ADRIFT WITH THE TIr1ES
A QUICK RECOVERY

A QUICK RECOVERY With eggnog here
 And eggnog there, Jagsby was soon
 Quite free from care. And all lit up
 He went to bed, But, oh. this morn
 His head. His head, The world seems clear, Though bright the sun; With triple oatns
 He vows he's done With alcohol
 And ne'er again Will he invite
 So fierce a pain. Alas. ere long
 He'll better grow, His face will lose
 It's look of woe And when someone
 Says, What for youoo'' He'll chirp, "I'll take A highball, tool"

WAR ECHOES

Savannah News: Czar Nicholas has said he would fight to his last mujik before he would acknowledge defeat Premier Viviani of France said his country would fight without mercy un- til such a time as i've can accomplish the definite liberation of Europe" English statesmen have repeatedly said that Great Britain would never give up. Which indicates that the sllies have made up their minds to fight it out and that they are not going to be first to ask for peace terms unless they are beaten to their knees.
 London Graphic: Convalescent bones have been established in the south of France so that those recovering from wounds may escape the rigors Of the northern section of France and can bask in the rays of the sun of the Midi Every part of France is cheerfully doing its share to alleviate the suf- fering of the wounded Another yalu- able auxiliary of the Red Cross serv- ice is water transport.
 As water transport for wounded men is practically the ideal form of .rav- cling, hundreds of canal barges have been fitted up for ambulance work These have been thoroughly cieonsed and disinfected, painted with enamel paint and fitted up as floating hospit- als. They contain, on an average, 30 beds, and have a well fitted pharmacy and operating theatre, so that serious cases can receive immediate attention The credit of first utilizing canal barges for the transport of wounded belongs to the Bishop of Meaux. and as it was the British who bore the brunt of the fighting in his diocese, Tommy Atkins owes him a debt of gratitude.
 Providence Journal: Word comes that "Tipperary" has a new rival in the trenches and that Tommy Atkins is eagerly learning to sing, "We Don't Want to Lose You, But We Think You Ought to Co.," Probably vocalization is an ameliorating influence in the harsh routine of the men at the front, but if these popular war songs con- tinue to multiply it will tend to a fearful complication of the law of Jorephus In regard to violations of neu- trality.

 Linden Democrat Reporter: Alaba ana has S52 salaried officers who draw $So1,0s5.99 annually from the state treasury. Some of these offices are absolutely necessary, but a great many are needless pensioners upon the state s bounty. The legislature will very prob ably pay it's respect to this matter when it convenes at Montgomery next month.

 Henry said Mrs. Twobble, after little Tommy Twobble had gone to bed, you were positively eloquent in describing the visit of Santa Claus to our son. When you pictured the kindly old saint leaving his home in the frozen north with his team of reindeer and his sleigh piled high with gifts and speeding over the world faster than the wind I was almost convinced myself that you were telling the truth"
 "Thanks, my dear" said MT. Twob- ble, complacently refilling his pipe. I'm not bad at that sort of thing

 Now the legislature is soon to meet and it is the duty of President Ward to ask for and insist upon legislation which will put Birmingham on a basis of practical operation. Of course, he will have ob- stacles thrown in his way by people who would avoid taxation. He will hear that this committee or that committee is packed for certain interests. He will hear varied and variegated tales with all the colors of the rainbow tinted about them. To these he must listen and forget.
 But he must pick from all the sugges- tions and his own ideas a concrete plan and recommend it and put it through. It is finally up to him as the man and the paid manager to do the real work of solv- ing and saving Birmingham financially from the brink 1t is approaching

Waterwcrks company has the legal power to do so at present and he proposes to fight them to a finish in the courts.
 In the meantime the mixup is causing the small consumers of water to pay 50 per cent more than they were paying a year ago.
 Lynn says he wants to effect a practi- cal and business agreement and reduce the rates.
 Now why fight to finish and smash things ID if the same results to the peo- pie can be obtained hysa business agree ment?
 What the people want is lower water rates. When they get them they would willingly and gladly so down to the fair grounds and witness bout between Lynn and weatherly in the fstic arena with proper gloves. It might be ten round affair or even finish proposition And, by the way, physically they both weigh in the featherweight class, match up well, and would produce a bout worth the seeing.
 But before the public accords them the pleasure of pummeling each other, let us insist upon the business of a cheaper water rate agreement.
