BURKART NAMED JURY COMMISSIONER
Appointment Comes as Sur prise to Cullman
 Citizen

Cullman, January Especial )-C. Burkart, one of the most prominent politicians and business men of Hance been notified of his appointment as a member of the jury commission of this county by Governor Emmett ONeal. MT. Burkart has been appointed to take the place of Jackson Kelly, whose time ex- pires. Mir. Burkarts appointment to this office comes as quite a surprise to both his friends and MT. Burkart. In speaking of the matter yesterday, MT Burkart said.
 q cannot conceive why Governor O'Neal should appoint me to this posi- tion. I have never been an applicant for the place and so far as l know my name has never been called to the att tention of the governor as suitable man for the place. The notification comes as quite surprise to me I have never dreamed of such thing. Governor O'Neal undoubtedly appoint ed me thinking that possibly he owed me some little consideration and it was for that reason he appointed me to the place more than for any other req son"
 Mir. Burkart is very prominent dem ocrat in this section of Alabama and is q far seeing man in a political way, and his ideas are generally based on good reason and sound judgment. He is strong for Underwood for President.
 When asked for an interview on the distinguished Alabamian. he said: T am for Underwood first, last and all the time. In my opinion, he is the grea test man in the democratic party today, as a leader and a statesman he has no superior l believe in Oscar Underwood the democrats have a win ner in the coming campaign, and Ala bama should follow the example of several of her sister states and send a delegation to the convention instruct ed for Underwood. l am for MT. Under wood first, because he is from Ala bama; but even if he was from another state, his work in Congress has dis played his marvellous ability as a lead CT, and I would be for him anyway. IL seems that MT. Underwood will get the nomination, and if he does Alabama and the south will have the honor of being the home of the next President of the United States"

CORN CLUB GROWS
 RAPIDLY AT CUBA
Much Interest Also Displayed in the Girls Tomato Club-P0litical
 Pot Begins to Simmer

Cuba, January 19.-(Special )-Twenty- one boys have been added to the Boys Corn club work in this town as result of a trip made here by MT. J. D. Hobay of the agricultural department, who made a talk to the school boys this week. At Swain's school another large crowd was added so that by the work of these boys more than 1000 bushels of corn will be added to the production of Cuba beat.
 In connection with the corn club work, Miss Fannie Rainer has organized a Girls Tomato club with F members. This to- mato work is especially needed on account of the canning factory.
 The members of each club will be of fered prizes by the town in addition to the state prizes. A. l.. Vaughan, vice president of the Bank of Cuba, is head ing the list with a goodly sum. More questions are asked on the culture of these crops than a government expert could easily answer.
 Farmers here are astounded over the proposition coming from a republican tc suspend the tariff on potatoes for six months and are taking the matter up with their representatives to see that mo change is made. Preparations are mak- ing to plant a full crop, but if the tariff of 25c bushel is taken off there will be no incentive to plant enough to supply the markets and reduce the price.
 A called meeting of the town council will be called to meet Monday for the pur- pose of putting gum vending machines out of business. When the privilege tax of $25 was placed on them it was thought the companies would withdraw then but they have not done so.

mon. 1t is true that he was not paid
and has no whisky but he had a daZ-
cling dream while it lasted. He
figured from a price list in his posses
nothing He used the ratio system as
per price list. For instance, this list
advertised a whisky named after a
famous sea captain for so cents per
quart. If he bought four quarts it
was SO cents quart; if he bought six
quarts, it was so cents a quart; if he
bought IL quarts, it was only As cents,
and on a 40 quart order he would only
have to pay 3S cents. So he went on
down the list, and finally figured that
If he bought 500 quarts, it would only
cost him one cent a quart, following
the heretnbefore referred to ratio sys-
there. He did not dare to go any fur
Their. And he threw the price list
away and made no order at all.
Another man opened his mail and
found therein a gaudily printed, hand
decorated parchment or diploma set
ting forth the fact that he was en-
titled to quart of the best whisky
ever distilled since the Huguenots
ploma, at first glance, looked like a
commission as brigadier general or
director of the affairs of the worlds
exposition. The man made him
self ready to send his address by re-
turn mail in order to reap the profits
of this quart of whisky. But he found
printed in small type at the bottom
that it would be necessary for Dim to
purchase five or six dollars worth of
certain brand of delirium tremens and
lost jobs before he could get his quart
of free whisky And so it goes all
the way down the line, glittering Of

woe and trouble and burned out

telling people what they ought or
ought not to do, but the wise man
