RIDE INTERRUPTIONS

Propelled thereto by gasoline,
 How wondrous fair the rustic scene, But ere these sylvan charms inspire, We have to mend puncsureG tire. With kindling eyes we view the hills And harken to the pleasant rills,
 But just when we become enthralled We wake to learn the engines stalled. A pleasure 'tis to take the air And motor forth, but carking care Still camps upon our luckless trail, 'Gainst which no sonnet can avail.

Some of the most successful lawyers and men of science are we'll above the threc- score mark, and not few great bank CTS continue to work hard after they are in their seventies.
 In military service the rule is diff ferent. A medical correspondent of the London Times writes interestingly of the British governments policy of raising the age limit for conscription from 40 to 45 It is commonly as- kned, he says, that if man presents

No Famine This Year

I think The Age-Herald is doing an excellent work in impressing the need of conservation of all resources and the growing of a large food crop this year." said Marshall M. Peck, manager of the Armour business at Anniston, who was in the city yesterday afternoon. How ever, it should be stressed that there is little likelihood of famine this year, and if the people will only keep cool and not get unduly excited. think all normal de- mands can be taken care of by the manu- featuring and farming interests of the country"
 MT Peck has been living at Anniston for about two years, and he says he likes the place so well that he is always averse to going away. He believes the people of Calhoun will vote the cattle tick out of their boundaries next year, and that Cal houn will become one of the leading stock growing counties of the state.

An Admirer of Teddy

Roosevelt is a fighter from the word go, said Thomas E. Streit of the local detective force last night, and if he IS allowed to take force of soldiers to France in the present war, he will never ask his men to go anywhere that he is afraid to lead them. I believe that he has the making of great general in him If he is given the opportunity to show 1t.
 There are many of Mr. Roosevelt s policies that I am not in accord with, but have the utmost admiration for him as a man. One of the greatest indexes to his broadness of character, in my opin- ion, was his act in offering his services to President Wilson in the present na< tional crisis in any capacity in which he could be used and stating publicly that the President, his late political opponent, was right. and that he was with him to the finish. MT. Hughes might follow his example with profit"

More Than Two Souls
 In The United States

IT SALTER HANSEN, who halls 0o from that dear Paris, delivered lecture in New York at $5 per head and in the course of his remarks on psyche o-analysis, said that President Wilson was the only man in the United States who had a soul. There were twenty-five palpitant persons present. While they struggled to overcome their amazement, the speaker amended his statement to in- clude Otto H. Kahn, banker, philan- thropist and art patron.
 MT. Hansen said he had a soul him self while in Paris, but lost it when he came to New York. Others are be- lieved to have had the same. experi- ence, but that is not pertinent to the matter in hand Americans have no soul from the philosophical point of view" he said. "We are all suffering from emotional stagnation'
 The trouble with Mr. Hansen is that he has been so absorbed in abstract meditations he hasn't kept abreast of the times. America has more soul to the square inch right now than it ever had before in it's history. MT. Wilson has soul, of course-a great soul and so has MT. Kahn, but there are millions of other American citizens similarly blessed. Even pacifists have souls, albeit they suffer from retarded growth.
 As for emotional stagnation, Whence the cheers which greet "Old

 Increasing Corn and Potato Crops
 TIT HE campaign which the govern
 0 ment and civic organizations have been making for increased plant ing of food crops is showing good re- suits in every part of the country. I If nature is kind from now until | harvest time there will be new high records in all but wheat production. There will be falling off in winter wheat, but crops planted in the spring promise well. The acreage in corn has been great ly extended and the planting of pota- toes is said to be larger than usual. The Irish potato production in the United States totals in good seasons about 350,0OO,OO bushels, but in 1916 the yield was not so large. It is believed that this years acreage will be sufficient to produce 500 ,OoO,- 900 or 700, 1000, 900 bushels; and 1,OOO,- OOO,0 ,0OO bushels would not be surpris- ing. The sweet potato crop has never reached 100000, ,0OO-bushel level, but it will probably do so this year. Here in Alabama the farmers are striving for 1O0,0OO,OOO bushels of corn, and 100 per cent increase in both Irish and sweet potatoes. The largest corn yield in Alabama was in 1915-7O, ,00O, ,000 bushels. The crop last year was smaller than usual on account of the floods-about 47,OO0,- 900 bushels-but with a favorable season this year bumper crop is not too much to hope for. We will need it. The Courier r-JournaPs dramatic critic doesn't think much of Toots Paka, the Hawaiian dancer. He should remember that Toots, while being close to nature in her dances. does not pose as an es- thete.

Roy Kay Is Ready

T haven't gone to war yet,' said Roy Kay, one time most influential fan in Birmingham baseball circles, but now a valued employe of the Drennen Motor Car company, but I am ready when they come after me, and I guess they will have about the best little soldier they ever saw when I get on the firing line.
 "All I want is a smoke pole and plenty of bullets and a chance to get at 'em. and when they pick me off the limb they will all have to say that there s the best soldier in this company, for when I go in, am going to try and burn up the United States league There a;n't no use in this halfway stuff; Of course, I ain't hankering after no war, but at the showdown will be there.
 'But in the meantime am awful busy getting the range of these high priced tires that are coming on the mar ket; the rise. is so fast that you can see it when it goes up. Rubber is just like gold now. and after awhile I guess set of rubber wheels will be worth more than a whole automobile"
 Calhoun Is PrOspering
 Calhoun county Is In better shape in every respect today than ever before said John M. Crook, former probate judge and son of the late Judge Emmett F. Crook. who was in Birmingham yesterday afternoon to take home a new car he has just purchased.
 we not only have now one of the best systems of highways in the state, but our people are getting solidly be- hind President Wilson in his request for the production this year of more food crops. Representatives of the Anniston Chamber of Commerce, together with Farm Demonstration Prentice, have wis., ited nearly every beat in the county with in the past week or so to acquaint the people at first hand with the extremely critical situation as regards the food sit- 1 uation and at 9very meeting there has been marked enthusiasm manifest. with the result that look for less money to leave Calhoun for food this year than ever before"
 l Judge Crook says that Anniston Is in l excellent condition industrially. and tha: the indications seem good for the secur- ing of the proposed army camp this sum- mer.
