What has become of the old-fash- toned refined widow lady, who used to advertise in the newspapers?
 Mother can always get fathers goat by telling daughter that she hopes that if daughter ever marries she will use more Judgment than her mother did,
 woman sits down and waits for temptation to come to her. But a man |goes out and meets it half way.
 When they are first married she can't get enough love. But later on she 'ean't get enough money. An old bachelor may join in other indoor sports. But he never had the fun of sneaking upstairs to bed with his shoes in his hand. take the medicine tKe, doctor gives him
 as it is to take the advice his friends give him.
 If woman can't find anything else to worry over, the parlor curtains won't hang to suit her. man isn't a real fan until he is willing to bet that the manager of the team that whips the home team was
 out with the umpire the nigt before. | And what has become of the old fashioned milk that used to leave a grease spot when it was spilled on the floor?
 l Some married men make ideal com panions. But their wives never know anything about it.

FEEDING NEW YORK
Ny HOLLAND

the chief sheep raising states. But the experiment. has been a total failure A letter received this morning from Colo rado, which was written by one of those who shared in this experiment, reported that every one of these sheep was dead. Especial pains will be taken in New York state thoroughly to protect the sheep.
 MT. Perkins agents discovered one con- dition which seemed to him appalling They learned that in some parts of the state cows were being butchered and at the very time when they should not have been slaughtered, and that was also the case with pigs. The result is that there is rapidly diminishing supply of meat cattle and pigs in New York state and it would seem that some legislative prohibition or possibly some national con- trol is necessary to prevent the slaugh- tering of animals at least at time when they should be well cared for.
 A few days ago at the invitation of MT. Hoover, MT. Perkins visited him in Washington and they had an earnest conference, one feature of which in- vclved the best way for co-ordinating and cooperating the New York state food production and distribution with the work over which MT. Hoorer now has charge. It would not be ex7edent at this time to report in detail what these
  plies believe to be the real condition, C. what the danger is unless vigorous meas ures are taken to encourage production and to protect the consumers, as well as to secure good distribution of food supplies.
 few days ago, Mir. Perkins was ready to report that one feature of the organi- zation which he has perfected promises gratifying results in the fall and win Nt ,01x how ,aoy y1hn hnd expenses of the agents which MT. Perkins sent into certain parts of New York state with instructions to make it pos sible to secure contracts for future de- liveries of potatoes--that is to say, po- tatoes harvested in the fall. The vital feature of this undertaking was the guar antee to the farmers that their po- tatoes would be marketed under the su- pervison of MT. Perkins, at~a price which would be sure to give them a reason- able profit Now. MT. Perkins is able toN report that his commission late in the fall will be in control of at least 100000 bushels of potatoes harvested by New York farmers, and with this amtunt he will also be in position to restrain spectators from asking exhorhitant prices for potatoes.
 One hundred thousand bushels of pota- toes would if that were the exclusive supply for New York city, be far from sufficient to meet the demand. But it is the amount that will enable MT. Perkins to hold these potatoes as club with which he can prevent speculators or dealers from making what he calls "skyhigh prices" This undertaking is orly one feature of several-one of them very important that cannot yet be dis- closed-which Mir. Perkins commission is perfectng so that very acute food situation in New York city may be averted next winter.

a Birmingham paper when Sam Crane, dean of the baseball writers of the coun- try, found him and admonished him to come to New York.
 Sam was in Birmingham on spring training tour with the Giants when this historic episode came to pass, and not long afterward B. Bulger put his other shirt in reticule and journeyed north ward.
 Since then his rotund form and his Tallapoosa county accent have been part and parcel of the Polo Grounds appur- tenances. Day in and day out he has been peering through the checkerboard screen for all those years. and registering his visual impressions on the sporting page of the Evening World.
 Early in his career he committed Swat Mulllgan,' a baseball character which was to gain fame in print and on the stage. Subsequently, "Boze" wrote divers and sundry vaudeville acts, including the one in which Christy Mathewson, Chief Meyers and May Fully appeared. Also he delved into short story writing and was finding firm footing
 Now, rising 40 years of age, 'Boze" goes back to the army, and if any there be who do not think he will make a rattling good officer, nickel will win 'em a chunk of money around the press box at the F. B.
 "Boze'' comes naturally by his military proclivities. His grandfather old Mike" BuIger, was one of the last of the Con- federate generals. He was celebrated character in Alabama history, and en- listed in the lost cause when he was 6 years old
 Old Mike, had passed the century mark when he died along about 1903, and "Boze's' friends hope the major will live just as long.
 We were about to add that they hope his shadow will never grow less, but that would be a futile hope. indeed, as "Boze" had to pull off 40 pounds to pass his physical examination, and is still re- ducing. At his present rate he will soon be about the size of Rabbit" Maran- vile.
 However, it Is not hoping too much to hope that the perennial sunshine which floods his soul will never know a cloud. We trust we do not sound fulsome when we say that there are none too many like "Boze" He wears we'll He is a friendly friend. As the big leagues first .real representative in the khaki of the
 W fighting forces. the best we can
 is none too good for him.

Spray the Manure Heap.

The general use of back yards and vacant lots for kitchen gardens" said B. F. Alright, brings with It the use of stable manure. In various parts of the city are to be found heaps of refuse of that kind, back and front of resi- dence lots. As the house fly season ap- breaches this nuisance and disease breeder follows upon the manure piles Let the commissioners see that promptly every manure pile in the city shall be sprayed with kerosene The spray will not hurt the manure, but 1t will keep off the flies that otherwise must become very troublesome"

New York, June Especial )-With
 all the resources at his command, but with no real authority excepting that in-
 ferentially given to him through his po- sition as chairman of Mayor Mitchers 1 food supply committee, George w. Per
 kins is occupied day in and day out with
 service which seeks to bring to the peo- pie of New York 8 sufficient supply of ! food next fall and next winter.
 l MT. Perkins would be better fortified in l this work were the committee of which he is chairman not merely citizens 1 voluntary committee, but one over which l the state exercised control and supervi- 1 sion. Neither the state of. New York l nor, so far, Congress at Washington has seemed to realize that it is imperative that production should be greatly encour- aged, consumers protected and adequate | distribution of food supplies provided for. 1 As neither the state nor the legislative 1 bodies have so far added in this work, ] the committee of which MT Perkins is chairman apparently is compelled to rely | upon moral influence and a campaign of ] education and presumably is to finance l certain propositions now well under way. | MT. Perkins is well informed concerning
 the food supply conditions in New York l state. He does not seem to be highly encouraged at present, as he looks into 1 the future, especially at conditions likely to prevail during the winter months. He | does however, hope that the erganiza- 1 ton will soon be so perfected as to be able to secure results which will greatly l reduce, even if they do not entirely elin- mate food distress next winter.
 | The work of this organization n some | aspects is already nationwide in it's scope. MT. Perkins has caused to be pur- 1 chased on one or two of the great sheep | raising sections of the far west 9 GOO head of sheep, which, with the co-opera- l tlon of the railroads, are either now or /. soon will be on their way to Albany. At l Albany the sheep will be disembarked 1 and driven into convenient enclosures. l There the farmers of the state may go 1 and buy as many sheep as they deem it 1 wise to do, being assured that they will | be asked to pay no more for each one i than the purchase cost plus the trans- 1 portation charges
 l Not long ago New York state had a | million sheep, but the number has so | greatly diminished that there are today l only about 300,000 sheep in the state, and | there is grave danger that this number
 Will be much reduced within a year un- 1 less the floc1s are increased Legislative
 protection has been secured through tho 1 enactment of laws which will reduce the l danger of slaughter by dogs.
 | It IS, or course, an experiment, but 1 there is reasonable ground for hopins
 that it will be successful, notwithstand, l ing the experience which the state of 1 Colorado has recently met with in an at tempt to Increase upon a large scale flocks of sheep. About a year ago, pri- vate capital purchased some 10000 head i of sheep which were taken to Colorado ! ir the belief that in the uplands the l flocks would rapidly increase so that 1n l due time Colorado would become one ot

More Funds Needed

We are going to carry the Boys In- dustrial band with us to Washington de- spite the fact that there Is a deficit in the amount actually needed to take them along,' said Tom Dozier. While the people responded generously we still are shy $135 of the amount needed, which we hope to raise before time to leave. I am not unmindful of the many ap- peals that have been made recently for funds for purposes that are very worthy which have been somewhat of a task to bear by our generous hearted citi- zens.
 We hope, however that we will be able to raise the full amount by the time we leave, but whether we do or not the boys are going to the reunfon.'

Providing hlsnse. with some water from the Jordan to carry home for the christening, he at once set out for Kentucky.
 On the morning appointed for the bap- tismal ceremony he arrived at the church ahead of the rest of the family in order to hand over the precious water to the preacher. As he pulled the flask from his pocket the minister held up warn- ing hand.

Liberty Bond I'm
 Every Home Here

| 7T1 HAT is telling liberty bond 1 0 slogan that has been started bond in every home in Jefferson county! Applications are coming fast Many people in Birmingham-Gr Greater ingham-have intimated that they would buy bonds of the $500 de nomination. And not few will sub scribe for the 5000 denomination Banks and other corporations here will invest high up in the thousands But the government is especially de- sirous of seeing the small investors crowding to the front.
 It would be fine thing if 20,000,- 900 of the country's population were to buy $50 or $100 bond and leave the balance of the $2,000, ,000, ,000 issue to be bought by the great corporations and multimillionaires The fact is that the small class of investors could easily absorb the entire $2,000, ,000, ,000. All that would be needed to start such movement and carry it through would be well directed campaign of education.
 The small buyers are now taking a keen interest in the liberty bonds. Every city and town has organized for the selling. Women are not only canvassing actively, but they are sub- scribing literally. All prospective buyers-male or female e-understand the bond plan, and all realize the value, intrinsically or sentimentally, of the liberty bond issue. The $2,000,- 000,000 will be largely oversubscribed. That, of course, is as it should be. The moral effect would be splendid and far-reaching. One thing is cer- tain-Birmingham's allotment of bonds and Alabama's allotment will be largely oversubscribed.
 This is one of the times when an American would be justified in draw ing his last dollar out 1.-the bank in order, if necessary, to invest in a liberty bond. The man who strains a point to own a bond will be among the proudest men in the community.
 Don't wait. Put in your application now.

nois method of maintaining law
 and order might seem tame by
 comparison.
 So when Mayor Mollman of East
 St. Louis begs employers not to import negroes to do the work
 which white men are not doing,
 the south earnestly seconds his efforts. Let the negroes stay south or return thither and mo- body is going to shoot them up for working.
 The World describes the situation ir a nutshell. The negro has practically no competition in the south and he works under conditions most favorable to his habits and temperament. South ern people are lenient toward his fail ings and willing to extend helping hand. In the north it is a case of sur vival of the fittest and, as shown in East St. Louis, he is not always given fair chance.

Of Vital Interest
 to the Farnners

THE general letter issued two days
 4 ago by J. A. Wade, commis- sioner of agriculture and industries, should be read and carefully consid- cred by every farmer who is trying to raise cotton this year. It deals principally with the ravages of the boil weevil and tells how the pest may be defeated in it's inroads. It is of vital interest.
 MT. Wade is a successful cotton grower-one of the best farmers in all the south. He has been a prize winner for the largest yield on a given area. Some of the most en- thusiastic farmers in the state are theoretical rather than practical; but Commissioner Wade combines scien- tific knowledge with knowledge that comes. from practice. He has made special study of the boil weevil. He is qualified, therefore, to instruct his fellow farmers in the matter now of greatest concern to those who are cul- tivating the fleecy staple.
 In previous letters on how to beat the boil weevil, MT. Wade gave direc- tions which, if followed generally, would mean vast saving to Alabama. In this recent letter directions for 1 fighting the pest are even more ex- plicit. In this and other states the l cotton acreage has been materially re- duced. The crop has been damaged | by the cool weather; but if the small acreage is cultivated intensively from now on and the weevil is overcome that which is ginned will return big profit. Prices will soar.
 Commissioner Wade, after discuss
 ing the boil weevil, takes up the black
 berry question. He reports that a
 large crop is coming on. Thousands
 of gallons of these berries are al
 lowed to go to waste for lack of pick ing and canning.
 Along the line of food conservation Mir. Wade urges the children of the state to be more industrious in pick Ii ing, and the housewives to give more
