HE nonor system has been
adopted at many American
colleges and universities TO

A'es 'N'hA
adopted at many American
colleges and universities to
prevent unfair practices by
students such as those which were
disclosed during the recent investiga-
ton at the United States Naval Acad-
envy At Annapolis. What the honor
system implies is simply this: That
each student signs a pledge to the ef-
feet that he has neither given nor
received dishonest assistance either
before or during an examination, and
that he agrees to report n cases OF
cheating which he may nave seer In
the examination.
In l23 colleges and universities this
system is used, according to the latest
available reports. while in other in
stitutions the old time proctor system
exists. Under the proctor system the
members OF the faculty are RESPONSE
bic for order and honesty in the ex-
aninations. According TO the United
states Bureau OF Education the past
three years have seen a marked in
crease in the adoption OF the honor
system in American colleges and the
bureau reports that those colleges in
which the system Is in force are Its
strongest advocates.
The honor system 10 usually the
outgrowth OF bad conditions in the
eNamtnation room and in practically
all cases 1t is adopted at the instiga-
ton of or with the consent OF the
student body. The students them
selves realize the evil effects Of crib
hing or otherwise cheating al exami-
nations. They realize also that the
proctor system II for many reasons
insufficient to prevent dishonest prac-
tees.

Returning Prosperity

Alan Jemison. the well known real estate operator. who has recently re- turned to the city, says:
 'fhe evidences of an early spring bring evidences of improved conditions not only in Birmingham but through out the state. Clients of mine east and also some locally who loan money on real estate are offering funds again. find a steady inquiry for good real estate investments. Many persons who have surplus funds to invest after awaiting the most favorable oppor- tunities for buying at rock bottom. have awakened to the fact that the real bargain period created by financial stringency is waning; in fact. already holders are stiffening on values and there is a more hopeful and independ- ent tone to the real estate market as to owners who wish to sell And the demand for farms and for exchange of farms for city property is steadily n- creasing, With much activity. It is rather peculiar situation that presents itself Many city folks wish to get out on farm; many prosperous farm CTS wish to come to the city to give their families the opportunities and ad : vantages of a city education or the social life"

THE PINEAPPLE CIDER BANQUET

From the New York Tribune.
 It is probably not true that the soft drink, like the soft. answer, turneth away wrath. Otherwise the navy's quarrel with Secretary Daniels, follow ing his dinner for Admiral Baron Dewa aboard the Mayfiower, would have be- come but the memory of a bitterness dissolved in a deluge of pineapple cider. But contrary to the exact sciences, we fear his libation on this occasion has served rather to feed the flame which his name kindles and which alcohol alone will quench.
 It was an aggravation of the offense that he should serve the beverage m the champagne style, even to the napkin about the bottle hiding it's label. What surprise, what joyful anticipation, what preparation to bury the hatchet and welcome their chief into the brother hood of the bibulous as our naval veter- ans watched the sparkling amber liquid foam in the long stemmed glasses! And then the long, deep drafts as they drank the Secretary's health--and the awaken . ing! That surely was cruel joke. Those guests could have forgiven him more readily the substitution of one of the patent medicines he delights to ad- vertise The medicines at least have a kick in them.

 l remember with contrition efforts to turn Puritan feet out of one channel or pathway into another. Little brothers who are fond of each other struggle hard to harmonize their likes and dislikes and tendencies, so as to pursue the same ob- Jects with enthusiasm. I can never think without smiling of those boyish days fn tn. lone forest soltudes when the spirit nearest to mine, my nearest brother my Achates, tried to be interested in fish ing and hunting, both of us half knowing that he was interested in these pursuits merely because l was. It became a joke between us that most of his success in fishing was in the way of getting his hook caught in the bushes. But he had his success when at our home he brought out his books relating to Wilson and Au- dubon and the birds and the flowers we had found in our wanderings in the will derness. When he painted his pictures it was my turn to try to harmonize. tried to paint both of us knowing that did so chiefly because he did.

Warrior County Suggested

.'The people of my part of the county Warrior, Morris and Leeds do not wish to see Jefferson county dsmembered, said Dr, E. P. Pruitt, "but if il is the wish of the people to create a separ- ate county of Birmingham, with Pet tus county also created, then We want still another county created with War rior as the county seat.
 "It would be a handicap on the cit izens of that portion of Jefferson lying north of Birmingham to require them to go around Birmingham, or through it, to Bessemer to attend court or any other duties calling them to the county seat.
 Already we have prepared and cir culated petitions looking to the crea- ton of Warrior county and they are be- ing readily signed. The constitutions al area of 600 square miles will be pro- vided, by taking off a corner of Gull man and a slice off of Blount county. including Philadelphia. The Jefferson portion would take in Blossburg, Lew isburg, Brookside and Leeds, some Of them already many miles from the pres ent courthouse.

Alabama to Feed Itself

Alabama will raise more foodstuffs this year than it did last, or than 1t has done in any previous year; and it is now accepted as certainty that within the next few years it will raise enough of everything to feed itself. So much for the crop diversification campaign.
 While many farmers have been pro- ducing corn and hay on a large scale during several years past the majori- ty of the cotton farmers have had to buy foodstuffs. Alabama should in the course of time be a seller of food stuffs to other states, but as P. G.. Holden, the farm demonstration eX pert who has been great factor in the present campaign, remarked the other day, it will be time enough to talk about markets after the state has got to the point of feeding it. eslf.
 Food independence goes long way towards the creation of wealth. When a state is favored by nature as Ala bama is, with soils suited to every kind of agriculture and where cotton will always be great asset, it is only a question of intelligent effort on the part of its husbandmen to make this the richest state in the union.
 This year Alabama's corn produc- tion should be double that of last, say about one hundred and twenty five million or one hundred and thirty million bushels; but in the next two or three years it should reach the two million mark Other food crops should and will increase. Next fall the farm CTS who suffered on account of the low price of cotton will forget their troubles and will think of this as one of the best of years.

PUGILISM AND WAR

From the MllWaukee Sentinel.
 Enter our illustrious fellow citizen, Jack Johnson, as determining factor in the war in Mexico. Mir. Johnson, who Is now in Barbadoes, has been suffering much travail of soul as to the present lack of an open port of entry to Mexico. As is we'll known, he is under contract with one Willard, the elongated white despair, to rob the public to a finish at Juarez on March 6. But unfortunately the Carranzistas, who are unfavorably disposed to the Juarez affair as being under the patronage of the Villaistas, arg in possession of the seaports and propose to shut MT.

huge industry in full operation by March 1, 1916.
 The officials of the company say they believe prosperity is near at hand and they are showing their faith in the future in most convincing way. The company started in 1903 with ten mills and capacity of 100000 boxes. In 1910-11 twelve mills were added, in- creasing the output to 1,S00,000 boxes. In little more than a decade tre- mendously successful enterprise has been built up.
 Nothing indicates more certainly the advantages offered in this coun- try to men who have the ability and the pluck to do big things than the rapid growth of industries which are begun on modest scale and in few years become mighty factors in the nations industrial life.

 And here I come to the next of those something's which l wish to say. It is not something new, but something that has been emphasized by my experience. It is the fact so often discovered by the aged, that folks of any sort do not in the depths
