Buckeye.
At this point is located the naval
stores plant owned by Mr.. w. d. Owen,
Jr., Of Atmore, and those that had the
opportunity of seeing thiS point would
no doubt appreciate the vast growth
OF the virgin timber for miles sur
rounding this station.
Pine Forrest.
At this point Is located a prosperous
community of farmers and although
the center OF this community is about
three-fourths OF q mile from the rail-
road, 1t is fast moving towards the
line, as no doubt was observed from
the fact that two new stores have been
built there since the line has been in
operation. The principal crop Of this
point Is cotton.

Although the Atmore station on this
line is located about tfaree-fourths of a
mile from the center of At1nore. never

this will help build the town of At

this community is very productive and
three -fourths to a bale of cotton per
acre can be raised.
Freemanville.
At this point is located the Southern

a prosperous farming section. This
also is a point where the Southern
States Lumber Company consolidate
their shipments OF logs to be hauled

Too much cannot be said OF this
prosperous little town, and those that
saw the enthusiasm shown by the peo-
pie in that community when this
special train arrived can fully appre-
ciate that this town is not only pros
porous, but appears successful in all
Its undertakings. About 300 people
greeted the train at this point and
the town is fast growing to the rail-
road. Mr.. Mccullough and Mr.. Teate
both own large stores. which have been
built since the line went into opera

town will be on the present line OF

PROGRESSIVE CLEVELAND.

Just what progress the city of Cleve.
land is making we are not certain, but
Cleveland is certainly working con.
stantly for better government
That city has adopted a new char
ter that is quite interesting. The vot-
ers will hereafter elect a mayor and
at the same time elect one alderman
from each of 26 wards. This leaves
the old aldermanic system of ward
representation, but there are no party
primaries. Partisan politics is elimi-
mated. The nominations are made by
petition with election by preferential
voting. Each voter may designate
his first and second choice to prevent
the necessity OF a second election. The
charter also provides for the recall of
the mayor and of aldermen and is for
titled with a referendum.
This sounds like a good plan. The
commission form is better because re-
sponsibility is more definite and easier
20 fix. The fundamentals of the Cleve-
land charter and the Illinois municipal
commission plan are the same, how
ever.
The best thing that any city can do
is TO eliminate partisan politics from
municipal government. 1t has no place
there. 1t is a retarding factor. 1t
can cause only chaos and confusion
The Cleveland plan therefore is big
improvement over the old plan.
Chicago with all it's municipal po
litical upheavals needs a form of gov,
/ eminent such as provided IN the
. Cleveland charter The Legislature
should make it possible for Chicago &c
| have this much needed relief. Hi
noisans are all interested in Chicago
because we believe that as Chicago is
such a big part of Illinois, good mu
nicipal government in that city would
indirectly prove a benefit TO the res
of the state.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS AND
THE RURAL SCHOOL.

The Importance of the boys and
girls club movement as affecting the
rural school is discussed in a recent
report by A. c. Monahan of the United
States bureau of education. Mr. Mona
han points out that the clubs are at
present more closely identified with
the schools than ever before, and that
their work is becoming a more definite
part Of the school program. The ire
mendous influence of these clubs in
aid Of better farming, better living
conditions and better schools, is there
fore eXerted as part of the movement
to make the rural school the real cen
ter OF rural civilization.
After showing how the clubs are
organized through the school authori-
ties, Mr.. Monahan speaks particularly
of the girls garden and canning clubs,
which in an incredibly short time have
assumed an importance second only
to the better known boys corn clubs.
Furthermore, while the government S
activities in behalf of the clubs have
until recently been confined mainly
to the south, they are now extended
to the northern and western states.
Boys and girls agricultural clubs are
now organized under national auspices
in most of the states.
These newer clubs are organized in
much the same way as in the south,
except that they will be in closer con-
nection with the state college of agri-
culture. The work has been planned
directly for the farm and home, rather
than for the school, but in most in
stances it is carried on through the
agency OF the school, and may there
fore be made an integral part Of the
educational work By the school author
tiles.
Besides the boys and girls clubs, a
number of other agencies are at work
! throughout the United States aiding
in the rural school advance. Mr.. Mon
ahan gives an account of these in his
report He describes, among other
| things, the creation of a rural school

testifying before the senate committees

expressed the belief that the govern
ment could manufacture its own armor
plate for from $3.50 to $500 per ton.
When it is considered that between
March 8, 1887 and January Is, 1917,
this government paid out $77,1oS,4S3
for armor pate, this state of affairs
becomes serious. Had the government
manufactured its own armor plate
during the period mentioned there Is
reason to believe that one-third Of this
huge sum, or $25,701, 161, could have
been saved 20 the people.
The armor plate trust has never
played fair with Uncle Sam. When
the Carnegie Steel company was sell
ing armor plate TO our government at
figure of from $500 per ton 10 $500
per ten, it was selling armor plate to
Russia at about s249 per ton, as shown
by the report of the investigating
committee of 1894.

plate factory could be erected for

to establish such a factory. But the
steel trust was too strongly repre-
sented in the senate at that time to
permit favorable action on the subject
On May %. 1913, Senator Ashurst in

AT present We pay the steel trust

ism as to whether the armor plate Il

fects, and that patriotism has never
been above par. The present CONTRACT
system opens the door to graft anc
favoritism. 1t is the acme of folly
to decline to manufacture our owl

strated that the government coult
