CONCRETE ON THE FARM.

II there Is any one thing more than another
that has aided the farmer In making his farm
stead more attractive. his live stock more COM
Portable and his farm more valuable. II Is con-
crete on the farm. II is one of the most eco
nomcal and suitable farn-building materials. In
permnnency 1t cannot be surpassed. In fact It
Is unequaled In this one respect. Concrete is
also one of the biggest factors In making build
ings rat and mouse proof. Needless to say. rats
and mice have always been a constant menace
to the farmers grain bins and cOrncribs. but the
widespread use Of concrete on the farm has great
ly reduced the damage done to stored Prains
Perhaps the greatest value of concrete, how
ever is the fact that 1t can be mixed by the farm
er himself. Instead Of having to depend upon
expensive masons and carpenters he can employ
his spare time In concrete construction. because
concrete work Is something that anyone can learn
with little practice.

Atlanta calls itself something extra, guess little old Birmingham isn't so far behind this year, with grand opera St- self to be at the Jefferson theatre to- morrow, matinee and night For the matinee performance, "L'Oracolo" and 'Pagliacci' will be the double perform ance, both well-known and well-loved operas. The night performance is to be La Boheme'' The matinee starts at ? o'clock sharp, and the night attrac- ton begins at 8. Musicians seem to de- light in putting their best selections at the very beginning of their opera so be sure and be on time, if you don't want to miss anything.
 The Lyric has a great headline act booked for it's patrons. The famous Breen family of dancers, with Miss N.s- lie Breen, a star, call their act "A Gen uine Novelty" This act will be at the Lyric the last half of the week, but it's just so clever that I had to spring it on you early.

You have laughed at Constance Tai- nadge in all her other big First National successes, but critics declare this Is the most entertaining Constance Talmadge production that has been brought to the screen. This super attraction comes to the Trianon this week. beginning Monday.
 ''The Love Expert" is proclaimed by eastern critics as the most delightfully."- original screen comedy of the year.
 As in almost every other Emerson-Loos attraction, a theme note based on popu- lar conception, serves as the idea about which the picture is built.
 Babs is a boarding school girl, utiliz- ing her time neither on trigonometry nor athletics-but on the subject of love.
 Chemically speaking, Babs arrives at certain formulas involving the love-mak- ing science, for which she will talk or fight. One of her pet theories is the fact that when a person is in love, upon holding the hand of the loved, his cheeks will take on- scarlet blush, his heart will syncopate and his pulse will accelerate.

Anent Catholics in
Public Office

tation and credulity of non. Catholics,
the United States Senate is a conspi-
cuous example. OF the 96 Senators
at Washington, only five are Catholics,
the rest being non-Catholic. In other
words, less than five per cent of the
members of the Senate are Catholics,
although the Catholic population would
entitle them to about twenty per cent.
The Pope Of Rome is not Interfering
in American politics. He is not try.
ing to gain temporal power in the
United States. Naturally, he and
other Catholic Prelates and Dignita-
ries would like to make America
Catholic, but all the other denomi-
nations are trying the same thing.
If the Catholics or the Baptists, or
the Jews, or the Mohammedans can
make America predominantly one
faith by gaining converts by teaching
and moral suasion, we cannot object,
so long as they do not combine Church
and State, or try to further their own
aims by tramping upon the religious
rights and privileges of others.
The fear of the Pope gaining tre-
mendous political power in this coun-
try, is a bugaboo created for propa.
ganda purposes by past masters at
the gentle art Of deception.
For making something out of moth
ing, coming religious prejudice into
gold, clothing falsehood in the guise
of truth, camouflaging un-American
theories In the cloak of patriotism,
and attacking liberty while pretend
ing to defend It, the anti Catholic agi-
tators, led by Watson and Parker take
the cake and the prize money.
For being guillible as suckers, fool
ish as geese, and ignorant as Hotten-
tot savages, the average anti Catholic
victim of the Menace and the Guar
dians of Liberty wins the prize by a
long margin.
The anti-Catholic movement arrays
neighbor against neighbor, arouses
hatred, breeds jealousy, creates un-
happiness, foments distrust, and is a
menace to the Republic.
Bigotry can do world of harm, but
it has never done a good thing since
