IMpUDENCE OF AMERICANS

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The American, taking him by and large, has the best sense of humor. His humor at times is impudent, if not disrespectful but none the less 1t is humor This much Is said notwith- standing that any Introduction or rec ommendation of an individual bit of humor usually detracts from the charm of the exhibit.
 The following news dispatch ilius- trates the democratic freedom with which your typical American ad- dresses high personages:
 Monticello, H., July 1S.--After days of fruitless search for the escaped carnival lioness that has terrorized the community for weeks, local citizens today wired to Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, asking him to come here, seek out and kill the beast.
 No such petition could be filed with a king without inviting reproof No such liberty could be taken with a dis tinguished foreigner by his fellow cit- izens but at the cost of shocked sen abilities.
 The colonel. however. being Amer. ican, takes no exceptions to this. The fact is We suspect he is of half mind tc go to Monticello and try his hand at running down the pesky beast, seeing that he has no pressing engagement at the French front.

THE TRUTH WILL OUT

From the Saturday Evening Post. broke ina craps game turned to friend and requested the temporary accommo- dation of a small loan.
 Gus" said the person thus importuned, 'I'd lak nightly to let you have some money, but I'm out of luck my ownse'f f. Dis we're dollar Is about to shoot is de last dollar got in de world"
 He shot and lost, while Gus looked forlornly on. He reached into his vest pocket and hauled out a crumpled bill.
 wy, sho huff, yere is another dol lar!" he said said in tones of aston ishment.
 fast to the dice, he unearthed third bill from the sweatband of his hat.
 Now dis yere is absolutely de last dollar I owns on dis earth.'' he stated for the benefit of the company at large ard his chum Gus in particular w en hits gone Is through"
 He risked it and lost it. As he slid his free hand toward an inner recess in the waistband of his trousers the bank rupt Gus spoke up.

1 For the really poor the conditions arc
 different. They must have bread, be-
 cause it is their principal article of
 diet
 ,, If we can save a weekly average ot l defeat the submarine blockade The sit- uation is so exceedingly serious that it
 calls for the utmost self denial and care.
 Thoughtlessness in the consumption of 1 food has become almost as dangerous to
 the cause of freedom as open disloyalty.'' 1 The above was written as an appeal to the British, but it should prove an incen- 1 tive to each patriotic American who reads | it to economize in bread, that our allies may suffer less.
 Of course, every one should eat enough bread. There is, however, no doubt but that the average person consumes at least one-third more bread than he needs. If the consumption of bread in America were cut down 25 per cent we would be better off and our English cousins and 1 French friends would lave plenty as | seen as the ships carry it to them. It ought not to be a hardship for
 us to reduce our consumption of wheat products one-fourth. Most of us have
 been taught to eat corn of muffin
 bread. If not, we can soon learn that
 they have as agreeable flavor and that they have as good food value as breads
 made from wheat flour. The French and
 English do not know how to cook breads made of cornmeal and but few of them have ever eaten corn bread of any kind; and in this emergency they cannot be taught. Bread made of equal parts of wheat flour and corn meal has better flavor and is as nutritious as brands of wheat flour.
 Hominy, both the cracked corn and the old fashioned "lye" varieties, or "grits" are inexpensive substitutes, and are quite as palatable as the expensive breakfast foods which are usually made of wheat, and with little effort We can cultivate the taste for them. We also have an abundance of other substitutes for wheat, viz: potatoes, rice. oatmeal and barley. We often eat enough starchy foods for meal in these whole some articlcs of food, and then too r.uch bread in addition When we have a "cereal' we could get along well with only one slice of bread.
 Help win the war by eating less flour bread and other wheat products.

From the Kansas City Star
 People are always accusing me of hav- ing more children than I am really blessed with,'' admitted MT. Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, Ark. "Tuther day we had the presiding elder to dinner and when we were at the table all the places were filled and enough of the children left over to lap three-quarters of the way around the festal board again. And the scrabbling and scrapping betwlxt them that was in office, so to express it, and them that wanted to be elected. was right interesting. They all aimed to hold their own and that of as many others as pos sible, and, what with that'n grabbing an- others fodder and getting his hair pulled for it. and this'n sliding outdoors or under the bed with somebody else's helping, and the breaking of an occasional dish, and wife skipping right and left at the handy ones and me yelling at s.ll of em on generl principles, it was as lively as a camp meeting.
 Hum! How many children have you. anyhow, Brother Johnson? asked the el- der.
 Only fourteen, Parson, says l.
 "'Well well!' says he, just like that We'll! wellv And I could see that being a preacher he didn't like to call me a liar right there in my own house.

Fine Address on China

The address on China, delivered by Missionary Harris at the Ministers union yesterday morning, was truly an inspiring and informing one," said Rev. E. C.. Johnston of East Birmingham. He spoke with first hand knowledge and made every one present see the present unrest in the great celestial empire which, after centuries of sleep, is being prodded into wakefulness by the pushing and aggressive powers of the west He let us see that if China was not Chris tianized that it's awakening might prove serious blow to occidental pride''

Johnson City Soldiers, Home

For years my friend. Capt. H. M King, U. S. A., had been after me to pay him visit at Johnson City, Tenn, where the Soldiers Home is located" !" said Col. w. B. Leedy. "So this time when the Confederate Veterans met at Washington he insisted so strongly upon running by to see him that I did so, and l was surprised beyond measure at the beauty of the surroundings and the magnificence of the buildings.
 II greatly enjoyed my visit and came away with the firm belief that Uncle Sam takes good care of the old veterans. l had the privilege of playing golf on the grounds of the Johnson City Golf club, and the views from some of the tees are magnificent The mountains in the dis tance, the streams in the valley, and the busy city below make the scene one never to be forgotten

1.-THE weather conditions this July 0 in this part of the country have been as favorable for crops as the conditions in 1916 were unfavorable. Last July will be remembered in Ala bama as a month of torrential rains and destructive floods Cotton that escaped the boil weevil in this state was ruined by the overflows.
 This year the acreage planted in cotton was smaller than usual, but the hope is that the yield will be larger than last year. But as most of the corn crop-the largest ever grown in Alabama-is 'elaid by" there is no longer any anxiety in that di- rection. There has been enough moisture, but not too much rain. The fields are looking lush and green.
 There is fine prospect for live stock in this state this year. Beef cattle and hogs have multiplied and the breeds have been improved
 The canning industry is a new fea- ture of Alabama's productiveness. It has started off well, and the output of canned vegetables alone will add this year materially to the wealth of the state.
 But let not the tillers of the soil relax their interest in crops because the summer is slipping away. Corn is made" and other great food crops are virtually made, but there is al- ways work to be done on the farm and in the kitchen garden. Now is the time to husband what is in sight and to prepare the ground for late crops, such as turnips and fall spinach.

Chorus Music For

1NHE regular army has always been
 O supplied with bands--a band for every reeiment-and the same pro vision has been made for volunteer organizations called into service for war. Some of the best bands heard in the Spanish-American war were those of the state militia.
 In the great national army now be- ing raised music will play an impor- tant part. Between 500 and $50 bands, averaging eighteen pieces, will be enlisted something like 10000 instrumentalists In addition to the bands choruses will be organ ized in such units or groups as can furnish capable singers. There will be something like community singing, only the army groups will have daily

TO FRANCE

From the Chicago Herald
 On the stage of the world France is the star actress at present. We said actress, not actor. She is always La Belle France. Now, why Is that? The great virtues of the French nation are economy, enthusiasm, and endurance not one of them principally feminine. And yet not only her own soldiers, but our young men also die for her on the firing line, not like martyrs. but like lovers for their sweetheart. England inspires no such sentiment. We re- spect England. England is the heavy father of the current drama. But France is the leading lad'-,

HOTEL LOBBIES
LightnIng,s Strange P1nnk

There is no telling what lightning Will do' said Dr. J. G. Williamson. Tn a recent storm at Acton a stroke killed a horse in stall next to the garage in which Dr. H. L. Cunningham, the physi- elan of the Acton Coal company, was standing, shocking him. still another stroke struck the automobile, and yet another stroke struck two pine trees nearby. It seemed as if a ball of elec- trlfied air burst above the building in which the doctor was standing. giving him faint idea of the bursting of a shell on the war front"

Keremsky's s the Task
of Saving Russia

14 kD@IVAAG5 0MS1SSA@S
 WlTHATEVER may be the Rus w sian equivalent of "Send for Kerensky," that seems to be the first thought when disaffection threatens the downfall of Russia s hopes.
 We do not know all the forces that are at work to disorganize the army and set the people by the ears, but it doesn't require much imagination to picture the sinister arm of Ger many stretched out over what was formerly the Czar's domain, direct ing host of astute, indefatigable agents, plentifully supplied with money and quick to take advantage of unsettled conditions, who are help ing to prevent the coordination of Russia's powers for self-protection.
 Insubordination in Galicia, where Kerensky recently led in person a victorious advance, has given the Germans the opportunity for which they were waiting, and they have de- Evered some telling blows. Once more Kerensky is summoned to the front where it is hoped his flaming patriot ism will inspire the Russian troops to new heroism.
 The Russian soldier is no coward. In fact, when his heart is in his work. there is no better fighting man on earth. If Kerensky can weld the de- moralized troops into compact whole, imbued with his own lofty aspirations and convinced that the future of their country hangs in the balance, there will be a quick re- versal of form.
 Industrial and transportation prob lems are hampering the operations of the Russian armies, but the first con- slderation is a morale. Without it neither the Russians nor any other people can work out their salvation.
