Our Confidence In Ameri-
ca and Her Institutions

All the world knows that Amer
ica is in chaotic condition, but
not all Of the world believes that
America has the brains, the will
and the determination to bring
sanity out of .bedlam.
We, however, have confidence
that such will be the final outcome
of the present era of birthstone
and brutality.
We believe the government at
Washington, and the congress of
chosen representatives Of the
people, will arise to the patriotic
heights necessary to restore order

larger the size of the coal the less
ash it produces. For example, fur
mace or egg coal contins Sc per
cent of ash, but the pea of the same
coal contains 14.6 per cent.
AS local conditions-draft,
stoves, furnaces-vary so greatly,
the most satisfactory way for you
to determine what fuel is best a.
dapted for your particular use is
to make test on one or two 100
pound bags of the various sizes.
You should record the quantity
andand the character of the ash,
the amount of smoke, the readi-
ness to kindle, the ease with which
the fire keeps or burns out; and,
of course, you must take care to
have conditions, like the amount
of cooking, ironing or heating, as
nearly as possible for all the tests.
1t is a good plan to begin each
test of the same day of the week.
In making your calculations take
account of the weather conditions
the amount and direction of the
wind, as they effect the draft and
the outside temperature.

seems to prove that banking the

promotes economy.
A days ashes, both from the
stove and from the furnace or
boiler should be sifted periodically
to determine the completeness of
the combustion. If a fresh kitchen
fire is kindled each day consider,
able coke and unburned coal will
be recovered. If the fire is con-
tinuous, as in the case of the fur
mace, probably not enough coaI
would be obtained to warrant the
time and trouble involved in sift-
ing. That will surely be the case
if the furnace is operated with
deep beds of ashes and coal, about
six inches and ten inches respec-
lively.

CABINET OFFICER URGES PEOPLE TO
 SAVE THE WASTE
Remember the Junk Dealer When Cleaning House This Spring,
 Says Alexander

WASHINGTON. April 6.-In dis cussing the reclamation of waste, Secretary of Commerce J. w. Alex ander made the following announce ment:
 Spring is here and with it comes Spring housekeeping. The house. wives will, in cleaning out the house, throw away or burn great quantities of waste. The lessons learned dur ing the war should not be forgot ten; let it be borne in mind that the reclamation of waste Is a prob- lem which is not only fitted for war times but for the times of peace as we'll The argument which may be advanced from time to time that the utilization of waste material in times other than war is not neces- sary, is fallacious, because it is very essential that some means of off setting the H. C.. l.. be found.
 Do not waste, waste-but turn it back into the channels of com merce. You will be surprised at the tidy little sum of money that can be derived by turning over all character of old papers. rags, rubber, metals, and other odds and ends to the junk dealers who will in turn start this waste back into useful trades. Tt has been estimated that the value of unreclaimed waste material throughout .the United States in the form of paper, rubber metals, etc. is about $5O,0OO, 100000. Fully SC per cent. of this material can be re claimed through the proper efforts. '

Frank Erne, Old Time
 Boxer, 45 Years Old

This is the fifty-fifth birthday of Frank Erne, the former lightweight champion who took the title from Kid Lavigne in a bout at Buffalo in 1889, and lost it to Joe Cans in the first round of 8 bout at Fort Erie in 1902.
 Erne was born in Zurich, Switzerland, but was reared in Buffalo, where he gained his first knowledge of boxing while working as a pinboy in the bowling alley of an athletic club. After losing his title to Cans, the Swiss boy took on Jimmy Britt, and was knocked out by the Californian.
 He then retired from the ring, al- though he took another whir1 at the old game in 1908, when he went to
 Paris and defeated a fighter named
 Curley Watson. In his early career as a boxer in Buffalo and New York Erne fought such good men as George rStddors, Solly Smith, Joe Leonard,
 Ja~ Skelly, Young Griffo, and Geo. Dixon, and never got worse than a draw until '97 when he lost to F,lah- erty and Dixon. In 1899 he was at 1 his best, and after whipping Dal l Hawkins, the California terror, and | George Elbows McFadden, he an- l nexed the title of George Lavigne.
 In making weight for a contest with
 Terry McGovern he weakened himself
 so that he never fully recovered his
 former endurance and speed.

Whether we like it or not, our iso- 1ation is gone. We belong with the nations of the world. The League offers the only hope for the perman- ent suppression of milftarism and of unjust attacks upon the weak.

 The League will attack the prob Iems of disease and labor unrest.
 The league does not claim to be perfect-it is subject to amendment
 We are free to withdraw by giving two years notice.

* x # Ready to Withdraw for the Prohibition Ticket

17 HE national prohibition party U never had any numerical strength worth while, but it has been in the running since 1872.
 Aaron s. Watkins, the nominee of the party this year, sees the absurdity of keeping up the fight now that pro- hibition is an accomplished fact.
 But Governor Cox and Senator Harding are committed to prohibition and MT. Watkins declares himself ready to withdraw if either one of them gives him the assurance that the Eighteenth amendment will be faith fully upheld. It is safe to say that both will accede to his simple terms.
 Nothing is to be gained, as the Watkins vote would be negligible. But the proposition is of some note. Throughout the prohibition campaigns the Anti-Saloon League achievements have been the result of political ma nipulation in one or the other old parties. It might have been thought that earnest prohibitionists would

 Although he had passed through the most exciting experience that ever came to him, he told the story without ap- parent emotion and with astonishing calmness, not forgetting the smallest de- tail The amazing part of it to me was when he related how he had grabbed Laidlow, a brokers clerk who chanced to enter the office just as the robber made his demand for money, and had forcibly held him in front of himself until the bomb went off A few trivial scratches on his face was the only marks on MT.

A $25,OOO,OOO Crop Is in Dire Danger

7H HE legislature cannot afford to J adjourn without having taken adequate steps to eliminate the bean lady bug. It menaces a crop valued at $25 1000, ,000. If it is allowed to re- main in Alabama other states will not only quarantine against our cow peas and soy beans, the entire bean family, but they will also quarantine against our hay, because it is in bales of hay that the adult lady bug travels and they are the means through which she extends her realm of de- struction.
 There is no doubt about the seri- ousness of the menace. The ento- mologists of seven southern states have passed on that. The legislature cannot afford to ignore their report.
 Laymen must accept the verdict of these quiet men of science who go to the root of things in their labora- tories and learn the causes of what happens and how to put an end to these causes. The state of Alabama owes it's strides in agricultural prog ress to their earnest and painstaking researches. When they tell us of dan- ger we may rest assured it is there A $25,ooo,0oo crop is fully worth saving.

* * * South Interested Tn the Really Big Issues

zr is interesting to know how the
 people of a section of the coun- trv feel with regard to great issues. According to compilation of answers to ouestionnaires sent out by the Fl- delity and Deposit Company of Mary land. the east-south-central states, consisting of Tennessee, Kentucky Mississippi and Alabama, are thinking a lot about our foreign relations.
 The question was this: "List in the order of their relative importance conditions which will influence the voters of your territory in casting their vote for President" The condl- tions ranked by the answers as tol- lows: Foreign relations, industrial questions, high cost of living, prohibi- ton, taxation, railroad policy of tie present administration, dissatisfaction with present administration, radical movements
 Broadly translated, this order of importance strongly suggests that the east-south-central states regard our relations with other peoples as the paramount national issue, with in dustrial matters coming next. A more liberal interpretation indicates that Alabamians, Tennesseeans, Mis- sippians and Kentuckians wish the League of Nations for the stability of the world so that we can do busi- ness with other nations.
 It is quite natural that prohibition should have taken fourth place in in terest. That is now in the constitu- tion and the south rests when issues land there.
 We are not concerned much down here about radical movements, be- cause we do not have tLem. We are too American for that. The east south-central section is altogether well-poised and primarily interested in progress of solid and tasting kind.

 These proceedings took three weeks. Then an official called to test the in- strument and, after admiring the in- stallation. remarked, You must have possessed some influence to get this done."
 At the time of the latest advice from England the subscriber was still unable to get his first call through to central from his new telephone.
