 There widespread regret however among both advocates opponents of the amendment that they not given opportunity directly this question There is every indication that by this plan the amendment would have been ratified overwhelmingly.
 Committeeman held the belief that method adopted will the amendment question from the politics of most the counties of the state because there will be candidates on the anti-amendment side in such counties
 The AgeHerad still hopes that regardless of the amend ment question the voters will keep in mind the fitness of the who offer for and for the legislature Those must be chosen who capable of handling other big questions confronting the state outside the realms of the prohibition question.
 Alabama wants legislature which will retain the present prohibition laws and which will seadfasy refuse to allow the return of liquor to Alabama But this state also office with broad vision and the ability the financial and other problems which pressing for solution.

Chief of Staff to
 Be Full General

MMAJ.-GEN. PETITION c. MARCH, GV4 who has been acting chief of staff of the United States army for several months, has been nominated by the President for the grade of general, and Maj.-Gen. Tasker H Bliss, who had served as chief of staff and later had rendered distinguished service under General Pershing in France, has been nominated for brevet general.
 Upon the Senate's confirmation of General March there will be two full generals in the army for the first time in the history of the regular es- tablishment. While the attention of America is focused on General Persh- ing. the office of chief of staff in time of war carries with it large re- responsibilities and Congress did vel in authorizing the President to con. fer upon him full generals rank.

Farmers Warned
 Against I1npostors

~ c. STARCHER, state horticul- NJ turist, is thoroughly convinced that there is a wonderful opportunity for the development of the farm orchard in Alabama. There are many good nurserymen in the state as we'll as nearby states, from whom trees may be purchased with reasonable assurance that they are true to name and in fairly heal thy condition. But attention is called to the fact that nurserymen are "cre- ating havoc by the use of fraudulent methods and the sale of worthless trees"
 Mr. Starcher has issued circular in which farmers are warned against what is termed "bare-faced fraud" It has been reported to the office of the state horticulturist that nursery firms have their representatives busy in certain parts of Alabama selling orchards of an acre or more to farm CTS with the promise that, for given sum, probably forty dollars, they will supply the owner of the land with tyees, prune and spray them for three years, free of charge. "We have never known of a single instance" says Mir. Starcher, "where such contracts were carried out in good faith"
 It is manifestly the proper thing for the farmer to do when intending to purchase fruit trees, to take the mat ter up with the official horticulturist who will be pleased to furnish list of authorized nurserymen in the state Not only so, but he has for free dis tribution orchard plans showing the varieties recommended for planting in Alabama and the approximate price which should be paid for the trees.
 Food and fruit production are be- coming business-like and the closer the gardener or agriculturist keeps in touch with Auburn, whose agents are ever alert, the more satisfactory will be the results.

 The same act of Congress that pro- Ivided for a revival of the grade of general authorizes the creation of corps in Pershing's army when it be- comes large enough to demand such a system, each corps to be commanded 1 by lieutenant general As Ameri- can troops in great numbers are being hurried to France, it will not be long before the corps organization will be announced. It is understood that at least half dozen lieutenant generals will be commissioned within the next lsix months.
