Bank Guaranty Argued

Washington, December Swallowing argument of the constitutionality of the Oklahoma bank guaranty law, attorneys today argued before the supreme court of the United States the question of the constitutionality of similar laws in Kan sas and Nebraska. A dispute over the division of time for the presentation of the Kansas and Nebraska cases was ad- 1usted in court after the arguments in the Oklahoma case had been concluded.
 fruit growing country as I am with north ern Alabama. In fact so greatly iln- pressed am I, and so enthusiastic am I over the possibilities of this locality as a fruit growing section, I have disposed
 of my holdings in Oregon and moved to Madison county, northern Alabama,
 where, all things considered, I believe my
 opportunities to make money as fruit grower and farmer are greater than any where else. With greater diversification of crops on his farm. improved methods of tillage and more attention to preserv- ing the fertility and good mechanical con- ditions of the soil I believe the north Alabama farmer has the most promising section of country in the south, or in the United States, for that matter

LIFE SENTENCE
 IN MURDER CASE

St. Louis, Dec.''.,,e, s.--Life mprison- ment was the verolei in the case of Aus tin Greaves, who conducted his own de- fense against the charge of first-degree murder in killing his neighbor, Fred Hunter, about four months ago, in tho circuit court late this afternoon. Greaves will ask for a new trial
 Greaves brought his remarkable de- fense to a climax today, when he placed his children. Golden. aged 12, and John. aged g, on the witness stand and drew from them a story of neighborhood per sscption to show cause for killing Hunter.
 Greaves then took the stand in his own behalf. Without waiting, for any ques- ton he said he wished to corroborate the testimony of his wife and children, A juror asked about the differencein the testimony of his wife and children to which he replied:
 "Oh, that is immaterial" M
 Greaves pleaded with tre jury for near ly e half hour either to acquit him or sentence him to hang.
 Don't send me to the penitenfiary, gentlemen.' the prlsorer urged the jury in so low tone thft not all of them could hear him. "If you find me guilty of having deliberately and maliciously killed Alfred Hunfer, I want death; if you have a reasonable doubt want you to acquit me. as the judge has told you to-"

 "Then again the male pigeon proves his devotion in works. During the setting and matching period of about two weeks the male bird sits on the eggs a part of the time every day. They are very systematic In this part of the domestic duty. The male bird sits on the eggs from 10 o'clock In the morning to o'clock in the aft ernoon and the female is on the nest from 1 In the afternoon to 10 next morning
 "Speaking of their devotion to each other, remember reading story once that I am sure Is true. male pigeon got fastened in the loft of farmer $ barn and was were some time before he was discovered.
 During the entire time of the birds imprisonment the female mate carried food to the prisoner. It was through this beautiful act of loyalty and in stinct that the farmer finally found the lost pigeon.
 "I now have about GO pairs of pig cons. I am preparing to have five more houses built in my back yard and ex- pect to increase my flock to about 300 pairs.

NORTH ALABAMA IS FINEST SECTION
 FOR FRUIT GROWING Oregon Man Moves to Madison County Because of Great
 Possibilities
SAYS CLIMATE AND SOIL
 ARE IDEAL FOR PURPOSE
s. F. Morine Says Northern Part of This State Is Unsurpassed for Raising Apples, Peaches, Grapes and
 Other Deciduous Fruits

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The greatest economic error of the old south was the adoption of the one-erop
 system of farming. The farmers chose their staples with wisdom-cotton. sugar, rice and tobaoco-four of the best staples, and they found world market for them. And on the surface 1t appears just as
 sound a policy as for the manufacturer to limit his output to one article instead of many. There is, however, this difference,
 the manufacturer is sure of his product
 at uniform cost and standard quality
 while the farmer is never certain of quantity, quality or cost of his crop. and should throw out an anchor of safety SC
 that whatever may occur to reduce the cash crop It will not curtail the supply of food or clothing, or interfere with the schooling of the family or place the home in jeopardy.
 The great objections to the single crop are that 1t limits citizenship and does not foster home building. But it does foster commercial farming and lacks the ele- ment of safety, for if the one cash crop fails, everything goes-living, clothing and all.
 It might we'll be asked then, why does not the southern farmer diversity his crops as the farmers of the west and northwest are doing so successfully? Not great deal has been done along this line in Alabama, especially by the small farmer. And diversified farming is the answer to their most perplexing problem. It Is the firm belief of the writer that north Alabama has a climate as nearly perfect for the cultivation of deciduous fruits as any part of the world. Of course, we see a few fruit trees of almost every variety on nearly every farm in this part of the state. but 1t has occurred to but few that the fruits that are yield ing such rich returns in Oregon, Idaho and Washington could be cultivated and grown with even greater profit and less labor here. Take for instance the vast sections of land that are now producing scant crops of potatoes, oats, corn and cotton. The chemical composition of the soil of these lands is such that with small amount of the proper fertilization and intelligent cultivation they could be made to produce apples, grapes, pears, peaches and strawberries to equal cash value three times as high as that of the present crops.
 The climate of north Alabama Is very similar to that of northeastern Oregon and western Idaho, where world-famed apples and grapes are raised. The follow ing varieties of grapes grown in Oregon are, according to the United States de- partment of agriculture. admirably adapt ed to Alabama, particularly the northern part of the state:

Pigeons are the most interesting It, tie animals in the world" said Mrs. Johnson, enthusiastically. If I never hoped to make this little industry profitable to myself I would still be interested in keeping them and study ing their ways.
 You see they are all paired off and at work or at play they are devoted to each other Once paired they are always paired except in rare instances where there Is an unequal division of the sexes and the stronger males at times rob the weaker males of their mates.
 Pigeons once paired are faithful to each other through life and they never get over their honeymoon days. You can see them courting there now. Be- tween every breeding period of about four to six weeks they have a season of courting or the honeymoon over again. In this respect they are unlike too many of the human lace who too soon forget the honeymoon, those lit- tie attentions that are so dear to the heart of the one who Is once wooed and won.

 Work
FINDS TT DELIGHTFUL
BY WALTER HARPER

I have found something real, some thing practical on Highland avenue.
 Where you naturally expect to find little but the smell of gasoline and men and women with their enigmatic society prattle there is still that home " touch of nature. that pride in ennob- ling industry that refines the soul and gives surcease to the feverish whirl or social obligation
 I found this touch of contrasting beauty in the back yard at the home of MT. and Mrs. Jack w. Johnson.
 When I called Mrs. Johnson was in her pigeon house mixing food for her pigeons The meal consisted of corn. wheat, Kaffir corn and millet seed. She was mixing about equal parts and putting 1t in a long trough on the floor of the pigeon house. The pigeons were flying about in pairs, counting or dis cussing their family affairs in the large wired-in flying pens just outside the pigeon house.

He carried a musket, in readiness for immediate action. These were dangerous times, and night 1 providers Were usually bent on Ques- tionable eTands.

 Tender1y-ever so tender1y-fe wrap ped his strong arms about her frail little body, and, holding her close to his breast, he started along the wind ing pathway. One of her arms he bent around his neck. Her ringlets of gold en hair fell against his cheek as he walked Her bosom gently rose and felf as she dreamed herself away into the magic realms of fairy1and, with her gallant fairy prince, Gilbert Steele, as her protector and guide. As he looked down into her innocent face and understood in his way the un- fathomable depth of the trust she had placed in him and in his honor Gilbert Steele vowed a VOW with himself and with bis God that he would hold sa- cred this trust and strive manfully to justify 1t, as was the duty of true man and soldier in Andrew Jack sonss army.
 Passed almost an hour ere Gilbert Steele reached with his precious bur- den the house of plantation manager whom he was certain would be able and willing to provide shelter for the girl for the night.
