A man could save lot of money and
 a lot of litigation if he would consult
 his wife about his troubles instead of
 consulting lawyer-that Is, if he has
 the right kind of wife. Another damli Once upon time a
 man who held political job died of
 overwork.
 Once in while wife let's her hus-
 band have the last word---when 1t comes in the form of an abject apology. The grouch who put in all his time last summer wishing for winter is now putting in all his time wishing for sum- mer.
 People are so fond of bull and salve that thermometers and newspapers are always being abused for telling the truth.
 The prosperity that most people can't stand is the prosperity of other people It doesn't matter how big ioafer . man may be, you can always make a hit with him by telling him that he is overworked. A husband quits regarding his wife as a jewel after he discovers that she Is set in her ways. In a country town 1t is a cardinal offense to spend money. But in a city lit is cardinal offense to save it. In spite of all the articles she reads about chefs preparing banquets yo, can't make an old fashioned woman be lieve that any man can cook as good

 Then came the gift that the hills had for him--the Pentlands, with their passes, whose very names like Cauldstane Slap and Windy Gowl, shudder with lonesome memories; where smugglers stole through the mirk from hiding to hiding-hole, and shepherds in their plaids. with their ever-watchful collies sauntered on through rain and mist, driving their slow flocks before them where gypsies had their squabbles and the Covenanters. footsore and heart-weary, marched to disaster and to death. They became to him with affectionate insistence of heart- tug, the Hills of Home"

 He thinks, rightly, that prosecution of criminals and making them sorry they took the wrong road should pro- ceed swiftly. And he is undoubtedly right. He is especially eloquent and thoughtful when he suggests that at least 25 hangings should occur in Bir- mingham in six months Numerous ty that is constantly troubled by crimes of violence.
 At this crucial time in world af- fairs" says Judge Wilkinson, when the spirit of unrest Is so prevalent, 1t is highly important that the criminal element be thoroughly disciplined and that we not break loose from the moor ings that have sustained our society against the ravages of time. The en- forcement of law and the preservation of order is the primary and paramount duty of the government. All other mat. ters are secondary"
 That is truth which people should keep uppermost in their minds. A self governing people cannot we'll afford to bear the reproach of being less than master of its criminal element. Society should at all times stand flat on the proposition that men who commit crimes must do so at their peril, and that the peril will not be long delayed that courts put into their prosecutions that make the violent and lawless man dizzy in the head and weep for. his

 The best of all laws for the con- sumer is to buy what he wants when he wants it. That is the safe course between extravaganza and parsimony, between waste and niggardliness, both of which are evils to be equally avoided. In the end it is economy, for economy consists as much in keeping ones self supplied with necessities and legitimate comforts as it does in watching the rise and fall of prices.

From the Montgomery Advertiser. 7 UDGS HORACE c. WILKINSON who recently resigned as one of S the officers of the Jefferson circuit, falls in with the latest popular fad in Birmingham. that of discussing ways and means of putting down the lawless element in that city of mixed and float
 ing population. There is much sense in
 some of his observations and sugges- tions. His conclusion is that Jefferson
 county should have not less than 25
 hangings in the next six months. After
 the bootlegger, and not the law abiding
 citizen, will have to abandon our high
 ways after nightfall."
 The pith of Judge wilkinson's re-
 marks is that prompt trials should be the rule, plus hard boiled determina-

 solicitor. Tn this district" he says, "as
 cases frequently have to be nol1e days from the date of the crime, be- cause witnesses have moved or found employment in different place. With a large floating population like we have at present there can be no ade-

@ XTRAVAGANCE leads to high lG CT prices. It is waste. There is no excuse for it at any time, be- cause it is upsetting and, in the end, facilitating. No one comments ex- travagance, although many practice it out of the sheer enjoyment of hav- ing pocketfuls of money.

Jasper Experiences
 a Destructive Fire
# # *

5r, IRMINGHAM extends it's sym- ID pathy to Jasper, which was visited yesterday by a disastrous fire. Even so prosperous and pro- gressive a town as the Metropolis of Walker" can i'll afford a property loss estimated at $25O,0OO and the destruction of large part of it's business section.
 Jasper is a near and friendly neighbor to Birmingham. The rela- tions between the two cities have al- ways been cordial. They are united by strong business and social ties. The citizens of Jasper are almost as much at home here as they are in Walker county and Birmingham takes a keen interest in Jasper's welfare.
 The business men who suffered the heaviest losses yesterday will set to work to rebuild. Jasper is not the kind of town to mourn any misfor- tune for long, when it can be reme- died. It has the pluck and the energy to survive worse disasters.

Let All Tubs Stand
 on the Same Bottom

N LL sorts of remedial legislation EA for the benefit of agriculture will be asked of the next Congress, according to the present schedule. Wheat is as much a petitioner as cotton.
 Rubber, silk, coffee, wool and 8 few other items that have likewise ridden the toboggan downward are not so far recorded as among the ap- pellants for relief.
 By the time the various congress sional committees complete their programme and agree on what should be done for the farmer, the latter will be we'll on the way to making an- other crop and will be making that crop at lower cost than the last one. He will be paying less for what he has 
 to purchase. If he has been prudent during the past few years of large crops and high prices and has put by a comfortable surplus, as he should have done, he is soon to discover that he has fared as well as the average and will lose interest in the things sought to be done for him. Congress should do what it can to facilitate the exportation of Ameri- can farm products. Whatever stands in the way that it can legitimately remove, it should remove; what ma chinery it can legitimately establish to promote exports of all kinds of American products, whether of farm or factory, should be established.
 No particular interest should be cradled, because cradling develops inertia and snuffs out initiative.

 Please accept this in a way of congratulation on the part of "one" negro preacher who has had 50 years of experience in the southern land and knows that our best friends are among the white people of the southern states.

 REV. w. H. HUNT,
 Secretary of the New Era Conven-
 ton of Alabama.
 In his communication MT. Foote says the school bonds were voted despite the business depression," ana continues, "We feel that the negro needs to be encouraged to remain in the south, and that he should know he has real friends among the sub- stantial white men of the south."
 So much has been written on this subject that it would hardly seem necessary to recapitulate, but in view of the fact that there is much unrest among southern negroes and they are led to believe, by some misguided leaders, that they will fare better in other parts of the country, the fact cannot be emphasized too often that in spite of their sins of omission and commission, the white people of the outh are the best friends the negroes have.

Negro Preacher Is Grateful
 for School in Mississippi

TT is always pleasure for The u Age-Herald to recite instances where southern white people have ex- tended helping hand to their col ored neighbors. This is the dominant spirit in the south, in spite of mob outrages and attempts of white and black. agitators to create discord be- tween the two races.

Hunt, a colored preacher of Birmingham, wrote let ter of appreciation to the mayor of Hattiesburg, which was published conspicuously in Hattiesburg news paper. Mir. F. W. Foote, vice president of the First National bank of Hat tiesburg, requests The Age-Herald to reproduce this letter, which was as follows:

 mingham Age-Herald of November
 24. 1920. that your good city and

Teachers in Training

More attention is being paid to teacher training now than ever be- fore" said Prof E. B. Erwin. assistant county superintendent of education. Beginning December 20, the state teachers examination will be held in Birmingham for three days, but the number of applicants at this time will in all probability be smaller than usual, as so many teachers are taking courses at normal training schools.
 Training of teachers in this county is getting to be quite an interesting matter, as all of the teachers, both white and colored, are enlisted in some form of training work. All are taking the reading circle work, and this re- qIires three professional books each year and approximately 25 hours of conference work. More than 100 teach CTS are taking the Peabody normal course"
