HENRY GpADY'S PICTURE OF
 THE HOME OF THE FARMER

J orator and journalist in describ- ing the dignity of agriculture and place of the farmer in mod ern life. said:
 "A few Sundays ago l stood on a hill in Washington. My heart thrilled as l looked on the tow ering marble of my country s capitol. and mist gathered Tn my eyes as, standing there. l thought of it's tremendous signif icance and the powers there as sembled and the responsibilities there centered presidents, it's congress, its court, it's gath cred treasures, it's army, it's navy and its 60, 000,00 of citizens. It seemed to me that the best and 1 mightiest sign that the sun could find in it's wheeling course this majestic home of republic that has taught the world it's best lessons of liberty and l felt that if wisdom and justice and honor abided therein, the world would stand indebted to this temple on which my eyes rested and in which the ark of my covenant was lodged for it's final uplifting and regeneration,

School mpionship

II certainly regret that Central High
and Bessemer High will not be allowed
to play return game to decide the
championship of the Alabama Inter
scholastic Athletic conference" said Bill
STREET, an old Auburn star and one of the
best leading officials in the south. II
witnessed the game at Redwood field ber
tween the two elevens on Thanksgiving
morning and can truthfully say it was
one of the best games have ever wit
messed.
Had the two teams been allowed to
play off the tie, 1 firmly believe 5000 or
more people would have witnessed the
battle. A high school athletic associa-
ton can always use money and the funds
which the two teams could have made
off the game would have been of great
aid to them. AS 1t is, the title is dead
locked and the first championship Of
the gridiron of the A. I. A. c. goes to
no one.
II am looking forward to the next
meeting of the two teams with much
interest. believe the people will realize
that big college teams are not the only
ones to play good football. The Central
Bessemer game will soon be one of
prominence"

HOTEL LOBBIES


Every man and woman, and child that
has reached the age of understanding, in
the city OF Birmingham, should witness
the performance of The Old Homestead
that is being presented at the Bijou this
week" said Fred M. jackson, who, with
his family saw the performance last
night. 1T is so wholesome, clean and
inspiring that no matter what man s
viewpoint may be- he is bound to be
more or less influenced by. the splendid
moral lesson it conveys. Then, again,
the quaint and seemingly unconscious
humor of Josh Whltcomb and some of the
other characters make the play thor
oughly enjoyable and is a striking ex-
ample of the fact that people really enjoy
humor that is clean and removed from
every faint of vulgarity. One cannot help
feel better and kindlier and more charit-
able toward human weaknesses after wit
Messing the performance. 1t is we'll pre-
sented and well worth the time it takes
to see the performance"

Miss TarbelI n Marvel

"Those in charge of the Lyceum course
deserve credit for bringing Miss Ida NJ
Tarbell here, the thanks of every man
and woman in the city who is interested
in Birmingham intellectual life" said
Miss Emily Van Dozen Miller, reference
librarian, yesterday. Miss Tarbell is
simply marvel in the variety and range
of her interests, information and scholar
ship. One cannot help being struck by
the absolute fairness of her position on
all questions in which she has interested
herself and which she seems in some
miraculous way to have sifted to the
bottom and made surprisingly simple. In
forceful, picturesque fashion she presents
facts and truths, making them sound like
romance. On the platform she is talk
ing publicst and journalist, the like of
which I think America has not known
since the day of Horace Greeley"

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

Women are now taking an active inter-
est in politics. That is all right. But
there is going to be trouble when a can
didate who is a perfect lady has to get
on the fence.
II we were in Congress and wanted to
get a bill through we would write the bill
I'D in the form of a limerick. and we
know the President would indorse it.
We would like to make little bet that
the new dime isn't nearly as popular as
the old dollar.
Nobody objects to a girl of II looking
like a princess. The trouble is that a
girl of 81 tries to look that way, too.
Some men are so hard up for trouble
that they will sit down and worry over
how they could wear their spectacles If
nature hadn't supplied them with ears
and noses
You can stop river by damming it.
But it is different with wife.
Perhaps it isn't lack of modesty that
keeps more of our modern girls from
blushing. Maybe it is the fear that they
might strain their compilations.
When two women in a neighborhood
hate the same neighbor woman they are
the closest of friends.
1t is none of our business. But we
have a sneaking idea that in a whole
lot of makes of cars the only difference
between this years model and last years
model is the price.
A man is supposed to say nothing and
saw wood But a woman doesn't know
anything about saving wood,
When the groom takes out his pocket
book to pay the preacher he might as
well keep his pocketbook in his hand, for
he has only begun to pay.
And most of the gossips seem to be suf,
fering from the ear-to-mouth disease
When you start out to make man Of
yourself you don't get much assistance
But it is different when you start out tc
make a fool Of yourself.

From the New York Sun.
6NlHE very cover of Snider's Cyclone
Almanac, published at Griffin,
Ga, is convincing. 1t shows the
author, Prof. A. L. Snider, In evening
clothes, with silk topper and gold
headed cane No prophet not sure of his
weather would go around in such garb,
as we feel sure Professor Snider must go.
Quite the dress for a man whose weather
predictions are known from Rabuns
Gap to Tybee Light, from Tybee Light to
Helrs Gate, New York" Maybe HelPs
Gate is Broadway, but the seer mentions
that sinister street more particularly
further on in the almanac:
ION January "a, 1925, there will occur
a grand total eclipse of the sun on Broad
way, New York"
The discrimination against Fifth avenue
and other thoroughfares is not explained,
but let Broadway prepare because the
professor invariably gets things right:

best young weather prophet in this coun-
try. L studied under the Rev. Irl r.
Hicks of st. Louis for 16 years, and now
am one of his best weather prophets.
After 30 years of observations I have
some secret signs on the weather that I
have never known to fail. January will
be wet, cold and stormy"
On a day in June, no matter how fair
it be, if Professor Snider sees his old
black sheep with white face jumping up
and capering around with her tail held
straight in the air he knows it is going
to rain. February will be cold, wet and
stormy. Perhaps as guide to Georgia
SWANS, the almanacker prints "a Love

THE WEATHER OF THE SOUL

BY Bliss Carman.
There is a world of being,
We range from pole to pole,
Through seasons of the spirit "A
And weather of the soul
1t has its newborn Aprils
With gladness in the air.
It's golden Junes of rapture,
It's winters of despair.
And in the tranquil autumns
We halt to reinforce
Our tattered scarlet pennons
With valor and resource
From undiscovered regions
Only the angels know.
Great winds of aspiration
Perpetually blow
To free the sap of impulse
From torpor of distrust,
And into flowers of joyance
Quicken the sentient dust.
From nowhere of a sudden
Loom sudden clouds Of fault,
With thunders of oppression
And lightnings of revolt.
With hush of apprehension
And quaking of the heart,
There breed the storms of anger,
And floods of sorrow start.
And there shall fall-how gently
To make them fertile yet,
The rain of absolution
On acres of regret,
Till SHOWS of mercy cover
The dream that shall come true,
When time makes all things wondro
And life makes all things new.
