 GREAT DAYS"
 By Frank Harris Mitchell Kennerey,
 Publisher, New York
 Frank Harris. the clever author of "The Bomb, Montes the Matador" sUn- pathd Waters and Great Days" is a name destined to be engraved on the tab lets of literature as that of one who is among the first 10 of the worlds great tellers of tales. The books here named are in themselves sufficient evidence of this mans distinguished power. The man with the genius to write them is of the elect; for 1t is creative genius of the first order. Frank Harris must not be left to posterity to honor: we owe it to our proper pride, so that we may not be rid- culed by those who come after us, to well come and acclaim this unusually gifted writer.
 We are all gifted with some powers. but not all of us are gifted in like de- gree. A few are very highly gifted Frank Harris Is of that few. His gifts have rothing to do with his personality, for his personality is public concern and may be good or bad. His gifts are his virtue-his real self.
 There is nothing of the problem novel about this newest book, Great Days '' by Frank Davis. It is just red-blooded, gripping yarn. And when it comes to holding your interest in the tale he tells it is doubtful if any living writer has MT. Harris mastery. Great Days is set in the time of Napoleon-there are snug glers and privaters and fighting and (by no means leasD love. Bonaparte is etched strilSingly and vividly. and so is Charles Fox. Alphabetically a book for the spring and summer months.
 'VANDOVER AND THE BRUTE" By Frank Norris. Doubleday, Page &
 Co, publishers, Garden City, N. Y.
 The manuscript of ''Vandover and the Brute. the very remarkable story by Frank Norris, went through the San Francisco earthquake and fire and Is here in book form in it's first draught as it left the authors hand. It will be very interesting for the reader to bear this fact in mind for manuscripts are generally subjected to many revisions.
 No short note that can fittingly find place on this jacket will convey any sense of the tremendous power of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-08-16


 book. It is a picture of the war that every man wages in his soul with va rying success. How Vandover met the brute in him in many conflicts is theme which Frank Norris handles so vividly that few readers will shake off the spell for a long time after the book is laid aside.
 Frank Norris, as depicted in a little essay by Charles Norris, has quite a flavor of another great writer well known in San Francisco-Robert Louis Stevenson, who died just about the time Frank Norris stories first began to be accepted by the magazines. Although the two men were so totally different in style and ways of thinking, yet in both there seems to have been the un- fettered whimsical humor of the true adventurer. A love for tin soldiers and for drawing maps is also a mark of kinship. Charles Norris writes:
 My earliest recollections are of the and chfvalry that he wove about my lead soldiers to my never-failing en- chantment and delight. There were several thousands of these soldiers, and each captain and lieutenant was named and had history of his own. In these stories there was an utter disre- gard of historical accuracy and se- IuCuCc. nus tue tt{ltu DIOpnet or Khorassan, the Cid and Khedive Ma chiavelli and Corbullo the Saxon all lived and had their being together in this miniature world of lead"
 At the First Congregation church of San Francisco the well known minister the Rev. c. F. Aked. preached a sermon recently on 'vandover, and the Brute" The text which Dr. Aked chose as ex- pressing the message of the book, was "The wages of sin is death."
 In an article in the San Francisco Examiner Dr. Aked begs the warehouse official who recognized the authorship of the book, to reveal himself. The acumen of this man." says Dr. Aked, "gave the world very valuable book"

BIG VICTORY FOR HOME BOYS
Continued from first page.

With the ball on WINDOWS twenty
yard line as the fourth quarter opened
Redwood smashed straight through
until Lamberton squeezed over for the
sixth and last touchdown. Stensvad
kicked goal and the score stood 80
to O.
Last Quarter
Again after Window had received
one of their passes was intercepted
by Stevens. Forty yards down the
field Redwood carried the ball on old
fashioned smashes and over the goal,
losing the point on a tumble behind
the line. Welch replaced Luscher,
Reynolds returning to quarter and
Hill going back to left end. WINDOWS
scrimmage from the 20 yard line
brought them repeated gains, all which
they lost when another pass fell IL
to Stevens possession. Redwood at
tempted a pass te Mason, who caught
it at the line at the same time with
a Window player. The officials award
ed the play to. Window as a tocch
back, and the enemy again started up
the field Time was called WITH the
hall in Windorls possession.
Redwood Plays Best
At no time during the game was
Redwood's goal seriously threatened.
Window rooters and team bulged with
disappointing hope at one occasion
when one of their players forgot the
rules, picked up an incompleted pass
and made sixty yard dash for the
goal, only to have the ball returned.
Window made good but one or two
passes and broke up only few of
Redwood's. Their playing was ragged
enc lacked the team work so char
acteristic of Redwood's efforts. The
game was in 10 sense a walkaway for
Redwood, but represented in the fin
al score only the hardest style of
play. So fierce was the onslaught in
the earlier part of the game that
Redwood was obliged to slow up per-
ceptibly during the last few minutes
of the game
The work Of the officials, Supt. Pee
holdt, of Sanborn, and Mr.. Donnon,
agriculturist Of Mountain Lake, was
splendid, and because of absolute fair
ness added much to the interest of
the game.
Negotiations are under way to Sc
cure either Rochester or team from
the twin cities for Thanksgiving game.
Next Saturday the team goes to Rem
vile. So far Redwood has tied one
game, and won five consecutive shut
outs, with a total score of 241, as
against 6 for opponents.

The passing away on Saturday night,
Dec. s, Of John Mccormick, at his
place Of residence at Wosed Park re-
moves from u midst one of our prom
inent and highly esteemed citizens.
Mr.. Mccormick was born in New Or
leans, Aug. S, 1913; and was a resident
Of this parish for many years. He
served with distinction throughout the
civil war, under the late Governor
Francis T. Nichols.
Always possessing, in a marked de-
gree, the traits Of chivalry character
istic of the soldiers Of the Lost Cause,
he was widely known and liked-a land
mark linking the present generation
with the ~troublous times of the early
Sixties. His demise strikes a sense of
loss to the hearts of his numerous
friends and acquaintance. He married
in 1852, Mary E. Conrad, widow of H.
McCurdy. The death of his wife oc-
Cured seven years since.
MI. Mccormick was connected for a
long time with the Myrtle Grove Co.,
but, during the latter years Of his life,
went into business for himself. He is
survived by n son, Walter Louis, and
three step-children, Edward, Howard
and Ollie McCurdy. The Gazette ex-
tends its heartfelt sympathy to his be-
reaved ones.

Uncle Sans Advice About Pigs.

The National Department of Agri
culture has issued a bulletin in which
its experts tell how the Southern farm
ers may get a start in pig raising. Il
is of great value to the section, al.
though it does not apply to Louisiana
! as much as to other commemorative.
The government could have learned
more about the particular advantages
of this state from its own resident
agents, who have seen and know. The
bulletin says that hogs may be raised
in Dixie at three and a half cents a
pound. Louisiana a produce pork for
less. 1t recommends the black and red
hogs, as white pigs sunburn badly. The
Louisiana sun is genial, despite the in
situations of ignorance, and in North
and South Louisiana both there are
large and thriving herds of hogs of the
lighter hue. 1t says that the forage
crops are not available the year round.
Evidently the Washington scientists
have not spent much time in Louisiana
or they would have shared the en-
thusiasm and conviction Of their col
leagues at work on the cattle demon
stration farm at Hope after their first
acquaintanceship with the wonders of
crop rotation in this blessed land.
In general, however, the document
serves an excellent purpose, and con-
tains much valuable advice for the far
mer to follow. 1t recites that there
are four things necessary for a start in
the business, & place to raise and fat
ten the pigs, a pig worth raising and
~fattening, feed on which to raise and
fatten them and the necessary funds.
The article is intended for the mar
whose principal concern is to supply
food for his family. For him n or
two sows will suffice. Good grade sows
fetch $40 or SIS each, razor backs less.
Pigs properly fed should weigh 200
pounds at nine months. The bulletin
advises against feeding cottonseed
meal to hogs, and some successful
Louisiana farmers may have something
to say about this, too. A poor pig is
not worth raising or feeding. Stick to
one breed and in a little while you will
have pigs very much alike, a model for
others, and an advertisement for your
community. If you a afford it, start
with good grade sows. If not, natives
will do. Expensive houses arc not
necessary in the South. Give the SOW
a dry place to farrow, a pen we'll bed
ded and sheltered from cold winds and
storms, and both she and the pigs will
do well. Little pigs that get wet or
chilled O after birth often die or
grow into runts. Pigs should have
shade in the pasture, either trees or
artificial shelter, and plenty of water.
