Swinging the Hoe

Every fellow has aNhobby and mine is gardening" said H. S. Jones. the well-known piano merchant. Golf. tennis, baseball. fishing and the movies are all entertaining. I guess. but I'd rather swing the hoe than tho mashie any day, and I get more fun out of raising big tomato than I would out of landing an eight-pound trout It's a profitable form of amusement, too, these days. when farm products are soaring and fresh vegetables bring double their normal price"

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
 For Ambassador to England

For AmDaSSadOr to EnSlanu e ENATOR HENRY CABOT ig LODGE of Massachusetts would make an ideal ambassador to Great Britain. America needs at this time a man at the court of St. James whose uncompromising patriotism makes him pre-emiaently the spokesman. of this country in it's war against autoc- racy. In his memorable address to the Senate last Friday Senator Lodge said:
 "No peace that ever satisfies Ger many can ever satisfy us. It cannot be negotiated peace. It must be a dictated peace, and we and our allies 1 must dictate it."
 Senator Lodge voiced in these words the sentiments of the American people who are not in favor of a compromise with Germany which will leave her in possession of the spells of war and in position to start an- other war when she has recouped her strength. His speech met with warm |approval abroad. He would be ac- |ceptable to Great Britain, for his ideas on the subject of peace are identical with those expressed by
 English statesmen.
 A member of the Senate since 1893,
 Senator Lodge is a man of ripe ex-
 perience and far vision. The ranking republican on the foreign relations
 committee, he has made profound ,study of European politics and is
 probably the best equipped man in Congress for our most important diplomatic post abroad.
 | Student, historian, biographer, statesman and patriot, Senator Lodge,
 with long and honorable public ca lreer behind him and distinguished lrecord of twenty-five years in the
 Senate, stands high in the esteem of Ihis countrymen. Without disparage- Iment to Ambassador Page, who has rendered his resignation, The Age Herald believes we need at this time a war ambassador in London, one who
 will be outspoken and courageous n |upholding America's war aims
 Though republican, democratic ad-
 ministration would honor itself in lhonoring Senator Lodge.

Military Training in
 Preparatory Schools

| M MILITARY training is now a
 AVU feature of every we'll organ ized preparatory school and college
 and long after the war is ended the drill master will continue to be an important member of every faculty. The world will have had enough of lighting. Peace leagues will be the universal rule. After the present carnage ceases the probability is that no one of this generation or the next
 will be called to the battlefields; but
 military practice is good for the youth of the country and will receive
 more attention than ever. It is con- ducive of orderly habits and moral discipline; and as it makes for the physical we'll being of the student body will become more popular year Iby year.
 The Alabama Presbyterian college at Anniston starts the fall term with l a thoroughly equipped military de-
 partment. An instructor of high quali-
 fications has been selected for this
 branch of education and the enroll
 ment in September promises to be ex-
 ceptionally large. Anniston is to be
 congratulated upon the advanced step
 the college has taken.
