Crack Filler.

Cracks in a floor, caused by the
spreading apart of the boards, are OBJ
jectionable because they catch dust
and dirt. A simple and effective crack
filler Is made from newspapers. Tear
the paper into small bits, soak in hot
water, and mix with warm flour paste.
Fill the cracks with this mixture,
which should be thick, spreading the
paste with a knife. Another good
filler consists of a mixture Of glue and
sawdust. Heat the glue until melted
and for one pound of glue, before
melting, allow one gallon Of water.
When melted, stir into 1t fine saw
dust until thick paste results. Fill
the cracks with this, packing 1t down
solidly and smoothing 1t over with q
knife blade. When the filler Is thor.
oughly dried the floor may be stained

Temptatlon Hard to Resist.

A luscious, ripe watermelon, 1t
seems, furnishes too great tempta-

fronted with 1t and has the chance to
get away with the melon. So the ag.

large, according to speaker at the
recent meeting Of the Western Fruit
Jobbers' association at st. Louis. A
committee was appointed to try to
lessen the temptation and save tho
melons.

WE'LL FORECASTS
UNDERWOOD EASY
VICTOR IN SPRING
Majority in Jefferson Will
Exceed Total Vote of the
Counties HObson Might
Happen to Carry

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald:
While the primary for the democratic
nomination and election for United States
senator from Alabama will not take
place till about next April or May, and
it is something unusual to forecast re-
suits SO far ahead. this particular cleo
ton seems such an easy job I have de-
cided to make a lump forecast now.
Speaking of the situation at this time
from what information I have received
from nearly every county in the state
and such information as l secured while
in Mobile last Monday, and without pref
udice because of the fact that / will
cast my vote for Mr. Underwood, 1 shall
give the voters of Alabama my true and
honest opinion and judgment as to what
the result win be.
Jefferson county alone will give Oscar
Underwood over Hobson a larger major
ity than the few counties that Hobson
may carry will poll votes.
I will say further that 1 am unable to
pick a single county at this time that
Hobson will carry and | feel so con-
vinced in my own mind about this fore
cast that the election of Underwood will
be so one-sided that it will be useless
to make another forecast before the
election. One of the little boys in town
will be able to do that by that time, and
the country at large might as well feel
sure that Oscar w. Underwood will be
the next senator from Alabama.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS TO
ATTEND ROAD MEET

Montgomery, october 29.-(Speeial.)
Superintendent of Education Henry J,
Willingham today issued a statement
calling upon all school officials and
local trustees of the state to attend
the Alabama Good Roads association
meeting at Mobile, November 90, q
and %.
Good schools and good roads so
hand in hand" says the superintendent
of education. The rural sections of
Alabama are making decided improve
ment in many ways in their public
schools, but observation leads me to
believe that the better rural schools
are located usually in those sections
which have improved their public
highways. The encouragement of good
roads is really an encouragement for
better public schools"
