POSTAL SAVINGS
 BANK FOR ENSLEY
Will Be Opened About the First of June and Ready
 for Business

Official information has been received from the postoffice department at Washington that a postal savings bank will be established at Ensley and that the system will go in effect about the first of June, 1911. The establishment of a postal savings bank at this point is a distinct honor for the Ensley post office and further removes the possi- bility of a consolidation with the Bir. mingham office.
 Postmaster J. x. Tn omas will install the system as soon as the necessary blanks and papers can be received from the general department and will be ready to receive deposits on or about the above date. This will be the sec ond postal savings bank to be estab- lshed in the state of Alabama. The first one was started at Bessemer and went in effect on the first of the present year.
 That the bank will prove popular is generally conceded as the one estab- lished at Bessemer has been a success from the beginning and it was prob ably due to that fact that Ensley was selected by the department as the con- ditions industrial and otherwise are practically the same
 Not Yet, But Soon
 Quite number of the leading citi- zens of Ensley and vicinity attended the meeting of the commissioners of Birmingham last Saturday and some or them took part in the discussion of the granting of scent fare on the Ems ley car lines. This is a question that has been the subject of much discus- sion by the several commercial bodies of the Steel City and requests have been made from time to time to the Birmin gham Railway Light and Power company to grant the people living on the Ensley car lines 5-cent fare.
 It has been the slogan of political but neither their promises nor the requests of the commercial bodies have brought about any relief from what is alleged to be unjust dis erimination.
 When the commissioners of Birming- ham took the matter up the people of these communities felt that relief was near at hand but after the meeting ldSI SdluTQdy It Seel1lS lndI the com missioners are without power to en- force the 5-cent fare and it is under stood that the railroad commission of Alabama will be appealed to to bring about an adjustment of this much moot ed question.

COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
I think that enough can hardly be
said about that dreadful weed, the Sow
Thistle. 1t is only a very short time
since | learned to know it and think |
would be safe in saying hat not more
than half of the people in the county
know this thistle when they see it and
a still smaller number realize that it is
one of the very worst weeds we can let
get a foot-hold on our farms. AS yet,
there are only a few small patches here
and everyone should do everything they
can to eyterminate it now. A short dis
lance away it has the appearance of a
sunfower and is quite harmless looking.
J. thought 1t was common mllkweed, but
l notice wherever it gets a start it takes
absolute possession. No grain will grow
besides it. Mr.. Alex. Mclean told me
a few days ago of his visit down IN the
Valley, neal Backoo, where he says the
the SOW thistle has almost destroyed the
chance of cropping that part of Pembina
county. On one farm there were fonr
hundred acres of grain being plowed
down that had been destroyed by SOW
thistle. In the last two weeks | have
run across seven scattered patches here
in this comfy. They were all small, from
one to two rods square. | have pulled
them all out. Some of them l have
visited a second time and have found
more stalks in bloom. They grow very
fast, mature early and have an immense
amount of seed, that is carried all over
by a down, the same as the we'll known
Canadian thistle. Farmers in the Valley
say it is one of the worst weeds they
have and that now is the time for US to
get rid of it. One patch a rod square,
left now to 90 to seed will be enough to
destroy the crop of a whole section. The
patches that | pulled were on DR.. Dono-
vans farm near Wales: VIM. Herrlcks'
farm near Dresden: P. w. Ault's farm
neal Easily and a patch west Of Easily
near Frank Kellner's. If the parties
will watch these seven patches they can
be kept from seeding this year. The
chances are there are lots of patches and
if every one will look for them and de-
stroy them it will save US an immense
mount of trouble and loss in the years
to come. Respectfully,
JOHN MAHoN.

A Poet For the Fun of 1t.

Many persons who think they are
poets take the matter too seriously.
The other day a man died at seventy
who for many years had been a poet
Just for the fun of it. He enjoyed
writing verse, and he wrote some that
was real poetry, but he made his liv-
ing practicing law. The passing Of
"Ironquill," Eugene T. Ware of Kan
sas, leaves a void in American life
and literature which never can be
filed. He was a humorist with a dis
tinct style of his own, whimsical,
quaint and original. He was eminent
as a lawyer, the author of legal books
Of high value, and he served as Unit
ed States pension commissioner. Also
he served five years and three months
in the United States army, through
the civil war and in Indian campaigns.
But it was as a writer Of verse which
is unique that Eugene Ware will be
remembered.
Mr.. Ware never pelted the maya
zine and other periodical editors with
poems for sale. When he dashed off
something that he just couldn't help
he handed it over gratis to a Topeka
newspaper editor. who was glad to
print it. He signed all his productions
of this sort 'Ironquill." He didn't wish
to be known in the matter. He was
not ashamed of his work: in fact, he
liked it himself. But be was a hard
working lawyer with a large practice.
and he feared that a reputation as a
poet would injure his career as a law
yer. SO he chung to his non de plume
even after William Dean Howells "dis-
covered" him and helped to make him
famous. Rhymes of Ironquill" in
book form went into many editions,
but it is said that MI. Ware gave all
the proceeds to charity.
Eugene Wares wit. as expressed in
his rhymes, was always good natured.
1t was the scintillating of a bright and
boyish spirit. He wrote because he en-
joyed the writing, and he published
because he wanted others to enjoy his
point of view. The genial Kansan add
ed to the joys of his generation.

One of the important items in grow
ing:corn Is the selection and caring for
the seed. Now is the time to make
plans fol- selecting the seed. Gather it
in the field. Selecting good ears that
mature early, that grow on the kind of
stalk that is desirable. When gathered
remove the shucks and piles into a rack
made of laths nailed onto each side of
2x4s, placing the ears so they do not
touch. They can be hung up on strings
Or any way so that afro an circulatesfree-
ly around them. An upstairs room or
the attic in the house is a good place to
put the rack, provided the air can pass
through freely. Never place seed corn in
or over grain bins in granary. If the
corn freezes before dry 1t will not grow.

Strenuous Statesmen,

A recent b%iographer of Speaker
Champ Clark relates an incident of
the big Missourian's youth which goes
to show that the old fashioned states
man of the physically strenuous type
has not disappeared altogether from
the arena. Clark taught a country
school in Kentucky a few years after
the close of the war. when he was
still just a big boy. Many Of his pu-
pills We're grown men who had fought
through the war. Having no armed
foe to fight. they evinced a tendency
toward fighting the teacher. 1t was
the rule in those days for a "boy"
who had been whipped to quit school.
Clark began on a twenty-five-year-old
ex-sergeant Of cavalry. The ex-ser-
geant quit school. The future speaker
soon whipped the school attendance
down from ninety-seven to forty
eight, says the ~biographer, after which
he had peace.
Half a century ago, and even later.
the fighting statesman was numerous
in this country. There We're men in
both house and senate who went
| around with chips Oh their shoulders,
figuratively speaking, ready to fight at
the drop of q hat. Fisticuff braWls
were common and popular in Washing
ton. It was not a very unusual thing
for an eminent statesman to be engag-
ed in a miXup with an enemy. and such
affairs appear to have added to the
| glory of the performers. Nowadays a
fstic affair between statesmen is re-
| garded as ~disgraceful both in Wash,
ington and in the home districts of the
participants. Brain has triumpheo
over Drawn. winning the honors every
time.
When Mr.. Clark was a schoolteachel
it probably was necessary for him tc
decrease the population of the school
house by methods of Drawn, so thar
he could apply methods Of brain to hi:
work, but since he got into congress h
has been conspicuous, like the major
ity of his colleagues. as an eXponen
of the theory that words fight harde

Wherever there is war there
must be injustice on one side or on
both. There have been wars
which were little more than trials Of
strength between friendly nations
and in which the injustice was not
to each other, but to the God who
gave them life. But in a malignant
war there's injustice ofignobler kind
at once to God and man which
must be stemmed for both their
