SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Of Mrs. Chappell, of Five Years

Mt. Airy, N. C.-Mrs. Sarah M. Chap pell of this town, says: "l suffered for five years with womanly troubles, also stomach troubles, and my punishment was more than any one could tell.

 My friends began asking me why I looked so we'll, and l told them about Cardui. Several are now taking it."

The above slogan is recommended to
the republican party of Ohio and the
nation by Hon. Harry VI. Daugherty
Of Cilumbus, in speech before a
Columbus Republican club. If there
ever was man who ought to be list
cned to at this crisis in American af-
fairs, it is Harry Daugherty. 1t was
ralter in the memorable campaign Of
1912, when the party was split by
Misunderstanding and it was he who
said: LET US incorporate all Of
these things which have made the re-
publican party the real party Of pro-
gress for fifty years and stand or fall
by the decision" The party went
down to defeat in 1912, but out Of
that defeat has come uniting Of all
factions for the very principles which
have made this nation in a little more
than hundred years, the greatest
government for all men in the his
tory Of the world.
As Mr. Daugherty says. the issue in
1916 will not be STAND by the Presi-
dent" but it will be "Stand by the
Country" Even while the democratic
press Of the country is crying aloud
that business is on the increase and
that times are going to be good,
they know that what business is on
the increase is business purchased by
the human gore on the battlofelds Of
Europe. They know that the bust
ness increase is in the sale Of shrapnel
to kill human beings. Take away
this trade from the United States,
and the smoke stacks of the big steel
corporations will resemble the smoke
stacks of the small factories Of the
country.
This war will not last forever and
when it is over and Europe must
pay off her debt and men and women
and children work for little of moth
ing, how is the American government
going to compete on a free trade,
South made tariff law? What the
country needs today is not a lot of
laws and a lot of theorists, but it
needs a lot Of fellows with the back
bone like Harry Daugherty to the
front. We need Bread, Butter and
Business" Ohio State Journal

There will be 30 days in June as
usual, 10 for the democrats and 10 for
the republicans, or 10 for each party
il the progressives are going to pu'
up a ticket We will be at perihclion
with Villa on the 10th, when we shall
get within 2O6 miles Of him. The
moon will be full on the 18th Their,
will not be an eclipse during the
month. Those we have been having
have had no effect on the war situa-
ton either in Europe or Mexico, and
we will quit wasting them for awhile.
The Summer Solstice will come on the
2lst, when the sun will enter the
constellation of Cancer. This will be
the most terrifying astronomical dem
onstration Of the year, and the next
day Mr.. Rockefeller will put down
the price of gasoline about 8 cents.
On June > Mercury will join Venus
what can be done about making peo-
pie realize the state of our unpre-
paredness, while Mars and Saturn
will continue as evening stars after
that date and try to do the work
which they formerly did with Mer-
cury's assistance. The first 20 days
Of June will be under the influence Of
Leo the Lion, the third sign Of the
zodiac. Persons born in this period
are very brave, and want the japanese
or somebody Of that sort to start
something. The last 10 days Of the
month will be under the influence Of
Libra the Scales, the fourth sign of
the zodiac Persons born under this
influence know how to weigh the is
sues Of the campaign, and they will
be able to tell us what the different
candidates are running about.
And then July will come again
With great things in ascendance,
And Uncle Sam and all his men
Will cheer for independence.

Tagore as a Romanticist
From an Article on Rabindranath Tago

From an ArIlCl6 OH 1dSCIo
 by Paul F. More in the Nation.
 No; MT. Tagore is nice and he is pretty, but he has no more relation. in essential matters, to the great and grave faith of old than has M. Maeterlinck or Fiona Macleod or Mir. w. B. Yeats or any other of the nice and pretty writers wno have been filling our western world with saccharine imitation of mysticism. It is in fact, most significant that Tagore's first volume was introduced to us with a preface by MT. Yeats. These poems are dear to that haunter of paradise of bloodless4 houris because. as he says, ..lovers, while they await one another, shall find in murmuring them. this love of God magic gulf wherein their own more bitter passion may bathe and renew it's youth;" MT. Tagore is precious be- cause he 'has been content to discover the soul and surrender himself to its spcntaneity." But the commentators of MT. Yeats were scarcely needed to point to the real affinity of these bubbles from the Orient They are, in fact, no more than a part of the belated, and, since the war, generally reprobated wave of neo- Romanticism which has been seeking for inspiration in the spontaneity of vague yearnings for truth in the glamour of illusons, for strength in the repuda- ton of discipline for the dust of victory in the perfume of promise, for duty in costless sympathy for religious charity in a denial of mans responsibility for spirituality in pretended innocence. for God in the self-indulgence of sentiment.

FATHER COYLE MAKES REPLY TO
 SIDNEY J. CATTS

To the Editor of The Age-HeraId
 Not all the fun in your columns is to be found in Paul Cooks "Adrift With the Times Occasionally some amazing and amusing flights of fancy find their way into other and more sober depart ments. This mornings issue was espe- cially provocative of the risibles. Your double report in extenso of the Rev Mir Catts Ca name to conjure with) lecture will, doubt not, amaze and amuse many as it has amazed and amused me It is always amusing to be told what terrible traitors we are and to see certain gen. tlemen of the type that engineered the Rev Cats rodomontade, froth and fume and fIuster at ghosts and phantoms Of their own creation. It is amazing to find a. clean family paper give such undue prominence to stufr that reflects on the candor and honesty of many of it's read CTS; stuff that has heretofore found place and space only in the malodorous gutter till today in the pages of any Alabama newspaper of standing.
 Oh, we Catholics, what frlghtfuI mon strous traitors we are, to be sure What furtive, deep dyed, deadly, diabolical damnable plotters against America, the land we profess to love. How skillfully have we not in all the years of her his- tory dissembled that love. True, when England and her red savages and her Hessians were harassng the revolutionary fathers, we were under him:
 Freedoms champion, one of those
 The few in number, who had not o erstept The charter to chastise which she bestows On such as wield her weapons, he had
 kept
 The whiteness of his soul, and thus men
 OCT him wept"
 And not alone in the armies of the Father of the Country, but on the seas, an O'Brien and a saucy Jack Barry har- assed England, all the time traitors. And traitors we have been, when we donneG the blue and the gray and fought each other in the armies of the north and the south, in the days that tried mems souls.
 Today, too, we are traitors, dressed in khaki down by the Rio Grande. Why we would be better employed, would be truer Americans, and guardians of liberty, if we remained at home, watching the dire nachinations of white capper Sisters of Charity or dark robed Sisters of Mercy, What! Frankly, MT Editor, is not the whole thing tommyrot, pace the reverend doctors of divinity and the honorable ad- vertising medical doctors, and the modest politicians and the cheering comrades" who disported themselves so blithely last

PULLMAN COUNTY SETS THE PACE IN FARMING INDUSTRY Land of Strawberries and Cream Justly Famous for
 Achievements FARMERS THIS YEAR
 VERY PROSPEROUS Advance in Farm Land Values Indicate What Has Been Ac-
 complisher Since Settlers
 Located There
By CLARENCE c. THOMSON

Cullman, December 14-(Special.) "The Land of Strawberries and Cream is the caption of a booklet published by the CuIlman Chamber of Commerce. This phrase is used as slogan for this section of the state to show the wonderful progress that has been made in an agricultural way.
 There are many things around Gull man and in Cullman county that are impressive and show the progressive spirit of the people who have made this county one of the wealthiest in the union. In fact, Cullman county ranks second of all counties in the United States in the matter of per capita wealth. This is due to the thriftiness of the people who settled the county years ago-mostly immi- grants. Taking land that other people thought worthless and too poor to grow peas, these people have shown the world what can be done on Alabama soil
 Cullman county was formed from portions of adjoining counties in Feb ruary of 1877. It has an area of 800 of the most productive land in the state.
 The wealth and growth of this coun-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-12-15

ty is considered one of the most inn portant features. Having sprung from a handful of old settlers and a car- load of immigrants, the population of the county is now more than 30,000, or which approximately $500 are resi- dents of Cullman, the county seat.
 ADVANCE IN VALUES
 Some idea of the rapid advance in land valuation and wealth of the county may be had from the following figures on comparative tax valuations: In 1876 the total tax valuation was but $200,000; in 1890 it had increased to $1,392,30 and in 1901 to S2,622,976 while in 1910 it had advanced to s6,- 000,000. The interesting part of these figures is the fact that the tax valu- ation is only 40 per cent of the real value of the property.
 Diversified farming probably is fol- lowed more systematically in this county than in any other county in the state, or probably in the south This is considered one of the secrets of the county's per capita wealth.
 Vegetables of almost every known variety grow in this soil. Beginning with the first spring crop of straw berries, the farmers have a continual income from the truck line. Believing in cooperation, the farmers of this county, who are near enough to mar ket have banded together into ship ping associations. There are a num- Der of these associations that ship their produce in lots to the various markets. The excellent climate and

The Colonial Hvphen

In the first of q series of articles dealing with immigration in the light of history, Prof Max Farrand of Yale writes in the New Republic about the German immigration of the eighteenth century:
 So great and so important was this immigration that later German writers nave ikened it to the pouring of the Teutonic hosts into the Roman en- pire in the early centuries of our era and they have called this new invasion 'dle moderne Volkenwanderung. AL though they scattered through the other colonies. Pennsylvania proved to be the strongest lodestone, and more Germans entered Pennsylvania than any of the other colonies, and perhaps more entered there than into all of the other colonies together. Their num- bers were so large that in 41727 the provincial council of Pennsylvania or dered masters of vessels to furnish lists of Germans and other foreigners whom they might bring in, and they required these foreigners on arrival to take an oath of allegiance to the King of Great Britain.
 Upon the basis of these ship mas ters' lists it is possible to estimate that the German immigration into Penn sylvania from 1727 to 1775 must have amounted to approximately 70,000 Accustomed as we are to dealing in millions, these figures at first seem contemptibly small, but it must be re- membered that in TYPO the population of Pennsylvania numbered only a lit- tie over 10000 and was doubling about every 20 years. In such a small popu- lation it will be appreciated that it was a serious matter when the imnli- grants of one nationality amounted to 1400 a year"

FORMER ANN|STON MAN TELLS OF HIS
 LIFE IN MEXICO
w. T. Ham, RaiIrOader Be- yond Border, Describes COnditions-Says Villa
 Is National Hero

Anniston, December 14.-W. T. Ham, former Annistonian who was recent ly called back to this city on account of the critical illness of his aunt Mrs. Addie Weaver, matron of the Young Woman's Christian association, has given 8 graphic description of condi- tions as they are today in Mexico, where he has been employed for some time as conductor on a branch of the Southern Pacific railroad running be- tween Nogales and Guaymas.
 MT. Ham told of a historical inci- dent in the diplomatic relations be- tween the United States and Mexico that had been hitherto remained un- written. He was captured with five other Americans and AZ Mexicans dur ing the battle of Imuris, July 28, 1915, by troops under Governor Maytorena, who ordered the prisoners killed as an example to others running trains to aid Maytorena's enemies. Colonel Car Chief, was in charge of the detail to look after the execution and he or dered the Americans to dig their own graves. One of the prisoners managed to escape to Nogales and reported the dangers of his companions. The news was flashed to Washington, and the or der came back, "pronto," as MT. Ham says, ordering their release.
 During the time men were prisoners they lived on acrons and green corn, which was just as good food as the sol- diers had, MT. Ham said.
 ''The people of Mexico are tired of guessing about the future, MT. Ham said. President Cararnza is a fine man intellectually, and would have long ago complied with the demands of the United States government had he not feared for his life. Had he compiled with them he would have been dealt with severely. Villa is the greatest popular idol in Mexico today"
 Annistonians have received invita- tions to the golden wedding aniver- sary celebration to be given at the home of MT. and Mrs. Horace L. Stew enson of Jacksonville on Tuesday, De- cember 19, from to o'clock. and it is likely that a large number of persons will attend from this city,
 Colonel Stevenson is commander of the northeast Alabama Confederate Veterans association and has been mayor of Jacksonville so often that he cannot recall the exact number of terms he has served. He is one of the best known citizens of the county and is popularly referred to as Jackson ville's Grand Old Man"
 Guy Willis, who has been cashier for Armour 6 Co. in this city for the past six years, and who has been associated with the big meat company for 10 years, Is leaving today for Gadsden,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-12-15

where he will be officially associated with the Etowah Trust and Savings bank in future.
 Mir. Willis will be succeeded here by Samuel A. Gilbert of Bessemer.
 Will Statum, a negro who says he is from Atlanta, was arrested last night by Lon Phillips, chief of police, and is being held in the city jail on the seri- ous charge of highway robbery and as- sault.
 Cleve Phillips, Ernest Cook and elf Moody were tried in the police court this morning on the charge of stealing stockings from the Anniston knitting mills. Phillips admitted stealing about six pair; Moody admitted taking two pair. and Cook said he had only taken one. They were fined.
