Assistant Necessary

'The coroners office requires the serv- ices of an assistant" said c. l.. Spain. former coroner of Jefferson county .'sThe present assistant coroner, MT Askew tells me that last month he investigated approximately, 65 murder cases besides the number Dr. E. P. Hogan looked into. and to have one man as coroner is not sufficient for the work required. There is bill before the legislature now that calls Tor an assistant to be permanently associated with the coroner, and in my opinion it is essential that the bill be passed, for there is simply too much work for one man to look after it care. fully, doing justice to the office"

lNED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE TURMOIL
 Fl AND THE STRIFE AT THE STATE CAPITAL

We all know that the industrial centers ard the progressive people of the state are now standing the burden of taxation. acres of land in this state that are lying idle, owned by wealthy people. who are simply holding them for higher prices. Those non n-producing lands instead of be- ing assessed for a mere nominal sum should be made to pay their proportion ate share of taxes The man who is mere ly holding land for higher prices and not causing it to yield anything should be punished in one way or another. He is a drone upon the state.
 I am a great admirer of Governor Kilby. He is a splendid business man, broad guaged and patriotic-a man of good judgment. He should select men of his own type to enforce the tax laws of the state. If he will do it he can raise sufficient revenue to build up the schools and all the other institutions of this state which so badly need improve ment
 Governor Kilby has had and is having hard job of it, but he is the type to put the state on a fine basis before he finishes his job.
 About the state capitol in Montgomery at present there is more strife and tur mol than has been known in many years. The women of the state are there in droves fighting over the suffrage amendment There are almost as many women fighting against it as there are nghtlng Tor 1t. And most of them are good lockers, too. Both sides have sent their best looking and snartest u,o,,,o,. .and the legislators and the governor hin, self are being buttonholed in a manner never before known
 enthusiasm is so great that the women sometimes make mistakes.

French Toast With Berries.

Cut stale bread into small, regular
slices about one-half inch in thick
ness; Beat two eggs until light, add
one-quarter teaspoonful of salt and
one and one-half cupfuls Of milk.
Mix, dip the slices into this mixture,
allow them to become thoroughly
saturated, then fry in a shallow pan
in hot melted butter. Or, if you have
a gas range, place the slices on pan
or on the broiler, and toast on each
side to a golden brown, and spread,
while hot, with fresh butter. This
is the more wholesome way. In either
case, when the toast is made sprinkle
it thickly with powdered sugar to
which just little ground cinnamon
has been added. Arrange the toast

SAVINGS MADE SAFE
FOR SMALL INVESTOR
Uncle Sam Provides Protection for
Thrifty Citizen Who Wishes to
Lay Aside Part Of Earnings.

This is the day Of the small inves-
tor. The war opened the eyes OF some
80, ,000, 900 Americans to the benefits
Of investing in government securities;
it minimized to the same" extent the
menace Of fraudulent promotions ip
which many life's savings have been
sunk. War Savings Stamps are max
ing investing safe for the small saver.
Every small investor should realize
that a dollar saved while money IS
the cheapest commodity offered will
purchase twice as much OF almost any
other commodity within four or i've
years, so that, in addition to the in
terest that War Savings or other gov
>ernment securities yield, the investor
really has earned 100 per cent in the
purchasing power Of the dollar saved.
Small sums certainly are worth saw
ing. Amounts that seem insignificant
soon pile up into figures that are i'm
pressive.
A great French banker was once
asked the secret OF French thrift, anu
he replied, Compound interest" Just
as constant waste, even in little
things, may change ones life from
success to failure, so the steady saw
ing Of money will eventually bring
independence, if not actual wealth.
There are very few persons who
cannot, without inconvenience, lay
aside 10 cents day. Within ten
years ones daily savings Of this in
significant sum will amount to 1866,
in addition to sSo,3s compound in
terest, making a total Of $445.36.
By saving Is cents a day for ton
years, with interest compounded at 4
per cent, one will have the comfort.
able sum Of $eeS.1S; 20 cents day
will net $Ss0.9s. Save so cents day
for ten years and there is $2,227.75
A dollar a day will make total OF
34,455.74 for the ten-year period.
All these figures are based on the
savings being put out at per cent
compound interest. War Savings
Stamps yield more than per cent.

wherever a Salvage" card Is dist

Not only has Emporaa found that
this organized campaign is resulting

Tennyson's Prophecy:
The following poetic prophecy OF
the conquest of the>air by man, and
of the league of nations, was made
by Alfred Tennyson, great Eng
lish poet, in ''Locksley Hail." about
eighty years ago:
For I dip into the future, far as
human eye could see,
Saw the visions of the world, and all
the wonders that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce.
argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, drop
ping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting,
and there rained ghastly dew
From the nations airy navies crap
pling in the central blue;
Far along the worldwide whisper OF
the south-wind rushing warm,
With the standards of the peoples
plunging through the thunder
storm;
Till the war-drum throbbed no long
er, and the battle flags were
furled
In the Parliament of man, the feder-
alton Of the world.
