Boys Corn Clubs.

Every body who reads the papers pub
lished in the orh-growing sections of the
country has read. during the past year,
of boys corn clubs. The movement to
organize farmers boys into such clubs
has expanded rapidly. Down in Sher-
man, Tex. last summer, the browning
feature Of the parade at big local cele-
bration was the marching of the Grayson
county boys corn clubs. There was a
handsomely decorated float, bearing q
charming young lady. who represented
the Sweetheart Of the Corn" and after
ward came 125 youthful corn growers,
each shouldering a corn stalk with a big
tassel
These enterprises are some of the prin-
cipal means which have been devised to
young people. There are other ways
which apply more particularly to the
family circle. Probably the photograph

Mediators Still at Work.

Thus far their efforts have been prac-
tically unavailing. Late yesterday the
mediators held conference with the gen
eral managers committee and today they
are in conference with the representatives
OF the labor organizations.
The men have voted to strike unless
their demands for increased wages and
better labor conditions are not granted.
Hope was expressed this morning that a
solution of the difficulty might be found
but it was only hope.
Neither Chairman Knapp nor DIR. Neill
will make a statement regarding the sit
uation, but from sources of undoubted
authority it is learned that the crisis In
the controversy is not likely to be reached
before late tonight or tomorrow. Officials
here expect that a strike may be averted

The Inevitable.

From the New York Mail.
Inasmuch as it was bound to come, per-
haps we should all be thankful that it
has arrived. 1t is said to be the dam
tiest. quaintest and most graceful thing
of its kind ever devised by human
genius.
No, it is not a new style of hat nor
shoe, nor glove. soap. toothbrush or
bathing suit. Vastly more important, more
fascinating than any of these-it is 1.-The
airship glide" the newest two-step
waltz, a dream of motion, a symphony
in curves and whirls, compared with
which other forms of the dance seem
uncouth and graceless.
The '''airship glide" is creation of
the fertile fancy of Prof. j. c. Rush,
one of the most famous dancing teachers
of Kokomo, Ind. There is no hopping,
galloping. wabbling or perspiring in the
airship glide" says the exultant Rush.
1.-The couples give the effect of not touch
ing the floor at all. They glide over lit
in long, graceful swoops. 1t is the real
candy If such Is the case, nothing
could be sweeter.

Husband Declines to Talk.

Then the physician went into the room
where Brady was and asked him how
it was that his wife was wounded. Brady
at first said that she had shot herself.
But the physician confronted him with
the statement Mrs. Brady had made to
him. Then Brady said he would not
tell anything about it,.
Before daylight DR.. Carpenter thought
Mrs. Brady would die. He notified Sheriff
Ssherp. Undersheriff William j. Doyle
was sent to make an investigation.

only the man and his wife can tell what
happened. They have not yet told their
stories, other than brokenly, and not

Milwaukee, Wis, August 3.-The subor-

Frank S. White, Jr., yesterday. During

for little Miss Bryan and the case again
called for trial. The administrator re-

Production of pig iron for July shows
continuance of the gradual reduction
which has been taking place for some
months, the output of the coke and an
tniacite furnaces for July was 2,164.9o4
tons, a loss of 125, 1876 tons compared with
June. July had one more working day and
the daily average was the lowest since
July of last year, being 69,S73 tons, COM
pared with 1925 tons in June. During last
month % stacks were blown out and
eight blown in, making a net loss of IA
stacks from the active list in July. The

Their decline of production, but 1t has
not yet declined as much as seems to

business being brought out, following the

suitable plan for the transfer OF pas

In his letter Mr. Nesbitt says the
matter of transfer is not so grave at
this time, but ina smuch as Birming-

The letter is as follows:
Birmingham, Ala.
Mayor F. P. O'Brien, City.
Dear SRI note in the papers re-
port of the appointment of a joint
committee representing the railroads
and board of aldermen of Birmingham
to discuss plans and, IL possible, de-
eide upon the character of construc-
tion for viaducts on First avenue he
ginning at about Twenty sixth street.
In this connection there Is one mat
ter that should not be overlooked The
plans for this viaduct should, at the
point of crossing. the Louisville and
Nashville railroad tracks, make such
provision as will allow passengers
from or for Louisville and Nashville
trains to leave or board such trains
at this point and arrange for passing
from the bridge level to the track level
by suitable stairways. With the growth
of the city and increase of travel both
from points without and within the
state through Birmingham there Will
be constantly increasing necessity
in order to accommodate the travelling
public, for a quick means of trans
ferring from or to Louisville and Nash
Vile trains and the trains of other
roads using the Terminal station. p
little forethought in the construction
of this viaduct will maize 1t possible,
with little additional cost, to supply
this convenience when the accommoda
tion of the travelling public makes 1t
necessary.
I shall be obliged If you will trans
nit this letter or a message from your
self on the subject to the committee.

TRIED TO INITIATE
JUDGE SEARPE'S WORK

Zone of the most amusing incidents in
connection with the legal profession in
Jefferson county was the court decision
of a rural Justice of the peace" said
Judge John H. Miller yesterday.
'grhiA justice had heard a great deal
of the manner of Judge Henry A. Sharpe
on the bench of the city court of Birm-
ingham. and resolved to come to town
and witness his trial methods.
1T happened that on the day the JUS
tice visited the court Judge Sharpe was
trying non-jury case. The apparent
ease with which the judge announced
his rulings on points of law and pro-
cedure while he sat back comfortably in
his chair with his head resting on one
hand delighted the country justice i'm
mensely.
"At the close of argument by the at
torneys. Judge Sharpe announced that
he would take the case under advisement
and announce his decision next Monday.
THE justice came down from the court
thoroughly delighted with Judge Sharpe's
wisdom and methods He returned home
with his head full of new ideas for the
conduct OF his own court.
"A few weeks later he had a case of
considerable local Importance. 1t was
fought out with zeal by the opposing
attorneys. During the introduction of
evidence and the argument of attorneys
the justice initiated Judge Sharpe as far
as was possible, even resting his head
on his hand in an easy, Indifferent man
ner.
AT the close of the argument he said,
Gentlemen. 1 will take this case under
advisement and next Monday I will an
nounce my decision In favor of the
plaintiff "
