President Thach reviewed briefly the growth of the Alabama Educational asso- citation from it's formtaion 35 years ago by about 80 teachers and educators, to the present time, when probably TOGO men and women were affiliated with the organiza- ticn.

 Now. every effect must have a eause things do not merely happen" said Dr. Thach. "Wherefore this mighty metamorphosis-7this mighty creation of wealth--this production of values? Not, I say, by chance. nor by ignorance, nor by common sense alone; but by education, by mental training, by the magic of that peculiar form of power which has been developed within the last half a century-the power of the natural sciences; and. as stated, it is this form of education that wish to discuss briefly this afternoon.

KELTON

kelton, Dec. 18.-Rain, sleet and
snow today. guess we will have
plenty of bad weather now after so
long spell of fine weather. Usually
one extreme follows another.
The farmers are through gathering
their short crop and the cotton is
about all sold, so if the price of cotton
continues to go down it will not hurt
the small farmers. 1t might be a
blessing if cotton would go to ten or
twelve cents and stay there until
planting time is past, for if it had
held to the 20 cent mark everything
would be planted in cotton. On the
Ridge the acreage planted in small
grain is very small, although we have
had fine weather for sowing. I heard
one of Union county's biggest farmers
telling one of his hands to be sure to
plant big crop in cotton next year
as 1T would be good price and at
the time he well knew that the size
Of any crop will govern the price of
it. I believe the best plan is for
every farmer to insist on planting all
their land next year in cotton for the
reason that where one advocates di-
versifying and to plant less cotton two
will say now is the time for us to
increase as the other fellow is going
to cut his acreage.

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Dec. 18.-We
have had some snow today, and it is
very cold. 1t looks like now that the
beautiful weather has come to an end.
Well, it is very natural for us all to
talk about the changes of the weather,
but now it is in it's season. December
and January are likely to be cold, for
they are two of our winter months
and we may expect some bad weather.
BY the time this letter is seen in
print Christmas will be here, a time
that everyone is looking forward to
for time of recreation and pleasure,
but, my friends, Christmas is what we
make it. So is life. Now, of course,
| am always glad to see this time
and we should all enjoy it in the right
way and in the right spirit. This
time of the year always takes me
back to scenes of my childhood days.
Oh, my friends, listen! Those days
are passed forever, but l can look
back in imagination and see the old
home; can remember the little stock
ings hung up by the fireplace for
Santa Claus to come by and put some
thing in our stockings for us. Those
are happy by-gone days, but since that
time there has been many sweets and.
bitters. Now my thoughts are many
on this subject and l could write on
and on for it does me good to think
of those days when l was a boy.
never thought of responsibility. Faith
er and mother had the cares and trials
of life on their shoulders, but it was
only in after years that I realized that
there were cares and trials and re-
sponsibility resting on me. How many
of us have given these things
thought. Now at Christmas time we
had better stop and think how we
should spend the week. 1 will say
with this thrown out to those who
might take his jug or bottle for his
part of the fun, be careful and don't
take too much of that fatal stuff.
say this knowing that there will be
some who will take their Christmas
that way. Stop and think before you
spend your money that way. While
you might think at that time that is
your pleasure but again that might be
the bittereSt curse to you and it might
spoil your pleasure.
This writer has been invited to sew
eral places of gathering and amuse-
ment, which conflict with each other,

cite the invitation just the same. I
am glad have many good friends

'Lincoln made poor figure: he rode

age Of "a years, for misers, whether Of

Gus peer" was Hubert George de

him the marquisate becomes extinct

to Regents park. There, on a public
seat, not one of the chairs, for which
he would have been charged q small

Of revolution was gathering in increas-

The revolt broke out in December,
1915, when the president announced
the intention Of establishing mon

early in this year but was postponed
owing to the extraordinary rapidtty
with which the revolt extended thru

The esta blishment of a monarchy
was strenuously opposed by Japan and
the final abandonment Of the plan was
credited to the representations made

The revolt progressed, however, and
in March the governors of the Chinese

Of the president. In May the provinces
Of Shansi and Shantung announced
their independence and a provincial

Eir,t Armorad Shin.

Many people imagine that the first
armored ship was the ''iron- cased
frigate" Gloire, launched for the
French navy in 1857; yet according
to the Popular Science Monthly, the
Dutch built an armor-plated vessel
nearly $50 years earlier. That was in
1885, when Antwerp was besieged by
the Spaniards. The Dutch took one
Of their biggest ships, cut it down and
erected on the deck battery with
armored and sloping sides. within
which they mounted eight Of the
heaviest guns the factories Of the day
could produce. The roof Of the bat
terry formed an armored breastwork
for men armed with crossbows aud
shotguns. and there were gratings in
the roof to provide ventilation for the
battery below The ship bore strik-
ing resemblance to the Merrimac Of
the civil war, which was designed and
built on precisely the same principles.
