LETTERS TO EDITORS
Wheat in Alabama
Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I wish to commend your splendid ef- forts in trying to induce the farmers of Alabama to increase the wheat pro duction next year
 In your editorial under caption,
 fWheat Crop Slogan Now Nation Wide" in your today's paper. is a strong appeal to the farmers, I would Hike however, to make some comments on your editorial as to it's scope for the increase of wheat, not only in Alabama, but in the cotton states of the south.
 You state the slogan is, "Five"acres of wheat for every farm This, in my Judgment, is not a fair slogan. from the fact that there are many small farms in Alabama containing only 40 to 50 acres, while a great number of them contain from 90 acres up to 1000 and more.
 Five acres for every horse or horse power a farm, would be better slogan and more equitable distribu- tion of acreage to be devoted to wheat
 The acreage devoted to wheat should not only be a question of acreage, but the acreage should consist of the yer, best land adapted to wheat. To SOW five acres of the poorest land on farm would be a waste of seed and time un- less it was properly prepared and heavily fertilized; however wheat rais- ing within itself. without a thorough preparation and fertilization of the soil will not prove very profitable, even at $2.20 per bushel guaranteed by the government
 A liberal acreage should also be de- voted to oats this fall as well as wheat. and it is now high time that the farm CTS of the south should commence ar arrangements to secure the best of seed land to prepare their lands for seeding as early as possible to get best results The starving people of the world outside of our allied armies, will have to be fed by our American farmers, hence our southern farmers cannot af- ford to take a chance by neglecting to raise food supplies to feed the south. liberal acreage devoted to wheat and oats this fall will hold up and stim ulate the price of cotton more than anything that could be done, as it would show to the trade the cotton acreage would be reudced next year. Yours truly w. R, PHILIPS. GadSden JulV 31 1918

Welch Wants People
 to Be Vaccinated

Montgomery, August Especial )-Dr. ". S. Welch. state health officer, has appealed to all communities in |Alahama to take up the campaign started by the government for the vac cination of all civilians Tor the preven- ton of smallpox and the inoculation of citizens for the prevention of ty- phoid fever. He said the government had demonstrated the importance of the two methods in preventing small pox and typhoid fever and that if they are necessary in the army and navy, they should be considered necessary for civilians.
 ''The state board of health has been more than pleased with the work done by the United States public health ser vice in the localities in which it has worked in Alabama in the matter of typhoid inoculation as giving real per manent results than in most other branches of it's activities,, said Dr. Welch
 There is much confusion in the minds of the people on the question of vaccination. It should be understood that the word vaccination applies to minimizing people against attacks of smallpox. Vaccination against small pox does not give immunity against typhoid fever. Neither does inoculation with anti-typhoid serum protect the individual against an attack of small pox. It is necessary to take different treatment to protect one against both diseases. The army makes vaccination against smallpox and inoculation against typhoid fever compulsory. A measure which has proven so beneficial in the army ought to be taken volun- tarily by the civilian population"

People May Discipline Their Minds To Almost Any Old Thing In The World Except Liking Persons
 They Do Not Like Cannot Like And Will Not Like

all conditions appears conducive to friendly relations. The line of the poet, "I do not love thee, Doctor Fell, IS the instinctive conclusion and "the deal is off forever and day, so far as such people are concerned.
 Who can explain the psychic basis for this judgment which seems to be without will and with no apparent foundation or knowledge!
 supersensltive people are often physi- cally affected by odors, scarcely percep- tible to others; highly temperamental peo- pIe and nearly all animals quickly be- ccme conscious of another person or another animal in their vicinity; sub conscious or self-protectiye instinct warns them when the five senses are off guard.
 And so with people whom one does not like; suspicion of them IS nstanuy aroused some warning of incompatlpi- ity comes even when those who ex- nerience the emotion cannot explain why, when, or how.
 Personally, those disliked may be as harmless as doves: perhaps they Wouiu not hurt fly; but their characterlstlcs ana your personality are as oil anu water; they simply will not mix; the very closest association leaves both as it found them, separate and antagonls- tic. the flame from torchdlpped III oil will not ignite torch dipped III water. ...
 And so thought comes that sometimes we would like to pin a rose of reneni- brance on the angel robe of that oXtoro student and wit" of the seventeenth century who said:
 ''I do not love thee, Doctor Fell,
 The reason why, I cannot tell;
 But this 1 know, and know full Weh'

37 Railroads Ask for
 ] Big Advances in July

Washington, August Thirty seven railroads in July found it necessary to call on the railroad administration for advances either as outright loans, as partial payments of government com pensation or to help them pay back wages due employees.

 Of the advances in July, 23,269, oot was allowed to pay back wages ot $1 3.607.0 900, as demand loans at pel cent interest, and $6,s2s,o00 as partia payments of government compensa tion.

C1 OMETIMES body feels like pin rNl ming rose" of remembrance upon the angel robe of that English OK ford student and "wit" of the seven teenth century whom Addison called Thomas Brown of Facetious Memory"
 This same Thomas Brown was the person, if you recall who entered so com pletely and absolutely into antiquities.
 It was this same Thomas Brown, if you remember who, threatened by one "Dr. Fell, of Christ college, with expulsion, wrote those illumining lines:
 T do not love thee, Doctor Fell.
 The reason why, I cannot tell;
 But this l know, and know full well,
 l do not love thee, Doctor Fell
 Verify people may discipline their minds to almost any old thing in the world, except liking people they do not like, cannot like and will not like, yet if called sharply to account for such an antipathy, one might be forced to rather helplessly admit that no just cause existed for such an uncharitable mental attitude, and, alas, the reason why. you cannot tell"
 Occasionally aversion is due to a mis- conception of anothers personality, but more often it is due to some instant and illuminating comprehension that there is personality unsympathetic to ones self
 Aversion between people has nothing whatever to do with class and is gauged by no educational standards whatsoever;

of the fleetest and largest ocean gong sailing ships were built There the packet ships which 50 years or more ago brought prestige to the American merchant ma rine were built. Now the emergency fleet corpora ton learns that in the state of Maine there is honorable rlVairy maintained between the shipbuilders whose shipways are there and the ship builders upon the Pacific coast. Name has already gained records for rapid ship construction. A steamer iWhlch was christened the Cumberland was launehed at one of the Maine shipyards in lSo working days after her keel was lald within four minutes after the Cumber-
 land was launched, the keel Of another ship was placed in position upon the shipways. Machinery installation was begun in one of the ships in 90 minutes after the vessel was launched. On July 5, which was 54 days after the launching of the steamship Andra in a Maine snip yard, the vessel was completely equipped with machinery and ready for sea. Ihat is an astonishingly rapid installation Tn view of the fact that great credit was given to the shipbuilders upon the Pa- cific coast for installing machinery ana boilers and making a vessel ready for thc. sea in a little over three months after the ship was launched.
 There seems to be no reason to doubt the sincerity and authority which are behind MT. Schwab's prediction that within another F months the United States will have built and sent forth upon the ocean a number of vessels so large as not only to make submarine perils of trfling consideration, but also to supply tonnage whereby wheat can be exported from Argentina and Austra- fa to France and Great Britain and

for the position of one of the District
Judges of the Fifth Judicial District
of Idaho, there being two to be cleo
ted, and desire to make a brief state
to the voters of Power county
with reference to my candidacy. BY
virtue of an act of the last legisla-
ture an additional judge was provided
for the Fifth Judicial District. l was
appointed as the additional judge pro-
vided by this act, and therefore at the
text general election you will elect
two district judges instead OF one as
heretofore. from the four candidates
on the ballot for district judge.
In these trying times when the world
is so full of sadness. when the fate
of civilization is hanging in the bal
n and we are trying to conserve
time. money. energy. and everything
else which would make for efficiency
and economy, I take it that any extern
sive campaign. attempting TO call upon
voters personally. entailing the use and
consumption of things and commodl-
ties much more needed for other pur-
poses. would be out Of place. and fer
this reason and in view of the fur
Their fact that my official duties re-
quire practically my daily attention, l
shall have to. and feel that I ought
to. for the most part, present my can
didaey through the press and a linn
tied use Of the L. S. mails.
I take it that the main thing the
voters desire to know with reference
to my candidacy is whether I am, tc
use a common expression, delivering
the goods" What l might say witt

to question, for I am an Interested
person and would be expected TO say
good things about myself. l shall
therefore refrain from the usual self
flattery and say to the voters that as
TO my fitness and qualifications for
District Judge. and as to whether 4
am entitled TO endorsement on my
record as made during the Is months
/ have been one of the District Judges
! refer you to the county officials OF
the different counties in this district
whose duties around and about the
court give them an opportunity to
form a good estimate of a mans quail
%ifications. and also TO the attorneys
of the district. whose duties bring
them into constant touch with the
court. I feel justified. however. in say
ing to the voters that I gave up a good
law practice about IS month ago to &C
cept the appointment of District Judge
and that if 1 have filled the office &C
ceptably, l Ear consistently ask an
endorsement. 1 feel further justified
in saying that I have endeavored to
administer the law fairly. fearlessly.
and impartially. and if elected will
continue so to do.
If after investigating the merits
and qualifications of the different can
didates you feel that you can give me
your support. it would be gratefuliy
appreciated. and if elected l sDall
see that the confidence thus reposeo
in me shall not be misplaced.
