to make clean sweep, and by statu- tory enactment deprive all consumers of whatever solace they may derive from tobacco.
 Treating the subject in humorous vein, the New York Times discusses the possibility of law being enacted by Congress to prohibit any sort of tobacco advertising being carried in the mails. The Chattanooga Times says: Preliminary workers having no other visible means of support are al- ready in the fil u, employed by the anti-tobacco propagandists, and are busy gathering sympathizers among those who are never quite satisfied with the conduct and habits of their neighbors."

HOTEL LOBBTES
Alabama Women Boost state

The people of Alabama should be proud of two of their women citizens Mrs. Thomas M. owen of Montgomery and Mrs G. H. Mathis of Gadsden," said A. R. Fennell of New York city. These two women can command more confer ences and more time of northern capi- talists than any two representatives from the south who ever sat foot in the metropolis.
 Mrs. Owen is chairman of the country life committee of the National Civic fed eration, position which places her in the limelight with all great thinkers of the nation. Mrs. Mathis is already a national figure both on the speaking platform and as an expert on farm work in the south.
 These two women are working hard to induce capitalists to turn their purses loose in Alabama and the south, and have recently been in conference with some of the largest banking institutions in New York looking to this end. The two Ala bama boosters are due back home this week."

From Padraic Colum's wild Earth and
 Other Poems" (aolt). b. to have little housei To own the hearth and stool and all; The heaped-up sods upon the fire, The pile of turf against the wall! To have a clock with weights and chains And pendulum swinging up and down. A dresser filled with shining delph, Speckled and white and blue and brown! I could be busy all the day Clearing and sweeping hearth and floor. And fixing on their shelf again My white and blue and specled store! I counld be quiet there at night Beside the fire and by myself. Sure of a bed and 10th to leave The ticking clock and the shining delphi Och! but I'm weary of mist and dark. And roads>swhere there's never house
 nor bush,
 And tired am of bog and road, And the crying wind and the lonesome hush! And I am praying to God on high. And I am praying Him night and day, For little. house-a house of my own Out of the winds and the rsin's way.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED

From the New York Mail.
 Ordinary concerts have grown rather stale in Middleton, where everybody sings or thinks he can.
 So novelty was arranged, in which each performer was to appear in fancy dress and sing a suitable song. The first items went off very we'll. al- though when Miss Antike came on in a simple. girlish gown and sang For ever and Forever" the audience got nervous and thought she meant to do SO.
 Then the village crier appeared in sailor rig and acclaimed Asleep in the Deep" in voice high h-pitched and cracked.
 "Who is he?" What character does he represent?" were the questions the listeners asked each other wildly. The came the usual voice from the rear of the hall saying: "Why, he's Sing Bad, the Sailor"

MONSIEUR LIE MARECHAl,

marechaux de rEmpire. and now again have become. in the person of le Marechal Joffre, once again marechaux de France.
 Was there not Turenne, the man who was astonished when he heard Crom- wells redcoats cheering as they went for ward against the battalions of his great rival, Condo and Condo himself, who flung the 20 inches of blue velvet tipped with gold. far into the enemy's line at Fribourg. bidding his soldiers follow him in the recovery of it. Then there was vauban, the engineer who built those rock galleries at verdun, which have defied the German artillery of today, when modern Qualifications have been crum- pied up like pie crust; wonderful man this vauban, truly not only great sol dier, but. in the very atmosphere of the Oeil-de-Boeuf, a politician abreast of the ideals of today. A fellow soldier of Vauban was the terrible little due de Luxemburs, the immediate predecessor of the four marshals who fell in turn before tho invincibleG "AIaIbroob." And after them, Maurice de saxe, the gen. eral who travelled with his camp theat- Ire and opera troupe. his valets de cham bre and maitres d'hotel. And besides this Pole were there not, in the service of the well beloved the Englishman, Ber- wick, and the German, Lowendahl?
 But, of course, the great moment of the marshals was the moment of the first empire. That was the hour of Ney and Massena, of Augereau and Lannes, Of Davoust and Soult, and half a score of others, of whom perhaps the least known was Monocy, the only marshal ever deprived of his baton. and deprived of that because. at the command of Louis, he refused to preside over the courtmartial on Michel Ney. And now the Kingdom and the empire have given place to the republic. and there comes the first of the republics marshals, the three hundred and twenty-fifth of the marechaux de France. Monsieur le Mare chal Joffre.

of elementary and high schools was 503, ,1o2, or GA per cent of the total school population.
 In concluding his report MT. Feagin says that matter which will call for serious consideration and wise plan ming is the compulsory attendance statute, becoming effective October l, 1917. "This measure" he remarks, "is reasonably mild; the compulsory period is comparatively short; the age limit reasonable; the exceptions sen sible, and the machinery not too com- plex. Now that the measure is law and it's wisdom has been attested by the experience of every country of any prominence in the world and by every state in this union, with the exception of one, there can be no excuse for passivity in it's enforcement in Ala bama."
 The one exception is Mississippi, and it is understood that she will soon get into line touching this vital ques- tion-compulsory school attendance.
 Since Alabama is about to take her place among the most ambitious com- monwealths in educational activities it behooves public spirited citizens to come forward ready to cooperate eagerly in every endeavor for cultural progress.

County Raising Hogs

The county has entered into the busi- ness of hog raising that has been urged as a means of enriching the farmers of the state.
 Jefferson county has made nice start in the business of hog raising" said R. A. Lewis of the Alabama Packing com pany. Recently. the board of revenue sold six hogs raised at the county farm at Dolcito for s200. The animals were large and naturally brought a very nice price.
 The movement seeking to have the Alabama farmers raise more cattle is do- ing good. Around Greensboro and that section, the people are devoting more at- tention than ever to this industry"
