Dear Miss Grey: read
the remarks of "E. B." re-
garding Miss Greeley-Smith's
article as to what a single
woman knows about home
keeping, collaborating, etc.
! am unmarried also, but
would like to tell little of
my experience.
am "a, a registered
nurse, but also the Oldest
and only girl in a family of
eleven boys. We always had
a baby in our home, and I
cannot recall ever having had
any outside help except when
l was too small to help.
When l was IL fears of
age l washed, dressed and
cared for a child fully, and
from that time on l was
taken out of school whenever
occasion demanded. never
had an entire evening to my
self, a Saturday or a Sunday.
At the age of 16 l had st.
Vitus dance. Do you won
der?
After | recovered I knew
Il was time to dig for myself,
and I've been digging ever
since. ] have perfect health,
an excellent profession, so
have no kick coming now.
But though unmarried, /
know all the ins and outs of
housekeeping, child-rearing,
etc, and l fully agree with
Miss Greeley-Smith that in
comparison with home-keep-
ing and child-rearing any
mans job is a cinch.
If you wilt pardon the
length of my letter, ! would
also like to say a word about
raising children. Raise them
bird fashion. Teach them
all you know, also that there
is a God, to be honest and de-
cent; give them wings, then
make them fly. All! the whole
secret is development. Have
any of our real men and
women been infants past the
infant stage?. Hope | have
not bored you.

The Largest Crop

This years cotton crop turns out 10 be larger than the most liberal esti- mates indicated. Since the ginning be- gan it had been referred to as almost up to the 1911 crop, but according to the government report it is the great est crop of all.
 This years production is officially stated at 15,966,O0O bales of lint cot ton and the Inter cotton is unofficially estimated from 100000 to 65O,0OO bales. Alabama used to rank as the fourth cotton state, but for several years past it has been the third. Tex as, of course, ranks first. Last year it produced 3,944,97O bales; this year, 4,560,000. Georgia comes second 2,316,601 in 1913, and 2,650,000 this year. Alabama produced 1,495, ,485 in 1913, and 1,690,OO0 this year.
 The government shows that while this years production was the great est it's value will be considerably less than in any other year during the past 1 five. Based on an average price of 6.8 cents on December 1, the lint is worth $519, ,6S4 as compared with $ss7,- 100000 last year. Last years cotton seed in addition to lint had cash value of about $156,600, ,000, making a total value of cotton production that year of over $1,OOO, 100000.
 It will take very little urging for 1 the farmers to plant only half crop next year. A common sense point of view will certainly prevent anything like an an acreage such as we had this year, when the crop was too large for even normal conditions. Probably not more than 7,5OO,OO0 will be raised in 1915; but if there should be only 6,000,000 bales, so much the better.

Church Unity and the Peace Movement

Church Unity and the Peace Movement
 The meeting of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in Ameri- ca" being held at Richmond this week is attended by number of prominent laymen as well as clergymen. Will liam Jennings Bryan participated in Wednesdays sessions and made an ad- dress on Church Unity and the Peace Movement"
 In referring to President Wilson's request that all citizens refrain from utterances that might seem to violate the spirit of American neutrality, MT. Bryan intimated that he himself was studiously guarded in referring to the European war; but he discussed in a broad way the question of this coun- try's preparedness for war. Many patriotic Americans there are who think the United States should have not only a great navy, but a great army as well; but MT. Bryan was entirely correct when he said that a big army will not prevent war. Yet putting aside the agitation by advo- cates of large increase in the army and of naval policy like that of Eng land, conservative Americans must take the middle ground and favor a high degree of preparedness in our coast defenses and an army sufficient ly large to form disciplined nucleus for a mighty fighting force in case of war.
 The church unity movement was making decided progress when the European war started. The committees appointed to arrange for a great in- ternational meeting in New York in 1916 will have to hold their plans in abeyance. Should the war be over be- fore 1916 the projected meeting could be held, but it will probably be thought advisable to wait five or six years until the bitterness between Eu- ropean nations now engaged in war shall have time to die out.
 In the meantime the federal council will maintain an active organization looking to church unity when the time shall be propitious.

"A German Concentration Camp

About three thousand English civil ians are interned in a concentration camp at Ruhleben, several miles west of Berlin, and are trying to make themselves as comfortable as the cir cumstances will permit. In the number are not a few Germans who took out naturalization papers while residing in England and now regret their change of citizenship.
 Apart from the monotony of their daily life and little crowding, which is said to have been remedied by their German captors, these prisoners don't appear to be suffering any real hard ships. They are housed in the immi- grafton station at Ruhleben. The American embassy is looking after their interests. They are served good food, prepared in a kitchen that is "a model of cleanliness" and there is also a restaurant where they can order meals.
 To relieve the dullness of imprison- ment singing clubs have been formed and other "indoor amusements" are encouraged. Most of the prisoners are business men and naturally they fret because they are not allowed to look after their affairs, but they and all prisoners of war whose situation has been described in the press dispatches, seem to fare unusually well. The treat ment of prisoners by the belligerents is the most encouraging evidence yet given of more humane methods in warfare.
 As long as a soldier is on the firing line there is nothing too bad for him, in the eyes of the enemy; but once cap tured, he is treated kindly. In fact, his troubles for the most part are ended.

Brisk Trade in Shopping District

With the advance of the holiday season retail trade in most sections of the country has been brisk. The present week has been busy week in Birmingham. In the shopping dis trict there has been very large vol tune of business, but the coming week the week before Christmas-will be marked by the greatest rush of the month.
 Christmas club" money is begin ming to find it's way into circulation. There was a large distribution of Christmas club savings several days ago, and there will be another large distribution on Monday next. Many Christmas bonuses will add to the large volume of money in circulation, and most of the merchants will doubt less be able to report fine sales.

Too Many Arrests Made

Judge w. E. Fort of the criminal court is to be commended for requir- ing a deputy sheriff to pay the costs in twelve cases in which it was shown that the deputy had preferred charges which he could not sustain. Twelve negroes were arrested on the charge of gambling in a public place. It de- veloped in the trial that they were taken from a dwelling house. With two exceptions all proved that they were employed at Ensley and were at least not professional gamesters.
 While it may be true, as the deputy claims, that he made technical error in preferring the charge of gambling in a public place instead of Sunday gaming, Judge Forts declaration that he will not tolerate indiscriminate ar rests is most timely. Too many ar- rests are made in Jefferson county for trivial causes. The number is less than it used to be, but it should be still further reduced.

GREAT HUMORISTS ARE GREAT
 PREACHERS

From the Chicago Herald.
 Bob Burdette, dead at Pasadena, Cal. was not only a humorist but also a preacher. The conjunction of those two occupations seems a little strange at first But when you come to think of it there never was a great humorist who was not also a great preacher. :.
 The great humorist preached other things than formal theology. But they preached none the less. Take Mark Twain, our greatest American humorist. He preached democracy. He thundered against mediaevalism as the church fath- CTS thundered against heresies. There never was a greater hater of wrong. a more inveterate scorner of pretense, a greater correcter of human foibles He who has only found humor in Mark Twain has not found Mark Twain's humor
 The humoF of Dickens always has something sermonesque about it. The satire and humor of Thackeray are like lash laid on human error. The humor of Moliere is the weapon of one of the greatest nonsectarian preachers that ever lived-a preacher denouncing avarice and the other primary vices that spoil society, rot the soul and make man unhappy.
 And Cervantes, the great Spaniard whose epic humor has made the lean fig- ure of half-crazed knight of synonym Tor laughter and tears throughout the world, the genius who gave the world in Sancho Panza comic figure so intensely human that 1t deserves to rank with Shakespeares immortal creation of Sir John Falstaff, he, too, had a sermon to preach against silly romanticism and the foolish tales of chivalrous adventures. Go through the list. The humorist who wrote with the mere idea of affording diversian and with no thought of deeper | message is the one whose work soon grows obsolete. The great artists feel the obligation of their genius They hold great instrument in their hands, they use 1t for noble ends and their work lives after them

-------ses----- OLD FAMILIAR FACES
l the Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 A recent reference to the lost art of chimney cleaning recalls to a reader the smudgy operator of earlier days He re- members that he found the chimney sweep with his poles and brushes and his at tempts at song; familiar and somewhat mysterious being. He linked him in his childish mind with ogres and gnomes and wondered how he ever made himself white again-presuming that he sometimes tried. In those days the chimney sweep was a once-in-the-year visitor and people who neglected their chimneys might count upon having them catch fire-to the in finite delight of the neghborhood small boys, and the peril of the courageous head of the household who climbed to a point of vantage and emptied salt bag down the blazing fiue. When coal and gas be- came fuel the sweep lost his calling. For | a time there was a sweeps slate on a box on the south side of the square where orders could be left. The slate is missing. The sweep seems to have joined the an- cient wei cleaner, whose visits were a source of exciting interest for the boy of 40 years ago.
 With the two, the sweep and the cleaner, came the wood sawyer, who limped around to the back door in the early fall
 He was a lame man and always wore a
 leather bandage about his knee. He sawed the four-foot hickory into stove lengths.
 Progress, the memorable, has pushed the trio into the ditch.

DOGS FUNERAL COSTS $500

From the Youngstown Telegram.
 Wee Ebony Prince, a prize-winning Fomeranian dog, owned by a. St. Louis woman, is dead. So much so good, but the dispatch goes on to say that 1t was given a $500 funeral, being laid to rest in a white brocaded casket with pillow of roses and a blanket of narcissus.
 "He was the darlingest dog in the world,' declared the woman who owned him.
 It is really pity that her grief was not assuaged to a point where she might see that by cutting down the expenses of her doggies funeral she could havo made life happier for many other little dogs. Little half starved dogs which have not had the comforts of life nor any of the advantages of Wee Ebony Prince. She might have thought of the wistful looks in the eyes of unfortunate dogs bad she not been so blinded by the tears that welled up but which did not pre- vent bIrying the purp with circus honors, which mocked the real serious things of life.
 It was a strange thing to do on the eve of the holiday season when $500 ju- diciously expended might have frightened the hearts of so many other little dogs. Of course, under the circumstances 1t would do no good to suggest doing any thing of the kind for little children.
