The ForuetfuI Parsou.

Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson tells
an amusing story Of an old West coun-
try parson who had to hold two serv-
YES, one in his own church and one
the church over the moor.
On arriving at the latter church he
got into the pulpit and said he was
awfully sorry, but he had forgotten
to bring a most admirable sermon
which he had written.
Luckily" he continued. "as came
across the moor. remembered a beau
ful story. which ! will tell you In

A misery landlord was going round
collecting his rents the other day. At

He patted her on the head and
started to search his pockets. saying:
81 must see what have got for you"
After searching his pockets for some
time he at last brought out from q re

As he handed II to the girl he said :

EnaIIsh Women Buying Farms.

Women In England are buying their
own farms or their own truck and gar
den spaces In rather conspicuous num-
bers. And this Is all an outcome Of
the tremendous work done by women
on the land during the war. The gen.
eral feeling Is that there viii not be
much room for he common female
farm laborer as time advances, but for
the woman who has little money and
who looks upon farming as her pro-
fession and her life work there Is ex-
cellent opportunity In this direction.
In the first place, on account of the
compact location Of the garden spaces
and the cities In England transporta-
ton Of foodstuffs Is easy. Then gar
den truck and flowers do grow abun-
dainty and profusely there, and always
ind ready markets.

Her Turn.

Nlne-year-old Edith came up from
Parke county to visit In Indianapolis.
And her grandmother was anxious to
entertain the youngster in the way
she thought would be most pleasing.
So every morning she would begin:
snow today We'll go here" or To-day
I suggest that we go out there" etc.
But Edith had desires OF her own,
and one morning after grandmother
had made her plans. which she termed
suggestions for the day, Edith looked
at her fixedly. GRANDMOTHER" she

WORKERS
 FACING DEUCE
Strike Ties Up Express and Parcel Post Getting Ex-
 cessiye Shipments

Workers at the Birmingham postof- flee, who last Sunday thought they were overloaded with labor yesterday afternoon were in the position of the camel that attempted to take on one more straw. At least that is the way they felt about it when word came from the east that huge shipments of parcel rost, due to the railroad strike, would continue in volume as the strike grew.
 It was explained by Postmaster R. B. Smyer that because of the freight em- hargoes, shippers were resorting to parcels post and every large postoffice in the country was feeling the effect of the big increase in business There is little express being received at some points, but soldiers are sending United States mail through and this mail is made up largely of parcels post ship ments
 Sundays at the Birmingham postoffice TOW are just like any other day, but Ed Norman, assistant postmaster, who arrived from Washington yesterday. announced that his committee had taken the matter up. along with others. with the Postmaster General and re : lief from Sunday work was promised as soon as arrangements could be made.

COMER AMENDMENT TO BE FEATURE AT
 COTTON MEETING
President Irwin of Civic Association Names Delegates to Convention
 In Washington
of Birmingham. Ala Statement February 2Sth, 1920.
 cOIIRCEC

Birmingham delegates to the American Cotton Association at Montgomery this week have been appointed by President Irwin of the Civic Association.
 The following have been named: J. 0. Thompson. w. M. Malone, Frank 5. White, c. R. Harsh, J. Il. Mccary. Frank S. Dixon, J. Knox Fleming, S. o. Smith. John II. Frye, A. Ash. P. J. Kidd, l.. M. Porter, T. L Tarrant W. E. Lesdy E. $. Munger, w. o. Broyles, H. J. Copeland, Louis Pizitz and James Weatherly.
 Considerable talk has been aroused in Birmingham by the news that the in- dorsement of the Conner amendment will be the big feature of the convention. The Conner amendment has stirred farmers and cotton exchanges from one end of the country to the other. It is said to be aimed at the cotton exchanges, and il passed, will be a great factor in taking from the cotton exchanges at New York and New Orleans the power to dictate the price to be paid for cotton raised py farmers in the south.
 The action of Congress on the amend ment will probably be the result of the action taken by the cotton men in their convention in Montgomery. If it is in dorsed by the American Cotton Associa- tion, it is practically certain that it will pass through Congress.

Manager Miles Bradford Is Beautifying the Grounds.
 Special Ceremonies

East Lake Park is coming to life after a long winters rest.
 With the appointment of new man ager. Miles Bradford, active work was begun in preparation for the crowds who will soon be seeking diversion from the heat of the city.
 The first care of the new manager was to place the lake, the main att traction of the park, in good condition. The bottom was dragged, all rubbish cleared away, and the winters growth Of pond lilies was destroyed. The boats have been repaired and painted, and the marks of rains and winds removed from the bath houses and piers.
 As soon as possible the grounds will he cleared, the dead leaves raked away, and the walks smoothed. MT. Bradford plans to Improve the promenade around the lake as much as possible, as this was one of the most popular features Of the park last year,
 One of the pleasant amusements of the park will be missed. The roller coaster will be torn down The shoot ing gallery will also be closed, because of the policy of the management to re- move the park from the class of a showground. and make it real amuse- ment center.
 Good music is promised every night, with facilities for dancing Other in- novations to make the park better are planned.
 May 1 has been set as the date of the opening of the park. Work on the inn rrovements will be rushed so that ev- erything will be finished by that day. Special ceremonies will attend the open ing, which will be the official begin ming of summer in Birmingham

SOCIAL UNIT PLAN
 LECTURE TONIGHT
Latest Development In City Upbuilding Explained at
 Civic Association

Dr. Courteney Dinwiddle, well known social worker. will arrive in Birmingham this morning at 9:3O from Cincinnati to address the Civic Forum at the meeting tonight in the Civic Association rooms. twenty-fourth floor of the Jefferson County Bank building.
 Dr. Dinwddie will be met at the sta ing at the Tutwiler, will be shown over the residential and industrial sections of the city by J. C. Blackwell of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railr oad Company H. Reeves Howell of the Y. M c, A., C. L. Harold of the Civic Association and others.
 The purpose of the trip over the city is for Dr. Dinwddie to get material to adapt his speech to Birmingham condi- tions. Dr. Dnwiddie will speak to the Civic Forum tonight at o'clock. The public is cordially invited to hear him, as he will speak on the new experiment in social science, the block system of social work in cities.
 This system is to have city block as unit, and to have worker in eacn block. An example of the efficiency ol this system is trial given it in Cincin- natl. where this system is in effect to q limited extent under the supervision ot Dr. Dinwiddie.
 The executive at the head of the citi- zens council, or central governing body of this system, in which place was pr. Dinwidde, learned that an epidemic of influenza threatened Cincinnati. At once he got in touch with the tlIirty-one block workers, acquainted each with the sit nation, and learned of eighty suspicious cases of sick persons who were at once visited by nurses.
 On the same afternoon a leaflet was gotten up containing the advice of the health officers and doctors on influenza for distribution The next day the blocN workers delivered the pamphlets, at the same time giving personal explanations, and urging that all cases in which there was a symptom of flu be reported to headquarters for medical attention
 In the districts where this system WAS in effect the epidemic was remarkably light.
 It is in explanation of such work that Dr. Dinwiddie will speak tonight.
