FARMER COMMITS SUICIDE.
Dempsey Parks Of Wayne Drinks Cat-
tie Spray Solution and Dies.

Mount Olive, May 15.-Dempsey
Parks, prominent Wayne county
farmer living about se7en miles east
of here, committed suicide Friday by
drinking solution which his son,
Mack Parks, had prepared to spray
cattle to rid them of ticks.
According te the report reaching
here, Mr.. Parks left. his home about Z
O'Clock, saying he was going to a near
by swamp. Instead, however, he went
to the home of his son, going up to
the house from back way. Coming
upon this mixture out in the yard, Mr..
Parks seized the jug. containing it ana
began drinking its NESTS. A negro
nearby saw what Mr.. Parks was doing
and hastene5 to him and succeeded in
keeping him from drinking any more,
but too late, as he had already drunk
enough to do the work death ensuing
about noon.
Mr. Parks was about IS or 81 years
of age and had been in very feeble
health for several years past.

MUST Be NO EVASION

Germany's answer to the United
States will be awaited anxiously, but
whether or not the Berlin government
makes friendly reply and agrees to
acquiesce in all the terms of President
Wilson's clearly and vigorously phras-
ed note cabled through the state de-
partment to Ambassador Gerard and
delivered by him to the German for
eign Office, this document will become
history.
The President has written number
Of diplomatic notes distinguished by
poise and a deep sense of justice as
well as rare literary skill, but this
latest protest, called forth by the loss
of more than 100 American lives in
the sinking of the Lusitania, is the
most masterful of all. It is couched
in the usual terms of diplomatic cour-
tesy, but in the discussion of vital de-
tails it is clear and earnest and the
touches of fine irony in it could not be
exceIled.
The note makes it plain that there
must be no evasion on the part of the
German government.

Country life is to be enjoyed and
must be cultural as well as vocation
all
And to this end, there must be mu-
sic in the homes, entertainments in
the community and opportunities for
social enjoyment throughout the dis
trict.
The county farm demonstrator is not
left out in the scheme. It is urged
that if the principal does not own his
the members of the club and the prin-
cipal will elect the farm demonstrator
their leader to continue through the
summer months the work begun before
the close of the school, And on the
same principle, the tomato club work
er will have the same relation to the
| girls club work that the demonstrator
has to the work of the boys.
School is Social Center.
And in it all, the auditorium of the
schools is to become the social center
of the neighborhood That is the gath
ering place for all the community, an
the meeting place for all the forces
engaged in community uplift. Here
with spelling matches, debating CON
tests, musical entertainments, lectures
illustrated addresses, the value to The
auditorium will be worked out.
With this, the school will becoms
a vitalized community center in whic1
all the forces of the community work
ing for it's highest well being will bt
unified, stimulated, and made NOR,
effective.

ITALY is CERTAIN
TO ENTER WAR
Italians Will Cast Their
Lot With the
Allies
THE SITUATION
CROWS TENSE
Action May Be Delayed Until Thurs
day; Again the Storm May Break
SoOner-AH Preparations
Are Made.

London, May 16.-The King OF Italy
of Signer Salandra and the premier
and whole war cabinet retain ONCE.
This, it is confidently believed here,
foreshadows the almost immediate ell
trance of Italy into the circle of belli-
gerents on the side of the allies.
Action, however, may be delayed
until the meeting Of the chamber of
deputies on Thursday when the pre-
mier will announce his policy and will
receive the support Of a majority OF
the deputies.
Should the expected action of Italy
materialize, the allies Will be in a bet
ter position than ever to launch their
big offensive movement against Aus
tria and Germany, which is being pre-
ceded on the western front by a series
of attacks, furnishing a foretaste OF
what is to come.
Scarcely had the German attacks On
the British lines around Ypres ex-
hausted themselves and the French
offensive north of Arras shown signs
of coming to an end than the British
became the aggressors north of La
Bassee, and the French and Belgian
troops began their attempt to throw
the Germans back from the User ca
nal
These attacks, according to the
French official account, which how
ever, does not agree with that from
Berlin, were successful and again COM
PEELED the Germans to counter-attack
the most costly of all operations in
siege warfare. Fighting at both points
continues today and in Arlois where
the French added further slight gain
to those made during the week and
which, combined, constitute the big
gest movement of either army in the
west since the battle of the Marne.
Fighting also is in progress in the
Woevre, particularly west of the for
est of LePretre, which the French also
won during the past week.
There does not appear to be muct
change in the general situation il
Galicia although the Austro-Germar
armies have been able to make an ad
ditional slight advance by the with
drawal Of the Russian rear guards
which have been holding off the vic
torious troops until their own armie
could get into new positions behinc
the San river. This territory promise
to be the scene of another big battl
for the Russians, strongly reinforced
will make desperate effort to sten
the tide which has been running s.
strongly against them.
In the Russian border province
along the east Prussian frontier iso
lated engagements are occurring i
which both sides claim to have tn
advantage.

Eight romatoe. on One stem


 s. J. King. of 2s17 Thirty fourth avenue, North Birmingham. well-known and esteemed citizen. presented The Age Herald's truck garden editor yesterday With n bunch of large cream yellow tomatoes-eight on one stem-weghing three and three-quarters pounds, which he had raised on one of his vacant lots
 T had been employed at the Southern Pipe and Foundry works, which burned down sometime ago." said MT. King, and as l did not like the idea of being idle, fenced in one of my lots and turned it into vegetable garden. I have been very successful, for have not only kept my table supplied but have given away great many vegetables to friends and neighbors and have sold enough besides to help out appreciably in our household economy.
 These yellow tomatoes are of high quality. My wife obtained the seed in Cleveland, O., her former home.'

Business-Lilxe Crowds

"The Saturday shopping crowds ar- pear to be growing larger in the down town section of the city, remarked T. V. Johnson of Birmingham, "and the people evidently maintain their wonted energy despite the hot weather.
 "The crowds which throng the streets have a brisk appearance. Business con ditions are becoming better in the dis trict There Is nothing like activity of the industrial plants to put new vigor into the people of this city, and for the past month or so there has been cheering news of all kinds, such as is calculated to increase confidence and to dspell any shadows of depression.
 'The remainder of the summer prom ises to be a busy one for Birmingham. People have ceased to worry about the European war or as for that matter, anything else which might have been construed by calamity howlers last year as pressaging Ill for the welfare of the community. Almost everyone who hopes to succeed in his line is attending strictly to business and allowing mat ters which do not concern his immediate affairs to adjust themselves as best they may"

Square With the World

Square with the world" will be no idle phrase next January, if a cam paign started in Hume, Mo-, meets with popular approval.
 Recently Hume observed "pay up'' week during which everyone was ex- pected to make supreme effort to settle all outstanding obligations. The idea worked in Hume-worked so well that 1t has been enlarged upon and a campaign of nationwide scope has been instituted.
 The call for the observance of a na- tional pay up week sets the date as January l to 8, 1916, and every effort will be made to spread the doctrine o1 debt-paying, that everyone may starr the new year square"
 Credit is a very good thing many times, but like many other gooo things, it is often abused. A "pay-as. you-enter" system would result in in.

calculable saving to consumers. Deal CTS in all kinds of necessities could operate on a smaller margin of profit, If 1t were not necessary to provide for the percentage of loss due to the credit system. Someone, either direct ly or indirectly, has to balance up the "loss" side of the ledger The burden often falls on those who do pay.
 The campaign instigated by Hume is one which will work a wonderful advantage, not only to individuals but to business enterprises, and to the prosperity of the nation-if everyone takes it up and acts on the principle
 Pay up; be "square" with the world.

We are positive that this policy will pay us and pay our customers in the long run. ,"
