Creamery Industry
 and Its Possibilities

M FEW days ago The Age-Herald, GA in discussing the value of the creamery industry, pointed to Missis- sippi with twenty-two commercial creameries in operation as the lead ing butter state of the south. Ala bama was credited with only four creameries, and the attention of pro- gressive business men was called to the opportunity offered in this field for large and profitable increase in this line of activity.
 Col. Sam Will John, widely known lawyer and farmer of practical ex- perience, writes a letter to The Age Herald from his office in Montgom- cry, in which he agrees with the proposition that "the dairy business is an industry we'll worth developing" He regards 1t as "the most profitable of all agricultural industries, as it brings in ready money all through the year and enriches the land," but he seeks to show by the Markets Journals published list that Alabama has sev- enteen creameries now in operation.
 While no legitimate business is too small to deserve recognition and en- couragement, the governments field agent, who is looking after creamery production in Alabama and Missis- sippi, doubtless had only large con- mercial creameries in mind when he gave out recent statistics setting forth the number in this state as four against Mississippi's twenty-two.
 Colonel John takes "a good deal of pleasure and pride" in calling atten- tion to the fact that at "the last ex- hibition of butter from creameries in Georgia and Alabama, and probably Mississippi, held at Atlanta, the but ter made at Selma Creamery was awarded the first place."
 Selma, still noted for it's butter in- dustry, sets good example for other cities situated in districts where dairy cows thrive. Alabama has a larger number of enterprising business men in direct contact with agricultural interests than ever before, and it is believed that in comparatively short time this state will have first rank in the operation of extensive cream cries.
 Such industrial expansion would add immeasurably to the wealth of the state.

 "I am the Alabama representative of the Murray Gin company, and find Birmingham the best place from which the past few years many gins have been allowed to run down. but I be- lieve with the high price of cotton that more farmers are going to plant 1t than they did last year, and if the boil weevil fails to get in his work. 1t will mean the fixing up of many plants which have been practically idle since 1914"

To Discuss Question
 of English Speech :.

M IL the topics set down for dis H cussion at the Alabama Educa- tional associations annual convention to be held here March 2S-30 are worth while, and many of them of vital in- Iterest to school principals and teach |ers.
 Pedagogy as a profession is ever advancing. The ideals of educators have always been high and the mod ern instructor was never so eager to learn the last word in classroom methods as now.
 The coming together of the mem- bers of the Educational association for an exchange of ideas and getting in contact with distinguished visitors,
 who will deliver addresses or make timely talks" can but have fine stimulating effect and result in direct benefit to the entire school world, Foreign language and vocational |training are much in vogue these days, as they should be, but is not English being neglected in some quarters? The slips in grammar which many young people, supposed to be educated, make in conversation, would seem to indicate a falling back in the treatment of the mother tongue. l Assuming that all school teachers
 are qualified to impart a thorough
 knowledge of English grammar and i give pupils start in English com
 position, not enough attention, per Ihaps, is paid to correction. Unless
 children are corrected, either al
 school or at home, they will grow ur
 with the habit of ungrammatical lspeech, and when such habit is once
 formed it is hard to overcome.

No Apology to Anyone"

The following statement from Dr.
 Whitten was received by the editor of The Age-Herald yesterday. The headline appearing above was written on the article. The Age-Herald takes great
 pleasure in printing this statement: Tn spirit of the greatest kindness, as one of the pastors of this city in whose church Dr, George w. Young of Kentucky spoke against the greatest bane of civilization last night, I wish to emphatically protest against your dou- ble leaded, double column editorial of this morning on Sunday Dissertation in Birmingham. No man has a higher re- gard for the Sabbath than your corre- spondent. And no one has profounder
 contempt for the legalized liquor traffic. Forty-fve years and more I have seen it's ravages among my people as a pas tor. All these years it's immoral and un-
 many of my church members and their families. The morals of our people are at stake now; and no other one agency threatens the destruction of manhood and womanhood more than the licensed saloon. To fight it's return to this state is not Sabbath dissertation, your opinion
 to the contrary. You have not given as
 much thought, for as many years as the writer to the evils of this agency of the devil to destroy soul and body in hell.
 All sensible people, and you are one of
 our splendid thinkers, admit there is no morality in liquor in any shape or form pr use. shall never offer for fighting liquor or beer. To this pur- pose I shall devote the remainder of my days-preaching against it, writing against it. voting against men who do not fight it; and with my last remain- ling ounce of strength I hope to kick my pulpit shall be free to the men who fight liquor any day especially Sunday. Respectfully, L. r. wFIITTEN' "When motion was made in the Methodist preachers meeting, March IS, deploring the editorial in The Age
 Herald of same date. concerning pull pits used by speakers representing the
 Anti-Saloon league the Sunday preced- ing, Rev. l.. F. Whitten arose and read letter written by him to the editor of The Age-Herald for publication. On motion it was resolved unanimously that every preacher in the two dis tricts, Birmingham and Bessemer,
 should affix his own signature or au- thorize it to be done to Dr. Whitten's paper of protest. The motion was adopted without dissenting vote.
