A CHANCE FOR THE FARMERS.

Demonstration Agent Greer of Car
roll county, calls the attention of the
farmers up that way to the fact that
a great quantity Of fine cattle from
the brouth.stricken portions of Texas
may now be bought cheaply and he
advises farmers with good pasture In
this section to buy at once.
He says: 1T is an oppOrtune time
for farmers and stockmen, with a sur
plus of cheap forage this season, to
buy some stuff that cannot help but
make them money. These cattle are
high grade stuff; thin of course, but
are a grade of cattle that will put on
flesh rapidly and profitably. Now
while there is so much good pasture,
would be an opportune time to buy
and the next sixty days should make
buyers $40 per head profit"

HARRY MITCHELL KILLS
A MAN IN THE WEST

Responding to telegram from his
son, Harry, at Creyenne, Wyoming
]. Sol Mitchell went to that city last
week, and found the sad affair sub
stantially as told in the following clip.
1 ping from the Cheyenne Star-Leader:
Charles Tobin,, the waiter employed
by w. |. LeBarton, met his death as
a result of an argument with the chef,
B. II. Mitchell, over an order of ham
and eggs. 1t came out at the inquest
that Tobin had ordered ham and eggs
for a patron of the restaurant a short
time before ~ o'clock noon on Mon
day. There has been an order in eff,
feet at the restaurant that no short
orders would be served between 11:30
and 2 O'Clock, and Tobin gave the
order between these hours. Mitchell
refused to serve the order. An alter
CdIlOH dlOSt anu dlltl SOlut lOuu
talking had passed between the two
men LeBarton went back and sought
to quell the trouble
TObin, according to LeBarron's tes-
timony, started to leave the kitchen,
and then returned to the pantry door,
and told Mitchell that il he did not
stop talking back to him (Tobin)
there would be one less chef at the
restaurant, or words to that effect.
Mitchell was angered, and hurled a
small platter, described in the testi-
mOny of another waiter named Coop,
er, who witnessed the affair, as an
s or 8 inch platter at TObin which
struck him edgewise on the left side
of the head. The blow felled Tobin.
Tobin got up without assistance
and started toward the chef, presum-
ably with the intention of doing him
bodily damage He then seemed to
think better of this and went to the
sink and washed the blood from the
wound. Then he went into the base
ment of the restaurant and sat down
on a box He did all this with no
assistance. Another waiter then in
formed LeBarron that a doctor should
be called, and DR.. Johnson was sum-
mo ned. He went to the restaurant,
and had Tobin taken to his office
where he could make a thorough ex-
animation of the wound. Tobin
walked to the office with assistance
from other men from the restaurant.
Here it was found that he was seri-
ously hurt, and that a severe cere-
bral hemmorhage was in progress.
Johnson then had him taken to the
hospital, where he was operated upon.
According to the testimony of DR..
Johnson, the platter struck Tobin
edgewise. 1t cut through his scalp,
and the bone Of the skull. After pene-
trating the skull and spending its
force, the platter dropped and pried
the top of the skull outward, and
crushed the lower part inward,
against the BRAIN An operation was
performed on Tobin's head and large
fragments of the shattered skull were
removed from his brain These frag-
ments were introduced, as evidence
before the coroner's jury, consisting
Of Enos Laughlin, John Mcdonald and
Robert Kelper. A formal charge of
murder will be placed against Mitch
ell.

 'rhe stage has always been the pioneer in paving the way for great changes, new fads, new eras in thought, political and social upheavals. Moliere, for m stance, was the real advance agent of the French revolution; his influence on the minds of the French people was tremen- dous; so it doesn't take particularly keen foresight to see that during this terrible world war the inspired idealist must ar rive. 1 believe that the sorrows and sufferings that we are going through everywhere today will serve to clean up the stage and purify the drama so that plays like 'Ben-.Hur', Peter Ibbetson, The Torches and other imaginative, po- etical, idealistic things will predominate.
 The stage of recent years has suf- fered frightfuly from too Iax spirit when it comes to the delicate things" Miss Howell said.
 "A dramatist thinks nothing of calling spade spade; the most outre things are said and done in plays nowadays Somerset Maugham's drama, Our Bet ters, is an example; the most fragrant and impudent thing I ever saw So is The Very Idea.' Upstairs and Down is as naughty as it can be, and I could mention dozens of others; but all this in my opinion, will vanish and the big idealisms of life take their place. I be- lieve the war will create an era in the drama where an appeal must be made to the better nature of humanity; where pictures of the slums and degenerate so- ciety will not have. any vogue unless they can carry an uplift note. We actors have suffered too much already for want of good material, but with the millions of mothers and wives and sweethearts who are today praying for their loved ones on the battlefields of Europe there comes a spiritual awakening which the entire life of the stage must experience as well as every other walk of life. and plays like 'Ben-Hur will live and live

A AIR. JOSEPH FRENCH JOHNSON

lA AIR. JOSEPH FRENCH JOHNSON NWll of New York. who has been a recent visitor to Birmingham, where many had the pleasure of hear ing him. The following from a recent copy of the suffragisr, giving his views "On Women in the Business World" " will be read with much interest:
 Joseph French Johnson, dean of the New York University School of Con- merce Accounts and Finance, who has for years been training women and men for business, believes that all women ought to work, and that now they have the chance to establish themselves firmly in every field through the present forced dependence on them He acknowledges that women have not yet been treated fairly in matters of pay. advancement and being given executive positions, and that it lies with women now to demand Justice.
 If a woman possesses initiative if she has the brains and the desire to lift herself out of the rut, she may as well understand that she much work harder than the young man who is her equal if she is to convince her employer that she deserves advancement.
 Women still are paid less than men, in many offices, for three reasons: The first is that, women will take less than men; the second is that competition among employers for the services of any particular woman seldom exists: the third cause is that the average employer does not feel that with ais ohien em- ployes business is an end in itself
 sfIf women want to earn as much as men, they must convince business men that they mean business. Instead of an occasional woman retaining her job after marriage, the ruie must be not to let marriage interfere with business. Such decision involves many problems and adjustments. We have to work them out. If the business woman wants to be treated as permanent factor she must be one"
