N x Y Peanuts And Choice Orchard Products

M1oT many years ago the peanut 0 N was classed with the minor crops, but not so now. It is one of the most important of farm products and it is a noteworthy fact that Ala bama, where the goober was once negligible, leads all the states in this years yield-upwards of twenty mil- lion bushels.
 Horticultural specialists of the ex- tension service say that the soil and climate of Alabama make it possible to grow as good peaches and apples as can be grown anywhere. Virginia is famed for it's apples, and so is Oregon, but Marshall county, in Ala bama, has produced a winesap that is superior in color and flavor to any of the best varieties of the widely known apple states.
 "How long will Alabama people permit fruit growers in other sections to get rich selling apples in this state --one of the finest apple-growing states in the union?" writes a spe- cialist.
 The department of horticulture of the Alabama extension service, Au- burn, invites correspondence. An abundance of information on fruit growing will be gladly sent to all Ala bama orchardists.
 Let's make this the great winesap state as it is now the leading peanut state.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

It is only natural that single girls giggle more than do their married sis ters. What the hek has married woman got to giggle about?
 A man never realizes what dummy he is until one of the children asks him question like: (Which is latitude and which is longitude?" And then he has to stall around and pretend that he is too busy to answer such simple ques- tion.
 Some people seem to imagine that the ups and downs of life mean talking yourself up and running other people down.
 At that the questions asked by child ren are not always as foolish as are the answers given by the parents.
 So spend your nights that when you get up in the morning you can look at yourself in the mirror without feeling ashamed of yourself.
 Even though you hate man, don't knock him. No matter how onery he may be, he usually has enough friends ito take his part and gain you reputa- ton as knocker.
 What has become of the old fashioned hog who explained his overeating by saying that he didn't want to die in
 debt to his stomach? The wise bird who haw-haws at the
 idea of any kid believing in Santa Claus is often the same boob who buys min- ing stocks and believes that the com pany will come around in December and pay him $10 for each 10 cents he in |vested
 And what has become of the old fashioned eugenic marriage system that Twas going to make an ideal stock farm out of this nation? When a wife tells her husband that she simply must have $l0, she is in hope that maybe she can make him come across with dollar. Father. who turns the electric lights Io on, is always bowling about the size oi ithe light bill. But mother. who turns the lights out, does lot of thinking and doesn't say much. When they quit trying to strangle ons another when they are saying good-b, l in the morning. and he pecks at her fact with his lips and she pecks at his facs with her lips, and she notices that h' lhas bristles on his chin, and he notices | that she has fuxz on her cheek. thu honeymoon crawls into the garbage car

character take to Middle March" or "Theophrastus Such" but who could fail to be stirred and softened by Mill on the Floss" or Adam Bede 2" And as for Dickens, what young man could start to read David Copper field" "Oliver Twist" or Nicholas Nickleby" and not finish it? But the director of the war service does not wish to convey the impression that the authors named and other good books of fiction are not acceptable. He says that older officers and men are glad to reread standbys they had no time in civil life to review.
 A large percentage of the soldiers seem to care only for tales of adven- ture full of "hot stuff" All the books sent as gifts to the war libraries are carefully examined and those not suit able are discarded. Men of aspiration ask for histories, biographies and works of social and political science, religion and philosophy.
 More than three million books have been collected from libraries and placed in circulation, but in order to supply textbooks of technical and educational nature S3,500,00 is to be allotted from the united war work campaign fund to the Library War service. It is a comparatively small sum, but it will suffice. Every dol lar will be judiciously expended.
 J. W. Donnelly of Birmingham as state chairman of the American Library associations war council is dcsirous of getting the library phase of the work clearly before the public, feeling as he does that "the more many-sided the appeal the greater will be the common success"
 The presentation of all aspects of the book side of army life found in the booklet is distinctly convincing and should be generously distributed.

Time Has Come to
 Part With Autocracy

TT HE Kaiser may call his war-lords 4 together and harangue them in- dividually and collectively, as he is re- ported to have done, in recent dis patch, but the word has been spoken which will send him into oblivion.
 Old customs die hard. It has taken the world thousands of years to out grow the king idea. Since time imme- morial puppets on thrones, and strong men, too, have swayed the destinies of nations at will, sending their sub jects to slaughter for the perpetuation of their own power and glory.
 It required the cataclysm brought on by the present war to write the last chapter in the history of autocracies. |The American people find it hard to comprehend how the German people have been so completely dominated by
 
 their royal masters that they have been brought to the verge of ruin. Yet, even the German people are at Hast aroused and whether they shake off their letters themselves or con- tinue subservient until the Hohenzol- l ferns are eliminated by the allies, they are on the road toward democracy. We shall continue to have kings, of course, such as England has, and Belgium and Italy, but there will be no more absolute monarchies holding nations in subjeetion to the will of one man. The constitutional monafchies of our allies are in fact representative governments, such as we have. Thanks to the exigencies of war our own Pres | |ident yields far greater power than any king who sits on throne, but lit was given to him by the people
 whom he represents and for whom he speaks in all national affairs. | The world is being made safe for de- mocracy, not for few years, but for all time. The Kaiser is the last of the
 autocrats.

 AND ELSEWHERE
"chauncey'As Mother

"out of justice to her, I want to say that Mrs. Coyn, mother of "Chaun- cey,n (Morris Dayis) the newsboy, who died a few days ago, had not deserted him. said Judge s. D, Murphy of the juvenile court yesterday
 Though he was often brought into my court, it was never for misoe- meanor, but that we might help him. His mother, who lives in Cincinnati, had him up there with her, but the environment did not suit him and ne camo back to Birmingham. In fact, no place seemed to suit him like the Magic City Once he was persuadea to go out into the country, where he could have earned livelihood very easily, but he stayed only very short while"

Price of Preaching Unchanged

"Everything has gone up since the war began except the price of preach ing" said A w. Briscon, the preacher lawyer of Lafayette, Who IS the sen ator- elect from his district.
 q say this because I am not depeno- ent upon my ministry for my living, and therefore can take up the question of better salaries for preachers With out it being thought that l am spe- cial pIeader for myself. If the dollar has been cut in two, how can churenes expect their pastors to live on the sal aries they were getting in pre- war times? It's time for business men to see the injustice and not continue to make the ministry suffer and sacrifice. Laymen can and ought to take up the matter as the preachers will starve be- fore they will do it.'

Stressing Necessity Of
 Food Conservation

61HE educational director of the
 ll United States food administra- tion for Alabama, R. H. Mangum,
 writes a letter to The Age-Herald in
 which he comments it's editorial of
 recent date-"Intensive Farming Must
 Be the Rule" He refers to it as "a
 very concise and strong presentation
 of a matter of vital interest" He suggests that the question be fol lowed up by calling the attention of
 the people to the fact that no matter lhow intensive our farming efforts may be for the next year, we cannot hope to increase to any great extent our food crops. Continuing the edaca- tional director says:
 In view of the large withdrawals , of labor from the plantations by the draft and war industries, we must feel that we have reached the peak of production until year, or possibly two years. after peace is declared. Hence, we must look to our people and especially our house. wives for much larger measure of economy and conservation in the I use of food if we are to meet the obligation assumed by our Presi- l dent when he instructed Mir Hover
 to say to our allies at the food con 1 ference held in London during the summer, "The American people are | glad to make any sacrifice in con- l sumption and in the production of foodstuffs that will maintain the health, comfort and courage of the

Eager Demand For
 Books In Army

1HHE American Library association
 ll is doing valuable work in the army and navy through it's we'll or ganized war service branch. Books are being donated in large numbers by the owners of extensive private libraries.
 An interesting and informing booklet has been issued by the association. Under the caption, "What the Soldiers Read" we are told that tour fighting men read everything" All kinds of men are in our army and navy, rang ing from university professors and Ph. D.'s to day laborers. Soldiers, it is stated, read more than people in civil life, partly because they are away from home and "need diversion, 7 and partly because they are preparing themselves for profession. In most camps the call for fiction is little below 50 per cent" Tine soldier reads to learn even more than he reads for recreation"
 In fiction Jack London, Rex Beach, Rudyard Kipling, o. Henry, Mark Twain, Conan Doyle, Booth Parking ton and Rider Haggard are among the favorites. It is said that few sol dies read Dickens, Thackeray, Trol- lope or George Eliot. Only men who find a charm in subtle analysis of

Regulates Soft Drink Sales

They are taking every precaution against Spanish influenza in Tuscaloosa, said J. A. Penney.
 While down there a few days ago stepped into a grocery store to get soft drink. I noticed that the proprietor seemed rather dilatory about selling it, saying that he didn't have any on ice told him that would make no diff ference, that it would be cold enough anyway When he finally decided to sell it to me he told me that I could not open it in the store; that I would have to take it out upon the street to drink it. They won't sell ice cream at all"

 I am thinking often of pr. Phillips ana how he has been put to 1t since the
 burning of the high school to care for the physical comfort of the ever grow ing crowd of students Hooking to finish their courses in the temporary struc- lures erected on the southside. The pres
 ent arrangement being vast improve ment on the makeshift of using churches
 and other public buildings.
 But if he is put to 1t to supply the room for the pupils to study and reciee lin what must be his task to find teacn- CTS to i'll all the places in Greater bir- mingham. He and the board of eau cation need the best thought or us all to work out plans to meet the pressing today problems which they are so lbravely facing. Let's stand by him ana them in their arduous duties. The schools arc ours. It's up to each of us
 to be governed accordingly
 If q big city is put to it's wits end to care for the situation. what must the country and the smaller towns do to
 meet it. I'll tell you what Goodwater iis doing. I was invited to make pa
 triotic address to the school and gladly accented I walked up to the crest of lthe htll to where the schoolhouse com
 manded a lovely view. l was met and
 shown into the auditorium. Now here lis the strange thing. There wasn't a man in sight.
 l Goodwater has put it's school into the charge of women and right bravely they are meeting the burden put upon ehem Mrs. Charles s. Bentley is the principal and she is assisted by some splendid workers.
 The mon are going to the war or being drawn into the great commercial and industrial enterprises and so the women are not being drafted but vol iunteering to attend to the education of the young. If every community is as well served as Is Goodwater then there should be mo worry" because women lare taking on ever increasing respon- Isibilities in the educational world
