 gruesome; city of the dying Is more ppropriatc-and the latter phrase describes the Vienna of today
 ITO recall Vienna as it was-gay, mu-. sical and dancing-is only to heighcen the contrast" says bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the Ma tional Geogra phic Society.
 "Recollections of the 'prettiest sight
 in Europe, when thousands of children joined the procession in the Prater at Whitsuntde. only emphasizes the poig- nant tragedy of those other thousands, now in hospitals, too weak and sick to cry for food.
 "The Prater, three times the size of Washington's Rock Creek park, sym bolized the Viennese love of outdoors, which climate of changeful variety could not quench. There, scarcely out of earshot of each other, the famous military bands played music which later was to be hummed by home-going Amer ican theater audiences. Tame deer were as plentiful as the friendly squirrels of Richmond's capitol park.
 Fourth. city of Europe before the war, as large as our own Chicago, vienna seems doomed, not to temporary suffer- ing, like many another European city, but to permanent disability. She was
 important principally for being the seat of government of an empire of some 5o. 0O0,000 people and rich natural resources. Thus she was like Washington, D. C., only her accretion of prestige, culture, and population extended from Roman times.
 While the population of Austria Hun gary was but half that of the United States, Vienna was the art, musical, and tourist center of a population fairly comparable to that of the United States.
 Therefore yienna's position today may be likened to that of Washington, sf culd the American capital suddenly be- come the chief city of an area equal orly to that of Virginia, with popula- tion little more than that of Pennsyl- Ivania. To complete the comparison, one must imagine this Virginia trimmed with new born and none too friendly na- tions. That would mean it's nine mill liens of people could not buy foodstuffs, coal. or raw materials from adjoining states That is Vienna's plight today. '.vienna abounds in relics of her former glory.

HIS PROGRESS

From London Tit-Bits.
 Tommy Hodge, who had been ap- prentice to Farmer Hicks, had not proved what might be called a con spicuous success, and so when old MT Hodge came along one day to ask what progress the lad was making the old farmer looked dubious
 Well" he said, "tisn't as l want to discourage you or your son either. He don't do nothing wrong-nor nothing at all ii e can 'elp 1t. But I will say that, in my opinion, if your son "a another hand ed want another pocket to put 1t in.''

I kept at it is along as it was light. and when the sun wen; down I got a lantern and in potterins around the barn found that one of my prize heifers had just dropped fine calf I do not say that she did it to

Home Garden Time
 Is Now at Hand

e PRING is approaching and the 0 time for making the home gar den is at hand Early vegetables should be planted the latter part of February.
 During the war, garden activity was urged. Every householder with a small plot of ground was expected to produce food products. The re- suits were well worth while.
 Now that the war is ended, there is still need of the garden. A large production of truck will have much to do with bringing down the high cost of living.
 The canning clubs will take up the surplus and will make gardens more profitable than ever. The Alabama Extension Service will cooperate with the home gardeners and the boys and girls canning clubs and the results will be of far-reaching benefit.
 By the first of March the garden should be in flourishing condition. Let's have no diminution in the ex- tent of the patch planted. We can not have too much canning mate ri

of the same opinion, but its mem- hers disagree as to details of more or less importance. As MT. Hoover said yesterday, there can be no real peace Gas long as we hang the treaty in the air, for we are a part of it"
 The American nation is just now confronted by many domestic ques- tions of the utmost seriousness. No progress whatever has been made to- ward settling some of them and this is chiefly due to an eight-months' wIangle over ratification of the peace treaty. If ratification is made an is- sue in the presidential election, can didates will learn that it is a mat ter over which the people have grown impatient. They feel, not without good reason, that politics has been partly to blame for the delay and they have no wish to see the con- troversy protracted until after the next presidential election.

Cincinnati's Steady
 Growth in Population

TIN the census of 1910 Cincinnati ll was one of the larger cities that fell short of it's population estimate. For the first time Cleveland out stripped the metropolis of the Ohio valley. Cleveland had a population of five hundred and sixty thousand six hundred and sixty three, while Cincinnati made a showing of only three hundred and sixty-three thou sand five hundred and ninety-one.
 In the census of 1920 Cincinnati is credited with four hundred and one thousand one hundred and fifty six. As this is close to recent local estimates, there will be no complaint of the enumeration. Cincinnati has large suburban population. In- cluding Norwood and other popu- lous towns adjoining Cincinnati and Covington, Newport and other cities on the Kentucky side of the Ohio, the consolidated population that will be shown in the ten-mile limit bull letin to be issued later, will total about six hundred and fifty thou sand.
 Cleveland is now claiming a pop ulation of seven hundred and twenty five thousand. The census figures will probably be short of that, but it will be close to seven hundred thousand.
 Cincinnati can never hope to catch up with Cleveland, but it is still rich and progressive city, and in art and music will long surpass the lake city.
 Vienna, a correspondent tells us. is no longer one of the worlds gayest cities. In recent months there hasn't been enough gayety in New York's cabaret belt to make the visitor from Keokul, oshkosh or Walla waua sit up and take notice.

England makes many cheeses. Chesh- ire is made largely in the district from which it takes it's name. and it's fa- vorite in Manchester, Liverpool and the county of Lancaster Three modes are used in making it; earlyrpening medium ripening and the late ripenlng process. There is yet another, known as the "Stilton Cheshire,'' which is per- meated with green mold. The Ched- dar I have referred to. The Stilton, a solid, rich, white, originally made at Stilon, is now produced most exten- sively in Leicestershire. Cheddar. Cheshire and Chiffon are England's big three.

Another cheese we use in large quantities comes from Italy, and is 1 known ar Parmesan. Ii is made from skinned milk and is at its best when three or four. years old. It is a hard dry. grainy, and highly favored cheese It is white within, but it's coat is so treated with charcoal that it shines like jet. It is often grated and used as thiekepipg for soups, and with maccaroni. They weigh from 60 to 80 pounds We get from the Dutch among the best dairy farmers of Eu- rope the well known Edam cheese. all most as big as a football, and is always globe shaped, weghig about three hounds. It is cream cheese yellow within. but wearing bright crimson coat
 These are some of the principal Euro pean cheeses. I could tell of Buigar- ian and Denmarkian and other coun- tries specialties butI am about to my rows end. and will close by saying that the United States now manufac- lures nearly all the cheese it consumes and exports about fifty times as much as it imports. wherefore we should be glad and get in behind our dairies in Alabama.

STANDARD THE WORLD NEEDS
High Moral Example Set by Robert
Louis Stevenson Well Worth
Living Up To.

Robert Louis Stevenson, refusing to
take all that was offered him for a
poem he did not think his best, wrote:
II do not live much to God and honor,
but | will not wlllfully turn my back
on BOTH"
In the modest words lies deep the
only standard by which a man can
hope to satisfy himself with his life.
1t is n standard the world today sore
ly needs. We hear of unrest and shall
hear of it. Why not, with so many
men and women trying to live up to
n standard set by someone else? IL
they succeed, there is no happiness in
1t. for it has no sanction from their
own hearts.
The man we count successful in
material affairs and expect to find
happy is never one who has reached
n certain place But when man
has set a mark for himself in posses
sions and has kept that mark in view
until he reached it. we call him sue
cessful. 1t may have been a $4,000
home; it may have been one million
dollars. But it was his own goal.
1t is not less true OF his inner life.
We do not expect much of man who
has no standard for himself of right
and wrong. And he cannot claim any
right to contentment. IL his only NOR
al standard is the law. he earns only
the minimum of satisfaction. Steven
son. refusing money which he needed
because he thought he had not earn
ed it, is a thousand times more to be
envied than the man who takes a hun
dred or a million dollars he has not
earned. because no law will punish
him.-Milwaukee Journal.
