WE ARRIVE,


Synopsis of Preceding Chapters.
Enid Haines is the old maid aunt-of-
all-work in the Haines family. She
lives with her brother Jim, a farmer;
and two daughters-Laura, in love
with a young farmer nearby, and
Ends favorite of the family, Violet,
not vet IS.
Violet insists on going to college in
the city, and Aunt Enid gives her her
small inheritance and decides to go
along to take care of her. The vii
layers gossip about this, since Ends
one-time beau, Mark Upjohn, is back
in the village, looking for a wife, Enid,
being 50 and looking so, is considered
almost hopelessly old and on the
shelf. Mark proposes and Enid re-
fuses him, to go to the city with
Violet.
Chapter %.
The rest of that summer was rather
painful. We were a house divided
Violet and I against the others, with
only James. perhaps, neutral. But
then, on one ever paid any attention
to James. He came and went silently !;
he ate almost without speaking
throughout the meal, and in the even
ings he lay on his face on the lawn,
tired from the field work. Esther, of
course, worried over him catching cold
and the consequent expense of doc
tors. and Violet worried for fear he
might catch cold and be seriously i'll
and miserable
The work increased as harvesting
grew nearer. l suspected that the
weather-it was unusually hot and un
usually damp that summer, and even
Laura felt it was affecting Esther's
health. At least I gave her that ex
cuse for her constant ill-humor.
So I did more than my share OF
work, to relieve her as much as posi-
ble, and I managed to do many OF
Laura's tasks, too, so as to allow he1
more time for her new passion OF
embroidering. vi had to be excused
from most of the work, for our High
School was not of the best and she
entered college with conditions. These
she was to remove by taking examin
ations in the Fall, and she was work
ing hard at her books over the
vacation.
I'm glad it's almost time to CO.

JACK COOMBS SEES
 GREAT TIGER STAFF
Believes That He Will Coach Hurlers In 1920-Expects to Do
 His Best
From Sporting News.

From Sporting News.
 Jack Coombs, in spite of his poor suc- cess as a manager with the Phillies, evidently believes in himself as coach of pitchers, and also actually believes Hugh Jennings will let him have some- thing to say about coaching the Detroit twirlers. for In a letter written to a friend in Philadelphia Coombs has this to say:
 q have not heard from Detroit only to have them send me my contract. In my chat with Jennings l made all ar engagements about the southern trip. l am to go south a couple of weeks ear Her than the rest of the men and will have all of the pitchers report to me at that time. That will give me an opportunity to look them all over, and hope to help some of them a little.
 As Hugh said I am to have full charge of the battery men, and during the season | am the one who will do the picking and pulling, his argument was this Any business to be successful must have men at the head of depart ments who have made success of rhat particular department
 "I reckon I have been able enough in my line to take charge of the pitch ing. and so am taking the position under an agreement that I am the boss of my end. and if the battery men dc not come up to expectations, l am the one who will be responsible. You can bet your life that l will do the very best I can."

DAIRY ORDINANCE l UP IN CONFERENCE
Milk Men Want MOdifica- tions Made In New Milk
 Measure

About 15 representative dairymen of the county conferred with the city commits sion for three solid hours on the newly adopted milk ordinance yesterday after
 noon and urged that certain restrictions contained therein be removed. The conference was held behind locked
 doors and was declared executive, but it is known that the two most important
 requests of the dairymen were for re- moval of the separate bottle clause and
 for a reduction in the minimum bac-
 teria requirements.
 The milk ordinance as recommended by
 Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, and
 effective next month, requires that all
 milk sold by local dairymen be delivered in bottles The dairymen state that where milk is sold in large quantities this is impracticable and hardship on them.
 They declare that it is next to impos- s.ble for them to come up to the Ac- teria requirements ordered by the health department and that the enforcement of the milk ordinance vii bankrupt many of them.
 ks The commissioners have taken nc action on the requests of the dairymen and decline to state what disposition they will make of the matter In the meantime the dairymen are preparing te test the legality of the ordinance by oo- taining an injunction against 1t Tn case it is made effective.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Eighteenth Amendment

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The decision by the supreme court of
 the United States. four pudges dissent
 ing, that the volstead law, prohibiting
 the manufacture and sale of PTS per
 cent beer is constitutional, has given
 rise to a great deal of editorial com
 ment by the newspapers. some of it
 evidently based on ae misconception of
 the questions decided. q It has been
 stated, for instance, that this decision
 makes it certain that the supreme court
 will hold that the eighteenth amend
 ment is valid. since 1t disposes of the
 claim that that measure deprives cit
 zens of their liberty and property
 without due process of law. This issue
 was not squarely passed upon by the
 court, and even though it had decided
 that the provisions of the fourteenth amendment were not violated, such de- cision would not apply to the questions raised in the suits brought to test the validity of the eighteenth amendment The sections of the volstead law passed upon by the supreme court were those relating to the warlprohibltion act. It would see mthat the court held that in a wartime emergency property can be confiscated without compensa- tion. This clearly has no relation to the Eighteenth amendment, which is in no sense a war measure. and cannot be justified on the grounds on which the war prohibition law was sustained. The supreme court has never yet passed upon the greatest issue involved in prohibitory laws that can be raised under the federal constitution; Can a citizen be deprived of his liberty or property without due process of law?' If that question is decided in the nega- tive the eighteenth amendment is void and of no effect.
 To decide that the eighteenth amend l ment is valid the supreme court must hold:
 1. That 1s0 members of Congress. S6 less than a majority of both houses. can legally submit constitutional amend
 ment to the state Legislatures. ?. That the Legislatures of states i whose constitutions declare that their citizens cannot be deprived of their lib- erty and property without due process of law. can lawfully ratify a measure I that violates their state constitution. I 8. That the "unalienable rights" to | life. liberty and property. guaranteed ! by the federal constitution, can be taken away by an amendment that is in direct violation of the letter and spirit
 of the fundamental rights that the con- stitution was adopted to maintain. ! E. J. SERVER. Chairman Executive Committee. l 542 5th ave. New York. Jan. IS. 1920. I

|CAA|RMEN NAMED
 FOR CAMPAIGN ON
 GOOD ROADS BONDS
Leaders of All Political Fac tions Unite In Movement Which Promises to Get
 Alabama Out of Mud
By DAVE HOLT

Alabama is organized for the good roads bond issue election of February 16. State Campaign Chairman W. F. Feagin
 went about this work with the same care and attention to detail as though there was strong and organized opposi- tion to the only plan yet proposed to get Alabama out of. the mud by building dependable highways connecting all county seats.
 The state organization, which is the Alabama Highway Improvement Asso- citation, has appointed one or more chair men for each of the counties and the |county chairmen have appointed com mittees of not less than three for each beat or precinct.
 The chief duty of these men before election day is to spread the facts about the Alabama plan broadcast in their prospective political subdivisions, and then to see that the qualified electors turn out and vote on February Is.
 The men behind the movement are keen1y alive to the permanent moral eff. feet of an overwhelming majority for the issue. and will not be content with a
 small vote and a small majority. which might be taken to indicate lack of in- |terest in the subject of good roads for |every county.
 | In selecting the men who are to serve lin counties and beats no thought has been given to their past political party Tor factional alignment. They represent beth of the great parties, all shades of opinion on the question of prohibition

In a field day competition at Cincinnati on De- tober 12 1912, Lobert circled the bases in 1s 4-5 seconds. On the same date Lobert tied for first place in a 1O0-yard dash His rival was Vincent Campbell, then of the Pirates.
 Now Campbell was another fast man who probably would be in the big leagues today if he cared for base- ball. He was big fellow, who could hit, run and field. He was a Tive wire" with the Pirates, and took the hop to the Federal League. He went good with the Indianapolis club, and also with the Newark Feds, When peace came he decided to retire from the diamond for the automobile busi- ness. All efforts to have him recon. sider were unavailing.
