A marriage of interest to many friends throughout Alabama was that of Miss Mary Julia Street, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Oliver H. Street, and Lieut.. Wright Hackett Ross, Jr., which took place yes- terday afternoon at the home of the brides parents at Guntersville.

them to be) and what can you expect of Shaw, of whom somebody has said:
 Poets and prose writers from Sopho- cles to Shelley, have ranted and canted about incest and vice but none has ever dared to intersperse it with humor ex- cept Shaw
 Anyway, as I was about to say, Miss Hamper observed:
 'Of course no dramatist has ever, lived whose heroines compare with Shake speare's heroines; there are no modern playwrights who even approach him; of course MT. Shaws Caesar and Cleopatra was travesty: he made a joke of the play; Sir Johnson Forbes Robertson, to be sure, and his wife, Gertrude Elliott did it wonderfully, but somehow it was a case Of Iese majeste; I don't take Shaw seriously, of course; I don't think he even takes himself seriously; indeed I fancy that when he reads over his manuscripts if the soft pedal has been applied, he at once destroys the play and begins all over again."
 Neither MT. Pinero nor Oscar Wilde both intellectual playwrights-has ap- preached the Shakesperean standard" said Miss Hamper. Augustus Thomas has done the best work of any modern playwright with the exception of MT. Galsworthy, whom I admire extrava- gantly; more than any other play wright of modernity he has achieved results; he is, to my mind, head and shoulders above the rest. He is my choice unreservedly of all the mod ernists.'
 "Of course I am rather prejudiced"

Miss Hamper said, because I have lit. orally been brought up on Shake speare. You see it was this way: I had
 meant to be singer; my mother couraged me in my work and used to take me to hear everybody who was worth whle-Sembrich, Tettrazini. Homer, -Heink-so that l might gain the best Knowledge of real artistry Finally it came about that I was impatient to stop studying and begin to do something on the stage. I
 knew the people connected with the
 opera house out in my western home and there I was engaged by company just during their engagement-so of suping' as it were; 1ater-in fact, very short time afterward-Mr. Mantell played an engagement there and I was booked for a small part the result was that Mr., Mantell engaged me and went with his company seven years ago. The Shakesperean repertoire was given and I played small parts like Jessica for instance i'll The Merchant
 of Venice.' and then"
 Her pretty brown eyes were lowered and the faintest blush diffused her lsweet, young face and I knew what she meant by, "and then;' it was her romance--the romance which ended by this beautiful young woman becoming the wife of the great actor, whose Heading lady" she has been ever since in more ways than one!
 Julia Marlowe has been my ideal" Miss Hamper said. "She spells, to my mind, the perfect Shakespearean hero (Continued on Page Thirteen)

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF
 ENGINEERS CORPS
 RECEIVED IN CITY
Copies of Go La La Times Read With Much Interest in City-Christmas Festivities at the Front
 Described

The fourth number of the 100 La La Times" the official publication of the Seventeenth railway engineers now in France, has reached Birmingham. Copies of this interesting newspaper published so near the firing line are read with avidity in Birmingham be- cause there are so many Birmingham and Alabama boys in this regiment, which is commanded by Col. John S. Sew ell, formerly head of the Alabama Marble company.
 The fourth number bears date of January 1 and is devoted almost en- tirely to accounts of the regiments great Christmas tree, which was given in the city near which it is stationed for the benefit of several thousand French children. The writers who de- scribe the event almost ran out of adjectives in telling what success tho Christmas tree was and the only lament seems to be that after several thousand dolls and boxes of candy had been distributed there were few hun- dred left out and the regiment had to get them to wait day or two un- til they could get more gifts The front page contains a picture of the tree and crowd surrounding it which de- serves credit as a mighty good pieco of newspaper work considering the handcaps under which the boys are issuing their paper.

What Is Your Part in the Harvest
 for War?
OVER THE CROP
By w. H. J. TAYLOR President of the Retail Credit Mems National Association

President of the Retail Credit Mems

 Napoleon said that Fan army travels on it's stomach;" the motive power Is the measure of the resources behind the army.
 We have undertaken to send mill lions of men to Europe and are spend- Ing millions of dollars to do 1t. Spend- Ing, not boarding. To supply them with food, shelter and clothing takes huge sums of money, which we are raising here and spending there; pay ing for the performance of work well done. Every earner possesses the spending power, the power of the dol lar to make others work.
 We are fortunate. We will have he biggest crops of natural products in our history. These will need gath ering, transportation, housing This means work, the creation of still bigger crop-that dollar crop. It is only the gleanings of this second crop that the government gathers in taxes. It is from our surplus work that we buy bonds: and then in turn all this great crop comes back to us. We get more than our share of the harvest; let us pass 1t on.
 This we can do best by properly
 
 spending, keeping the country busy. It is not strange, that nations prosper in wartime, for everyone has work to do; some have it literally thrust upon them. What peace has never done war has accomplished-eli elimination of the bread line.
 The motive power of the army gains strength every day. spending power, the power to make more and pay more The nation is busy and all is well at the front. The well-generaled army is backed by the general well fare of the country That way lies victory.
 Waste must go, but thrift has come. Saving thrift, spending thrift, the the thriving by good management.
 Our fighters will have nothing to fear Equipped and backed by the crop, our boys truly will go over the top.

BETTER FARMING HINTS

Uurqed to Plant Oats on Every Farm
 Arkansas farmers must do every thing in their power to increase the amount of vailable feed for live stock and they are urged to plant winter oats by the specialists with the Ex- tension Division of the University of Arkansas, who say that this crop will not only produce large quanti- ties of feed and is good emergency measure at this time, but the oat crop can be followed by cowpeas which may be seeded for hay or for blowing under to be followed by oats or wheat, or with rye for winter

hundreds of farmers are planning to grow wheat to supply home needs during the coming year. As a con sequence, a great deal of unknown seed is being offered for sale, and as a warning against indiscriminate buy ing, W. c. Lasseter, director, says:
 'It is far better to buy seed of a variety known to have made good in the local community and from a farmer or miller in the state, who is reliable, rather than buy quantities of high priced seed from unknown parties and doubtful sources. In every case, however, it will pay to treat seed wheat for smut, and grow CTS should write to the college of agriculture for farmers bulletin No. 939, which describes the method of

pasture and this in turn to be plow- ed under in the spring and the field to be planted to corn or cotton. It should be remembered that the oats and wheat should be treated for smut before planting, and wherever possible a flaming mill should be used to eliminate cheat, dirt, and broken and light grain. Make prep arations for winter oats now. Ordi. narily it is not safe to seed winter oats after October 20 in North Ark ansas, or November 1. in Southern Arkansas. Prepare the seed bed we'll and use the drill if possible.

Don't Sell Cotton in the Seed

Don't sell cotton in the seed This practice is a cause of loss to many Arkansas farmers every year. No buyers can determine the grade, the per cent lint, or the shrinkage due to moisture, of seed cotton. For this reason all buyers of such cotton must buy at low figures to avoid risk. It is a safe guess that cotton sold in the seed brings ten dollars per bale less than 1t is worth.

Put In a Fall Garden

to begin, it is time to SOW beets lettuce, radishes, spinach and kale. See that the soil is made rich and put in the best possible condition be. fore sowing the seed It will pay you. Only few short rows of vege- tables will be sufficient for the need of the average family,v says J. s. Knox, horticulturist with the Univer. sity of Arkansas.
 ''It is not yet too late to SOW turnips for late fall and winter use and it will be well to plant them right away. Early Purple Top Milan or Early Flat Dutch are excellent varieties for fall growing. Some of the glove varieties may also be sown if desired. The old reliable Seven Top is probably best for producing salad in the spring. Try few.
 By all means prepare and plant a small patch of cabbage for use during late fall and early winter. By proper storage they can be kept until the winter is far gone and some varieties, like All Season, will stand in the open in. southern portions of the state until the Christmas holidays are past.

COMPLAINT ON KNITTING.

The following letter is self explana-
tory. and is published for the purpose
of securing closer attention on the
part of all knitters:
Seattle, Washington, April 4th, 1918.
The Chairman Power County Chapter,
American Red Cross, American Falls,
Idaho. Dear Madam-We are in re-
ceipt Of a report from the knitting in
spector at the Red Cross bureau of
supplies in regard to the work sent
in from your chapter.
The sweaters were good on the
average but some were too large.
They should be twenty-five inches
long and Is to Is inches wide.
The socks would have made a much
better appearance If the washing had
been more carefully done. If lux is
used it makes the yarn much softer
We were glad to note a number OF
perfect Kitchener toes but we hope
there will be more of them. Some OF
the toes not only did not have Kitch-
ener toes but did not have good toes
of any kind. Hard Jumps and ridges
should not be passed.
Thanking you for your cooperation
