N1ISTUR EDDIrUR: We had day

 the minds of the Americon peepul and re
 called the valorius deeds and corrage of our ansesturs, who back in our early his tery desided to throw off the yoke of King George and start up bizness for themselves. One of the big trubbles between King George and our ansesturs cum up ovver the question of drinking. The Americon pee pull have always been rathur fussy about what they drink, and when King George who wasn t bad sort, but who really need ed the mummy, don't ye know-desided to put verTy heavy war tax on tea, the tea drinkers of this country rose as one man and let out yelp that startled the griz- zlles way over in the Rocky mountains, and sent tremmor down the vertebra of the British empire. Our ansesturs confurred amung themselves and the moor they con furred the moor heeted they becum; so they conveyed the intelligence to King George in rathur crude dipplomattick Ian guage that they had stood for a lot of munkey bizness flum him, but when he got fresh with theere drinks, it was the 'bow off" They sed they hated to seperate themselves rum the parrint stem, but, "by heck,' no parrint stem could dicktate to them with impunnitv, or enny uther for rainer They wound mp theere communi- casion to George with regards to Mrs

Most expect West Prussia where there are Poles, and M. Menschi- koff. the 'Novoye Vremya" expert ex- pects Berlin. The question of the orzani- zation Of these territories, of the Russian states relation to local administra tions, to customs, religions. languages are much alive. Fierce disputes are raging about the details, though no dispute is admitted about the main question-that Russia will get the goods.
 Disputes go on about the little Russians and the Poles. The little Russians are the Ruthenians or Urkrainians. In Russia there are 20000,00O little Russians; they speak language as like great Russian as Dutch is to German. In Austria, that is. in Eastern Galicia, there are S,OOOO

 Notably good work along the lines of school extension, country life &C., tivities and rural clubs for young peo- pie Is being done in Calhoun county, of which Anniston is the county seat.
 This work is in charge of Mrs. 1lah Williams Polhill, who came to Alabama from Macon, Ga, in the early spring. Mrs. Polhill is extending the work con- siderably, adding other activities to those already begun. Calhoun county has promoted this work since tomato clubs were first organized in the state, and it now promises to lead.
 The principal work of the girls, 50 far, has been raising and canning to- matoes Last year the proceeds from their tomatoes ran we'll into four fig- ures. That the work should be along broader lines and that since there has been such a good beginning it could be extended, have been Mrs. Polhill's beliefs since February. She has kept this idea before the girls that they might start in time. Besides this she has interested other girls who had seen the progress that was made last year and who were eager to begin club work this season.
 Home Economies
 Home economies is a feature which Mrs. Polhill is adding this year. It Is a fascinating work and one that off, fers more unusual opportunities for helping farmers wives and daughters than does any other field of endeavor along the line of community develop nlent.
 In the hands of extension super vsors of competence and understand ing it loses any suggestion of profes- s.cnal welfare work and becomes rath- CT a true extension of the school. Since the rural elementary schools have found that such work is a good and practical part of their course why should 1t not be extended to reach the homes? This is the attitude of the most successful supervisors of these activ- ities. They conduct their work on the same principles and from the same standpoint they would use in teaching a child. arithmetic or spelling. As the child in the schoolroom has not had an earlier opportunity to learn what is taught there, so the farmers wife living in an isolated district has not had an earlier opportunity to learn what is taught in these extension courses.
 As the skillful and sympathetic school teacher makes the classroom experience a happy one for the child, SC the skillful and sympathetic extension teacher makes the home course Q de- lightful and profitable one for the housekeeper. This is the attitude oi those who are conducting this work , successfully.
 In Calhoun county Mrs. Polhill includei in the home couxse improved methods O. cooking, of general housework and san itation. These she believes to be tn, essentials of the mechanics of home-malS ing. She believes, too. that they are i'm portant contributing features toward tn, ethics of home-making and that the, could not be neglected in any well planned extension course.
 That she is already showing results |

 works in the north. He says that when
 the Germans are beaten, "and that is
 not far off" everything will be cheap.
 Before the war food was overproduced i'll Russia and was cheap. Manufactured goods, being underproduced, and im- ported against high tariffs, were dear. Most of the small imported things were German, and much of the agricultural machinery was American. The exvaiet has arranged a remedy. Russia will take the whole of the upper Silesia iron and coal mines; and the smelting fur naces and rolling shops; she may take all of Silesia, and the manufacturing part of Saxony. In this way Russia will get d great manufacturing center; and henceforth things will be cheap. The peasants, as consumers of manufac- tured things, will profit They will profit doubly because they will sell al

little Russians. The little Russians of Russia are Greek orthodox The little Russians of Galicia are Unates. They acknowledges the pope's authority, but they observe the rites of orthodoxy. Bishop Eulogious of Russia, a fiery old missionary. has been trying to convert the half orthodox Uniates to orthodoxy, and he has got some converts.
 Hard is the trouble about languages A fierce war is raging as to how far the Polish and little Russian languages shall be tolerated. Most opinion stands for toll erating the Polish. Peter Struve, the first great Russian constitutionalist and libera- ton man, says that the little Russian lan- guage, as spoken in Galcia, should not be tolerated. Struve has become fierce nationalist. Little Russia is not tolerated in Russia; that is, 1t is not taught, even in elementary schools. Struve wants this policy applied to Galicia. The Ukrainians

going to get land when Germans are whacl5ed. Nobody dares to doubt that the Germans will be whacked. but some sceptics doubt whether there will be land, as Germany and Austria are filled with moujiks who make a living on patches of land which Russian moujills would starve on. When these cynics and sceptics told the peas ants so, few paid attention. Some went off to volunteer; a few returned to their homes, and the rest stay in Moscow and Kharkoff and wrestle with sceptics They started a procession with ikons to Czar Alexander IFS monument in the Kremlin, and VOW they will not go back to their land until victory comes and brings with 1t land.

Women Who Bother Actors

In the July American Magazine Katherine Grey writes a highly en- tertaining article entitled "Picking Up Stage Wisdom" Miss Grey has been leading woman to more stars than any other three actresses in America combined. In addition. she herself mas starred. In her article Miss Grey presents a wealth of stories of her personal experiences. Following Is a story she tells of William Faversham
 "One night Faversham said. wish you would walk out of the theatre with me tonight
 "'What for?' I asked.
 "'There's been a woman waiting for me outside every night for week, raid he, and I want to pass you off as my wife,
 'So he went out together and he hustled me across the sidewalk and into a cab. and as he did so flung out something to the waiting woman about being in a great hurry to take his wife home"
