mons Gould, in the suit to foreclose

and wants the sale held up until the

LUXE M,LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A whole lot of men are so busy arguing about the war in Europe causing hard times in this country that they haven't time to hunt for a job.
 What has become of the old fashioned man who used to shine his boots witt, stove polish every Sunday morning?
 Women like to build castles in the air because when the structures are com pleted the pipes never freeze, the fur mace never goes out and there are no dishes to wash.
 Once in a while you will find a girl who is so fond of Holsters that she mar ries one.
 One reason why there isn't any fun in gambling with your wife is because it keeps the money in the family.
 If you have a great idea and make money out of it, you are a genius. But if you do not make any money out of it you are crank or plain nut. One-half of the world has too much ed ucation and too little experience And the other half has too little education and too much experience. The player piano in the front room sell dom needs it, but the family Bible on the | table near the piano always needs dust ing.
 And there is such a thing as a man be. ing so public spirited that he can't lei other peoples business alone long enough
 to attend to his own business. We may be only tenth raters at what we are doing. But we all know that we could do the other fellows job better than he is doing it.
 The high cost of living wasn't such
 a much in the old days when a woman was satisfied to go down town with 8 lump of chalk tied in a corner of her hand. kerchef. Nowadays she wants a s5 vanity | bag and has to buy about $6 worth o1
 cosmetics to fill the blame thing. The faster a man is, the longer it takes him to get home at night. l Some men are smart enough to acquire a reputation for being liberal because they give away things that they cant use themselves.
 It often happens that the same gir who leads all her classes in the gym is so delicate when she is at home thal washing dishes would give her nervous
 prostration.

Allegiance to Party
A dispatch from Decatur quotes ex- Gov. R. B. Glenn of North Carolina as

A dispatch from Decatur quotes ex- Gov. R. B. Glenn of North Carolina as follows:
 I did not join the flying squadron of
 prohibition speakers because I would
 have had to take oath that
 would not support any candidate for
 office unless he declared in favor of prohibition. I am still good demo- crat.
 From the above, it is deduced that Mr. Glenn, in the event that democrats nominate candidate for the presi- dency who fails to declare for prohi bition, he will remain faithful to his party and vote for him at the polls.
 It is also deduced that the members of the flying squadron, the mysteri- ous force which created that organiza- tion and its innumerable adherents throughout the United States will, in the event that the democrats nominate a local optionist, abandon the party, and rally to the support of the na- tional prohibition candidate.
 It is fast becoming common knowl- edge that the advocates of prohibition (and no criticism of their course is here intendedJ are forming themselves into close political corporation, the members of which are bound by oath to support the tenets of the faith.
 It is quite proper that those who put prohibition above democracy should flock into the prohibition party, for it has seldom in the history of the world occurred that the lion and the lamb could long remain in amity to- gether.

Leon Friedman tells this one:
 Dick Eggleston is one of the most gem erous members of the club, but he has an idiosynerasy of kidding his friends about setting them up.' The other night in the cafe he came in, looked around, and pro- ceeded to ask two or three of the bovs he knew we'll: How about a cigar?' or Who's going to buy the drinks? A visf- tor from New York was sitting close to me and he leaned over and asked soto voce: Who is that? The house man?'
 Here Is an amusing little story which was told by a well known physician the ether evening when reference was made to the wisdom of keeping on the safe side.
 T haven't always lived in big Bir- mingham. and in the little town I came from I was evidently considered some scorcher when it came to tearing up the turnpike in an automobile. One afternoon the telephone rang in my office.
 Doctor said the soft voice of a wom- an at the other end of the wire. are you going out in your automobile this after noon?
 Why, mo-. was my wondering re- sponse; that is, not until well toward evening. Why do you wish to know?'
 "I want to send my little daughter down to the store for some thread was the startling rejoinder of the soft voice. and not wanting her to get hit I thought

State Educational Association

The annual meetings of the State Educational association are always well attended and Montgomery is ex- pecting 2500 teachers to answer the roll call there at this years conven- tion next week. State Superintendent of Education Feagin has issued a statement in which he urges every public school teacher in Alabama to be present.
 The educational association is a center of far-reaching influence. It's discussions are of practical value and many of the papers read are distinctly Illuminating. Every meeting is an inspiration to the young men and women who have entered the teaching profession, and as Montgomery's hos pitality is unsurpassed the gathering will have many delightful social fea- lures which will count for much in the way of needed diversion.
 The State Educational association has very important work ahead of | it in connection with the long desired improvement of school conditions in the rural sections under the proposed amendment to the constitution. When that measure becomes law, as it will after the election in 1916, every coun- ty and every school district will be authorized to levy special tax for school purposes. A few counties may be somewhat slow at the start in availing themselves of the taxing privilege. But in time all of them will be in line. It is for the educational association to use it's organized agencies in promoting campaign for more and better schools. It can cer- tainly accomplish much for the good cause by cooperating with the Ala bama illiteracy commission recently created.

Change in Convict System

That the several corporations are beginning to tire of the practice of leasing convict labor from the state is demonstrated by the fact that Gov ernor Henderson, having no place in which to put idle criminals to work, has offered them to the counties for . very modest hire.
 The counties, which unlike the state and the cities, have not suffered from lack of funds, should and will, it is probable, take advantage of the lib- eral offer of Governor Henderson, and with cheap labor construct additional miles of modern highway.
 The time is fast approaching, ac- cording to every indication, when the state and the corporations, for the sake of financial profit, will not longer conspire to perpetuate what Senator White has termed "a blot on civiliza- tion and black mark against relig- ion." The legislature which is now sitting will alleviate the burden of the convict, and subsequent legislatures will take him entirely out of the mines and put him to work on the farms and the roads of the state.
 This is altogether as it should be. The fact that now the upkeep of con- victs has become so burdcnsome to the state that the governor is anxious to lease them to the counties, is simply the beginning of new regime in Alabama, and one which, in the long run, will prove more profitable to the state and the people of the state than that which currently obtains.

perform its greatest service in instill- ing in the breast of future careless or negligent officeholders of the state q lasting fear of detection and criticism. This service, however, may or may not be worth third of the SIS, 1000, or S600o.
 But should the financial committee evolve new and practical system of taxation, and construct at the same time a just. and profitable revenue bill; and should the judiciary commit tee rearrange the present judiciary system so that justice will not be de- nied or delayed, and the law en- forced at the same time at a great reduction in cost, then the commit tee will have been worth their hire.
 The important work is not to be per- formed by the committee, the duty of which it is to parade soiled linen, and cause ghosts to walk from closets. It's work will be merely incidental. That committee, as a matter of fact, is act ing in the capacity of the black-faced comedian who entertains the crowd while the doctor" is selling his medi- cine. The success of the scheme de- bends almost entirely on the work of the other committees, which up to the present time have attracted only minor attention.

That Absurd Law

The absurd law preventing the sale or distribution by carrier of newspa- pers or magazines containing whisky, beer Of wine advertisements in Ala bama is working a great hardship upon the intelligent people of this state. Such publications as Life, Puck, Judge, the Cosmopolitan and the oth- CT excellent publications, including practically all of the magazines, are put under the ban in Alabama, and people can only get them by subscrib- ing directly Many of the newsstand men are almost put out of business.
 If the members of the legislature desire to punish the local newspapers of Alabama by preventing them from printing whisky or beer advertise ments let them, under the leadership of few fanatics, do so for the pres ent. But the legislature at it's July session should at least repeal that sec ton of the law which puts a ban on foreign publications distributed and sold in Alabama.
 The public should not be cut off from reading the high class magazines just because some of them advertise champagnes, beer or ever high grade of whisky.

NEWSPAPER CLUB STORIES

it best to call you up and be on the safS side ;"
 One of the lady members" of the News paper club related this:
 "A little negro girl one day went to a lady's house and asked for employment as nurse. She appeared satisfactory. all though she was very young. but she would at least do for a playmate for the baby. Tho lady said:
 By the way. what is your name?"
 Fertilizer was the reply.
 Who in the world ever gave you such a name?
 Nah mommy.'
 What for?'
 Ah dunno
 Well, you tell your mother to come to see me tomorrow the employer said. I want to know something about that name.'
 ''The next day the mother waddled up with the little nurse and the first ques- tion she was confronted with was:
 What is this child's real name? Fertilizer, ma ann
 Well, please explain why you ever gave her such a name?
 Hits disaway,' she said, Me and nah man both wanted our child named after us He's named Ferdinand and I'm 1amed Eliza. So we took Ferd from his name and Liza from mine and called our chile Fertilizer
