Two men, just recently college profess sors at that-have been adding to the gaiety of the nation.
 One of these professors halls from the University of Pennsylvania and the other from Tufts college, Medford, Mass.
 Both have given out their views rather freely upon what they deem the right sort of person to be chosen as teachers"
 Long and elaborate reasons have been promulgated by each as to what qualities count most. but with all their learned l logic in arguing, the question is still at sea.
 This controversy came to my mind yes terday when a little glimpse of a little school house around the corner was &C., corded, where the closing exercises were being held and where the teacher reigns

Sweet peas and mas turtiums, lilies and roses made each apartment a bower of beauty and sweet ness, and Mrs. Murdoch in white laces and embroideries met her friends with calm grace in keeping with the restful surroundings.
 This bright woman intensely interested in so many broad Issues, genuinely loves the club which she helped to organize and has given so much of her energy toward fostering; she makes each final meeting so lovely an occasion that it Is one of the sweetest of vacation memo ries. Some original suggestion is always introduced and yesterday a unique note was sounded by Mrs. Murdoch when she asked her friends each to bring some token signifying her especial fad. This was the inspiration for some witty con- fessions and clever responses to pleas for explanations as to why these things should be. A clever contest was engaged in, and prizes including two sets of gold pins and silver deposit hatpin holder were awarded.
 The close of the afternoon was marked by a dainty luncheon, salads and ices be- ing> served from the dining room. The on | of the club.

SHE'LL BY DESERVES CREDIT
 FOR GROWING ALFALFA
BY WALTER HARPER

The writer of this department has re- ceived an anonymous postal card from farmer at Nevada, Shelby county, Ill which the correspondent says:
 We beg to differ with you as to sheipy county not being able to grow afaifa. Shelby county will produce as good as Greene, Sumter or any of the others you mentioned. While our acreage IS not so large, yet the few acres l have are glv- Ing good results, and will add 10 more this fall. Yours truly,
 "oNE WHO IS GROWING IT."
 Now. there is no argument that can touch the man who Is doing It. VIII admit that alfalfa may be grown in Shel- by county. I have seen it growing Ill both Shelby and Talladega counties.
 I do not know the name of my corTe- spendent, but have probably seen ms farm. If have not been on 1t nave been close to it, and that within the past 12 mcnths. I know something or the nature of the soil and it's great fertility. It Is among the best in the state where sandy loam and a strong red clay preooih- mate. It is fine for corn, cotton, small grain and potatoes. It is not alfalfa land.
 But that does not mean that alfalfa will not grow on it.
 It Is greatly to the credit of this Shelby county man that he can and will grow all falfa profitably on land that is not adapt ed to its culture, while thousands of acres of black belt lands that are specially htteo for the growing of the hay without prepa- ration >or inoculation are never planted to alfalfa.
 I saw a patch of alfalfa few weeks ago growing on the sand and stony hilis of Winston county, where there IS not enough Houston black clay to soil pair of patent leather shoes. But the alfalfa was growing there all the same.
 However alfalfa will grow on the rich red and even the black lands of Shelby and Talladega counties, and with toier- able success, but the Shelby county farm- CT will have to pay the price. He may grow alfalfa profitably.
 This is even stronger and more convinc- ing argument that the Houston clay and the Houston black clay lands of the black

 As I stated before, I do not know the name of my esteemed correspondent or the exact location of his farm, but l do l know that lands in his community are held at a.. higher value than those that will grow from three to nve good crops ,f alfalfa every year. In some respects they are better than the alfalfa lands, and in point of development they are far superior. u l.,

 A teacher must care for the little minds and bodies intrusted to her as if they were her own.

 The woman who gives her life to the teaching of other womens children very seldom gets in return the glory that should go with great sacrifice, but to Mrs. Alice D. Orr, who next year will complete her 70 years service as a teach CT has been accorded the sweetest hom- age both from pupil and parent that has ever been given. Many of the finest young boys of this community-those who have taken first honors in the great universities-these
