Goethals on the Job.

General Goethals has withdrawn his resig-
nation governor of the Panama canal zone,
thereby proving he is too good soldier to with
draw until his battle Is completely won and his
enemy finally disposed of. He promises to stay
at Panama until the conditions OF the canal are
such as will require no especial attention. Cucu-
rancha slide is also on the job, and holds the
great engineer to his work The task of remod-
cling nature has proved much greater than could
have been anticipated, and the unexpected OBJ
trusion OF the seemingly interminable slide"
has provided one OF those unlooked-for difficult
ties that make such undertakings the proper
employment for genius. The job Is a big one

You don't know me, and don't know you. Lovingly. Signed K The note was addressed to no one and bears no date.

WARS GRIM REALITIES

'I am sure no one here will be offended by anything I have said, Sir Edward continued. 'It is not meant to be a re- proach to anyone. It is meant in some way or other to draw attention to what seems to me to be the realities of the lessons we have learned through the war. But do not imagine for moment that am without gratitude to our cousins beyond the Atlantic. God knows what we owe to them.
 'I could never get through if I at tempted to describe the many benefits they have conferred on humanity, even if they have not done all we had hoped for in this terrible struggle. But their latest one-and not the least-I call to mind in the murder of that brave woman of Belgium, Nurse Cavell Never will there depart from the minds of English men and Irishmen who understand the made by Brand Whitlock and Hugh Gib- son, who indeed, fulfilled not merely the functions of representatives of your great United States. but showed themselves men who had engraved in them those great qualities and feelings of humanity which, even in times of war, are inn planted by our Great 4haker, of mercy, forgiveness and comfort, developed in them in the highest degree. We are grateful to them. America ought to be proud of them, as I am sure she is"
 Sir Edward concluded with the express sion of the hope that the United States and Great Britain would be drawn closer together in the interests of civilization and humanity.

TWO DETECTIVES SUSPENDED FOR
 REFUSING TO TELL
 INFORMER'S NAME
(Coninued from Page Five)

Birmingham police department ever had spoke of the suspension of Eubank and Crenshaw in frank manner: "I am not wholly familiar with the facts in this case, hence I shall not criticize any official, but l am glad to express my views on the subject of detective be- ing honorable enough to deny the right of any man to force him to betray an-
 other I should be afraid to trust one
 of my men who told the name of their informer when they had pledged their
 word that they would not do so.
 Any man who would do such thing is disgrace to the detective force of any city, not an honor to 1t. I have known Eubank and Crenshaw very well in the past and have been closely af- fliated with them in their work. I wish
 to state that I consider them without a peer as detectives. l know, most posi-
 lively, that they are honorable and true; they are not the type of men that are found every day. Their work In
 the past on the largest cases in the de- partment has shown what they are
 made out of. l am grfeved to learn of
 their suspension and think they should
 be given a chance to explain their ac-
 tion in not telling the name of stheir informer."
 M. H. Mcdowell of Ensley said: 'In
 my capacity as one of the Ensiey ex-
 ecutives a few years ago I started Eu-
 bank and Crenshaw on their careers as detectives I regard them as the highest
 type of detectives. I know they are honest and straightforward in all their dealings. Their ability has been shown
 and I earnestly hope they will be re- instated."
 FIGURED IN NOTABLE CASES Eubank and Crenshaw have figured in more sensational criminal cases during the past two years than any detectives
 on the Birmingham police force. They will be remembered as the ones that worked up the case against the alleged train wreckers sometime ago. Archie Lee, one of the men, was recently tried and sentenced to serve 10 years in the penitentiary. They also worked night and day on the Barton murder mystery. l They were the means of the capture of | the two alleged yeggmen last Monday
 morning and they have recovered thou sands of dollars worth of stolen prop erty in the past. Their honor has never been questioned and this Is the first time they have ever been suspended. They have never received a reprimand and are generally considered to be two of the ablest men on the force.

Best Methods Of Killing and Shipping
the Fowls.
1t Is not the largest turkey that sells

Roger in the American Cultivator. The
demand generally Is for fat and plump
birds of medium size, for which at all
seasons an extra price can be obtain.
ed After the holidays turkeys weigh.
ing eight to ten pounds sell best.
Quite as much care and attention are
needed In killing, dressing and ship:
ping as In the growing. II this cannot
be done to good advantage it is best
to sell the birds alive. So much de-
Ponds upon proper marketing that
small growers should either dress and
sell to their home market or sell to
some one who makes a business of
handling such stock. #.:.sx + e.
None but well fattened stock should
be killed. There is no profit in send
ing poor birds to market. For twenty
four hours prior to butchering no food
must be given. This enables the crop
and entrails to become empty and
avoids much of the danger of spelling.
When the crop and entrails are full it
depreciates the value of the carcass
and quite frequently taints the meat,
preventing it's being kept for any
length Of time. s..
There are different methods Of kill
ing. one being to tie the feet together.
