WOULD ABOLISH USELESS Jops

From the Scottsboro Progressive Age.
 GOvernor-to-be Henderson announces that he is in favor of abolishing all "use- less jobs." and that he will oppose all ap- rropriations which the state will be un- able to pay. If the governor will just stick to that resolution we pledge him we'll not make application for . single job during his administration.

Birmingham Has Finest Hotel

This city has not only palatial hotel in the Tutwiler, which will be opened Monday, but it has without question the most perfectly appointed hotel in the United States" said travelled man.
 "A few years ago we were 'agitating' for a $l,000,000 hotel. We would have been doing well then ohave raised that much money, but later on conditions were just ripe for the Tutwiler. The building alone has cost nearly s1,750,000, and tho furniture has cost. I am told, nearly $250,- 900. Add the value of the site, the cost of the building and the money expended on furniture, and the total investment repre- sents about $2,250,000
 When ground was broken Tutwiler post cards were printed and circulated extensively the reading matter on the cards setting forth that it was a $1,000- 600 project New cards should be pre- pared and put in circulation giving the latest figures. A s1,000.OOO hotel would sound good for any city. but a g, ,225 0O0 hotel sounds better"

PROGRESS IN RURAL DISTRICTS

From the Opelika News
 The person who has not travelled in the rural districts of this section of the state during the last past five years has no reasonable conception of the wonderful progress that has been made during that time by the farmers. Those who have not seen the farms lying along the dirt roads in the last five years it looks like an entirely different country.

DRAGONS AND NICOTINE

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Deacons and elders. many of them, have weakness for tobacco-we have caught them in the act, frequently! They are church leaders. Their example is watched, and often emulated. If their pastor can't chew or smoke why should they be permitted to blow smoke in the face of the helpless preacher when they hold meeting to decide on the install lation of new pews? Why should preachers be compelled to endure this temptation without yielding?
 By forbidding preachers to chew or smoke, we fear the edict may ultimately have the effect of causing them to in dulge the habit clandestinely at home. In that case they would drop ashes on the floor and leave cigar stubs and old pipes on the mantel. resulting, inevi- tably in keeping the preachers wives busy cleaning up, and making them fuss. Goodness knows the women fuss enough as 1t is.
 Again, editors are usually churchmen and rank as teachers. Why shouldn't they be required to quit using tobacco especially those who advocate, openly and flagrantly, the suppression of this vice among preachers?

The Habits of Game Fish

"The study of the habits of game fish is very interesting" said an ardent fol- lower of Nimrod, "and I delight in it when an opportunity presents itself.
 "A few days ago had the pleasure for a half hour of watching school of year. ling trout, accompanied by a good size Dream. You know, often goat is the ac- ceptable companion of a small herd of cattle. Well. just so is Dream often found with trout. In this instance here cited. the bream seemed obe a sort of companion, pilot, and scout The sound of my voice did not affect them. but a slight motion of the hand made them retreat very deliberately, and in battle- ship order. After a few moments the Dream returned to look over the situation. then retreated. and presently they all returned, swimming leisurely Into the open space in the moss near the bank. l noticed that one of the trout passed across the back of the bream, touching it, but there was no motion to show the Dream cared.
 And fish play like children, some- times. They will romp around a piece of timber in the water like in regular all-  hands-round game. A bream will some- times break into the circle, and then away they rush, but back again in a moment. chasing around and around the timber.
 "One thing many persons who fish do not know: When you see a trout. he sees you; and often the trout or Dream sees the fisherman when the Nimrod doesn t see the fish. When you see game fish, just pass on, and try to slip up to the next favorable spot. for if the fish see you it may be accepted as a sure thing that you'll not get a strike there. In clear waters, if there is no cover to hide your approach, then lie down on your stomach and crawl up and make a cast. Of course. there are instances where the sportsman sees a fish in pool at some distance when the fish doesn't see him. Then all things being well, it may be caught with a. lucky cast.''

THE FEAR OF
THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES

The neutral maritime States have
been advised by Great Britain to al
ways have their merchant vessels
touch at one OF the English ports OF
Falmouth, Lough swiftly or Kirk
wall. They say that ii the British
would search the ships
in port this would certainly be much
more agreeable than having these
bothersome searches effected by Brit
ish cruisers on the high seas.
AT the first glance Great Britain
appears to show extreme considera-
ton toward the neutral maritime
powers. Il fact which those powers so
for have not had much occasion 10
notice. To be sure, we never put
much faith in the sincerity OF this
motive, and are therefore much
pleased to find Il witness in the Lon
don Times which 1t is safe to say is
unbiased even from an English point
of view. The Times recently wrote
concerning of the Hawke: 1T is bet
ter to effect the search of neutral
merchantmen in port than on the
high seas, because the search on the
higs seas, in view OF the activity of
the German submarines, was cN-
IRENE lydangerous."
There we have the real reason for
this consideration toward the nell

JIM FLYNN WAS
!, NEAR XMAS BABY

PuebIus Dec. 24.as.Iim Flynn. pu-
cblo's fighting fireman, came near be-
ing n Christmas present. as he was
corn on December "a. Jim says lie
will be 3: years old today, and for
the past 2 years he has been pro-
fessional fighter. He mas come nearer
being the biggest man in the fight
game. not to ever win champion
ship. than any man who ever put on
boxing gloves. When Flynn quits
sthe fight game his type OF fighters
will have passed from the ring. for
there is only one of the type and
that one is Jim Flynn. -s.
| A lot of expert critics claim Flynn
never was a fighter and lie has had
as little boosting from the critics and
sporting editors US any fighter in the
game. But on the other hand he
stands well with the fans. In any
city in the United States Flynn is
good drawing card. He is sure to
get roast from some sporting edi-
tor and certain to I'LL the arena where
he boxes, no matter who his oppo:
nent may be. A famous sport writer
once said Of Flynn that although the
fireman could not fight he loved to
see him try. ...
Flynn's case is one instance where
the experts are wrong when they crit
icise Ills methods He is the most
dangerous man that ever stepped into
a ring. He lights like Il merciiess and
persistent wolf. The only way to
whip him is to give him the count.
Punishment only makes him fight
harder and with more cunning, and
nc hangs on with bulldog grit. Flynn
never admitted deieat in his life, and
no lighter ever instilled fear into his
heart. ..r
His indomitable courage has made
Iim the most famous comeback OF
the game. Langford heat him like
he was u child and he came back and
gave Langford the worst drubbing
the Boston Tar Baby ever got inside
the ropes. Papke mauled Flynn good
and Flynn came back and gave Papke
the only beating Papke ever received
in his prime from man his own
weight and size.
Jack johnson put Flynn to sleep
with little trouble and then Flynn
came back and fought the champion
samely at Las Vegas in n battle that
is still the cause of arguments in
sport circles everywhere. "He is
the toughest nut to crack there Is
in the game. Jack Johnson said
after the Las Vegas battle. IF he
cant whip YOU one way he will an
other I believe he would kill am

Understood, short-armed, with the

which he has added something. if 1t
