two to five acres in size, rarely more.
Flowing Is done with primitive
plows, consisting of rough hewn
pole or tongue to which Is fastened an
iron pointed stick, drawn by oxen.
These plows are not so easily injured
by the large loose rocks below the
surface of the soil as steel blades
would be. and the cost of labor,
about so cents American a day, makes
the demand for a modern time saving
implement slight. The results OBJ
tanned from this method of cultiva-
tion are excellent and the appearance
OF a newly plowed finca (farm) is
equal to that of the best English and
European market gardens.
The irrigation, which the average
yearly rainfall OF fifteen inches makes
imperative, Is supplied on these min
lature farms by the use of hand wa
tering cans. The larger farms have
cement lined stone reservoirs, somo
OF which have a capacity of several
thousand gallons. These are filled
from permanent streams by cement
troughs. These leads are economic
ally provided by forming cement
grooves on the tops OF the stone fenc-
es. which separate all the farms and
are often used in dividing hillside
farms Into terraces

This famous Englishman has two
distinct claims to fame. Not only was
he a brilliant poet, essayist and critic.
but much that we know Of Keats,
Shelley, Lamb, Byron, Moore, Cole
ridge, Dickens and Carlyle has been
derived from the knowledge Of these
celebrities which Hunt gave to the
world. Possessing happy spirit and
genuine scholarship, Leigh Hunts
writings sparkle with wit and clever
ness, while his TRANSACTIONS are among
the choicest of their kind. His pecu-
mary difficulties undoubtedly prevent
ed Hunt giving US his best at times,
but after he was granted pension
amounting In all to E 800 per annum
the improved comfort and augmented
leisure enabled him to make his mark
on English literature with essays OF
remarkable power.-Pearson's Weekly.

He had made 1t himself. turning 1t

TT is easy to feel that we are all right.

A bird in the bush looks ten times as

pect our friends to do us.
There is material difference be-
tween a check to expenses and check

We never know how provincial we
are until we discover how provincial
the fellow from the other place is.
With some men the affinity problem
seems to stretch into infinity.
A girl really does hate to give up the
privilege of managing half a dozen

TWO NOTABLE WINDOWS
ARE COMING TO MARION

Philadelphia, May 6.-(Specia1) THE
first stained glass window to be erected
in honor OF President Woodrow Viii
son. while he is yet very much alive, will
leave this city tomorrow on it's way to
Marion, where it is to be set up in the
school for boys in the south.
The window is entirely a Philadelphia
product the design being by Nicola D'As-
cenzo, whose work in glass and murals
has a national reputation, and the con-
struetion by craftsmen in his studios.
The window is the modern opalescent
glass, mostly amber in tone. The upper
portion of the panel displays portrait OF
the President, fanked by laurel leaves
on one side and oak on the other. In
the lower portion is a richly colored
drapery which bears the inscription, "se-
lected by Mr. Wilson from his published
works"
America is securely great not because
she has great men in her now, but only
as she can make sure of having great

GOFF TO RECEIVE
ADDITIONAL SALARY

Washington. May 6.-Senator Nathan
Goff of West Virginia will receive, aside
from his seNatorial salary of $780, an ad-
ditional $1,000 as full pay of a retired fed
eral circuit judge, making his compensa-
tion during his term in the Senate equal
TO the salary of an associate Justice of
the supreme court.
Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell
today granted the senator's application
FOR salary as a retired judge under the
law authorizing full pay to any federal
judge, who, having reached the age of
20, resigns after 10 years of service on
the bench. The comptroller held that a
retired judge performed no judicial duty
and consequently did not "hold a posi-
tIon within the meaning of the statute
prohibiting government employe from
drawing salary from two government
positions.

mingham is growing less musical? The
large audiences that attracted some OF
the virtuoso recitals of the season just
ended led those who are concerned about
high class music to hope that the time
was near when orchestral concerts could
be made to pay here, but unless the peo-
pie of Birmingham wake up and show
more interest In the enterprise of those
who undertake to promote the best in
musical art, it win be a long time before
a symphony Is ever heard here again.
Miss Edgel Adams who managed the
Cincinnati Symphony concerts, deserves,
it is said, the unqualified thanks of those
who did embrace the opportunity of hear
ing the music which she provided with
the assistance of 30 or 45 g-uarantors. Miss
Adams said she desired to express her
self publicly in appreciation of what

POTLATCH PRIZE
GIVEN AWAY BY THE
LOCAL ELKS' LODGE

Birmingham Lodge No. 49, Benevolent
Protective Order of Hks, at it's meeting
last night, added new laurels to their
enviable reputation for generosity by do
mating the prize of s240 won by them In
the recent potlatch celebration to st. An
drews Episcopal church and the Anti
tuberculosis association.
The local lodge of Ell1s received the
largest vote during the potlatch festivities
for the most popular fraternal order and
was awarded the prize by the potlatch
committee. At the meeting last night
the suggestion was made that the prize
money be equally divided, one half to be
donated to st. Andrews church build
ing fund, their church building having
been demolished in the recent storm that
swept that section of Birmingham, the
other half to the anti-tuberculosis camp.
The motion was carried by unanimous
vote and the secretary was instructed to
distribute the prize money to the above
institutions.
