FIRST TRIAL PULL
WITH CATERPILLAR

On Tuesday of this week Ambro
Rosaschi made the first trial pull OF
his Caterpillar As He left Yerington
loaded with $4,000 feet of lumber and
10000 shingles. bound for his ranch
25 miles south of this city The lum-
ber was loaded on wagons and re-
presented weight of about IS tons
which the tractor easily handled and
arrived at the ranch before noon that
day. Mr.. Rosaschi has been anxious
to try out the pulling capacity OF the
machine before it came time for him
to haul his produce to market and
this afforded the opportunity. AS soon
as his potatoes are dug and ready for
market he figures that he will be able
to haul car load to the trip with this
tractor.
The load OF lumber not only repres
ented a test for the caterpillar, but II
also represented more progress tor
Mr.. Rosaschi as the material will be
used in the construction of new
dwelling on the ranch. The plans have
been drawn for modern o room
home to be built near his present
house. Construction work will be be
gin at once.

st@nn ait Cowmtv Jail


 When three ted murderers and four other prisoners charged with offense walked out of the Jefferson county jail yesterday morning, climax reached Tn an institution that has almost become laughing stock throughout Alabama The fact that Overon and Maino killed yes erday afternoon battle with deputies and another escaped prisoner captured after being wounded does not lift the blame which attaches to the system at the shertf office
 The axity of system which permits such miscarriage of justice cannot be too severely condemned This sensational affair preceded by other disclosures which indicated that the system in force at the Jefferson county jail farce According the records this is the third Jail delivery since November l.
 The conditions surrounding this wholesale delivery in themselves subject suspicion and criticism With plans carefully preaanged it apparently for Overon and his companions to get No chances should have been with already sentenced to the gaow yet it appears that they enjoyed unusual liberties.
 The practice of employing prisoners to guard other prisoners and perform duties inside the jail should be abolished From the system that has been in force leads to neg gence and criminal careessness.
 The public demands that radical change be made and reforms instituted which will make the jail the purpose for which 1t was intended.

 The people of Russia not fit for the ballot? The manner in which they have conducted themselves during the past few days has raised the great Slav nation many degrees in the estimation of the world. Whether the provisional government will resolve itself into commonwealth or whether the people will elect to have con- stitutional monarchy, something like that of Great Britain, whose govern ment is to all intents and purposes a republic, there will be no more cruel expressions; no more serfdom. The new Russia marks a splendid epoch in civilization.

THE COST

From the New York World.
 A compilation made in Washington es- inmates the number of men killed in the war up to January 1 as 4s4loo0; those with totally disabling wounds as 2,44S.5O0; those captured or missing as 2,224, 500--in all considerably more than 9,000,000 men who have died or have been permanently maimed or suffered the privations of cap tivity. not counting the victims of the last 10 weeks.
 This estimate is conservative. as per- haps official or semi-official estimates should be. There is British authority for setting the number of deaths alone as high as 6,O0Ooo0. In the millions also must the reckoning run of civilians murdered, as in Armenia; killed in bombarded towns; perished miserably of starvation, as in Poland or more slowly from dis ease engendered by hunger. exhaustion. cold and wretchedness. Military losses may presently be known; of these others no estimate, even. can be made until long after the fighting is over, and it can never be complete.
 The property loss is in quite another aspect; yet the wasting of s66.

President O. P. Ford in Town

T am feeling much better" said o. P. Ford, state president of the Farmers union of Alabama, who has been on the sick list some months. T like to come to Birmingham occasionally and see things on the hum. Besides, we have our state headquarters here We will shortly put on whirlwind campaign and bargain offer in order to get our membership back to about 10000. The scheme is to offer all members who are in arrears, no matter how many years, a clear card by paying one years dues in advance 27 cents. Back in 1907 and 1908 we had some 10000 or 50,000 members. If we can get this list banded together again, with the cooperative experience we now pos sess, we will show the consuming public how to cut the price of living United we stand, divided we can do nothing. We must cooperate in every branch of farm ing first and then do things later.
 Crops will be backward again this spring, but the farmer as rule always has hope. So here's hoping we all have good year in spite of the many ob- stacles we have to surmount."

 ITS there pervasive and shocking immod-
 esty, expressed in dress or elsewhere, S among the young women in Louis vile?
 Upon the question, What is modesty?" honest minds differ. Whether modesty exists apart from convention it would old as modesty or any other human quail ity that is known today. But if there is room for difference of opinion as to the nature of modesty there is no doubt whatever about the nature of immodesty.
 If girl in bathing suit of the pre- vaiing fashion is modest it is not because her skirt Is as long as a ball gown skirt. It is because, with suitable dignity of demeanor and innocency of intention, she wears a special purpose costume sane tioned by the majority and not calculated to attract attention among other bathing costumes. In such costume she may appear on the streets in a seaside resort, and attract little or no attention. The same costume worn in Broadway, New York, or in Fourth avenue, Louisville, would subject the wearer to arrest for indecency. The average ball gown, of any period, worn shopping would attract mob and would, no doubt, land the wearer in the police court.
 It is hard to define modesty in terms of dress-and assuredly modesty does not mean a stipulated quantity of dry goods devoted to the purpose of concealment-it is easy to recognize immodesty. The girl who would wear bathing costume or flagrantly immodest, not because of the

The reason why slender girl doesn' t
 mind standing up in street car when the
 fat woman who is sitting in front of her
 Is spread out over room for three is be-
 cause the slender girl knows that is how
 the fat woman got so fat.
 Every now and then queen of hearts

 monds because she insists on flirting With
 some dirty little deuce.
 When man takes slant at his wife's new easter bonnet he will begin to real
 ze that there is a price on her head. Any time a young girl marries an old mutt who drinks his coffee out of his saucer and eats with his knife you can bet that he has money enough to pay for it.
 A man may be afraid that ghost will walk when he is passing a graveyard at midnight. But no ghost can scare him when it walks on pay day. One thing we like about prohibition is that a number of large cities will soon be dry and will have nothing on Tap Gen. ter, Kan, where pool hall is hell hole, and where the smoking of cigar cites is prohibited by law. An advantage of living in the United states is thatif things turn out badly for you. you can always blame it on the ad- ministration.
 A man hasn't as much sense as a wom-
 an. When company calls at the house he
 doesn't spend all of his time apologizine for the looks of the place. Fathers are not respected like they used l to be in the old days when a son belonged l to political party because his father did These days you can find a demo- cratic son bawling the stuffing out of his lfat-headed republican daddy And vice versa.
