Dr. EdmOnds on "The
 League of Nations

'The League of Nations" was the sub- ject of Dr. H. M. Edmonds address last night at the Lyric, a capacity audience being present. Presenting a subject up- permost in the minds of the public at this moment. pr. Edmonds gave a thor ough exposition of the facts. the policy and reasons for the establishment of an international league of peace. which he said has every reason to be as effective as was the international league of war. Quite number of current criticisms were gone into showing their weaknesses and their strength. The idea of the greatest number was exploited.
 The spirit that speaks in the motto, They said 1t could not be done, but l. poor fool, not knowing, went ahead and did it. is the thing. Decide on thing, and then set out and do it," said Dr. Edmonds. "It is argued that laws do not change human nature. True. but laws should keep up with human nature in it's progress. In the march of progress. human nature is gradually changing its mind as to wars What the'"people want. they vii certainly get
 'The league of nations has many hon. est opponents-men who do not think it f5 feasible or workable plan the cant be done class. But it is the dreamer who persists in his dreams, who knows it can be done, who does the big stunts. The first locomotive made it's trip amid a gaping, ,unbelieving throng; the flying machine was dertded as impossible, too.
 But the men who count in the estab- lishment of this league of nations have the faith and strength to carry on their convictions. and they will make 1t go
 Personal liberty must be cheerfully sacrificed for the good of the greatest number said Dr. Edmonds speaking of prohibition. "One of the things that some thought could never be. has come to pass, and while not absolutely perfect. will win the day"
 At Temple Emanu-El Dr. Edmonds preached an interesting sermon on 'The Rich Young Ruler" showing why the r.ches which he possessed stood in his way to a full knowledge of God Not in the possession of riches, but in them possession of you. lies the trouble" said the speaker. Jesus diagnosed his case, and gave him the remedy, but he went away sorrowful,' evidently not wanting to take the cure prescribed, like Tagoa, who says, Lord, I come to Thee asking cure. yet I tremble lest thou shouldst cure.'"

STIMULATES FIELDING

It is the desire of persons connected with the association to stimulate build ing of silos in every community, in order that a community eusilase cutter and silo filler may be purchased and owned by group of farmers. thus reducing the per capita expense and providing virtually the same service to the indiVid- nal as a personally owned outnt. The as sociation urges facilities be provided for caring far high grade stock befors it is acquired by farmers and to this end ar langements have been made to obtain substantial reductions from list price on cypress silos of certain standard make. number of which have already been installed by Harris county farmers. However, loans may be obtained for the purchase of anything, from sack of seed to farm implements.
 w. l.. Stallings, manager of the agri~ cultural department of the Chamber of Commerce. has prepared a circular letter to be mailed to 15e0 farmers in the coun- ty, calling their attention to the fact that funds are now available, on long term rates. for building and improve ments. Mir. Stallings, through the agri- cultural agents in his department, will advocate the building of farm improve ments. especially slos, this year. Funds loaned through the dairy association have done more for agriculture in Har- ris county than any other single agency, according to Mir. Stallings.
 All along the railroad l noticed thou sands of acres of grond turned over for cotton and corn. Much corn has already been planted. and the cattle ranges look green. The winter has been mild and stock looks well.
 Sios dot the farms, and every tm- provement is of a substantial nature. Many farm implements could be noticed about farms with a new coat Of red paint on them. This spells thrift.
 Instead of slaughtering the calves as is the case in Jefferson county. especial ly they are put on range to themselves and raised for beef.
 Hogs seem to thrive well on the ranges and following the cattle wherever they go This live stock game is great one, and l am glad Alabama is beginning to play it strong. The more one sees of advanced ideas in agriculture the better the life looks. and I would hate to think it was to be my lot to die in city in stead of on farm.
 From here I go to Corsicana, where everything is excitement over new oil strikes

Grazing Herds and Miles or Farms Pour Stream .Of Wealth Into Houston
By JOHN c. MOSES

Houston. Tex, March 2.-(Special)- irving here from New Orleans, l found great city. backed by millions of acres city is extremely clean. with well paved streets and excellent country roads lead in all directions.
 Not having much time to stop here l rode out 25 miles through the grazing section and took look at thousands of cattle and hogs It was revelation to me. and I at once decided that we folks in Alabama have been asleep as far as the live stock game was con cerned
 In conversation with c. NJ. Malone, sec retary of the Houston Dairy association, he revealed the plan now being worked out in this section. where they are thor oughly organized for cooperation, Their scheme embodies the principle being agi- tated by the department of agriculture at Washngton-on that allows individ- Cal organizations to loan money to mem bers who cannot be benefited by the pro visions of the farm loan banking sys- tenn.
 Farmers of Harris county, of which Houston is county seat. who desire to make improvements of any nature look ing toward increased farm production or who especially wish to build silos and barns for feeding and housing thorough bred cattle obtained from the Houston Dairy Fund association will be given an opportunity to do so by loans from the associa tion.
 Since establishment of the Houston Dairy Fund association several years ago approximately 1900 heard of thorough bred Jersey cows and 3i registered Jer- sey buils have been distributed among the farmers of Harris county. In many instances farmers receiving the stock have not had adequate equipment to make their stock most productive, and it is the intention of the association to loan money to farmers this year for the purpose of building silos and barns.
 Last year about 31 silos were built by Harris county farmers. all of whom re- ported excellent profit returns from the investment in increased dairy products. tn order that stock distributed by the association may prove a greater factor in advancing the total production of dairy products in Harris county, it is es- sential that every farmer who has col lateral for a loan avail himself of the opportunity to provide his herd with ample winter feed by building silo.

BARNS NECESSARY

For farmers contemplating the devel- opment of regular dairy herds of Jersey stock, it is also of particular importance that they first provide themselves with large, thoroughly equipped, sanitary barns in order that the dairy products may pass inspection. M". Malone said.

 It Is British statesmanship which 1s now exposed to a supreme or deal.
 To deal with the broken enemy other qualities will be needed from these needed for carrying on war.
 It is my faith that the British peo- pie can be trusted to deal wisely and magnanimously whenever it has had time to take in the true facts and ad- just itself to them. Unfortunately. it's mind moves slowly and the situation often changes rapidly. The whole mechanism of our Press has heen set working for the purpos- es of war, and 1t takes time to regu- late it for new circumstances.

SAVING THE SITUATION.

Theodore Thespian leaned on the rail of his sea-going yacht soliloquis- ing about love, while the blue waves rolled and heaved splendidly, each blue wave being a super" under a roll of canvas. But the waves were here and there thread bare, and sud- denly a wave ripped and a head bob bed up in the midst of the heavtng sea and stared around in bewildered fashion.
 Theodore Thespian silenced the audiences titters with one < stern glance.
 Man overboard!" he yelled in stentOrIan tones.
 Then the super" managing to draw back through the hole in the wave, disappeared.
 Theodore heaved a stormy sigh.
 Another victim seized by the re- lentIess sea, aIas." he said.
 And down came the house with roars of applause.
