stated that under the leadership of Youtsey and Jett in the night school and in religious exercises of the prison admirable discipline has been main tained. A spirit of helpfulness and cooperation developed between the prison authorities and inmates of the prison is attributed in large measure to the examples set by Youtsey and Jett.
 For some years an active campaign has been carried on in Kentucky to win freedom for the two men. Minis ters, 'women's organizations and peo- pie in all walks of life have asked for their parole, including the state Legislators. The perfect prison rec ords of Youtsey and Jett convinced Kentuckians, even those who did not palliate the crimes of which they were convicted, that their reform was gen. uine and they should be set at lib- Ierty.

WHY GERMANY IS SORE

From the Washington Star.
 It is quite important to ascertain whether, as ths National Zeitung of Basel, Switzerland, suggests, the Hohen- zollerns were dismissed only because they failed to conquer and not because they violated all the laws of humanity. There is reason to believe that the Swiss paper has correctly estimated the situa- tion. No evidence appears anywhere that the German people are contrite or con science stricken for the abominations practiced in their name and by them under the direction of their former rulers in the progress of the war. Solar not one syllable of repentance has been. heard from Berlin from any representative source.
 It is far more likely that the indigna- tion prevailing in Germany today is on the score of failure rather than prick ings Of conscience. Had the Kaiser suc- ceeded in his schemes, had the German armies triumphed in France and occu- pied Paris and permitted a Germanic dictation of terms of peace there would have been none so great. as William Hohenzollern and his coterie of states men and generals. Nothing succeeds like success, and apparently in the German mind nothing is so uhforgivable as fail the people of Belgium, France and Eng land, of Serbia and Poland and Russia have been the victims.

x # America s President Is Acclaimed Abroad

THE tumultuous welcome given 4 President Wilson at Brest yes- terday expressed the feeling the peo- pie of Europe have for America. It Twill be duplicated on a greater scale lin Paris, in London, in Rome, wher- lever the President goes. Much of the warmth in his reception was a trib- ute to the man himself, who stands
 today the foremost statesman of the world, the great advocate of interna- tional justice,
 Even the Breton fisherfolk, dressed in their holiday clothes and scanning the sea for hours to catch the first glimpse of the "peace armada" were sensible of the part MT. Wilson has played in the war for liberty and no doubt their simple minds could grasp Ithe real significance of his visit. Europe's swarning millions nave placed their hopes in Americas Pres ident. They turn to him as the true and eloquent representative of those ideals which, once put into practice, will make this better world to live in than it has ever been before. And
 Europe's statesmen know the import lance of having the President in close proximity to the peace table when |momentous decisions are to be made,
 involving the future of every race on
 the globe.
 The mighty task is just begun
 making assurance doubly sure that
 the millions of brave men who died
 and other millions who bled for de- mocracy did not make their sacrifices
 in vain.

rarmers Are Prosperous

'I find that tffe farmers of Jefferson county are beginning to buy feed for their cattle in carload lots and are pay ing cash for it instead of buying it by the retail on credit" said Hamlin l.. Brown, county farm agent. T also find that they are using a great deal of homegrown feed, such as cotton seed meal, peanut meal and velvet bean meal. This is wise thing to do for the best pulp feed they order from Cal ifornia contains only per cent of protein, while cotton seed meal con- tains 37 per cent
 If the dairymen of the county would get out on the farm and produce their own feed and turn it back to the soil in the form of fertilizer, and let some one else deliver their milk, it would be much more profitable than the way they are doing. There are 5000 cows in the county and each COW is estimated to re- turn $25 worth of fertilizer to the soil each year. At this rate $150,000 would be realized by the county in this way each year" 5l tp

NOT VERY HUMAN

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The Germans are not starving Tre long forbidden country has been opened where is there any indication that the .reopie are severely suffering from lack of food. At Treves, flor instance, there seems to be as much food as there would be in any non-German European city of Treves population. The cry for food that went up from Germany immediate ly after the signing of the armistice seerls to have been kind of propaganda devised to create sympathy
 Starvation of Germany did not win the war for the allies. Where Germany was supposed to be weakest it now appears that she was reasonably strong. Her fatal weakness was her military organi- zatior, which was thought to be her mightiest strength. The wonderful mili- tary machine collapsed not because of lack of-foo dat home, but because of sheer weariness of war and because of the conviction that the struggle had be- coma hopeless. The iron discipline which had made the German army strong enough to threaten the conquest of the whole world could not prevail against the odds at Foch's command, nor would the soldiers consent to protract a war that had become wholly defensive and that would soon bring the invasion and conquest of the fatherland.
 Grain from Hungary. from Wallaehia, from Ukrainia. from Syria has kept the German people well supplied. Strict reg ule.tiorf and economy have been neces- sary, but no more necessary than in
 France and Italy. There has even been sufficient grain to provide for the na- tional beer demand. Prices haye> been high, but they have, not placed the ne1 cessltics beyond the reach of the Ger man masses. ,urduestionably the Ger mans wo1ld be glad of more food than they have. hut it Is abundantly clear that feeding the Germans" is not one of the prime duties of the allied powers today,

LUKE srLUkE SAYS

Compulsory education helps some. There. are fewer fortune tellers than there were 10 years ago.
 Once in while the married man gets the idea that his wife talks all the time to disguise the fact that she has noth- Ing to say.
 A man seldom thinks seriously Of death because the last thing in the world he expects to do is die.
 It doesn't take a married man more than a couple ofyears to discover that he can save lot of time by letting his wife have the last word
 The department of agriculture has de- cided that shellac is food. But the folk in dry states do not drink it merely because 1t sticks to the rbs.

 Every rose has ts thorn. The, trouble with finding a pearl inia raw oyster Is that it costs you all that you can get for the pearl to pay your dentist bill
 A lot of church members rave about the land of promise. But they would rather do business in 8 land where people pay cash
 Another thing we can't understand is why, when q man mas run HiiHsca&fuo" " ID his doctor will tell him to take more ex- ercise
 It is all right to go along on the theory that the Lord helps those that helps them- selves. But don't forget that the Lord helps those who help others.
 Before he gets her he ssys that he is crazy to get married. But he dpesn realize how crazy he was until after he gets her.
 Another good bet Is that when man does his work with an air of resignation it won't be long until he gets fired
 And no matter how. effeminate man tries to be, he can't. expect to get his own way about everything.

Two Noted Prisoners
 Given Their Liberty

F1THE iast chapter in the sensational
 J conspiracy which resulted in the assassination of Governor Goebel of Kentucky, IS years ago, was writ ten the other day when Henry Yout- sey was paroled at Frankfort, after serving IS years in the penitentiary. At the same time Curtis Jett, ex- feudist, who was serving a life term for the murder of J. B. Marcum and James Cockrill at the Breathitt' coun- ty courthouse in 1902, was given his liberty. Caleb Powers, who was elect ed to Congress after his release from prison, was also implicated in the Goebel murder.
 Jett has shown trait typical of the Kentucky mountain folk when trou- ble overtakes them. He plans to en- ter the ministry and will preach in the Methodist church at Doylesville this winter. Next year he will go to college. Youtsey has also become a changed man and while he has not announced his plans for the future, both he and Jett were model prison CTS and are credited with having ex- erted a strong moral influence on their fellow unfortunates during the Iyears they were in prison: Youtsey was superintendent of the night school, stenographer to the warden and acted as attorney for prisoners. Before the Goebel-Tal election Youtsey was secretary to the state auditor and attorney general. It is

Savings Campaign
 To Be Continued

THE treasury department has
 4 acted wisely in extending the
 time for closing the War Savings
 Stamp campaign until the end of 1919.
 When the plan for raising two bil-
 lion dollars by the sale of modest gov
 ernment securities was announced a.
 year ago it was thought by those in
 charge of the campaign that the amount sought would be in sight by
 the Christmas of 1918. Organizations for pushing the work were perfected lin every state and the canvassers la bored diligently and for the most part
 successfully Alabama is making a |good record.~
 But two billion dollars is large amount to be obtained in sums in tended to interest especially children and men and women of small means,
 Perhaps something like one billion will have been turned into the treasury de- lpartment by the last of the year, but lit will require probably another twelve months for the goal to be reached. The state and county organizations will remain intact. The workers will be expected to keep up their enthusi- |asm. Drive after drive will be in evil |dence as the new year advances. Not only does the government need the money, but the savings habit rec essary to enable the masses to invest in Stamps and Baby Bonds, develops. the habit of thrift which will be of
 great value to the community as we'll
 as to the individual in the years to come.
 America's patriotism will always abound. Let's make it nation of thrift. The War Savings Stamp of fers the opportunity.

Apples and Pecans
 Grown in Alabama

THE annual meeting of the Ala
 H bama Horticultural society, which closed a two-days' session at Auburn Thursday, was from all ac- counts exceptionally educative and entertaining. The banquet at which only vegetables, fruits and nuts-all grown in Alabama-were served, was unique and in every respect enjoyable and the entire programme was full of interest.
 The exhibit of orchard and garden products was large and varied. Espe- cially worthy of note was the display of apples; and next in order of inn portance were the displays of Satsu- mas and of choice specimens of oceans. These exhibits had the effect of stim- ulating effort in increasing the value of these valuable products. Alabama should soon become known as the lead ing apple state of tile south.
 Auburn has set new pace for the horticultural meets The next host to the society will strive to outdo itself in getting up an enlivening pro gramme.
