White" said Prof. E. E. Smith. chair
man of the executive committee of
the Birmingham (Ala) Home and
School Garden association, "in which
he offers to send the usual vegetable

er seed and farm bulletins on home
gardening, for distribution among
their constituents. If anyone desires
vegetable and flower seeds, or the bull
letins on home gardening, and will
drop me postal, shall gladly send
them what they DESIRE
Our association wishes to encour-
age children particularly to write a

now or will have in two weeks an ap-
proximate enrolment in this associa-
ton of 10000 children, and through
them we hope to work wonders in the
city beautiful work of the coming sum-
mer.
This association is working under
the auspices and supervision of the
city government and we intend to
create as much enthusiasm and love
of flowers among children as we pos
sibly can.

Well, Christmas has come and
gone, and the big special edition of
the Recorder was bowling success,
judging from the many compliments
that we have had handed to us, and
which we very much appreciate, to
know that we have pleased our sub
scribers. We are deeply indebted to
the many friends who assisted us in
the contribution of news articles and
items, and to Chas ]. Lisle, who
spent two days assisting us in com
piling the paper, and the kindness
of the two mattresses, from the Rich
field hotel, Martha and Alice, who
did the folding, and the Parson who
volunteered that if anything went
wrong that he would do the swearing
for us, and to the merchants who SO
literally patronized our ad columns,
and gave us their hearty support, and
to all who purchased papers and sent
to their friends, we say THANKS.

CHILD sMoTHERs IN COTTON
Little Oklahoma Girl Digs Hole in Pile
and Then Accidentally
Tumbes In.

Guthrie, Okla.-The nine-year-old
daughter of Paul Richey, farmer liv-
ing near Prague, thirty miles east OF
here, was drowned" in pile of cotton
in her fathers field.
When the little girl was missed, her
parents started out to search for her.
Her father finally saw her shoes on
top of the huge mound of cotton, and
closer examination disclosed her body
buried, head first, in the fluffy mass.
She evidently had dug hole in the
pile and then accidentally fallen into
it, the loose cotton packing about her
and smothering her.

Speedometer Sets Limit at Which
Auto May Run.

The ordinary functions of speed
ometer-indicatin rate of travel and
mileage already covered-have been
augmented by third in machine
recently evolved by an eastern man
ufacturer. The new instrument is
arranged to govern the speed of the
car as the additional feature, and this
Is accomplished in a simple way. In
the base of the speedometer frame is
a small barrel containing tumblers
and other mechanism of a Yale lock.
Inserting the proper key in this lock
permits dial at the top to be re-
volved and set at any desired figure.
This figure will thereafter represent
the speed above which the automo-
bile cannot go, and withdrawing the
key effectually prevents the numbers
being changed.
The working of the instrument is
described in the January Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

CAN'T PROVE HE IS DEAD
Will of Man Who Has Been Missing
Twenty-One Years, Offered
for Probate.

Denver.-For the first time in the
history Of the Denver county court
the will of a man of whose death there
is no record has been lodged with
the clerk of the court. 1t may be-
come necessary to have the maker,
George t. Sheets, declared legally
dead before the instrument is offered
for probate.
Sheets, a contractor, made the will
in 1898. He was then seventy-two
years old. A year later he disap-
peared. The family did not know of
the existence of the will until few
days ago, when Attorney Edwin Parke
discovered the document in his safe.
Parke turned it over to the clerk Of
the court.

ways to be taken for granted in small

are you reader to find fault than to ex-
