that Hartman & Co.'S bookkeeper
from New York was in the next room
with the books which proved that
Henry had bought thousands Of shares
of Mexican Petroleum.
The fact that Henry bought this
Mexican Petroleum stock was never
disclosed until the government rested
it's case and Henry opened his case
and proved by his evidence that he
had bought the stock. After this evil
dence for Henry was given to the jury
the government reversed it's position
and showed that 1t. too. had evidence
that Henry had bought the stock"
Prosecutor Laskey, in opening the
governments closing statement, said:
I'VE have just heard an eloquent ora
ton on the history of the freedom
of man from Magma Charta down to
today. but I ask you, what has that
to do with this case? Judge Wright
said yesterday that this indictment
against Henry is a bungling piece of
work and that the man who drew the in
dictment ought to be ashamed of him
self.
But Judge Wright had only an in
accurate typewriter copy of the in
dictment. The real, original indict-
ment contains no error. 1t is not
bungled. The man who drew IL 10 not
ashamed of himself"

Chamber of Commerce Campaign


 A Chamber of Commerce member ship campaign is being planned and excellent results may be expected.
 Year in and year out Birmingham's leading civic body is at work to ad- vance the substantial interests of the city and the district. During the re- cent years many of its achievements have been of far-reaching benefit and its influence will be all the more po- tential in the future if get-together spirit is thoroughly developed and maintained.
 What is especially needed now is larger revenue and larger member ship. With well conducted campaign for new members the roster should be increased 50 per cent or more and with such an increase the chambers re- ceipts from dues would be ample to carry out all reasonable undertakings.
 Within the last 12 months the funds of the organization have been entirely too limited for promoting work of constructive character; yet under the leadership of President Crawford Johnson the Chamber of Commerce has accomplished many things of real importance. With ade- quate funds at his disposal the presi- dent with his tireless energy and breadth of view will be able to make notable record.
 Now that Birmingham is enjoying a period of genuine prosperity, mem- bership campaign should be about the easiest thing agoing

coon UsE FOR OLD ALTOS

What to do with an old automobile so as to get something out of it is puzzling question. The engine is generally in serviceable condition, but the body is more or less wrecked, bent and out of date. Many are converted into small trucks by removing the rear seat and putting on a body. In this way an old automobile may give good service for several years in carrying produce to mar ket.
 Another use for an old automobile is a, a light tractor. Farm and Home tells of a Canadian farmer who conceived the idea of putting his old car to work on his farm after driving it more than 20, county. It was converted into a tractor by putting in an extra axle under the frame, two feet in front of the rear axle of the car, on which were placed two binder wheels The rear wheels were re- placed with small sprocket wheels, which were connected with large sprockets on the drive wheels by a chain. This re- duced the speed of the car and gave it more power.
 In it's converted form it has proved very useful. It's owner states he was able to 70 acres with his automobile. By drawing two Pinch bushers, he managed to break five acres day, or the equivalent to the work done by six to eight horses.
 The consumption of gasoline is much less than the cost of horse feed, while the saving in time is an important item.

WHEN POETS GO WRONG

From the New York Telegram.
 Tennyson, when he apostrophized the old yew, whose "fibres net the dreamless head" indulged in a false antithesis.
 The seasons bring the flower again,
 They bring the firstling to the flock;
 But in the dusk of thee the clock
 Beats out the little lives of men.
 The seasons do not bring the same flower again: and this years firstling is not last years f1rstling reborn. Nor is the ''Nttle life of man" determined by other causes than those which operate in the case of the primrose or the lamb.
 Measured by the beat of the clock, some organisms run the gamut of their career in a few days. while others exhaust cen turies. But the process is the same.
 During it's brief lifetime an aphis may have progeny computable only in billions; a score may be born in as many hours, and in a few days become the founders of new families.
 At the other end of the scale an Indian elephant born in the reign of Aurungzeb might have witnessed the East Indian troops on their way to join the allies and have left behind him fewer offsprings than many an eastern potentate.

The current issue of Farm and Preside Is believed to be the only subterranean mushroom farm in existence. The farm is operated by William Krumlaugh of Ohio, 100 feet under the surface of the earth The business is both profitable and pleasant. Two years ago I>rum- laugh began growing mushrooms in beds located in the worked-out entries of sn all coal mine on his farm. He planted l50 square feet as an experiment. and now he has 1000 square feet of mushroom beds which pay him more in winter than tho output of coal Fresh manure is mixed with straw. sprinked with water and permitted to stand four or five weeks. Spawn is then broken up into small pieces after which it is placed in coal cars and hauled 400 yards into the mine to the mushrooms beds. Leaf mold is placed over the manure and spawn to depth of one and one-half inches. The mush- rooms come up within 10 weeks. When tEIee inches high they are picked and a new crop is ready every two or three days. The nearest market pays s5 cents a pound, but mushrooms sold in Pitts burg and Chicago bring nearly double that price.

MEANING OF BARBER POLES
he New York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram.
 In the old days of illiteracy symbols were all powerful To people who could not read. the charges of heraldry were perfectly ineligible
 The barber pole, with it's quaint sym bolism, and the mortar and pestle signified respectively the tonsorial accompanied with blood letting. if necessary. and the saving grace of the apothecary.
 Sceptres or rnaces were indicative of kings, who were recognized through their agency, and crozier performed the same office for an archbishop, when it was be- fttingly borne before him.
 Roman magistrates were similarly pre- ceded by the fasces Mercury's badge was a herald's staff, or the caduceus, and Neptune's symbol was the trident.
 The use of such badges of authority and office was very widespread. Origi- nally weapons of offense, they became mere symbols of legal, civic or academic dignity.
 They were evolved from a barbaric club into art objects upon which the arts and crafts lavished all of their skill and technique.
 Beadles' staffs are found in many old churches. Some of them are surmounted with figures admirably modelled.
