SAYS ABE TO MAWRUSS

man goes into the army from q good home, understand, not only he gets home sick from the heart and the stom- aeh, Abe, but he also gets homesick for tiled bathroom, steam heat, hot and cold running water, his Saturday night pinochle game, and even in a case like yours, Abe, you might go so far as to get homesick for your partner
 "oser" Ape exclaimed.
 But aside from his friends and fam fly. Abe" Morris went on, there ain't nothing that an American soldier is likely to get homesiclz for which them united war work fellers wouldn't SUD- ply him with. In fact, Abe, when you consider what the united war work peo- pie has got fixed up to make you com fortable in your off moments ain't bit worried about how you would come out"
 T know you ain't,'" Abe agreed, and you wouldn't be, not if you thought l was going into a front line trench to- morrow
 T would be just so much worried about you as you would be about me-" Morris retorted, which I bet you could lay rotting in German prison camp for years already and you wouldn't got ta take so much as five grains of aspirin for the sleeep you would lose over it.'
 Why should I?, Abe said. "The r. M, c. A. would look after you, and may be the Knights of Columbus and the Jewish Welfare board also. Besides, if you feel that way about it, now is -ths time to provide against such risks To- day yet while you have got the money. Mawruss, pay every dollar you can af- ford to the united war work campaign Don't hesitate to come across with just as big sum as if you would be go- ing to be benefited .by it personally in the next six months.'
 "Say!" Morris said, T am not going to give to this here united war work campaign with any idea of getting my moneys worth out of it. I am going to contribute the way anybody else would do it-for the sake of the American sol diers and sailors of every kind and de- scription-and that means a Buddhist, a relation, or a stranger
 And how about partner?" Abe asked.
 When it comes to contributing to such a big cause like the united war work campaign" Morris concluded, "I ain't got no prejudices against even a partner"

ONE HoHENzoLLERN REMAINS

ONE HOHENZOLLERN REMAINS
 From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 It is bad time for kings. In Germany kingships are dropping like ripe apples, Constantine of Greece and the Czar went out long ago Ferdinand and Boris ot Bulgaria and Charles of Austria Hun gary have recently been extinguished. So many Kings and Emperors have fallen by the wayside that the whole King business seems more or less in disrepute.
 Yet there is another side. Albert of people but by all the democratic peoples of the world as one of the most splendid heroes of the war Victor Emmanuel of Italy, who has gone through all the sui ferings of the war with his men, has strengthened royalty in Italy. George of England, never posing as military leader has borne himself finely through out the struggle, and his place as visible symbol of the unity of the British em-1 pire is firmer than ever. The Crown Prince of Serbia, who has personally led his armies to triumph is the idol of his nation and of all the south Slavs who will soon be united under his leadership,
 There is another King whose future is, probably assured. Long in eclipse. Ferdi- hand of Roumania is soon to emerge Perhaps no other King has endured greater wretchedness than Ferdlnahd' He resisted as long as Roumania hs" the most meager chance against hef enemies. but since the signing of the infamous treaty of Bucharest he has been a vassal of Germany. and mas sur fered the bitterest indignities.
 King Ferdinand is a Hohenzollern. and in Bucharest the family which sought to rule the world may yet for many gen erations rule a grateful and contented nation. When Roumania entered the war Ferdinand utterly repudiated his Hohenzollernism. and he has proved himself wholly a Roumanian. He and his beautiful Queen have retained the af- lection of the Roumanian people and the admiration of the world. Cursed by the Prussian Hohenzollerns as renegade and a traitor to the family interests tho Rumanian monarch today may regard with contemptuous pity the man who was Kaiser, the man who sought ts crush out of existence the Roumanian people and their King. It is a freakish l turn of fates wheel that has made the disowned and diseredited Hohenzollern the sole remaining royal parsonage of the family and the sole hope of future Ho- henzollern greatness

Anybody which wouldn't sub M. c.

day, November 28, as Thanksgiving Day, lays stress, of course, on the ending of the war as the special and moving cause for the observance of the annual holiday, The nation has been blessed with bountiful food pro duction, for which the people, col lectively and individually, will mani fest their gratitude; but the cessation of hostilities in the bloodiest of wars in the worlds history will make Thursday of next week the most memorable of all Thanksgivings. The President always calls upon the people to assemble in their accus- toned places of worship and there unite in suitable services of praise. This command is usually needed only by the more devout members of the various churches. The majority of the people lose sight of the religious character of the day. Many celebrate it either by going on a deer hunt or attending football game.
 An effort should be made this year to fill the churches. There should not be a vacant seat in any city church. Only by a religious observance will the spirit of the Presidents proclama- tion be carried, out.

To Banquet on
 Fruits and Nuts

61HE Alabama Horticultural So-
 l ciety's meeting to be held at Auburn December 11-12 will be an event of unusual interest.
 The banquet at the opening session will be unique, for the reason that everything. served, with few excep- tions, will consist of nuts or some kind of fruit-all grown in this state. Prof. J. F. Duggar, director of the extension service, says the idea is to show just what valuable food prod ucts fruits and nuts are. It is be- |lieved "that a banquet of this kind will accomplish more with reference to this matter than whole weeks talk about it."
 It is expected that most of our progressive nurserymen, fruit grow CTS and truckers will attend the meet ing. Those who cannot be present are urged to send the products of garden or orchard for exhibit. Every county in the state should be represented in this greatest of all horticultural shows planned for Alabama.
 Steady strides have been made in this state horticulturally as well as agriculturally. And the keener the interest in the Auburn meet the great CT will be the strides in the future.

hunt brought to them by a big lynx.

where a lynx had killed deer and
he stopped near by and sat upon an
overturned tree to rest, when he
heard cracking in the brush and
growing on the hillside. Thinking
II came from wolves some distance
up the hill, he paid little attention
to II until the animal began to hiss
and upon rising to his feet he was
confronted with a Blk lynx within a

The animal measured abou: five

official grades promulgated for mill

half more pounds of wool in Aug
ust than in July, 1918 August fig
ures being 63.9OO,OOO pounds, grease
equivalent, compared to 62,30O, 900
in July. Monthly consumption has
averaged about 67,OO0OOO pounds,
grease equivalent, since January /,
1918.
Stocks of wool consumed in Aug
ust in pounds, by classes, as given
by the Bureau of Markets, were:
Grease, S7769,216; secured, H.
732,697; and pulled, 2,014,544. The
reports show Massachusetts still
leading in wool used, followed by
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode
Island, New York, New Hampshire
Ohio, Connecticut, and Maine.
According to the latest available
information on wool textile machin-
cry equipment there are 6,377' wool
en- cards and 2,26S combs in the U.
S. The three firms whose reports
are not included in the consumption
figures have combined capacity of

The seriousness of the "cootie
problem" - demanding attention
from American Army officers and
scieytists in this country and abroad
is indicated in experiments recent
ly completed by an entomologist of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. These experiments sup
port the belief that the fecundity Of
the body louise has been greatly un-
derestimated.
In period of 20 days one "coot-
lie" deposited 276 eggs-an average
of II day-with maximum of II
in "a hours. The period from depo-
sition of the eggs to the final molt
was 10 days. Only 16 days elapsed
in the period of development from an
egg to the egg-laying adult.
The "wristlet method" was used
in this experiment. The entomoli-
gist watched the emergence of the
larvae from eggs, and allowed the
larve to feed from his arm thru the
periods of their life cycle.
