BRUSSELS INTREPID BURGOMASTER

Even such awful gloom as that
which envelops Europe has It's iish'
spots. and one of the brightest OF these
is Adolphe Max, the irrepressible Dur
gomaster of Brussels. He had no
chance TO fight for his city, because
it was surrendered to the neriliah'
without defense, but he met the CON
ouerors with undaunted spirit, though
thew locked him up as surety Tor the
war tax OF 5O,0O0.O00 francs. when
was levied on Brussels. NJ. Max paiu
$500, 900 francs of this sum and gave
notes for the remainder up to 2o,ooo''
600 francs, but later he refused TO re-
deem the notes, so he was carried a
prisoner TO the fortress Of Namur.
1t is related Of Burgomaster Max
that when the German commanoer
entered his office to discuss with him
the terms on which Brussels should
Weld and the methods by which the
citizens should be restrained from at

tive of the kaiser bore himself with

WHEAT IN THE COTTON BELT
Beardless Varieties May Well Be
Given Preference In South
Time for Sowing.

In those sections of the cotton belt
where wheat is little grown the re-
suits of tests by the experiment sta
tons seems to indicate that some Of
the best varieties are: Blue Stem, or
purple straw; Red May; Fultz, and
ly to suffer from rust. under unfavor-
able weather conditions the first three
varieties, being beardless, are there
fore, probably more satisfactory for
hay, says Progressive Farmer. The
boards are probably less Objectionable
than generally thought in the South;
but as the beardless varieties are
probably as good in other respects
they may be well given the preference
FOR southern use.
Where the hessian fly Injuries wheat
it is generally necessary to delay SOW
ing until after or about the time OF
the first killing frost. Where the fly
does no damage somewhat earlier SOW
ing Is advisable. Since wheat does
much better on a clay or clay loan
soil than on sandy soil, wheat should
probably be largely confined to the
northern portions of the cotton belt,
where this type of soil predominates.
In these portions OF the cotton belt
the average dates Of killing frost are
from the latter part of October to the
middle of November.
In these sections wheat should be
sown from October Is to November 1
The cooler the weather he poorer
the land and the less damage from the
hessian fly. the earlier the seeding
should be done.

MAHARAJAH JAM IS LOYAL

Not long ago poor student and
tutor at Cambridge, but now one of
the greatest and richest of the princes
of India, the Maharajah Jam Saheb
Of Jamnagar, has demonstrated his
loyalty to the imperial government by
offering for service against Germany
a force of 1000 infantry, two squad
rons of lancers and Is motors. In his
college days the Maharajah Jam was
known as Ranji, and under that name
became a world famous cricketer.
Just after his graduation at Cam
bridge the late maharajah Of Jamna-
gar disowned him as his heir and dis
continued the large allowance the
young man had been receiving. With
out rank or money, he was compelled
to earn his living, which he did after
a fashion by writing on sports and

ROBERT LAWRENCE TO
 SING FOR CHARITY
Presents .sThe Pirates of Penzance" January 28 for Woman's Auxiliary
 of Associated Charities

When Mir Robert Lawrence appears here in February. for Sunday afternoon concert, in one of the local theatres, Bir- ningham will be given a rare musical treat
 MT. Lawrence. 1t is stated, has no su- perior in America as baritone singer. His rich voice is as clear as bell, and it's dramatic quality is unsurpassed. In ono of his recent recitals he sang Danny Deever' with, so much dramatic feeling that If possible he surpassed David Bis pham's rendering of the same number. The best part of all is that MT. Lawrence will sing for charity, and the entire sum derived from the sale of seats is to be given to charity of the city, and some of the homes that have felt the pinch of want shall have the assistance they need
 It Is rather coincidence that the South ern School of Musical Art should have as its president MT. H. K. Milner, who Is keenly interested in charitable activities, and MT. Robert Lawrence, who is con stantly working for charity. director of its vocal department.
 On January 2S MT. Lawrence will pre- sent, for the wonans g auxiliary of the As- sociated Charities, Gilbert & Sullivan's s comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance ' with cast of over 70 people, rehearsals for which have been carried on for the last two months.
 E Mr. Lawrence belongs, to the first rank of vocal artists. He has an abundance of musical temperament, and is a thorough musician, as well as singer. His versa tility is readily realized by all discrimi- hating listeners. ills previous appear anees here have been under auspices that did not make 1t possible for the general public to hear him, as his recital was an
 invitation affair. and his last appearance
 being at regular meeting of the Music
 Study club, where he sang a varied programme.
 In a recent interview MT. Lawrence spoke very enthusiastically of the cond- tons here unsteady, and of the progress 'eing made by the Southern School of Musical Art. His real hobby seems to be Birmingham, the musical center of the outh, and it is almost impossible to talk
 with MT. Lawrence upon the subject with nut becoming enthusa stic
