Made Him wiggIe

T am sorry to see that so many of our men are suffering with paralysis" said P. c. Ratliffe. Being born and reared in the south and used to seeing men get up to give their seats to ladies on trains and street cars. I regret that the custom seems to be on the wane
 T happened to be on car the other afternoon which was crowded and in came woman with a child in her armsA She stood next to a healthy well-dressed young man who quietly read his paper, although I noticed that he was conscious of the mother and the babe. But he got all that was coming to him. for cultured woman just across the aisle arose and urged the standing mother to take her seat, and the look she gave the sitting male made him wiggle uncomfortably in his seat.
 T hope it will be many day before the average southern man will let a woman stand while he sits.'

 Bolshevism's Latest Outbreak Incenses the Whole Nation 1OROBABLY no other outrage
 x charged to the I. W. W. has ere ated greater indignation than the shooting down of former service men during an Armistice day parade at 'Centralia, Wash. Four were killed and five wounded >by a wanton at tack, inspired, evidently, by the blind hatred of anarchists for everyone who serves the American government in any capacity whatever.
 These patriotic young men had fought for their country abroad. They came back regarded by all true citizens as heroes who had faced dan ger for sacred cause. They had every reason to feel that the perils through which they passed could never be duplicated in their own land, yet they are attacked by snipers in their home town, and at a time when they ex- pected honor and applause rather than the bullets of assassins.
 Any suggestion that the I. W. w., CT else anarchists of the same kidney, are not to blame for this outrage will make little headway, for the Amer ican people simply will not believe that anybody but bloody minded rad- icals could be capable of such a crime in this country and at this time. The attack was plainly directed at the ex- soldiers and because they were ex- soldiers.
 One suspect was lynched and others were promptly put in jail. This out break, so atrocious in character, should stir the government to re- newed activity in rounding up "reds" wherever they happen to be and plac- ing them where they can do no more mischief Prison and deportation are the only effective remedies for check ing the spread of bolshevism in America. Public sentiment will up- hold the most drastic treatment of interlopers and murderers who are striking at the heart of the American government and staining their hands with innocent blood.

pr. Edmonds Again
 Invited to Presbytery

THE entire community will re-
 S joice that Dr. H. M. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presby- terian church of Birmingham, was reunited with the North Alabama presbytery at the meeting in Mont gomery yesterday.
 This great preacher has won the admiration of everyone by his work in Birmingham and he has com manded the respect everywhere of workers for religious and spiritual advancement. Even under the handi- cap of having to perform his tasks independently he has been a force in the religious and spiritual life of Ala bama which is almost beyond calcula- tion.
 Now that he is once more a mem- Der of the strong and virile Presby- tery of North Alabama and is sus- tained in his efforts by the able body of workers with whom he will labor he may be expected to do still greater things for Birmingham and add abundantly to the reputation Bir- mingham already has as commu- nity in which the religious life of its people is exalted to the plane it de- serves.
 Dr. Edmonds and his congregation are to be congratulated, the presby- tery is to be congratulated, but above all, Birmingham is to be congratu- lated upon this happy issue.

Stuck in the Mud

Tt Is surely fortunate that the state has made appropriations for the bet tering of roads in Alabama" said J. R Hornady. 'T have just returned from an automobile trip through North Alabama and the roads in most cases are fierce. I was stack in the mud time and time again and can sympa- thize heartily with those travelling men who travel Alabama in automo- piles all of the time.
 Some of the roads are being worked on now. but the work is slow and it makes the roads worse than ordinary. The red clay is placed as foundation on the roads and until the surface Is put on the whole thing is just a bog of red mud and in many cases there is no passing for automobiles unless they are pulled by couple of husky mules"

We'll Organized

What our methods should be for coming out on top in the s75,oo0, 900 campaign" stated Dr. Charles w Daniels, reminds me of a story I heard some time ago.
 "A man was walking along a country road when an old Regro came along on a wagon. This gentleman, who was on foot, was invited to have a ride. and as they drove laong the highways he noticed that the old oarky was an ex- pert with a whip and could cut a flower from stem or take a leaf from branch without disturbing the rest of the foliage.
 "He was very much interested and said to the negro, Can you hit every thing you aim at?' He answered.

Mental Nut Cracker.

]. c. Aspley, vice president Of the
Chicago Sales Managers Association.
Is authority for the statement that
one of the great mail-order houses
pays $4,000 a year to one of Its en-
ployes who works only about three
days a month. and the head Of the in
stitution says he is the cheapest man
on the payroll.
The $4,000 man is the nut-cracker,
the problem solver of the house. When
the establishment gets stuck" with
lot Of goods and Is in urgent need OF
finding a market or an advertising sug-
gestion that will create a market. the
idea man is summoned. AL the facts
are laid before him. Sometimes he
asks a lot Of questions. Sometimes he
simply sits and listens. Then he goes
into executive session with himself. so
to speak, and when he comes out he
has plan. What ever plan he pre-
sents Is followed. He rarely blunders
and the heads Of the great establish
ment have supreme faith In him.
One idea furnished by this man
sometimes saves the mail-order house
more than his years salary amounts
to. and everything else he furnishes to
the concern in the course Of the year
is what the French term lagniappe.

Oily Porcupine hadn't been living
in his new gray house very long. In
fact, he moved In because 1t was lar

and he wanted to have room for his
cousin. Alphonse, the white porcupine.
He felt very badly because he had
hurt one of his best friends. Jimmy
Coon, and as he sat at home In his
house he asked the white porcupine,
his cousin. what he could do to make
IT right with Jimmy Coon.
Now. II / could only make It up
With Jimmy Coon and do something

We'll, you had better ask someone
who knows what Jimmy Coon likes
and then do that"
Just the very thing! I'll ask Chat
ter Box. He goes around every day
who. and we will see what he says"
Chatterbox was really flattered that
such a reserved person as GULLY
should tsk him what to do. He thought
1t was a great compliment.
Chatterbox, having been invited. sat
in the door Of Quilly's new house and
for once stopped talking to hear what
GULLY had to say. When the subject
was opened up, Chatterbox looked very
wise and said at once, "A party, that
is what Jimmy Coon likes best, and all

no one likes the things to eat you

well, you will have to have q field
mouse for old Mr.. Owl, and you will
have to have some lily pads for the
Porcupines, and some fresh fish and
eggs and such things for Teddy Pos
sum and Jimmy Coon. OF course you
are going to haxe Teddy Possum, for
he and Jimmy Coon are always to-
gether."
Guilty Porcupine wagssd his head
and his dull eyes loked duller than
ever, for 1t seemed so very hard to get
all that food together and he was sorry
he had ever asked Chatterbox.

those who hang on his utterances that

has ever been a word misused and
misplaced IT is that one principle.
The principle Of the thing" etc. The
principle" as held by certain individ-

war time was that they were under no
legal obligation to buy bonds. From
that some Of them argued that they
were thus under no obligation Of any
kind to buy bond unless they felt like
doing 50. Another "principle" was that
freedom of speech and press included
the right to abuse and viiify patriots
at home when they insisted that con-
tributions to war needs and purchase
Of bonds were absolute obligations

tective bayonets according to the
wealth and income of the citizen.

lives of the men under the fire OF Ger
man batteries.
Nobody denies the principle OF free
speech and free press; but when upon
those principles covert or open as
saults are made against American SOL
diers at war and patriots at home who
are acting as a supply reserve behind
the fighting men no one on earth can
twist the principles into a bomb proof
for shakers and bush marking. The
exigencies of the country at war deny
license of speech or press that gives
aid and comfort and allotment to the
enemy by embarrassment, opposition
and detraction Of those who are de-
Tending the institutions of freedom
and the integrity of their own govern

height Of the Renaissance period, was
born at Cognac. His mother was Wild

watched over his youth with passion
ate tenderness. She was woman OF
great mentality. and her daughter
Francis sister. Marguerite. seems to
have inherited much OF her brilliancy.
But the king. tho clever in surface
things. was weak, frivolous, selfish and
never dependable. Yet he had many
charming qualities.
After he was declared heir apparent.
he was betrothed and finally married
to Claude, daughter of King Louis
XII. He at once established a brilliant
court. with himself as its central, and
1t must be admitted, handsome figure
The serious affairs OF kingship he ut
terly avoided. he liked hunting and
fighting, and he was brave on the field,
tho when he tried to lead an army. he
generally led them to disaster. The
worst was the battle OF Pavia when he
was defeated and taken prisoner
He brought the great artists of Ealy
to his court and he encouraged both
art and letters: that much Is to his
credit He also built some Of the most
beautiful edifices in France. He died.
In middle age and was succeeded by
his son. Henry II.

Along with the high cost OF living is

It is the high cost OF dying Funeral

and clothing. II should be stated,
however, that all those engaged in the
business are not included IN the prof.
teers. There are honest undertakers
who charge no more than is just and
right for their goods and services.
But there are others who take advant-
age Of the distressed condition OF the
family and charge sums that are little
less than robbery of the dead.
II is a fact that all funerals are too
eypensive.> The dead should be. buried
decently and with becoming care. But
extravaganza is as much out of place
in death as in life. and modern
funerals have developed into ex-
travagance. The protest made. how
ever. is against profteering, not
against the general cost when the
profiteering is eliminated. The fam
lily into which death has come is not
