We were leaving a railway station. but pres ently it was as if we had set sail on a gray sea, with a long ground swell such as we remembered from Old Castle.

Mobilization and Peace Proposals

The mobilization that Germany, Austria and Russia are said to be in- dulging in is not war Those nations may be getting ready against possi- bilities, but they are at the same time seeking road away from a war that would involve an awful expenditure of life and treasure. Modern wars are very expensive and each nation named will avoid one if avoidance be possible without the sacrifice of hon. or and prestige. The diplomats are at work as well as the soldiers.
 It is said the peace proposals now being discussed contain these proposi- tions laid down by Bulgaria.:
 First-Turkey must renounce the occupied territory outside line from Mida, on the Black Sea, through Sarai and Tchorlu to the mouth of the Mer- itza river.
 Bulgaria is to occupy the Tchataldja district as far as San Ste fano until war indemnity of S140,- 100000 is paid.
 The terms that the plenipotentaries are discussing may not be accurately or fully known, but so long as they are discussing any proposals of peace there is hope, and no one need watch distressfully the mobilization of three jealous powers.

 Tt is very probable that after Shee- han Is installed. he will be able to continue his work with the Advertiser. He will be able to write his editorials at home after business hours. There Is great enthusiasm among his friends and we are going out and get the job for him.
 "Sheehan has been with the Advertiser for long number of years, and his friends all over the state will be glad to learn that he will probably land the postoffice at Montgomery without a stren- uous struggle.

A SLIGHT DIsAGREEMENT

 At one time yesterday It looked like we was going to have little trouble here in the dining room, but 1t dian come to nothin much," related the lano- lord of the Torpidville Tavern.

And Maxine, or Sylphie, whichever 1t was, got sorter fussy about 1t and answered that she was too, and she didn't care who knew it! And then they kind O tied in on each other and went round and round, as it were, and it took em quite while after 1t was over to wash the ketchup and broken glass out of their eoffers, as they call their hair But that's all it amounted to, and there's no use in hrin' 'em, for ladies Will pc ladies and there ain't no help Tor It.

Alabamlans Must Help Themselve.

Col N. F. Thompson. leading spirit in

 the time has come when Alabamians must help themselves
 There Is no question:" he stated yes- terday afternoon, "but that advertising
 the worth of Alabama land in foreign
 territory will accomplish little of good
 until we, ourselves, get busy. When We
 tell the people of Chicago that we have
 cheap land in Alabama which can pro-
 duce countless bales of cotton and count
 less bushels of corn per acre, they ask
 in turn why all of us are not over flowing with money.
 But if we go forth and tell the people that we are producing great quantities of corn and cotton and that we are pros porous. the people instantly evince inter- est, and state their intention of coming down and looking over the situation. We have a great work before us. But we have got to accomplish great things ourselves"

Judge s. D. weakIex Returns

Judge Samuel D. Weakley. former chief justice of the supreme court of Ala bama, together with Mrs. WealSley and their two daughters, have returned from four months trip in Europe.
 We were all in excellent health CUT ing the whole time said Judge Weaklcy, ,and there was not a single mishap to mar the pleasure of our trip. We went as far north as Inverness in Scotland and throughout England. Belgium. Holland, Germany and as far south as Rome, re- turning by way of Paris.
 "Of course, the thing which differen- tiates Europe so strikingly from Ameri a is the finished appearance of everything In all the European countries. There is no indication of a bright future for these places, and there seems to be little op- portunity for a young man to advance from the condition in which he was born.
 Much of our time was spent looking at the magnificent examples of art in these foreign countries, including paint ing sculpture, and architecture. The magnificent cathedrals are among the most striking things one sees abroad. Another thing that impresses the American is the magnificent highways in every country through which you pass. These fine highways even extend to the mountainous sections and they are kept in the most perfect condition. While we were gone think we travelled in every conveyance known to man except an airship. We took trips on the lakes in Scotland, Switzerland and Italy and saw the countries from practically every as- pect.

The Argus Daily Story
A Good Scheme-By Edward O. Long.
Copyrighted. 1919 by Associated Literary Bureau

Tnere are a number Of problems be-
fore the counterfeiter," said my friend
Roberts, the detective. but the most
important of all is distributing the bills
after they are made. There's more
room for ingenuity in this part Of the
work than any other. and more coun-
terfeiters are tracked from this clew
than any other. All sorts of devices
are resorted to to get the stuff in cir
culation- Persons are roped in by be-
ing offered an enormous price for some
thing they own, and when they get
their pay find that the money they
have received Is counterfeit. In such
cases the transaction is usually large,
and when it Is completed the rascals
disappear without leaving any trace.
OF methods whereby the bills are put
into circulation in a small way and con-
tinuously q case that fell into my
hands q few years ago is about the
best example ever met with.
81 was sent to q banker who had
reported some FIVE dollar bill counter
feits on his banks circulation. Every
now and again q lot Of these bills
would appear, be absorbed and after
awhile another lot would find their
way into the hands principally of
shopkeepers. The only clew that any
body had was this: An old man one
day went into drug store and, after

1851, when Abraham Lincoln received
only 1891 per cent of the total vote
cast.
Was that any evidence Of unftness?
Was that discreditable to him? Was
that any argument?
Woodrow wilson received 42.3 per
cent Of the total vote with the trusts
against him, the Perkins, Cranes,
Films, Guggenheims, and two power
full political organizations fighting
him, and with more Misrepresentation

possibly Bryan, ever had to contend
with.

Several times within the past few
months We have been asked to write
something on THE Value Of Paper In
the Home" 1t Is a timely subject and
am sure all will be interested in its
various uses, but We shall have to d.
vide it into several articles. AS most
women know something Of the paper
bag, we shall tell of its value, and
other things will follow later. OF all
that has been said, written and DEM
onstrated on paper bag cooking far
and near within the past few months,
1t would seem there was very little oc-
casion or necessity for further elab-
grafton on the subjct. There are some
things, however, which are not clear
to the housekeepers in the use OF
these bags.
Whenever new departure is made
in any science there is a reason for
1t. This was true Of Mr.. Soyer, the
great London chef and originator OF
this particular method of cooking. In
all his experiments and tests he had
a principle on cooking which he held
constantly in mind. First, all foods
were improved In flavor; second, very
little If any Of the food value was
destroyed; third, less attention was
necessary while in the oven and less
heat need be used to accomplish all
this; last, but not least, the heat
must pass entirely around the bag
while cooking. 1t is not a new inven
ton, but never before has it been ap
piled as systematically as in the pres
ent series of experiments.
l was asked the other day, Gar
we cook everything in these bags?'
You have heard, no doubt, Of the
great painter, who, when asked how
he mixed his paints, replied 'Witf
brains, SIR" We need this same ele
ment well mixed with all cooking, but
particularly when some new advice
or method is used, such as paper bas
cooking, brains must be greatly in evi
dence.
1t is so easy to take up with new
fads for awhile and then drop them
this is expensive in time, effort and
money to the housekeeper. 1t is mucl
better to find out what, why or WHERE
this cooking is better than any of oul
former methods and then apply thest
principles to the work For instance
Mr.. Soyer states, "the bags must b.
laid on a wire broiler so the heat cal
pass entirely around the food" Thu
broiler in our ovens are made from
wires too far apart to have the ex
perienced housekeeper try to remove
the bag from the oven when the foot
is done. The bag is apt to break anC
the contents spilled. Here is where
brains come to the rescue. Plan som'
device-not necessarily mine-wher'
the wires are closer together thai
those of the broiler. My own exper
fence with apples, where lost ali o
the juice trying to get them out o
the oven, made me think and thinl
until l said: Eyes, my wire cake-cool
er is just the thing and I'll also see
there is not better bag made" Boil
