A Personal Triumph

There are many angles from which to view the first sharp conflict be- tween the chief executive of the na- tion and Congress over the proposed warning of Americans to keep off armed merchantmen of European belligerents, but one of the most en- tightening is that demonstrating the

Will Stand for No Unfairness

The Age-Herald in this issue prints several letters regarding the Rev. Dr. Durant's sermon and Father Coyle's communication in reply to it. Any man who is so narrow as to assail The Age Herald because it allows both ] sides to be heard in matters of reli- gious controversy had better read primers; also such men would do well to read St. Paul's epistle to the Corin- thians on charity.
 Dr. Durant's discourse, entitled, "Americanism vs. Romanism," de- livered in the Baptist church at Pratt City, of which he is pastor, was printed in full in Mondays issue, and, in that connection, The Age-Herald printed his letter in answer to Father Coyle's, which had appeared in these columns the week before.
 The Age-Herald is not only news paper, but it's columns have always been open to those who wished to ex- press their views on questions of gen. eral interest. It is recognized from one end of Alabama to the other as the peoples forum.
 But The Age-Herald will stand for no unfairness, either in church mat ters or in other matters of public mo- ment or public policy. It prints the views of all sides alike. when the cards are expressed in. parliamentary language and signed by responsible persons. But it has no patience with any set of minded people of whatever denomination or creed they may be, who accuse a newspaper of being controlled by one church be- cause it gives that church the same fair treatment it accords to others. As matter of fact The Age Herald belongs to no creed or denomination. It prints a prayer every morning and a sermon every Sunday, written by an absolutely independent minister of the gospel, who believes in the teach ings of Christ and who believes that everyone who believes in the teach. ings of Jesus Christ and who desires to be better man or a better woman 1 is far better and far more deserving to enter the Kingdom of Heaven thar a minister or layman who abuses the religion of another man and wants 1 to send him to hell because this mar might not agree with the beliefs ol some egotistical, bigoted and domi neering minister of the gospel wht has indulged in "salt horse" an( patent medicines so long that his di gestion is deranged and his mine works in the zigzags of lightning flash.
 And if I have the gift of proph ecy," says St. Paul, land know al mysteries and all knowledge; and i. I have all faith, so as to remove noun tains, but have not charity, I an nothing"
 Some men well versed in scripture can repeat from memory the entir' thirteenth chapter of First Corin thians, but in their bilious moods the, forget all about charity and becom sounding brass and a changing cymbal" In this enlightened az, bigotry should be practically un known, but, unfortunately, bigot there are in nearly every land an' will be, no doubt, until the millennium dawns.
 1 Be that as it may, there is no ex cuse, even allowing for the weakness of human nature, for calumnies O hasty assumptions derogatory to one' fellow man.

1 Troy Messenger: A revised version
 runs like this: Uneasy rests the head of
 the President of Mexico"
 1 Opelika News: It is said by those who are in position to judge of such things that Lee county has the very best road law of any county in the state. It is also
 certain that it will not be long until the
 people of the county will begin to reap great benefits from the operation of that law.
 Double Springs Herald: Licenses have | been paid on 2O35 dogs in Lawrence county. Foxhounds are the most numer-
 GUS. It is reported that one old hunter
 likes the music of his foxhounds so well that rather than give them up he paid licenses on Il. Next to the foxhound the
 bird dog seems to be the favorite. Eufaula Citizen: When Superintendent Feagin succeeded in having passed the
 new law with respect to the county boards of education, he did an excellent thing. He should also have had one
 passed making the board of education of the larger towns elective by the peo- pie instead of by the city councils of the various towns. A board of education should have equal authority, along it's own lines with the city council, and
 not subject to them in any way. It
 should be a distinct and independent
 body with its own funds and only amen- able to the will of the people themselves, and that directly.
 Mobile Item: It is regrettable that the people, not only of Mobile, but of the country generally, as a rule, fail to pay the respect to the national anthem 1t deserves. In other countries to bare the head and stand when the national anthem is rendered is almost a spontan- eous action on the part of the people. In thus paying tribute to the nation the people do not pay it to the governing power, as some would infer. This is not a monarchy, and it is not compulsory to pay a tribute of respect to the flag or the national anthem. But it is pa triotic act nevertheless. It was notice- able in Bienville square Sunday evening, as Governor Henderson turned on the lights and Old Glory was seen waving amid the branches of the stately oaks, that the populace neither uncovered to the flag nor did many remove their hats as the Auburn band played the na- tional anthem.

HAROLD BROWN In
Pig Competition
SAJJK CENTRE LAD AWARDED
FOURTH PLACE IN STATE
WIDE CONTEST
first ENTRY FROM STEARNS
SHOWING OF LOCAL YOUTHS Is
CONSIDERED REMARKABLE BY
OLDER PIG RAISERS

Harold Brown of Sank Centre
stands fourth among the boy pig
raisers of Minnesota. He attained the
distinction last week at the state
Fair when the pig he exhibited at the
state show was awarded fourth hon
ors in the lard type class. Young
Brown raised the porker under the
ewes of Prof. o. E. Stephl, superln-
tendent of agricultural instruction IN
the Sank Centre public schools, IN the
Stearns county contest. Other local
exhibitors received honorable men
ton. Sank Centre boys and girls en-
tered into the state contest 1or Ille
first time this year and Mr.. Stephi
speaks of their efforts as follows:
add state fair wins
"The first pig growing contest un-
der the direction of the High
School and the Extension Division Oh
the University Farm, st. Paul, has
been a great success. Twelve COM
nlete records have been sent in and
there are still number to be heard
from. Interest has spread and we eX-
pect still larger and more hotly con-
tested contest next year.
"The object of this pig growing
contest is to get farm boys and girls
interested in swine production and to
teach them how to raise better and
cheaper hogs. This years pig boys
have made many mistakes, but have
profted thereby and will go into the
contest next year better prepared.
Besides this, the boys have all made a
profit on their products. A record ct
ell the feed was kept. The boys will
paw for this feed out of the proceeds
Of the hog and pocket the difference.
Such work causes boys and girls to
take a greater interest in farm life.
"Bruce and Alan Wilcox were so in
terested in their pig that the scales
were kept in the pig pen throughout
the contest and the pigs gain noted
from day to day. Leon Ingram de-
cided that flies were not helping his
pig put on pork so he placed a fly
trap in the pig pen. In each case
where the pig was one out of litter
owned by the father, the boys pig was
the largest. The boys learned the eff
feet of type, feed and pasture on the
rate of gain.
The best looking pig from each of
the counties in the State were sent
to the State fair at st. Paul to COM
pete for the State prize. Prizes were
offered for the best type of bacon and
the best type of lard hog. We sent
Harold Browns and Roger Hutche-
sens pigs to the fair to compete for
these prizes. The other boys are en-
titled to show their pigs at the big
Stearns County fair. Cash prizes will
be offered.
Harold Browns pig was the heavi-
est of the bunch and made the great
est gain. This pig weighed 70 lbs. on
May 10 and was ten weeks old. On
August 80, he weighed 2S0 lbs, gain
