THE DRAGON-KnLER
l the New York World.

From the New York World.
 It is hard to believe that Representa- tive Nicholas Longworth has been a mem
 Der of the House for fl years. In spite of his surroundings, he is as innocent as child, as unworldly as schoolgirl in her teens. It never dawned on him be- fore that republican politicians, in Con- gress could be what they are To na-
 ture so confiding it is a terrible shock to discover that any of them in their Hearts harbor wicked designs. Everybody else knew that in the reor. garization of the next House the seni- orty rule was certain to prevail No-
 body else was deluded into believing that
 because of the choice of Gillett for speaker it would be discarded. But to a young person like Nicholas Longworth, who had always lived sheltered life and been reared in the atmosphere of
 Ohio politics, a world where such things happen did not exist 1t never entered
 into his happy childhood dreams. In the
 candor of his soul he had never i'm agined anything so dreadful.
 Washington has waited long while for spectacle so touching as the Ohioan presents, in his youth and inexperience, leading the hosts of republican righteous ness against the forces of republican evil. If none will follow. he will take the sword and slay the dragon of Can | ncnism." which is supposed to have been dead and buried for many years. It will never again devour any little boys and girls wandering about alone and unpro- frCted

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

And even if men could have their wives
 made to order the betting is that they would find fault with them. Sometimes man is so busy keeping an eye on his enemies that his fool friends make him the goat. This is a strange world. Most of our tragedies look like comedies to the other fellow.
 Most of us are so busy getting the better of others that we haven't time to make the best of ourselves. Maybe if yon could hear the light of your life sassing her mother when you are not around you wouldn't be in such a big hurry to marry her. The man who does you the good turn | is apt to have the idea that one good turn deserves a dozen in return. As a man grows older he gets the idea that good coffee is almost as scarce as radium.
 Nothing was ever so bad that 1t could not have been worse. For instance, just suppose that hoopskirts were in style during this war. If the skimpy skirts cost as much as they do hoopskirt would set 9 man back about s9O0. I One of the easiest ways to get rich is ] to se', your mistakes for more than they cost you.
 After she marries him woman often discovers that a mans capa city for low ing is expended entirely upon himself. TlH only excuse we can find for some
 marriages is that it costs a mah less effort to let woman make fool of him than it would for him to make a l fool of himself
 I If a girl can't get the man she wants ] she doesn't despond She goes out and
 gets the man some other girl wants.

Some of the Signs
 of Business Revival

0N HE new era of prosperity along ll normal lines will not come with
 rush, but it is safe to assume that within the next few months the wheels of industry will be turning briskly. Signs of improvement are observed lin many directions. Some of the manufacturers have already reduced prices and all the "big interests" are
 ready to do likewise. Building ma terial will come down in price, al-
 though even now the price is not pro- ihibitive.
 The price of labor is still high, but the wage workers should take req sonable view of the situation and meet conditions with a drop that will parallel the policy of industrial opera
 tors and thus encourage activity in all branches of construction. A slight decrease in unemployment
 has been noted. But slight though it be, the fact that unemployment is be- ginning to make showing on the right side of the sheet is of far-reach-
 ing significance.
 | All the signs, therefore, point to as
 early return of peace-time prosperi-
 ty as could be expected.
 : Conditions are fundamentally sound,
 and when the new era is we'll under
 way good times will be here to stay
 for an indefinite period.

Lightning Rod Agent
 Belongs To tthe Past

M DISPATCH from Montgomery A says no license tax was col lected from a lightning rod agent in Alabama last year. This would indi- cate that picturesque character has ceased to function.
 In times gone by the lightning rod agent was regarded, particularly in rural communities, as a benefactor to humanity. He was held to be some thing of a scientist, withal, having an astonishing familiarity with thunder bolts and being on intimate terms with that destructive fluid generated in the atmosphere for the sole pur- pose, apparently, of blasting trees, setting fire to well-stored barnss and destroying farm houses Thanks to

THE WARNING
From the Indianapolis News.

 He was ls years old and she was just IS. For long time they had been sav- ing their money to get married. When they together had acquired $1oo they de- cided that they had reached the oppor- tune time. So into town and to the court house for the needed license they hied.
 As they ascended the steps of that building they met a motley crew coming down the stairway-a discontented look- ing husband, a still more discontented looking wife, and five dilapidated, dirty children. The boy stopped, turned to stare at the girl and found that she was staring at him.
 Suddenly She laughed, and tucking her hand into his arm, turned him around so that his back was toward the entrance of the building.
 Let's go back home, Fred, and wait until we've saved another hundred dol lars," she advised.

Must Have No Apathy
 In Savings Campaign

i NOOD progress is being made in NJ the War Savings campaign in Alabama. The sales of Stamps in I191g have exceeded those for the same period in 1918.
 Let this record be maintained throughout the year and Alabama will
 score one of its most notable money
 raising achievements. And it can be maintained if the people become thor cughly aroused and continue keyed up to high pitch of patriotism. The publicity department of the
 state organization is directing it's at
 tention to the work of stirring up the
 masses. Every county is being we'll canvassed and every school is being
 made a center of War Savings ac- tivity
 Teachers and school children ac- Icomplished much in 1918, but now that the purpose of the campaign is fully understood they will do still better this year. The children, indeed, can do wonders.
 There must be no apathy anywhere. Although the war is over, the needs of the treasury department are as im- iperative as ever. Cooperation and spirited rivalry in every precinct will make the task in hand seem easy.

OUT OF LUCK

From Jack Canuck.
 Afraid to breathe, almost, the returned reveler crept quietly into his bedcham- ber as the gray dawn was breaking. Sit ting on the edge of his bed he cautiously undfd his boots. But. with all his care. his wife stirred in bed, and he presently was all too well aware of pair of sleepy eyes regarding him over the edge of the sheet.
 why, Tom" yawned the little woman, "how early you are this morning.
 Yes. my dear,' replied Tom, stifiing a groan. "I've got to go to Montreal for the firm today
 And replacing his footgear the wretched man dragged his aching limbs out again into the cold and heartless streets.

# Ts T Enlightening Remarks By Former Ambassador

2 NOUNT VON BERNSTORFF, for NJ mer German ambassador to the United States, is quoted in an Asso- ciated Press dispatch as saying in a speech delivered in Berlin that Ger man public opinion was held respon- sible for the adoption of ruthless sub marine warfare.
 / A statement like this may cause some uneasiness to other prominent Germans who have shed crocodile tears because Germany's- masters, to further their own ambitions and with out regarding the sensitive feelings of the populace, decided on step which brought down ruin and univer- sal hatred on the German people. If Wa are; to believe Count Won Bern Scur1r;tns people of Germany were all most as much to blame for the atroci- ties of the war as their leaders, per- haps more so, assuming that public opinion in Germany really had any weight. If the German people had not demanded ruthlessness to crush their foes in the shortest possible time, the war lords might have thought twice before putting into effect de- crees that have blackened Germany for a century.
 Count Won Bernstorff also takes the credit for having appealed to Ger man residents of the United States to respect the laws of this country. The malodorous record of Won Bernstorff in America, where he directed pro-Ger- man plots against our government, for the purpose of fomenting strikes, de- stroying property and taking the lives of American citizens, leaves little doubt as to the way in which his Zap peal" was made In the democratic atmosphere of Berlin the count shows symptoms of developing into humor- ist.

LOBSTERS CHEAPER
New York Correspondence, in pittsb,

New York Correspondence, in Pittsburg
 Dispatch.
 The naughty lobster. which is the ia voritc bird of the flappers of the chorus along Jazz alley, yciept the Great White Way, is-on the decline. They are de- creasing in price at about the same ra- tio that the highball is increasing sky ward. so there is some hope for-the day light-savers who seek the consolation of this b1issful combination of food and drink along the midnight trail. Lobsters have been retailing for one bean in the markets and three iron men in the cab arets all winter. Today they are marked down to 15 cents in the markets, so if and hardy Broadway trenchman wants to take his own lobster under his arm to his favorite uosehsggery and have 1t cooked there he may be abe to save himself some money Lobsters at 75 cents throw form a new angle of food price reduction that nobody expected, So the workingmen who are in the habit of stopping at Sherry's or Dels or the Cafe de Paris for their breakfast on the way to the factory will be able from now on to enjoy their fayorite shelfish at a slight reduction.

his smooth tongue, cosmopolitan airs and assumed comradeship with old Ben Franklin, he took many orders.
 Any well-to-do farmer who neglect ed to have lightning rods put on his home and his barn was running a risk that no person with an inch of fore sight cared to face. He might even be suspected of certain godlessness in defying the elements and trusting in his own puny strength to ward off calamity.
 The old-fashioned farm house, painted white, with green window blinds, broad veranda and spa cious hall, was never without light ming rods to catch any stray "bolts from the blue" and conduct them harmlessly into the ground. Children viewed these mysterious twisted ca bles with wondering eyes as they spec ulated about where the lightning came from and where it went. Grown per- sons had something of the same child like faith in the efficiency of light ming rods.
 Now we have fallen on more so- phisticated days when the equally glib insurance agent who can write pol icy in the twinkling of an eye to cover every known contingency has put the rod agent out of business.

Promise of Large
 Food Production

~ OPTION acreage will be reduced W this year, but food acreage in the south will be fully as large as it was in 1918, and probably larger.
 Alabama has increased it's winter wheat crop and it should plant a greater acreage to corn than in any previous year. A hundred million bushel yield of corn would not be too much to expect. Weather conditions favorable, Alabama can top that total if the farmers add fifteen or twenty per cent to the 1918 acreage.
 The marked success of live stock husbandry in Alabama should encour- age our farmers to raise more hogs and cattle this year than ever before. With the aid of the extension service at Auburn the wealth of every agri- cultural community has increased to an amazing extent.
 Progressive farming pays and Ala bama is fast becoming one of the rich est states in the union.
