Stolen Property Recovered

TO the Editor of The Age Herald
 As a citizen of Jefferson county. I fec it my duty to express my appreciation for service rendered by w. H. Will son and F. l.. Taylor in running down and capturing the thief who stole my horse and buggy from my barn on the 18th inst On the morning after the theft, MT Wilson came to my home and seeing what had been done, said: T am at your service night or day until the man is caught" and he made good his promise.
 From that day he with his car and Mr. Taylor covered hundreds of miles until Sunday evening at Cooper's. village in Autauga county, these men captured the man with property This is the third horse and fourth buggy I have had stolen from me within the last 10 years and none before were ever recovered. Btu for the work of these men I fear I should have sufferd the same loss at this time

Increase Cold Storage Space

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Permit the undersigned to make a suggestion about the food situation, now and future.
 Suggest that all ice companies oper- ating in the south be encouraged to build and operate cold storage plants and creameries in connection with their plants
 Probably some of these plants ma; be unable to meet these conditions ow- ing to finances and Knowledge of con- struction and operation of such plants
 l believe this could be easily rem edied by mobilizing the owners and managers of all small plants and have them visit large plant of this char acter so as to enable them to make a thorough study in operation and man agement.
 Also would suggest that competent instructors who thoroughly understand the operation and management of such plants be employed to visit all plants in this state. to instruct the manage ment and employees how to conduct this business successfully.
 Relative to finances, I believe this could be handled to a successful con |. clusion by calling all bankers and merchants in each district of their iiScai CSt' pidlL anu dSk them to dQNdnCc such money and good will to make their plant be a success.
 If Alabama had 150 such plants for the storage of eggs. butter and other perishable food products, do you think that the speculators could twist the market at their good will to fatten their pocketbooks?
 Furthermore. the farmers would be encouraged to take up dairying on a more extensive scale if thev had sucn facilities to store their surplus in the summer so as to enable them to mar ket same at a profit in the winter
 l believe every town of 1900 inhab- itants should be encouraged to organ ize stock companies to build and oper- ate plants of this character
 Make cold storage plants for towns of 1900 or more the slogan of your paper and you will soon see the MI Greedy Food Speculator take to the tall timber Yours truly. A. MATHIS. Birmingham. April 27. 1917. 1ot1 South Thirteenth street

Madstones

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I notice an article in your paper on
 rabies where Professor Litterer makes
 the statement that madstones have no
 merit and are positively injurious. etc.
 In the first place, I think the word
 professor the taclliest appellation in the
 English language. In my schooldays our
 professor of the sciences denied that a
 baseball could be curved, and the boys
 had the writer to convince him to the
 contrary. The next day he delivered an oration about the phenomenon being
 caused by the atmospheric pressure upon
 the seams of the ball, etc, while every pitcher knows 1t is caused by the twist given the ball In addition to the forward delivery.
 But about madstones: We have one in our family which has the following prop critics which I would like the professor to explain:
 l. It will not adhere to a fresh cut. ?. It will adhere to a honey bee sting in, little while. 8. On a man bitten by & mad horse 1t twisted in two pieces. A. The man was twitching all over when brought for treatment. S. The stone after being on bite for a while is pulled away and put in warn water, which it discolors. | G. Out of some dozens of persons whc used this stone who were bitten by mad animals, not one ever went mad. How does the illustrious professor account for | this?
 | z. Why could not the Almighty give a
 stone power to draw poison as another draws steel?
 B. We never charged anyone for the use of the stone

SPLENDID ROADS

Morgan county has pike roads running in every direction. but Probate Judge L.. F. Troup, who was largely responsible for this good work, says he and his associate commissioners could have saved the county money if it had not been for the necessity of working the convicts on the road. Owing to the fact that most of
 the convicts are short term prisoners, in experienced in road building, and to the fact that they have to be clothed when released, Judge Troup says that working them on the public highways is an ex- pensive undertaking. This is required in Morgan however, by a special legislative act
 One of these good roads in Morgan county passes through Hartselle a sub stantial agricultural town, and M. D.
 Wiggns, editor of the Enterprise, situ- ated at the head of Main street. is the
 owner of two easy chairs that would have made William Morris himself tarry in the town. I reclined back In one of these chairs and started to talking food crops, but when learned that Mrs. Ma this had just made a speech there on the same subject became listener in stead of talker. and went out to watch the crows that had come to town to hear her address.

DIPLOMATIC DATE LINE

It is in realization of this fact and be- cause I do not know exactly where De- catur quits and Albany begins that I have dated this letter from somewhere in Morgan" I admit thereby that I am not as clever as W. R. Shelton and H. D. Harkreader, publishers of the Albany Decatur Daily who pleased the people of the two towns with a good paper before they were divorced in name, and who continue to do SO. The Daily is published at Albany and If there are any folks over in Decatur that do not like it, they merely have to turn republican and sub scribe for Will Nelson's Weekly News, or wait until they get the days happen ings briefly stated in the special corres- pondence to The Age-Herald.

Hall. president of the Albany board of commerce, told me that he hopes "Hark'' will not go the way of his associate, Ben Bloodworth, who is now on his way to Germany to twist the Kaiser's moustache.

DECATUR HAS HOTELS

No matter how much money traveller may make in Albany during the day. he nearly always has to spend a part of it in Decatur at night, for the latter place has all three of the hoteds-and they would do credit to much larger town The Lyons is now adding 40 rooms. De- catur also has the county courthouse, and hopes soon to have $65,000 government building, for which a lot has been pur chased. The $20O0O0 compress that was burned there last year has been recently rebuilt, and handles about 15o000 bales of cotton every year. James A. Nelson is mayor of Decatur, and a leader in all the city's business activities.
 The board of commerce has not been organized at Albany very long, but it is getting results already. They have just located $10,000 overall factory a broom factory and started to making acid at the tanning plant, thus giving employ ment to 100 more men w. R. Hall, presi- dent of the civic body, is well known over the state through his connection with public utilities He is a live wire and is ably assisted by w. w. Archibald. a paid secretary, Mayor E. c. Payne and the citizens generally
 There are few people in Alabama that do not know the Louisville and Nashville shops are located at Albany but 1t may not be generally known that the two cities have within the neighborhood of S5 miles of paved sidewalk and more than seven miles of paved streets.
