ALLEGED GERMAN SPIES RELEASED
 AFTER INQUIRY

Anniston, April 14-(Special)-On ad-
 vice of Col: Bibb Graves and his asso-
 ciates at the Anniston military camp, to-
 gether with civil authorities who have
 been studying the situation, the alleged
 German spy who has been held under
 guard here ever since he was arrested at
 Wellington last Thursday morning, has
 been allowed his liberty.
 The man in question was arrested near a bridge at Wellington and brought here for trial He never did disclose his name
 or make any comment whatever No evil dence was found, however, that would warrant his being held, so he was given a shave and released from custody Fri day afternoon.
 One alleged spy is still being held by Major McAlpin, commander of the An niston Guards, however, and it Is said that he had in his possession maps and other discriminating evidence that will justify the authorities in Investigating his case further.
 H. A. Luce, who was arrested here hy the Anniston civil authorities few days ago on the holding charge of doing busi- l ness without a license, was likewise re- 1 leased Saturday after being convicted on the preferred charge. He was fined S25 | and costs, which he paid and left. For several weeks he and his wife had been 1 living in an automobile which they had converted into a semblance of a gypsy van, but there was no evidence that inn plicated him in any plot against the gov ernment.

To Lessen Eating Expenses

To the Editor of The Age-Herald When will our southern "hot biscuit" eaters learn that they would suffer less from indigestion and urinary complaints were they to cut out one-half or two- thirds of their wheat flour eatables, and in their stead thoroughly cooked eatables made from bolted corn meal? As highest grade bolted corn meal costs not exceed Ing one-half as much as common wheat flour no figuring is necessary to show everybody the immense saving through it's use.
 The letter of A. N. Smith to the Phil adelphia Inquirer ought to be read by every citizen of the south. and is as fol- lows:
 ITO the Editor of The Inquirer: 1T have recently made an exnaustive investigation of the comparative food value of the products of white corn, and the results show these products to be so much more economical than many of the foods commonly used that I believe it
 would interest your readers to see the comparison.
 "The food value of one pound of corn
 meal grits or hominy costing 3 cents is
 equal to the food value of any of the following used foods:
 pound of wheat flour cost .......... 6c pound of rice costing .................. sc l1k pounds of cheese costing ......... soc 2s. pounds of round steak costing ....s0c
 ? dozen eggs costing ...............,... BOG
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-15

h neck potatoes costing ........ 45c pints milk costing ...................... BOG National prosperity has made us prodi- gal of our resources and wastetuI of our substance, particularly in the matter of food for which we have been paying more than is commensurate with food values, and I believe it behooves Ameri- cans today to consider the real nutritive value of the food which they purchase and to know the merits of white corn products, which I believe to be the cheap est nourishing food which the housewife can buy on the market today.
 ''The south knows and appreciates the value of white corn for table use, why not the north the east and the west?
 "A. W. SMITH" The south does not really appreciate the value of white corn meal, as com pared to wheat flour, else they would be eating much more of the former and a great deal less of the latter.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Getting Results From Soil

1 To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 | I am greatly impressed with the fine
 preaching you are doing in the way of
 | crop betterment. Your MT. Barnett is
 great inspiration to all your agricultural readers and the service which you ren-
 dered the public in getting Mrs. Mathis | to campaign about the Birmingham dis | trict I am sure will yield rich results. | From time to time we learn of some | Alabama farmer who has been quietly i raising big crops for years. Why could
 not the story of these men and their l crops be exploited at this time? All the | average farmer needs is to be shown and these little stories told briefly would strike | the average farmer in much the same way as do the pithy, contentious utter ances of Mrs. Mathis. Who knows but that this great war may be the means | of revealing Alabama to herself as no | other agent has? The more land is cul- | tivated the more it ought to produce. We know this to be true because our gar dens are cultivated more thoroughly than any other part of the farm and produce more generously
 For years our school garden, consisting
 of but a trife over an acre, has produced a large part of all the vegetables con- sumed by our school, usually about 80 per sons. If the garden does not run down why SnOulQ any OInef pOrliOu Ol the farm? In that wonderful book of Prince Kropotk,n's, Field, Factories and Work shops,'' we have the marvellous story of the farmers of Europe. At one place in Flanders, eight and a half bushels of wheat Gas much wheat as one person will consume for year) was grown on q plat of ground AT feet square. This is at the rate of 160 bushels to the acre and this land has grown wheat for
 thousand years. The British Parliament some years since conducted an investi- gation as to agricultural conditions on the Island of Jersey. This island is far from market and has only three indus tries: the raising of Jersey cattle. Irish potatoes and a variety of quick growing wheat. The island consists of about 2S,- coo arable acres of land. The average yield per acre for the whole island is about $2i3 Conditions are much more favorable in Alabama than on the Island of Jersey. We must all turn to and
 make of Alabama the richest agricultural state in the union. To bring this about
 the only requisite needed is the under standing mind.
