 You read the words on d tablet by the side of tall and slender gray house in quiet street of Verona. few steps further on tho busy life of the old city is centered in the market place and in the one or two streets that lead from it.

Water Not As Free As Air"

From Water Conservation by Cities
 Edward W. Bennis. in the. Review of
 Reviews.
 We often hear if said that water should be free as air. And so it is, in lake or brook or mountain spring. But pure. clean. soft water. at a pressure sufficient for the modern home. can never be free as air. The lake or river a few miles distant that gave us satisfactory water ten years ago is now polluted by the summer tourists or the permanent settlers on it's shores. Because water Is free as air as it flows by the door of the farmer. or rises in the well of the village householder. -se do not realize how much it costs in the modern city. Along some rivers, even in cities. the residents may still obtain water free if they are willing to transport it from a nearby supply and the indifferent as to it's quality. But for d pure water supply we must go farther and farther away. bring water from dis tant lakes and mountain streams or pump 1t from deep wells, or filter. at great expense. the waters that were once our joy and tonic. The expense thus en- tailed enough at best. If the present ra- tio of waste and leakage continues. the problem will indeed be serious.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
About Foreign Missions
To the Editor of the Age-Herald.

10 the Editor Of the Age-Herald
 There is great movement being start ed in our country in the interest of for eign missions. The command to preach the gospel in all the world was given by the Son of God. It is imperative, l say obey 1t. In this movement, however we should not forget our duty to our neigh bors while we are thinking and doing for those who are far away from us. There are some sections of our own country that are perhaps without preach CTS. We have old women and old men and orphans and deserted children that we must provide for
 Of course, we must take care of our helpless sick. The liberality of our peo- pie to all worthy objects is highly com mendable. The gift recently of S1,O00 by some unknown person to the sick, living in tents beyond Red Mountain, was a most gracious act.
 For opportunities to do good there is no end. If the sayings and doings of Christ were enthroned in the minds and hearts of men want would soon dlsap- pear from the world. Many of US arc impure and what we need is the touch of some friendly hand and words of en- oouragement. IL is not clean and strong manhood and pure Womanhood that needs helping hand and sympathy. it is the weak and the thoughtless. God will for us all better and cleaner lives

Consolidation of Rural Schools

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The educational department of the state is advocating consolidation of rural schools. By such consolidation the state would greatly increase the teaching force For example. say, school with an en- rollment of 50 pupils will, perhaps, have all grades to be taught and only one teacher to do the work Now consolidate te this school with one of like nature and what is the result We find that each teacher will be enabled to do double the amount of work they did before such consolidation. Great good can be accom- plished by concentration of effort. II is the we'll regulated. long term schools are doing the most effective work.
 The same will apply 10 special schools doing work along special lines. It is a recognized fact that this is a day of spe- cial training and we must have schools 10 suit all such conditions and requirements. For instance, We can never hope to re- lease from our public schools the high standard of work the university is doing but each has it's place to fill Auburn. Montevalo, the Normal schools, as well as all our other schools, are doing the work along their special lines and filling the places allotted to them in our great school system. and fl is well for us .o have all these different schools in order to reach all classes and conditions. but one among the most important schools that the state has yet established is the Alabama School of Trades and Industries located at Ragland for white boys. there being no other school of like ma sure in the state. This school will teach and train boys in the different trades and occupa- tions, and where students are unable 10 pay thcir way through. provision will he made for them to work their way through. This school will assist q large army of boys who are not qualified to at tend the higher institutions of learning. but will be a feeder to and d stepping stone to such institutions.
 IL is to be hoped that the state will find itself able in the near future to make the money available that has been appropri- ated for this school No state can make a better investment than that of raising the standard Of it's citizenship by hclpin-, it's citizens to help themselves.

From the Westminster Gazette.
 Some amusing anecdotes of Mir. Jo- seph Farquaharson. A. R. A. are re- lated by Archdeacon Sinclair in "Thc Art Annual" (Virtue & Co). The paint CT was staying with a stalker in Ross shire, who often watched him at work. Some time afterwards his master met him and asked him about the artist. Donald was very eulogistic. MT Far auaharson's pictures are just grand i: they are almost as good as photo graphs"' "Mr. Joseph is a gran han at paintin. sheep" said a farmer to the minister at Finzean: T wonder the doctor (the artists elder brother. the laird), disna get him to paint his por- trait?" When MT Farqua harson was in America, and was spending a couple of days in the Yosemite valley, Mir Brown tackled himself on to him on the way there. He ss-examined him most minutely. even to the price of his garments, and discovered that he was an artist. The first night in the yal- ley, at dinner. he asked him if he would do him a sketch of the place. "I should prize a souvenir of that sort he said. much more than anything of intrinsic value"

REPUBLICANS TALK
 OF RETALIATION
If Democrats Oppose Them Now They Will Start Trouble Themselves When Wilson's Appoint
 ments Begin
By c. E. STEWART

Washington, December 9-(Special) )- Many of the appointees of President Taft. whose nominations are being and will be sent to the Senate for eonfirma- tion during the closing days of his ad- ministration are destined to be kept upon the anxious seat for a while. for it is evident that many democratic senators are very much opposed to the wholesale appointment programme inaugurated by the President and will bring everything in their power to bear against the con iIi;ss so ssss,Ify
 It is said that some democratic sena- tors favor the confirmation of appointees in states where the. senators are republi- can, provided the appointments meet the approval of the senators, but that they are opposed to confirming 8 single ap- pointee at this late hour in states that are represented in the Senate by demo- crats. It Is possible that an agreement may be reached along these lines, though 1t is by no means certain.
 Republican senators warn their demo-
