Those who have thus far failed to vote
in vermont's primary still have few
hours left in which to do their duty
that is. few hours after this paper
comes off the press with this warning.
They ought to go and do it without FUR,
Their delay.

THE MONEY THEY CARRY.
Poor Men, as Rule, Have More In
Their Pockets Than Rich Men.

Their Pockets Than Rich Men.
The next time you meet John ID.
Rockefeller just ask him how much
money he has In his pocket Ask him
how much he hes in the safe al his
house or in the safe deposit box at his
bank-I mean real, old fashioned bank
notes and dollar bills. Let me tell you
that If at this very moment you and
John D. Rockefeller should swap peck
etbooks you would likely get stung
Mr.. Rockefeller probably has not
cent more of real money in his pocket
today than you have. In general
way this applies to all peoples all
over the world In many communities
the workpeople carry more money
about with them than the rich.
well remember that once, at my
summer home on the coast of Massa-
chusetts. where real money Is scarcer
than fresh eggs. a very rich man VINO
was visiting us asked me to cash
check for him as he was leaving for
New York. On looking into his peck
etbook he discovered he had only
SI.13! Well. | was even worse on,
having only a FIVE dollar bill and a
few pennies Even Mrs. Babson could
dig up only a few dollars, as we have
everything charged and pay by check.
We were just on the point of break
ing open a chIld's bank when paint
er working about the house overheard
the conversation and suggested that
perhaps he could cash a check for $50!
This workman had on him roll or
several hundred dollars in bills.-Rog-

The Army Bills

''The Mexican situation is having, as might have been expected speeding up effect on Congress- said c. F. Cunningham of Chicago, retired member of the Illinois National Guard. Tt seems to be the impression in Washington that the two military bills Senate and House-will get before a joint conference committee for adjust ment within the next three weeks and that legislation on this part of the preparedness programme will be ac- complished before the end of April
 '"The Senate bill calls for much larger increase in the United States army than does the House bill and I am inclined to think that the regular establishment will have not less than 100000 enlisted men.
 T feel much interest in the Na- tional Guard liberalization project. If it Is adopted, and there now seems to be little doubt about it, this coun- try will have adequate national de- fense so far as the military branch goes.p

The South's Agricultural Advance

The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec ord of this week has for the subject of its feature" article, "The Amazing Agricultural Advance of the South," in which the governments crop statis- tics are digested and presented in con- crete form.
 The agricultural resources and the accumulated wealth of the middle west and the northwest have been 50 much exploited in recent years that the value of the south's crops has been overlooked by the average observer of national progress. Of the enormous gain in 1915 in the value of all farm crops in the United States over 1914, amounting to $426,O7O, ,OOO, little over 60 per cent was in the south.
 -"An amazing illustration" as the Manufacturers Record remarks, "of the increase in the diversification of southern agriculture" The percentage Of increase for the south for 1915 over 1914 was nearly IA per cent, or, to be exact, 1885 per cent, while the total of increase for the rest of the country was only 5.25 per cent.
 Diversification is indeed doing won- ders for the south, for, though last years cotton crop was small and prices lower than for some years prior e the European war, the value of firm products in the section south of tho Mason and Dixon line was $153,- oco, o,Q00 greater than the average

Lun in Republican Polite.

A month ago we heard great deal about the republican and progressive con- ventions to meet on the same daytime 7-in Chicago, but there is Hull now and this will probably continue until several of the states elect delegates" said $. F.. Thurston of Philadelphia, who is return ing home from New Orleans, where he went for Mardi Gras.
 T have always called myself a re- publican, but I voted for Roosevelt in 1912 and hope to have a chance to vote for him again this year.
 T believe he will be nominated by both conventions, but every now and then someone tells me that a stand-pat re- publican-Associate Justice Hughes, pre- sumably-wll be brought out as a dark horse It would be serious mistake for the republicans to nominate any other than Roosevelt. I think it is safe to say that 95 per cent of the old republican vote would go to Roosevelt, and, of course, he would get the solid progressive vote
 "If the republicans turn down Roose- welt, the democrats would have as easy a victory as they had four years ago."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-18

value for the five-year period from 1909 to 1913, inclusive.
 In 1909 the value of Alabama's crops totaled $144, ,2S7 ,OOO and in 1915 $160,371 ,000. In only four southern states did the total crop value last year exceed that of Alabama. The value of the Texas crop was $407,- O00,000; that of Missouri, $251, ,51S,- 000; that of Georgia, $233,506, ,000, and that of North Carolina, $202, ,079,- 900.
 The south's crop statistics, as com piled by the government, are highly encouraging and the incentive to do better this year will not lose it's force. The banker and the merchant are CO., operating heartily with the farmer in the crop diversification movement, and if the farmers of the south will continue for one or two years more to give their attention to food crops, "this section," as the Manufacturers Record says, twill forever get be- yond the one-crop system, which for merly prevailed" and that will make a new era in the south's advance, whose significance cannot be overesti- mated

HOTEL LOBBIES
Candidate for Delegate

T expect to sbe cue of the two dele gates from the Eighth district to the democratic national convention" said Henry Bradshaw of Florence, member of the legislature from Lauderdale county, who was at the Tutwiler last night. There are five running for the two places from our district
 T not only believe like all the oth- CT announced candidates, that President Wilson will be and should be renomi- mated. but I am heartily in favor of incorporating into the platform of the party the blanks he recommends and leaving out those he does not desire Since he is to be the candidate of the party we should allow him to choose the ground upon which he is to fight"

A PASSING ART

From the Cincinnati Times Star.
 In an amusing article a correspondent of the London Times discusses the ques- tion of answering letters. He evidently has little patience with the man who re- ceives a letter and mails his answer on the rebound. There are joys and adven- lures in the life of the leisurely corre- spondent that are denied the progressive gentleman whose epistles begin with the formula. Yours of Sth inst. received and contents noted and would say, etc. If a letter writer would have his reply something more than an echo, he must take time to ponder that his niissive may acquire the dignity of epistoIary. ltera- ture.
 There is no question that letter writing has fallen from it's high estate. Of course, increased facility of travel and the tele- graph and telephone have played their part. But a great contributing cause is the contemporary custom answering letters upon the day ofNtheir receipt. We dash off reply and regard the incident as closed. Instead of the fat envelopes of our forefathers, our mall consists of lean and attenuated messages. We have not the time. and as result the confi- dences and original views that formerly added much to life have been succeeded by mere epistolary salutations, boiled down letter writing with most of the flavor lost in the process.

WHAT IS A ABOCHEsv
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 One who reads all the war news these days is doing considerable reading; but there still remains a considerable number of people who read not only the actual news from the various fronts but also the large amount of impressions" and fiction already engendered by the world strug gle. And such readers are constantly coming across the word "boche,p and none of them knows what it means.
 The French soldiers call the Germans ''boches.' This appears to be regarded as an extremely offensive appellation, especially by the French themselves For though a Frenchman may call German boche without serious consequences. he may not apply the word to another Frenchman without a fight or a lawsuit The word has been figuring in French law courts for more than a year now If man proves that another man called him boche, he gets stiff fine, several days Imprisonment, or both. One man recovered 2000 francs damages from nine women who called him that.
 But what does it mean? It isn't in the Erencn QlctlOndr1eS. IL IS not elyluO- logically connected with ''bosh,' "busher" or "kibosh." Some think that it is cor cuption of the French 'caboche,'' which means numskull, an ignoramus g bone head. It hardly seems likely. For one thing the French have no excuse for applying such a term to their apparently clever enemies; for another thing, the courts do not take cognizance of such mild insults as being fighting words" This said a Parsian judge, recently, lis the most offensive term that can be applied to a person.
 What is this word that is applied by wholesale to brave German soldiers, and by retail to persons whom Frenchmen wish to insult in the most deadly man. ner? A lot of race psychology and no lit tie illumination will be contained in the proper answer to this question.

Happy Affair

"The luncheon at the Tutwiler, complimentary to MT. Liebling, editor of the Musical Courier, was a happy affair" said Frederick Gunster, chair man of the Chamber of Commerce mu- sic committee. "The distinguished wis., itor is not only brilliant and en- tertaining tallxer but he is a charming gentleman socially.
 The luncheon was arranged on comparatively short notice by a conn mittee headed by Mrs c. J. Sharp, but it was a notable success from every point of view, and it has brought the musical set and representative busi- ness men together into closer rela- tionship, which means much for the progress of musical art in Birming- ham,"
