HE HAD A WIFE TOO
Farmer Backed Out When Woman Re-
fused to Move.

Perhaps The most stubborn individ-
ual heard of in some time is a woman
who was touring with her husband in a
large automobile. They met a hay
wagon, fully loaded, in narrow road,
where it was impossible to pass. The
woman declared that the farmer must
back out, but her husband contended
that she was unreasonable. ~ But you
can't back the automobile SO far, and
I don't intend to move for anyone,
she said. "He should have seen us.
The husband pointed out that this was
impossible, owing to an abrupt turn in
the road. Il don It care. won It move
if we have to stay here all night,
she insisted, with a tone Of authority
At this, the farmer, who had been sit
ting quietly on the hay, interrupted
"Never mind, sir,'' he exclaimed" ,"I'n
try to back out. I've got one just
like her at home.'

Standard Oil company notifying GUS
toners that high grade gasolene, such
as is used in automobiles, has been
withdrawn from the market. At the

that Independent companies will be able

AS a result Of the withdrawal Of

automobile concern in the country is
working toward the perfection Of an
alcohol carburettor, and expect to see
alcohol machines on the market next
year. Gasolene is too expensive, owing
to the limited supply, and the action
OF the Standard Oil company in with
drawing frstclass gasolene from the
market will only arouse the automobile
manufacturers to further efforts to per-
feet the alcohol machine. The use Of
alcohol will not be confined to auto
mobiles. The alcohol engine will take
the place Of the steam traction engine,
and it will be used wherever the gaso-
lene engine is now used. It will be
cheaper, cleaner and much more salts

IMPORTANT
FEATURE OF EDUCATION

and have carried out in most part the
provisions of the law that actual expert
ment stations shall be maintained and
worked in all departments. They are so
located that every feature of the agri-
cultural work can be kept up In some
fruit is the best crop, in others cotton
and corn and in others vegetables. But
in all there is an attempt to keep the
farm work TO the front SO that all the
students may learn how to make crops.
At jackson the industrial feature has
been developed. Here other lines than
farming are taught and all rounded out
to good service to the ambitious pupils.
1t is also fact that at jackson any
student WHO desires may work on the
farm and earn enough money to keep
him i'm school. 1t is a further fact that
at this school no matter how rich Il
boy may be he must get out and actually
farm some every day The state laws
also require that every teacher in the
public schools shall pass an examination
on the science of agriculture so they can
teach it. In other words, Alabama is en-
phasizing the agricultural feature at this

State Superintendent of Education-eleet
II. G. Gunnells is very much taken with
the bill OF Congressman Livingston Of
Georgia, seeking to have Congress appro-
pirate 100000 year To the agricultural
schools of the state lie has the impress
sion that the bill will meet with general
response from all parts of the country
and certainly from Alabama, where II
school of this kind has been maintained
in every congressional district for more
than ten years.
1t is a matter for further Congratula =
ton that the bill stipulates that the
money is 10 lie disbursed by the state
superintendent in accordance with the
state laws. which provision will guar
antee the best results in every district.
The Alabama schools now receive $500 a
year each from the tag tax, that is 30
cents a ton on the fertilizers sold in the
state. There has been about $4,000 a
year collected in excess of the sum used
which has gone into the general fund.
This will very likely be added to the
amount now appropriated. The adoption
of this and the passage of the Livingston
bill would give each OF the Alabama
schools $4,000 year, a sum that would
make them great influences in the edu-
cational progress of the state.
Alabama has found the district agri-
cultural schools a great success. "rhey
ha been Of immense value to the ter
ritory in which they are located" said
Mr. Gunnells today. the only trouble
being that they have not had enough
money to keep them going as they
should"
These schools are located in the order
of districts named. as follows Jackson
