A College Mule

Next year I expect to raise almost everything that is eaten in the How-, ard college domitory,'' said Prof s. J. Pulliam, one of the livest educators in the state. who is thoroughly in sym pathy with food production and con- servation. "It may sound funny in me to say so, but one of the most helpful gifts that anyone could give to the college would be mule. Not because we are short on kickers,' but because we need a mule for the cultivation of our land. If anyone who reads this has mule they do not want and wish to endow Howard college with--not a 'Pegaus' but a more useful animal they will please bring him out or send me word and Twill come for him"

Great Things Promised
 for Gasoline Carburetor

M CCoRDING to an announcement A coming from Washington, a newly invented carburetor which will permit the substitution of kerosene for gasoline may improve the gasoline situation. That the new invention is taken seriously seems to be indicated by an advance of cent per gallon for kerosene. That might have been expected.
 A Boston dispatch in the Wall Street Journal says, in speaking of the new carburetor: Ut is really more important than the taking of Jerusa- lem, for gasoline is one of the powers under the war defending civilization and Christianity itself against the Turk and the Hun. It is man power and gasoline power that will hold Jerusalem and the eastern front of civilization across Europe from the English channel to the Adriatic."
 At approximately one-thifd the cost a gallon of kerosene has far more power than gallon of gasoline. The chief objection to it's use heretofore is the fact that it deposits carbon in cylinders and in short while ruins an engine. In it's experimental stage the new carburetor does away with carbon deposits. Experts state that it operates well in laboratory experi- ments, but must be tested in practi- cal outdoor work. in varying degrees

of heat and cold before it will meet all requirements.
 If the gasoline conservation cam paign in the United States could be carried out as originally intended, this country would have an ample supply of gasoline, both for consumption at home and abroad

Proud of Dad

Every fellow is or ought to be proud of his father,' said J. .B. Ellis of Selma, but the older I get the prouder I am of my dad He is man any way you take him. Every now and then I catch myself trying to size him up. He is big physically, being over six feet. He is big in heart never turning down n worthy cause. He is big in brain, for he served we'll in the Senate after he had passed his eightieth mile stone He is big in soul, for he has ever been de- voutly religious and supporter of the church. But to me he is the biggest of all when he gets on his Confederat te uniform and marches as proudly as the day he went off to fight for the south, and says The is ready to fight for Uncle Sam rather than to have the Kaiser win this war;

Loved Jo,velry

T have always been fond of jewelry, , said Tom Pounds, the well known rail- road engineer. as he stood gazing in one of the big downtown shop windows where all kinds of handsome diamonds, pearls, rubies and other masterpieces of the jewellers art were on display.
 'I am just thinking as I gaze on these stones how wonderful are the limitations. I have just come from look ing at a lot of the limitations and be- lieve me it's hard for the uninitiated to tell the difference. It's gotten so that many who are able to have the real, are keeping their treasures in safety deposit vaults and op ordinary occasions wearing the limitations. All this in spite of the old joke that Christ mas jewelry is the first thing to turn green in spring."

Do Your Bit By
 Joining Red Gross

ID BIRMINGHAM has acquired the .0 habit of high achievement in all campaigns for patriotic or humane purposes and there will be no flag Iging this week when the Christmas drive for Red Cross members begins.
 Field Marshal J. Frank Rushton has perfected a thorough organiza- tion in Jefferson county and no con- mander ever led more determined or more confident army than his.
 The Red Cross volunteers are full of enthusiasm and the public will doubtless respond to their appeals without urging. The moral strength that a vast membership in the Red Cross society will bring to American larms cannot be overestimated.
 In the United States there are now five million members. Their sympathy has counted for much and their cor porate activity has accomplished un- told good. With ten million new mem- bers the society will be a tower of strength indeed.
 There are innumerable ways of peo- pie outside of the army doing their ''bit," and joining the Red Cross is lone of the best. Let no one ap- preached by the cahvassers today say he or she cannot afford to contribute the small amount of $1 as membership dues. Money at this time is a sec ondary matter, but your name on the membership roll is of prime import ance.
 With a big start today the success of the drive will be more than as- sured. The county's allotment is only thirty-five thousand. It should be forty thousand, and that will be the goal reached.

 will build in happy boughs once more; And to the bleak uncounted graves The grass will run in silken waves; And q great hush will softly fall On tortured plain and mountain wall, Now wild with cries of battling hosts And curses of the fleeing ghosts.
