Some time ago Mrs. George Carleton, a
prominent Waukesha clubwoman, read a
paper before the Woman's Club Of that
city which was so good that the local pa
per decided to print it in full.
At one point, Mrs. Carleton said that
"old friends, like old coins, grow dearer
with age" When the printed report was
read, those who had listened to Mrs.
Carleton were surprised to note that the
comp0sitor had made what he doubtless
considered an improvement on Mrs.
Carleton's remark, because of its unde-
niable originality. He sent it out to
readers of the paper, ''OIs friends, like
old COWS, grow dearer with age"

Four men were seated IN the buggy,

and the negro driver. AS the horse
broke at the sound of the whistle, 1t
tried to dash past the carriages of the
cortege, which were In front. But the
bridge was narrow and the runaway

one of the heavier carriages. Two

three occupants thrown out. A mo-

CAPT. GRIFFITH AND FIRE
FIGHTERS ARE WROTH

Captain Griffith, Of the Fire Depart
ment, is wroth; so also are his subor-
dinates, every man of Montgomery s
fire ladies. For some person, with a
perverted idea of humor, has called the
trucks and engines and hose wagons
on more than one false alarm here of
late.
And they all have set, for the main
purpose in life just now, to catch the
joker. And If he is located, he-but
there Is a city law on the ordinance
book which will provide for him. they
say.
For every alarm. besides throwing
the city in a turmoil means hours of
work for the firemen, whether there be
a fire at the other END or not. The
engines and wagons must be cleaned
after each rup the horses must be
rubbed down. each of them, and a hun
dred other little items of labor count
in So run means much, and when
it is all for nothing-well, no wonder
the firemen are wroth.

DESPITE RAINS GOOD
DAT CROP IS HARVESTED

According to reports received in the
office Of Commissioner of Agriculture
J. A. Wilkinson, the present oat crop
Is the best that has ever been grown
in Alabama. 1t was known that the
crop in it's earlier stages had been ex-
ceptionally fine, but many believed
that the long rainy spell had seriously
interfered with the harvesting, but the
Department of Agriculture has been
gratifed at the report of the excel
lence of the harvested crop, notwith-
standing the rain.
The crop shows for one thing that
Alabama farmers planted more oats
this year than ever before. And from
these same reports 1t is shown that the
seed oats raised in Alabama were more
prolific and gave much better results
than seed oats brought in from other
States. The Commissioner. of Agricul-
ture says further that the seed planted
in the same County gives better results
than seed brought in from another
county.
