distinguished visitors to the Jubilee. Ac-
companied by Mrs. Van Orsdale he ar
rived yesterday afternoon and they are

ter, Mrs John Wallace Luke. The Van

the highest ranking officers in the

cision. She is a member of one of the
most prominent families in Alabama.
but her intellect, her cleverness and her
artistic taste fit her especially for a po-
sition where judgment, taste and tact
are of equal Importance. Miss Knox
has visited in Birmingham several times
as the guest of Mrs. Frank Nelson and
of Miss Mary George Cruil1shank, and
society gives her the welcome that it
always accords girl of her many lovely
attributes. Brilliantly educated, mu-
stefan who has been given every advan-
tage for perfecting her art and one
whose home life is spent in surroundings
of culture and charm, she is splendidly
equipped for deciding upon a question In
which art is involved.
Mrs. Johnston's KEEN clever intellect
and familiarity with Birmingham affairs
through many years of residence are well
known and her interest in the success
of the jubilee In Its every phase gave
her the desire to have associated with
her those who are unbiased of Judgment.
They will give their decision, not ac-
cording to name but to number, for each
car is to have its number. Names of
owner or occupants will not be mem
toned in the discussion of the compare
tive merits of the vehicles.
There will be four trophies, all silver
and all very handsome. 1t is said that.
while the number of cars is not as great
as might be. they will make up in beauty
what they lack In the other respect.
They are to be varied that the judges
will doubtless have great difficulty in
arriving at a decision. Al any rate, in the
pleasure that will be given to all lovers
of the beautiful today by those who
enter their cars in the parade, there
should be great satisfaction, for a floral
parade is one of the most beautiful spec
tacles that a people may enjoy.

THE JUDGES APPOINTED
FOR FLORAL PARADE

The distribution of trophies for the
decorated ears in the floral parade to-
day will be in the hands of three judges.
Mrs. Richard Johnston was appointed
chairman of the committee several
weeks ago with the privilege of choos-
ing her assistants. She decided imme-
daitely to ask two out-of-town, people.
One Albanian, Miss Carrie Knox of An
niston, and one gentleman from another
state, Col. John T. Van Orsdale OF the
Seventeenth regiment, Fort Mcpherson,
Georgia, will act with her in the capac-
ity of judges.
Mrs. Johnstons choice, in each case,
was very wise one, and an unbiased
decision, her principal aim, will undoubt-
edly be the climax Of their Judgment.

HOW PRACTICAL EDUCATION
PAYS.

The Topeka Mall and Breeze tells
this storyette Of a Kansas farmer and
his two boys which illustrates point
equally applicable in Texas:
| Here is case in point which shows
how practical education will count. A
Kansas man who owned good but
small farm sent his two boys to the
Agricultural college. He kept few
cows and sold cream to the creamery.
He managed to live and even get
ahead a little, and supposed that he
was a pretty up-to-date sort of dairy
man.
When the boys came home they did
the sensible thing. They did not study
law or medicine, but took hold of the
farm dairy. The first thing they did,
however, was to find out whether the
COWS were really making any money
for their father. They carefully test.
ed the milk of each COW. The old man
had been simply putting all the milk
together, good, bad and Indifferent.
The test showed that half the cows
were not paying for their keep. The
other half were carrying all the load.
That wasn't good business. The cows
that weren't paying expenses were
fattened and sold for beef and other
cows that made money for their owner
were bought and put in their places.
AS a result of the business methods
instituted by the educated young men,
the output of the herd and milk and
butter fat was doubled with the same
number of cows. 1t cost no more to
feed the good cows than the poor
ones, but the net income was dou-
bled.
The old order is changing. The
farmer Of the future must be an ed.
ucated business man if he wants to
make the most out of his land. 1t is
true that there are some born farm
ers who seem to have natural gen.
ius for making money. They are nat
ural judges of stock and they have
remarkable judgment about the best
kind of crops to raise on certain kinds
Of ground, but even that sort OF man
would be twice as efficient if he were
thoroughly educated and trained for
his business.

the Alumni Association, he has been
instrumental in starting the move
ment for Y. M. G. A. building, and
to him is no doubt due large part
of the success of the maturing plan.
AS a sincere, loyal, and faithful
friend of the A. and NJ. college, he
has secured high honor for his val
liable services, and it is needless to
say that as one of those who will
stand at the helm Of its future poll
cies, he will do ali within his power
to make it prosper.
