The laws of compensation-just
Ilke' the laws CT gravity-are always
in effect" said Hardee Brown. Il was
reminded of this fact again by situa-
ton which is likely to be seen in our
neighbor city, Fairfield, Monday morn
ing. When the young town began to
grow certain lots which were divided
by the city limit line attracted more
or less attention on account of taxes,
etc, and finally some citizens from
that city appeared before the state
legislature and had the contested ter
ritory. amounting to about $50 acres
in all. transferred to their charter.
This land included swo school build
ings, among other public property,
which heretofore has been under the
direction of Birmingham authorities.
Under the new law, of course. Biz
mingham cannot furnish teachers for
these schools. and the point is whether
Fairfield gained or lost by taking in
the new territory"

Quaint Island

Elmley, one of England's oldest
little islands, though only ~ miles
from London, Is parish where roads,
shops, lamps, telephones, motor cars,
public houses and postof1ices are un-
known. The island. which lies off
the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, has an
area of about 1000 acres, and is the
property of Oxford university. The
inhabitants are mostly shepherds OF
large tiocks of sheep. The Oldest man
of the village is in his SEVENTEEN year.
He has yet to see a motor car. The
school and church are the two chief
landmarks on the island. The rea-
son they were built in such a sparSely
populated spot is that In winter It
is almost impossible to leave the
island, as the ferry which runs to and
from the Island is dangerous.
A novel method of obtaining the
services of the ferryman, who lives
opposite to the island, Is the open
ing of the white door of hut facing
the shore, At night a lighted candle
held aloft serves the purpose Of the
open door.

f, Blind Edward Jones of Jefferson

ing poultry which many who have
eyes have not equaled. Moving among
his birds, which seem to understand
how he is handicapped, and guided
only by his sense of touch, he per-
forms his daily work. He has built
his own poultry house and brood
coops, and has hatched and raised all
his chicks. Blindness does not pre-
vent him from culling his flock. The
birds not intended to be kept are mar
keted as broilers, and the others are
kept for the production of winter
eggs.
Mr.. Jones attended every poultry
meeting held in his section last fall
He is now trying to organize poultry

OF under 40 inches per annum. and
with every graduation between these
extremes, the State Is able to grow
every kind of fruit from mangoes to
cherries, and not only can the State

Lisbon, May 2s.-When the Ameri-
car seaplane NC-4 came up the Tagus
river the populace, crowdsng all places
OF vantage, gave full expression TO
their enthusiasm by cheers of well
come, the booming of guns and the
ringing of bells.
For days the people of Lisbon had
been awaiting the completion of this
momentous voyage over the Atlantic
and, though disappointed from day to
dag because of the inability of Com
mander Reeds craft TO continue its
flight because of unfavorable weather
conditions, yet each day they looked
hopefully towards the west for the
coming of the Americans.
Early in the day word was flashed
that the NC-4 had started and mt in
tervals there We're bulletins of the
progress made. The whole city was
en- fete and during the latter hours
virtually all business was abandoned
by those who crowded everywhere TO
witness the arrival.
Guided by skillful hands the Amerl-
can plane, which had covered the dis
tance between the protecting destroy
ers along the route with clock-llke
regularity, swept in over Lisbon and
settled down gracefully near the crui-
ser Rochester.
