Product Of the Bee Utilized.

OF course the great use for honey in
old English days was to make mead
and metheglin. Pliny said mead had
all the bad qualities Of wine and none
of the good ones. Mead was made both
in the north and south of Europe, but
in the south the grape was more popu-
lar, while in the north the product of
the bee reigned supreme. Mead was
the Saxon drink; but the Normans
brought the grape wine from France
with them, and it became u potent
rival.

Romance and Sentiment.

Some people think that the working
girl becomes coarse and unwOmanly
and loses her natural charm and ro-
mantle sentiment. This Is not true.
for the business girl not only does not
have all the romance and sentiment
knocked out of her by learning to do
things for herself, but she is better
suited to select husband or to mate
with the man with whom she will be
happy than those girls who learn the
practical side Of life only by what
they hear of the outside world and
through the gossip Of the narrow cir
Gle in which they move. g3

FLORENCE

Florence, August 2.-(Special.) .)-One of the innovations in school life in Ala bama Is the keeping of the State Normal school at this place open practically the entire year. Three years ago the State Normal school board authorized the faculty and management of the Florence State Nor mal school to work out a plan whereby it could be kept open all the year for the training of teachers. the credit of which must be given Dr. Henry J. Will lingham, who resigned the office of su- perintendent of education of Alabama to take charge of this school. This was in 1913 Since that time he has been con- stantly working out the plans, but not until this year has he been able to see all his plans consummated and carried out to their full extent.
 The summer school at Florence was the most largely attended of any of the sum- mer schools in the state. During the first six weeks of the present terms there were 335 teachers. from all parts of the state, in attndance. not a county in the state that was not represented and now during the last part of the term more than 100 of these teachers are re- maining to complete and round out the entire work of the summer. This work Is being done easily and with comfort and the wonder is that it had not been ine augurated long ago.

ENGLAND FEARING
 COTTON SHORTAGE Effort to Be Made to In. crease Amount Grown
 Within Empire

Manchester, England, July 29.-(Corres- pondence of the Associated Press.)-The outlook in regard to future supply of raw cotton for the great Lancashire mills Is serious, according to Chairman Hut ton of the Council of British Cotton Growing associations. MT. Hutton says:
 -The demands of the world for cotton are going to increase and particularly in America, which country, thanks to the war, is now getting a very strong hold on the export trade. This means that every year when supplies are short, there is going to be a scramble for cotton and we can be sure that America will not go short, and that Great Britain as the next largest consumer, will be the greatest sufferer. The situation is one to cause the grayest anxiety. do not think one can exaggerate it's seriousness. Un- less we can build up new supplies in other parts of the world I can see most serious losses facing the Lancashire cot ton trade, and it may be that Lancashire will permanently lose very large pro- portion of our export trade. If that should happen many of our mills will have to close and a large proportion ot the population must migrate.
 The Lancashire cotton industry is mainly dependent on the export trade probably to the extent of four-fifths oi the machinery employed. It has to meet the competition of the whole world mad in the past this has been done by pro- ducing articles finer and superior in quail ity than our competitors can produce
 For this we must have ample supplies of

 , the longer, finer and better qualities of cotton.
 e"Lancashire is dependent on America for S3.7 per cent of the cotton required for the spindles, which have increased to | 60, ,000,00O and looms to SO0,0O0, and as America consumes more every year, it | means short time and other difficulties for Lancashire mills, besides a shrink age in export of cotton goods" Great Britain, according to MT. Hut ton. is not obtaining the same proportion of the American crop as formerly. In the period of 1890-1895 Great Britain took 36.5 per cent of the American crop, but for the period of 1910-1915 it was only 256 per cent. This is accounted for by the greatly increased consumption on the part of America and if the cotton trade of the world is to be in position to
 meet the natural increase in the demand, and increased production every year of at least 500,000 bales is necessary Regarding the possibilities of cotton grown within the British Empire, MT. Hutton considers these are good, but the war has set back the scheme for increas- 1 ing such growth in various parts. India 1 grows hardly any cotton suitable to the 1 Lancashire trade; Egypt produces the | sort required, but in insufficient quanti- 1 ties; Uganda cotton is all that could be | desired, but the trade received a severe | handicap by the war. Nigeria shows the I best possibilities with a production of l 2o,000 bales, but here again the difficulty l is to establish a good variety which will | make the industry profitable to the na- 1 tive.
 In urging the government to immediate action and to consider the question of l grants, he says 'the Lancashire cotton | trade is faced with most serious diff- culties and even with possible ruin and | there is not a moment to be lost"

 "Hilliard is one of the few actors who still hold out In fact the handsome
 stage star regards the film as the gull lotine of the spoken drama. Still when Ince invited him to write his own con- tract, saying that her would pay first

 happened that Hilliard few days later
 was welded to a brewers daughter pos- sessing millions.
 "It was quite the same with Billie Burke, now intrenched at Inceville. Ince had made up his mind to sign the Froh- man star, provided money would induce her. Like Ince, Miss Burke became fa- nous almost overnight. and, was enjoy- ing the sensation of finding a four-figure check in her weekly pay envelope. "When Ince offered $40.0O0 for one months effort on her part in the vaca- ton season there wasSno sign of accept ance. Not until she gazed upon the spec tacle of Jnce directing massive film pro- duction and had become daily visitor at Inceville did she commence to listen Even then there was the Frohmap inter- ests to pacify, and the consent of Florens Ziegfeld was essential

BLACK KNOT DISEASE
 FORM OF GROWN GALL

Black knot disease is one form of crown gall on the roots of peaches, ap- ples and other fruit trees.
 Grape vines can stand a good deal of this trouble without being killed by it, but whenever the gall extends en- tirely around the stalk it shuts off the circulation of sap and destroys the part of the plant which is beyond. Judging from the samples, expect that you have some vines which are suffering rather severely. It is gen orally advisable to keep the diseased vine as long as you can maintain a productive condition. The develop ment of new canes from below the in- fected part should be encouraged whenever possible and the diseased parts cut out and burned as rapidly as new canes can be formed. If the root is also infected you will have more trouble in protecting the vine, but it may live for a number of years in a productive condition. l would advise you to prune infected vines back rath- CT more severely than you would nor mally and l would also advise you not to permit infected vines to produce their maximum crop of fruit. Over bearing will weaken an infected vine and cause it to succumb to the dis ease more rapidly than if you thin out the fruit and get only a moderate crop.
 In pruning vines which are known to be infected you should be careful to disinfect your pruning shears after each cut. For this purpose you should use solution of corrosive sublimate, one part to a thousand. Whenever root infection is discovered the best you can do to check the development of the disease is to cut away the af- fected parts with a sharp knife or chisel and disinfect the cut surface with a solution of bluestone. Probably in most cases the disease will appear again on parts near where the gall is removed, but there is a chance of sue cess by this treatment and if the vine appears to be worth the trouble it would be we'll to make the attempt to check the development of the disease on the roots by the cutting out method.-A. w. Morrill,, State Ento- mologist.
