Farmers Are on the Job

q have just returned from my home down in Coosa county" said B. S. Sam uels. examiner in charge of the farm labor department at the local agency of the United States employment serv- ice, and l enjoyed my vacation. I had all the fried chicken I could eat and plenty of fruit. We have several hun dred bushels of good winter apples and Kieffer pears gathered from our own orchard.
 Sunday I went to a real, sure enough baptizing in q large stream whose muddy waters reminds one of the River Jordan. We had a good service at the baptizing and when this was over I took advantage of the opportunity to speak to a large crowd and made a short talk along the line of the iur- gent necessity of working full time, and l believe the farmers are going to do their duty.
 T am now back on the job and as cotton is opening the farmers will soon want help to pick it. The United States employment service will secure help for all farmers who notify us how many and what kind of help they want"

Time for Winter Carden

The smell of burning leaves along time to get in a winter garden, as the dropping leaves are forerunners of early fall" said J. S. Boggs, who raises little of everything on his small farm in way of poultry and live stock.
 As soon as the ground is moist thing that likes cold weather, among which are collards, savory cabbage, tur- nips, Chinese Rose radishes, kale, spin ach, lettuce, onions and last but not least dwarf rape. The latter is the hardest and best all round winter green that grows according to my way of thinking. It is fine for table greens, makes the best of range for hogs and poultry, and will stand cold that kills collards. It can be broadcasted and narrowed in or sowed in rows and fer tilized where it can be worked, under which conditions it will grow to be a miniature collard. It can then be pulled up and fed to hogs or poultry. Rape fed to hens, with plenty of beef scraps, is the whole secret to winter eggs. l have also mixed rye and rape and broadcasted the two and then grazed hogs on it.
 'Of course, the other winter stuff must be planted in rows, fertilized and worked. And they all taste fine with piece of side meat cooked in them, and some cornhraad on the side all of which sticks to your ribs"

ment not to allow any milk sold that contains more than five hundred thou sand bacteria per cubic centimeter. x
 Eminent authorities declare that raw milk, when pure, is more health ful, particularly for children, than milk which has had some of it's life giving properties destroyed by being boiled. The failure of the Strauss plan in New York is case in point. No method of destroying bacteria yet discovered leaves milk as healthful and as rich as when it comes pure and fresh from the COW.
 These facts being vouched for by eminent authorities, why would it rot be more sensible to strike at the source of the evil instead of building a plant to purify impure milk? If rigid inspections are made of the dairies in this district and laws to regulate them are strictly enforced a pure milk supply will be assured.

s. k s. Rigid Inspections Would Insure Pure Milk Supply

NAIRYMEN contend that the pas ~ teurization plant which it is proposed to establish in Birmingham for pasteurizing all milk from local dairies before it is sold to the public would mean the practical confiscation of their property and the destruction of their herds.
 In discussing the claim made by the city health department that milk now sold here contains three million bac- teria per cubic centimeter, w. E.. Matthews, prominent dairyman, scores telling point. He wants to know why this condition exists when t is the duty of the health depart

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

when some men go on vacation the rest of the office or shop force feel that they are having one, too. Are you that Kind of man?
 This is the greatest country in the world. The only, trouble with it is that per cent of the population has the back ing of Congress in it's endeavor to act as mentor for the other 95 per cent.
 The old-fashioned man who voted his state dry and then got four quarts and a ccrkscrew for s4 from a mail order booze house, now buys A worth of Jamaica ginger a week and has to supply his own corkscrew
 As a rule, job is dirtier and harder than position. But the average job pays more money than the average po- sition
 And if man did know himself. maybe he would be forced to admit that he wasn't acquainted with very much.
 You may imagine that small boy makes blame fool of himself over his first watch But you should pay little attention to the way grown man acts over his first automobile. The average man finds it so hard to save money when he is single that he
 doesn't see any use in trying to save
 after he gets married. A mother simply has to worry. When the temperature is about 100 she gets up in the middle of the night and throws a spread on the children so they won't catch cold.
 Few men fail to take advantage of op- portunities to do the things they should not do. When boob calls on a girl and she has to set and yawn and listen to him pull off two-hour monologue on his ability and his prospects, she isn't inter ested half as much in his welfare as she is in his farewell.
 Isn't it remarkable how many of the necessities of today were classed among tho luxuries of yesterday? Cheer up! Maybe if you had had your own way and could do just as you pleased. you would be in the pen now. l. Far be it from us to hint that they are out for the filthy dough. But you may have noticed that the reformer and the sawdust evangelist always move on .a the next town when the gate receipts begin to run low.

THE PIRATES IN THE CARIBBEAN

prize crew. started for the nearest safe and to sell the prize. But before he had sailed far a fleet of Spanish men, appeared. Resistance was useless and the pirate found himself captive in the hold of the Spanish flagship loaded with chains. He was taken to Cuba and there condemned to be hanged.
 Bartholeny was not the kind of man who would submit to being hanged if ne could prevent it. He groped about the hold in which he was imprisoned and. finding an cid file, managed tofrid him self of his chains. Then he found two empty jars and tying these together. made life preserver. With knife and his improvised life saving device he awaited the coming of his jaier for lie had determined that even though he could not swim he was going to plurse into the s"a. .sas,
 The jailer never returned after opening the hatchwav and descending, and Bar tholemy plunged over the side of -he ship and reached the shore. The next problem was to escape the searchers le knew would be sent out. To avoid them he concealed himself for several days in marsh. Convinced that the search had been abandoned, he went along the shore by night toward pirates haven.
 His troubles were just beginning, how ever, for he came to a wide river, whish he could nor swim. Bu. fortune favored him again and he discovered some blanks, with which he constructed raft and ferrieI himself across the river
 On the ether shore new dangers awaited him. He found himself in a forest which grew in water too deep to walk through and the uEdergrowth too dense to pene- trate. He made his way by climbing from tree tlanch to tree branch ard finally reached the place where he was welcomed by pirate colony
 Bartholemy's story is typical of the ad- venturers of the seventeenth century, when the black flag with it's skull and cross bones was quite as much to be 4x- pected in West Indian waters as the flags of the kings of Europe.
