Thus merchants . out in the state and throughout Oma ha's trade territory will be anxious to get in their full, line of fall goods be fore any rise takes effect; and the merchants' market week, planned for Omaha in the early part of August, will therefore be just the convenient time for them to do this.

In these letters the merchants point out that the crop outlook is ex cellent, and they have every reason to look for a fine fall and winter busi ness. ... ' Social Stunts Planned. The serious business of the week will be the selecting of the fall stocks of merchandise. But social activities have been planned that will interest and entertain the entire families of the out-of-town merchants; and the merchants are invited to bring their families.

A teapot tempest that looked for a time as jt it might keep the San Francisco mem bers of the Woman's Navy leagu. from participating in the preparedness parade here next Saturday was for gotten today when several of the members received anonymous warn ings threatening them with "extermi nation" if they persisted in their mili tary enthusiasm and marched in the parade. One of the anonymous warn ings was read at a meeting of the league and as - direcj result it was said a plan to withdraw from partici pation was abandoned. The women expressed Themselves as being eager to walk. According to the federal authorities more than 200 of the anonymous warnings, printed on postal cards, have bee. intercepted at the postof nce. A few of them escaped the vigil ance of the sorters and were delivered. On each card was a message warn ing the person addressed that a fur ther display of interest in the prepar edness demonstration would lead to serious consequences and that an ap- iowed by "extermination." The cards were signed "Employes Protective League." No such, organi zation is known here. The postoffiice inspectors are endeavoring to trace the cards to their origin.

Nw Torlt. Tha Wllmartk Praia. 11.01 Here the impartial thinker proves by facts that Germany and France are the first of modern states, and that England has fallen behind in Meals, in laws, in justice, and in ?io!icy. Here Frank Harris, power ully and with great distinction, shows, again by facts, that Germany has done more for civilization in the last twenty years than any state has ever done before, and that its effort has keyed up all human energy to a higher achievement.

Br the author of "Aunt Sarah and the War." New York. G. P. Putnam' Son,. 76 cents. A volume comparable to Aunt Sarah and the War from the pen of the author of that book.

By Orison Swett Marden. New York. Thomas Y. Crowell Co. 11. Truly a happy subject ''is this one chosen by one of our best known authors for his latest book; and we can rest assured, before we have turn ed the cover, that it is dealt with in a happy way, for Dr. Marden is a dyed-in-the-wool optimist. At the same time back of his optimism is al ways .a reason, and this book is mere ly another case in point. He urges up on each one of us the necessity of making life a masterpiece, no so much on account of the result as on account of its effect -upon our daily life.

' EVERY MAN MILITANT. Br Ewlns Raf fertr, Boston. Sherman, French Co., II. This play was written in a rather iconoclastic mood, for the purpose of proving the futility of preserving a fu ture state of universal peace, the fal lacy of the doctrine of the divine right of kings, the absolute dictatorship of vanity and greed over the finer feel ings of man, the encouragement of war by the munitions-maker and his callousness toward its havoc and also as a commendation of the church for its disinterestedness and its refusal to espouse the cause of any of thes combatants. THE LIVING VOICE. A dram by Anna Eolfrom. Boston. Sherman s-renca C. 11.18. , The theme of 'The Living Voice" .'. .I,, tUm vfttftt n( th rlarl has a greater influence than that of the liv ing, in tne eariy years oi me ine words of parents, teachers, friends, are unheeded, and youth goes on its own headstrong way. But after loved ones have passed away, those who re main ponder over what the departed have said and done, and unconscious ly do the things they wished either to do themselves or to have done. Ofttimes a man's great dream in life, cut short by an early death and be moaned by friends, is carried on to greater perfection by some one influ enced by the words or ideals of him "who, being dead, yet speaketh." raatrr. POEMS. Br Chester Firkins. Boston, Sher man French Co. $1.00. The death of Chester Firkins last year brought to a sudden end his short and brilliant career as a journal ist and poet. The verses presented in this volume are a selection from a much larger number which have ap peared during the last twelve years in magazines as diverse in type as the "Atlantic Monthly" and "Puck," and in representative newspapers of the middle west and New York City. Both subject matter and method of treatment vary as greatly as do the publications to which the author was a contributor. The poems range from the highest plane of lyric imagination to the extreme of nonsense verse. They naturally divide themselves into four groups; poems of city life, poems of the northwest, poems of childhood and humorous verse. ) SHIPS IN PORT. Br Lewis Worthlnfton Smith. New York. O. P. Putnam's Sons. Lis nst. A book of glowing colorful verse, now vibrant with deep organ tones of emotion, now inspired by the wild breath of salt-laden gales that sweep over tumultuous seas, . and again, singing of the crackling warmth of a winter hearth. Verse of varied ap peal and distinctive form. POEMS OF PANAMA. Br Oeors, War burton Lewis. Boston. Sherman, French Co. 11.00. This is a book that was first lived and then written, and that is why the poems throb with swift-running red blood. The verse presents in rhyme that is different the life-story of a son of wanderlust the rhythm and swing of which take you captive and bear you along with the poet-adventurer for a nearer view of the wonder ful places where he has been and the things which he has done. WOLF'S BANE. Br John Cowper Powys. Robert Rutter Jb Son. New York. IMS. In these remarkable poems Mr. Powys strikes a new and startlingly unfamiliar note; their interest lies in the fact that they are the unaffected outcries and protests of a soul in ex ile, and their originality is to be found in that they sweep aside all facile and commonplace consolations and give expression to the natural and incurable sadness of the heart of man. FLASHLIGHTS. Br Mary Aldla. New York. Duffleld Co: 11.16. A volume of verse, much of it in the newest forms and of the most modern tone, together with other j metrical experiments which show Mr. Aldis's appreciation for conventional verse, also. ' The collection, in sub ject matter and in treatment, makes a very striking contribution to the modern poetic renaissance. rtien prominent in the commercial, professional, official, political and social activities of Louisiana together with late pictures. It is gotten up in loose leaf style, morocco binding and gold letters and is, as a whole, a val uable work and extremely well got ten up. TALES FROM A BOY'S FANCY. By Ker rey. Shawmeker. Kansas City.

I PRINCIPLES OF CONSTITVTIOXAL I GOVERNMENT. By Frank J. Ooodnow. : New York. Harper Jt Bros. 11.00. I The writer is an authority of in- j ternational reputation, who it will be ) remembered was invited to China by the government to draw up a consti tution. This book is not only a com-: prehensive statement of the subject but it is clearly and interestingly written. It is based on lectures which were delivered in the year 1913-1914 before the students of the Peking uni-' versity. The author has been led to publish them in book form because of his belief that they might possibly contribute toward the answer to the question: "What are the essentials of. constitutional government f ALFRED RUSSELL WALLACE. By James Merchant. New Tork, Harper ft Bros. 15.00. In this book for the first time the interesting and historic correspond ence between Darwin and Wallace is given in full. The reader will see not only how each of these great minds traveled by parallel, but independent roads, toward the momentous discov ery of the theory of natural selection, but how generous and magnamimous were the men themselves in admitting each other's claims. The time has now come when at last it is possible to estimate the unique worth and place of Wallace in the history of science. There are also interesting letters with other scientific contemporaries of Wallace, Huxley, Spencer, etc., and communications with co-workers in all parts of the world. LOUISIANA.
