Brown Predominates.
Brown is hurrying 10 the fore in
the field Of the new fall shades. and
so delightful are the com binations
Of burnt orange, coppe-, and the
darker shades. that one hopes IL will
be the reigning shade well into the
winter. Especially lovely are the
new fall hats that are shown in the
yellow and brown shades. One. with
a wide. plated brim, was Of copper
brown silk with flowers in burnt or

found itself voted the smartest hat
IN one excellent collection. The
most interesting OF the new street
hats have little trimming, relying
much on both shape and the clever
placing of a single quill, feather,
or flower Of distinction. The small
turban stands high in popular favor.
and has a tendency TO let its trim
ming quite overcome It; in fact, the
baby ostrich feathers which encircle
one Of these delightful little hats
trail down dangerously near the
eyes of the wearer. Flowers may
fashion these turbans. also. and
nothing prettier than one OF dark
brown and deep yellow velvet roses
can be imagined.
The Indian turban holds a place
quite apart from that Of its domes-
tic associates. No rajah ever re-
joiced in a more impressive head
piece than one Of these turnans, the
inspiration for which came from the
land of the Tai Mahal, for this lit
tie hat is made OF metal cloth. with
gold its only trimming being an
ornament Of green enamel.
Metallic Fabrics Worn.
The various metallic fabrics fash
ion many Of the new evening gowns,
effectively, too, for they lend them
selves TO draping most obligingly.
The skirt, which, plain in the back,
has the two ends of its material
crossed at the belt in front. over a
satin underskirt, is seen in many Of
the new evening gowns, and the
very short, square train, forming
the back of a skirt which is merely
ankle length in front. is also popu-
lar. The bodices OF many Of the
new gowns are OF several fabrics.

Tlayroom one morning a few weeks
after Christmas and noticed a flower
pot in which still stood the remains
Of a Christmas poinsettia. The

nastur.ium seeds and six morning
glory seeds and carefully folded
three OF a kind in two bits Of tissue

many children in our cities who
know nothing whatever of the mar
velous miracle of the phenomena OF

more who are taken every summer
to some resort who pay no more at
tention to nature and her miracles
than the greedy gathering OF all the
wild flowers they can hold, which
they often throw away before they
reach their hotel because OF the
whitening of the imprisoned little
blossoms.

Kindergarten Helps for Parents
A Much Neglected Instinct

had ever been on farm 10 hold up

were raised. He then asked all those
who had never seen a farm 10 do
the same and about 200 hands were
raised.
Is st any wonder that there has
had 20 be such a persistent drive to
awaken the right interest in our ag-
ricultural problem Of producing
enough food for the civilized world ?
And yet. every unspoiled child loves
to dig in the ground, 70 plant seed;
and when there is a wise sharing in
his interest. he gladly waters and
tends his little garden plot with real
pleasure. The recent success in our
school gardens proves this. In 1915
the war gardeners of the country
planted more than five million plots.

CONTINUANCE is
GRANTED IN CASE
AGAINST AGE-HERALD
HuddlestOn Libel Suits Are
Called i'm Blount County
Court and Passed Until
Next Term of Court
BY LEON c. BRADLEY

Oneonta, August 27.-(S Especial "A
continuance of the libel suit in which
George Huddleston seeks to recover
$1,000, 600 from the Age-Herald Pub
fishing company was granted in the
Blount county circuit court here to-
day Despite the insistence of the
plaintiff and his attorneys. Judge o.
A Steele held that it would be unfair
to the defendant to try the case at
the time, as chief counsel for the Age
Herald. Nathan L. Miller, lieutenant
governor of Alabama, could not leave
his duties as president of the state
senate
The decision of the court was an
nounced by Judge Steele after hear
ing extended arguments from the at
torneys on both sides and followed a
statement made by E. w. Barrett, ed
itor of the Age-Herald, who IS the
principal owner of the defendant com
pany. The court held that since Mr.
Miller was the chosen representative
of the people of Alabama as lieuten-
ant governor, and ex-officio president
of the senate, his first duty was to
remain at his post at this time, when
matters of vital importance to every
person in Alabama were being decid-
ed. In the opinion of Judge Steele, it
would not be proper for Mr.. Miller
to shirk his duty and responsibility to
the people of the state at such a time
as this to engage in the conduct of
private litigation.
In entering the order of the court
for the continuance of the case, Judge

the Age-Herald there for the past five
years.

Steele announced that the costs of the
postponement would be charged to the
defendant company. In response to
the request of the attorneys. both for
the defendant and the plaintiff. he an
nounced that he would make an effort
to have the case set for trial at the
earliest possible date, probably about
December l, but at an earlier date in
case the other business of the circuit
was concluded so that there was a
recess of a week scheduled.
KEEN INTEREST IN SUIT
Due to the Importance of the suit
and the amount of the damages
claimed, the largest sum ever sought
to be recovered from a newspaper for
alleged libel, there was the keenest
interest manifested here and through
out the country in the outcome of the
case. When it was called for trial there
were present in the courtroom the
plaintiff. George Huddleston, repre-
sentative from the ninth congressional
district: his attorneys, Judge Samuel
d. Weakley, candidate for the United
States Senate John w. Altman, of Biz
mingham, and Russell b. Sloan, OF
Blount county Z. w Barrett, editor
of the Age-Herald: n A. Graham, Jr.,
of Birmingham; Judge John f. kelton,
of OneOnta, attorneys for the detendant
company, Frank Willis Barnett and a
large crowd of interested auditors.
Judge Steele presented to Judge
Weakley. as counsel for the plaintiff, a
letter which he had received from
Lieutenant Governor Miller, setting
forth the urgent nature of the bust
ness before the senate in Montgomery
and the reasons which would prevent
him from appearing at the trial at this
time Judge Weakley interposed siren
uous objections to granting contin-
uance, arguing that Mr.. Miller should
be present, as the president pro tenn
of the senate or some other senator, in
case of his absence, could be chosen TO
preside over that body and name any
committees necessary for the conduct
of the business of the state
Mr.. Graham, for the defendant ar
cues that as Mr.. Miller was now and
had been for many years the counsel
for the Age Herald, as he had tried
every case the newspaper hadfhad for
twenty years. and as he had prepared
this case for trial, it would be mani
testify unfair to the defendant to go
to trial without him. He also pointed
out that as Mr.. Miller had been chosen
by the people for the responsible du-
ties OF a high state office, and as mat
tiers of vital Importance were now up
for consideration, it would be i'm
proper for the lieutenant governor to
desert his post to engage in private
business.
