No Encouragement for Mcbs
 In the Birmingham District

TIT is an old saying, but true one, 4 that an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure. Birmingham. onasof the most orderly cities in the country is going to remain so, despite the fact that agitators are everywhere trying to stir. up strife. Attempts are Deing made to start a race war, industry is being disorganized and union labor is facing the greatest crisis of, it's existance-the choice be- tween the'kind of government which is the basis of America's greatness or the bolshevik terror of Russia.
 Witt commenda5lc forethought the authorities of Birmingham and Jeffer- son county are preparing for emarg- encies. Mdchine guns of modern type have been acquired by Sheriff Harts- field. Beginning today, it is an- nounced deputies will be equipped with Browning guns, including both fthe heavier and lighter automatic rifles, and instructed in the use of these eff fective weapons.
 There is no reason to believe that there is the slightest danger of an outbreak in Birmingham or Jeff arson county. It $ a source of deep grati- fication to all lava abiding citizens of this community that with so many riots reported in other parts of the codntrJ, B;;r.nirgha has remained quiet The steel strike has created scarcely ripple of excitement locak ly, although the Tennessee company is ore of tie larger subsidiaries of the United States Steel corporation.
 Hut iS is never safe to take too much for granted and if 1t shsald ever he necessary for the forces of law and order to put down mob in Bir- mil gham, white or bla1S, there is notl;ng more dependable than machine guas in the hands of men who know how to hse them. The very fact that there are such facilities ready to cope with violence, would have salutary effect, and check incipient lawlessness before it led to bltodshed.

 False Rumors Circulated
 Regarding President Wilson m ARTISAN politics has seldom N gone to greater extremes than the deliberate attempt of President Wilson's enemies to make political capital out of his illness. They have said he broke down on his western trip because he realized that his ap- peal to the people was failure; that he has lost his mind and will never recover and that his true condition is being kept from the public oy his physicians.
 Senator Moses of New Hampshire, who wrote a constituent that MT. Will son had a lesion of the brain, says that he was not writing for publica- tion and merely stated what he haa heard, but that is a lame excuse. The most improbable stories have been -ir culated in Washington and have found their way into newspapers throughout the country, for which there seems to be no foundation whatever.

in spreading these rumors broadcast, it is natural to assume that they are using the illness of the nations chief executive to carry on their campaign of yillification and abuse in particu- lsrly heartless fashion. If they can mske it appear that MT. Wilson is mentally unbalanced, the next step is to insinuate that the breakdown has been coming on for some time and many of his~ public acts have been those of demented man.
 These politicians say Mir. Wilson is no longer competent to act and should be supplanted by another, when there is no truth in the report so far as anyone outside of the White House canl judge. They are disseminating such a rumor simply because the wish is father to the thought and their per- sonal hatred of MT. Wilson is 50 in- tense that they would gladly hound him to his grave.

POETIC POSSIBILITIES

But even this may be too pale an honor to appease his ambition. What did the Corsican cor poral do to France? Is not D'Annunzio Gin his own esteem) mightier man than the little fellow from Ajaccio? No Corsican, no Greek or Trojan demigod ever made so mighty a defiance as has the man of Plume or ever attitudinized so magrihcenty.
 Most observers see disaster or some thing approaching disaster in DAnnun- zio's folly. Disaster for DsAnnunzio-s which is well and good--but also dis aster for Italy, which is not good to contemplate. But what does it all mat ter to the poet? Would ha not, for the sake of the pose, joyfully sit cross legged on the apex of his country's fu- neral pyre and chantltriumphal odes in the midst of the holocaust?

 Horticulture is the most permanent form of agriculture" states MT. starch CT. Apple trees live to the age of 90 years, yielding increasing crops as they grow older. Pecan trees have a life of 100 years The apples exhibited at the state fair. which made the best show ing. were from trees between 20 and 90 years old. It must be borne in mind, however that very few trees produce profitable crops before the fourth or fif5hN season after planting.
