor, earnestly done over here. You have nothing to lose and every thing to gain by doing your duty. nd m Band Concert Sunday m mi. laoor rarK The Municipal band concert Sunday afternoon will be at Mount Tabor park, beginning at 3 o'clock.

In a Washington dispatch to the Socialist New York Call, the charge is made that both Republicans and Democrats were wrangling for places on the exemption boards "in order that one party or the other may have an opportunity to punish their political foes by sending the sons to the trenches." In THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week, July 14th number, the general rules gov erning the selection of men for the national war-army are given, and the note of warning that boards shall not be derelict in their duty, is heard from various sources.
