With the night asi black as pitch. but with field of play As light as day with some extra candle power switched on, the first game of outdoor basket ball ever played in Montgomery was pulled or last night on the race track at van- diver Park,
 last night had a novel siglt present. ed A basket ball court had been laid off on the race track and there the crack teams of the Y. NJ c. A. met in contest. A misty rain fell during the game but it did not daplpen the ardor of the contestants or spectators and the battle was spirited throughout. The game with the high lights flashing on the field of play and the biackness of the night obscuring the spectators. gave the ohiookers the idea of a nov Ing picture show where the subjects talked, and Whereby interest was add ed to the otherwise classy game. .M

 Gustav Kerkerts music has always been pleasing. It has a swing to 1t, a catchy something that fingers with you like. q bit of delicate perfume without lasting qualities. He sends 1t off in two fourths and threeafourths time. and de- spite these fractional parts. his m6lo- dies are full round and his choruses are of many whoi6s and decidedly de- iightful. Kirker's music in "Ths Tour ists." which was here last night, was like the bite of the 'wfite juice." with the exception of the farewell.
 One could sit and listen without look ing and enjoy the performance. but looking added something, for George Romain. the real man behind the fun, has selected q few chic little person. ages in his chorus in these days of fe- male famine. and tiiera is no waiting at the furch when the melody mefges Into funny frothings.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov, 1.--A special to fhs Age Herald from Huntsville says that Judge o. R. Hundley tonight afnointed Colonel T. c.

It Is understood that the appointment was based on a letter written by Colonel Bush to the court in which he. stated that ne believeu lie could raise the money to keep the plants of the com- pany in operation.
 Chandler represented to the court that there was d lack of harmony between themselves and Receiver Edgar A. Ad- Ter. It is understood that Coionel rusf will be made chairman of the board of receivers and 1t was estimated that about si00.O00 will be required to operate the plants for the next fifteen days. The court urged the receivers to try to keep the plants in operation as 5000 men were dependent upon this for a livelihood.

An Boy. Not Possible Presidents.

All Boys Not Possible Presidents.
 Every fond mother in the United States looks upon her boy as a possi- bIe President of his country. and the fathers. too to some extent, share in tIifs delusion. It is a shame to take away this joy of anticipation, as does a writer in The Ladies' Home Journal. who says: 4
 .In all the schools in -any State at any time there are no five boys that are of the stuff to make really good President, or more than ten who are of the stuff that could get them even to the presidency without making good President upon arrival.
 If Jimmy has the making of sue succfiI farmer a parent will scarcely succeed in trying to turn him into a successful lawyer. If he has no. sense of humor no parent can turn him into a funny man, though he can be grad ually trained so that he understands il simply joke made by others.
 4 parent can only make the best or whatever qualities boy has, so that he will be a valuable man of some sort. New valuable man is not necessarily n remarkable man. It is impossible for everyone to be remarkable, for if we were all equally able no one would remark 1t. But we can all be valuable. Anyone can be valuable if he determ- Ines to be so.
 "A valuable man in any occupation is one who does his work right with out needing to be perpetualiyy over seen and nagged, one who treats other men with honesty and wh0Shas an abiding respect for what Is essentially important. Fidelity, honesty and loy- atty cannot be spread too universally through the race. And school can dofmuch toward establishing these vir- tues in pupils; but especially where the homes are trying to establish tnem' too."

The United States experiment sta

for the experimental work of the state,

when the most of the experimental
work is carried on. Each department
follows out it's own line and is re.
sponsible for its own results. The
purposes and methods of these expert.
ments have usually a wide interest, as
they are often suggested by questions
which affect all who are engaged in
agriculture. For example, the work
OF the department Of agronomy is in
part q continuation of the experiment.
al work of the last two years. This
part includes the testing Of varieties
of all the principal DOT and grain
crops and forage plants, the testing OF
the effect OF different rotation series,
and experiments with different types
of fertilizers, TO determine the produc'
ing capacity OF the average soil.
In addition to these lines there are
several new lines OF work undertaken
this season. Fifty-two plots have been
set aside and YORK started to deter.
