uncle sam Got His Cent

Luther II. Clifton, for seventeen years
postmaster at Blades, Del, recently re-
ceived word from the postoffice depart
ment in Washington that he would be
prosecuted IL he did not pay a shortage OF
one cent. He settled and escaped trouble.
The affair was peculiar. Clifton was
succeeded as postmaster last November BY
Caleb X. Cannon. The accounts were
gone over by an expert when the transfer
was made, but 1t was impossible to learn
the amount OF cancellations, this being
the basis upon which the postmaster's
salary Is fixed.
The report OF the expert finally vas that
the government owed the retiring official
one cent. However, the department sent
word that the debit was the other way
about, and threatened prosecution for
non-payment. Clifton paid the money to
his successor and got receipt.

An Opportunity for
Household Economy

The great advance in price Of cream of tartar
which is derived from grapes-due to inability to
care for and market the grape crop in the European
countries now at war; can be made advantageous to
the housewives of New England.
Housekeepers will find it economical
and much more satisfactory to use Royal Baking
Powder, which is made from highly refined, pure
cream Of tartar. First, because the price Of Royal
has not been changed and it will do perfect work;
second because food made with Royal Baking
Powder will be finer and more palatable; and
finally, because it nsures the absence Of all danger
from alum or similar unwholesome products.
The old-fashioned custom of buying cream Of
tartar and mixing it with soda, using sour milk.
may be discarded with profit. The high cost and
scarcity of cream of tartar furnishes temptation
to INSCRIPTIONS dealers to substitute aduterated
product, which may be either lime phosphates or
alum. that will change the baking strength and
may spoil the food

MANY WANT COLONY OF DUTCH FARMERS
Many Offers Made to Re
 ceive Them-Italians Come Later

number of offers have been received at the headquarters Of the Alabama de- partment of the Southern Settlement and Development organization to care for and successfully locate the colony Of Dutch earmers which that organization is pre- pairing to bring to Alabama. These are not German immigrants, but are from Holland. where arrangements have been made to start this colonization work, Upon the success Of this first colony much de- bends. and every care is being taken to secure such a location and surroundings for these as will give the best of re- suits.
 The north Of Italy colony will come a been arranged to go to Maryland, but there is the same desire 10 place these fav- orably, and if Alabama can secure satis- fled members in these nationalities there will be no difficulty in obtaining others from all desired nations
 The work of this organization is de- signed to cover every field of develop ment. and not only will lands in this state be placed before prospective buyers in the north and west but direct aid in other lines will be rendered. As illus trating this service a manufacturer of syrup from the sugar cane raised in Ala bama sought through this organization to enlarge his sphere of selling his product and the owner of a large chain of restau- rants in one of the principal cities of the north had his attention directed to this Alabama product by one of the agents of the Southern Settlement and Development organization, with the result that the restaurant man was so pleased with it that an offer was made to take the en- tire product.
 It is not generally known that some of the best syrup made in the United States is produced here in Alabama. This list of those inquiring about Alabama lands is said to be growing nicely, and the num- Der of these showing interest in reply to descriptions furnished from the Alabama office is constantly increasing.
