Voaus Tor Rlbbons.

Women abroad have gone mad over
ribbons. Chains for lorgnettes or
watches have gone out of fashion. All
milady's trinkets are on narrow vel
vet ribbons to match her frock.
Wider ribbons are tied closely about
the throat, the long ends hanging al
most to the hem of the skirt, while
the gold bangle has been superseded
by band of the velvet fastened about
the arm with jeweled brooch.
Smart spring hats are tied under
the left ear with bows of ribbon, and
even the feather and fur boa are fas-
tened with more ribbons to futter in
the vagrant breezes.

Questions ON Lesson for Meeting OF

Following are the questions on

The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-06-14
1.-THE MAN BEHINDr
The Leader of the Anti-Saloon League
 Intimately Described.

Within the last few months the power of the temperance party politically has become vividly evident. The movement is an organized political party and it's leaders claim that in the 15 years of the Anti i-Saloon Leagues activities more :han one-half the area of the United States has gone dry that is, every minute more than 150 acres of United States territory go prohibition!
 Every great movement the world has eyer known has had it's zealous and its pathfinders, its martyrs and it's cranxs. It has been the fanatic who has preached temperance to the world, but it is the cool-headed methodical worker who is today accomplishing drink reform-reform that has to all appearances the elements of stability Somewhere there is the Man Behind.
 I went out to see the aMan Behind. I found him, says Darlington A. Phelps in Broadway Magazine for June. He was sitting forward on the edge of an office chair, and he was bounded on the north by a mound of correspondence, on the south by table with half at hundred reference books on the east by desk loaded to the gunwales with information, and on the west by three big maps and stenographer. He was Howard H. Rus sell, founder, builder and backbone of the Anti Saloon League of America.
 Before I had talked with him two min utes I began to remember where l had before encountered that intensity of un- selfish purpose that suave but iron at ttude, that swift. virile movement in action, that overwhelming concentrations I had met it in the personnel, the or ganization and the every action of the Anti-Saloon League This man Russell has infused into the work his entire per- sonality.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-06-14
WHERE FORTUNES
 GROW ON TREES

In the Rouge river valley in southern Oregon, F. H. Hopkins in 1907, made a profit of s19,000 off 16 acres of winter Nelis pears-$1. .1S7. 50 an acre. So writes II. s. Gray in the Technical World Maga- zine for July. In the same valley, |. II. Hover bought 10 acres of pear orchard at $560 an acre. Fifteen months later crop brought him $9600.
 Eight year ago J. l.. Dumass set out 50 acrfes of apples near Dayton in the Walla Walla district of southeastern Washington. In the summer of 1907, He bought 50 acres of apple orchard adjoin- ing his property, at an investment of $18,- GOO. The apples he picked from these 90 acres that season sold for $16,000, and the total crop from the 100 acres realized $52,- C00-a return to the owner of $40,000.
 The statements are incontrevertible, but you instantly demand: What Is the ex- planation?"
 A climate and soil that are capable of rearing such monsters as the red wood trees and the sequoias, which render measurements of vegetable growth in other regions of this country bunny and scant, account in part for these bewildering figures.
 But there are obsure valleys, mar row and diminutive, mere pockets. be- tween huge mountains, where in the past no plant worthy of cultivation has found so much as root-hold. And it Is in many just such spots as these that the returns per acre are the hugest Irriga ton, in such cases is the re- maining factor that explains the mys- tery-irrigation which brings to the barren soil, full of wonderful poten tialiaies, water, that element which Is Co render it so marvelously productive.
