From the Brooklyn Eagle
 |1N UssELL SAGE was probably the lN\ most close-fsted millionaire on
 . record. There are many stories about his niggardly ways But seldom has a better closeup picture been given of the famous skinflint than that presented in
 the autobiography just published by Put nams called "Charlel Chapin's Story" The author, a former city editor of the New York Evening World, was a relative of Sage's.
 Russell Sage was the most penurious man I ever knew" writes Chapin. "In all his. life he never spent more than go for suit of clothes or s4 for pair of shoes. He boasted to me that ne made go suit last him from five to ten years, and he wore them until they were more thereadbare and shabby than the clothes worn by the man who cleaned his office. He was more than 80 years old before he put on his first suit of underwear. T have sat in his shabby little bed chamber when we were going out to an evening entertainment and watched him sew button on his coat or memo a ren. in some part of his clothing l have seen him draw off his shoes and display no embarrassment because his toes were peeping through the holes in his socks. have walked a mile with him through congested streets to return an empty min- eral water bottle and collect the nickel ho had deposited with the dealer.

Had this not been a campaign year, and had not the book been so closely identified with "certain sinister interests" Mr. Barnes could have divided the profits with this "Mr. Young" and nothing would have been said about the trans action.

as * < Nashville Wants to Buy Old Hickory Powder Plant

0AA AAASROAy OWA(k 1oAk
 ~ SEPTEMBER 30 the United States 0 government will open bids for the Old Hickory powder plant, near Nashville. It represents an invest ment of approximately ss0,000, ,0o0. The public-spirited business men of Nashville have organized and liber- ally financed the Nashville Industrial Corporation for the purpose of buy ing the plant and keeping it in op- eration.
 The motive of this organization is highly commendable and the reasons why it would be much better for the plant to be taken over by local cap- italists, instead of being sold to an outside bidder who will most prob- ably wreck it for a quick profit, are unanswerable. The governments in terests must, of course, be protected but the dismantling of such large enterprise which was built at the cost of millions of dollars would be a shocking economic waste.
 The business men and financiers composing the Nashville Industrial Corporation are fully qualified to op- crate the Old Hickory plant and make it great asset to the industrial wealth, not only of Nashville. the state of Tennessee and the south, but to the whole country. Eighty-million dollar plants are none too plentiful in America, even in these days of huge manufacturing enterprises.
 All Nashville is keenly interested in the result of the competitive bids to be opened in Washington. The Age-Herald hopes the Old Hickory plant will not be sold, merely for de- struction. The government would not
 be able to recover anything like the original investment, no matter how advantageous the terms of sale might be.
 If Nashville succeeds in it's laudable
 ambition to gain control of the plant
 and save it for industrials purposes
 there will be general satisfaction iii
 the south. So far as possible great
 industries which sprang into existence
 to meet the needs of war should be
 conserved.

THE AERIAL HAIL By Minnie Irving. Through the swamps and the deserts,

 bonnet on, And blood on his tomahawk blade, Disputing the trail with the panther
 and wolf. In sunshine and rain, and the stress Of the snow and the blow. and at 40

 Went the venturesome pony express. Ere the whistle and roar of the engine
 awoke The silence of mountain and stream, When the auto was only a nebulouc

 steam,
 A clanking of piston and wheel And the wilderness shook to the thun-
 derous flight Of the train on it's highway of steel. The clang of it's bell and the shritk | from it's throat Sent clamorous echoes afar As it flashed by the depots and croSs-

 on the wind. A sound of harpstrings and drums.

Women Attend School

''The fact that the women of Bir- mingham and Jefferson county are taking an interest in politics and are trying to educate themselves along this line was proven by the large number attending the citizenship school" said Mrs. Brenton Fisk. Approximately 50C were enrolled at the school this week and we are expecting even a larger number at the school next week.
 "The women are taking their new responsibility seriously and are am bilious to know the political game in order that they may cast an intelligent vote. We expect to conduct two ad- ditional schools for the new voters and arrangements are being made for night classes"

THE LEAGUE PREVENTS TWO WAR.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Referring to the dipute between his country and Finland over the possession of the Aland Islands, Jurisdiction of which has now been assumed by the council of the League of Nations, the Swedish prime minister, Hjalmar Brant- ing. says: Sweden has complete con fidence in the league as means Of pre- venting future wars. and proof or this lies in the fact that we unhesitatingly placed our case in it's hands"
 The League of Nations referred to is the one which the occupant of the front porch at Marion, O., increasingly de- nounces as a failure; which every re- publican orator insist no nation can join without surrendering its independence' which the senatorial cabal at Wash ington has falsely stigmatized as an alliance to promote war, and wnicn every supporter of the old >milltaristic and imperialistic order in both hemis : pheres is fighting tooth and nail.
 Prime Minister Granting says further more: All that the league needs 10 make it most effective and certain in strument for reducing wars to the ab- solute minimum is the participation of the United States" All this sounds like a democratic stump speech. but in truth it is the conviction of thirty nine self governing nations solemnly proclaimed in the interest of humanity and peace, and only yesterday illustrated anew when Poland and Lithuania, the latter not yet a member. agreed to suspend hostilities, and refer their quarrel to the League for settlement.

Balloon Racing Popular

Balloon racing is, I believe, the coming sport of America" said Allen R. Hawley. former president of the Aero Club of America. Tt is one of the cleanest sports that we have. Thefe is very little possibility of unfair play, and Americans as a whole prefer a sport where there is obviously no cheating. Ini balloon racing there are so many elements of chance as well as the necessity of great skill. Besides that the free feeling one has as the balloon rises under foot and drifts away with the winds, leaving it to the elements as to which way it will go and where it will land Is truly fasci- hating. It is bound to hold universal appeal for youth

School of Commerce

T feel a real qualification at the manner in which the young men and women of Birmingham are taking to the new school of commerce, which Howard College is to open October 1 in the Chamber of Commerce with our backing" said o. l.. Bum, general manager of the Chamber of Commerce. "The director, l.. c. Darlington, had practically signed up seventeen young men and couple of young women by Wednesday evening and he has been at it only a few days. The chamber will give one scholarship and business con- cerns expect to give several of them to their young men.
 The sessions are to cover thirty weeks, and the school will be held at nights so that young men and women who work in the day time may receive the benefit. Judging from the fine start. we have made the school of com- merce is going to be a pronounced success'

Cotton Spotted

said T. F. Scale of Livingston, "and am sorry to report that cotton in my section is spotted, some being good, while much has been eaten by the boil weevil. The grass is holding out re- markedly well, but the low price of cattle is bit discouraging. My coun- ty has demonstrated beyond question that it is a cattle raising one, and all that Is needed to make the people investments in the industry. One com- forting thing, the hog market is strong"

Fsyors Increase

"I think that 1t is nothing but right in salaries" says NJ. A. Densmore, To- cal attorney, and if the members of the present session of the legislature do what is right, they will pass the bill that is now before them without delay.
 "A Judges salary should be large enough to attract the best men for the place. The present salary if not in- creased in the future. I am very much afraid, will not do this. We have some very good judges now. but their sala- ries are far below what is paid judges in other cities who do not have as much work to do and who hold shorter terms of court,'
