A Golden Opnortunitx


 The present offers a golden oppor- unity to strike for soldier settlement of the cutover lands of Alabama" said Maj W. M. Mathews, director of the agricultural and colonization bureau of the Southern Commercial Congress. The soldiers were trained in the south and they know what it is. None can fill them with bugaboos about south ern climate and other conditions. They know.
 The Shoshone project in Wyoming demonstrated the eagerness of the re- turned soldier to take up lands. AL though it was known that there were only seventy-seven available farm tracts in this project, there were S'oOV soldier applications and 3.2OO of them accompanied their applications with the required check for $500. over two thousand of them made the trip from different parts of the country to the drawing and were prepared to stand the $9o per acre for water rights and the expense of building homes and equippng the farms.
 Ut stands to reason that men that anxious to secure land would come to Alabama if proper invitation IS. pre- sented. am here to do all in my power as representative of the Southern Com mercial Congress to aid the T. r. A in putting it over"

A DREAM THAT CAME TRUE

could offer his immigrants nothing more tempting than tract of the forest primaeval and an unlimited opportunity for hard manual work the success of his venture is all the more astounding. There were no movies in those days and no immediate prospect of high wages. But the immigrants came. and because they liked life in the New World they stayed and sent back word to their friends at home to come out and join them in the new Sweden.
 Of all the model communities dreamed of by philosophers from Aristotle down to Colerdge none has been more sue cessful than this colony in the north of Maine conceived brought forth and reared by President Lincoln's consul in Sweden. It is interesting to note that in this community founded long before the phrase "red-blooded American was coined the very best type of American ism has been produced. Though founded entirely by foreigner from another con- tinent, New Sweden subscribed to more than her allotment of Liberty bonds and sent more than her quota of sons over seas to fight for the American ideals of liberty and civilization.

From the Sun and New York Herald. NINETY years ago today the colony ~ of New Sweden was founded in S the northern corner of AroostoolS county, Maine Beginning with a total population of fifty-one, New Sweden now contains a thousand inha bitants of swe- dish birth or descent, while the daugh- ter colonies adjacent number over a thousand more.
 The colony owes it's existence entirely to the efforts of one man, the Hon. w w. Thomas Sent over to Sweden by President Lincoln early in the civil war as one of our consuls MT. Thomas soon acquired a profound admiration for the Swedish character. When he returned home in 1865 it was with the fixed de- termination of founding a Swedish col ony in his native state. It is given to few men to witness the complete real iZation of their widest dreams, but MT. Thomas splendid vision has actually materialized. With infinite difficulty he finally succeeded in getting an immigra- ton bill incorporating his scheme passed by the state legislature, and in 1870 he returned to Sweden to induce the right class of people to emigrate.

LUKE N'LUkE SAYS

There would be more salt than any thing else in this world if all the rub bernecks got the punishment meted out to Lots wife.
 Until he gets one every man i'm agines that he has to have wife.
 Always tell your wife to do as she thinks best and then you can go out and brag that your wife always acts on your advice. If you like a girl she Is Vivacious But if you don't like her she is toe darn Gabby. The world is growing better. You do not have to wear dirty shirt to be Genius.
 The old-fashioned woman who used to wear clothes to impress the men now has daughter who goes without them to impress the men, Before he gets her he tnuas she is an angel. And after he gets her ne finds that she is up i'll the ar. most o1 the time.
 An act prohibiting fish from swim ming and birds from flying would have ms. about as much chlnce of enforce ment as has the one-half of per cent beer clause in the Volstead act. A girl takes more chances than a fellow. A fellow is liable to call on a girl when her hair is drying on g clothes line in the back yard. If the girls do not conserve alittle there won't be any paint left for the houses next year.

CAsABIANcA JUMPS IN TIME

From the New York Tribune.
 Colonel Bryan was noble sight al san Francisco as he stood upon the auarter-deck, and proclaimed his Will ingness to die at his post on the good ship Prohibition.
 But this Casabianca businss is not what it was cracked up to De by MS. Felicia fIemans, and let no ribald critic ieer at our rather rotund and Venerable but ever boyish friend for leaping while there was yet time to escape the fires of apostasy. It is bad thing to tuck ones pride in ones bosom and, holding fast to ones coatta.is, jump, kersplash, from a burning deck. It is a worse thing to stand alone and for the mere sake of consistency-thaf neyer earned a vote-wave farewell for all time to the democratic party. which, after all. at times, does elect Presidents.
 The annals of heroism are the poorer bv reason of Colonel Bryan's sturdy instinct of lf-preservation. But po- litical literature will unquestiona bly be enriched in the coming months when the Colonel pulls out the tremolo stop and szsiniE9 n the throbbing Chau-

Judge Gary Tells Why
 He Is Optimistic

1T UDGE E. H. Gary, chairman of O the United States Steel Cor poration, few days ago said he felt more optimistic in regard to the fu- ture of this country than at any time before during the past six years.
 After briefly recounting the reck- less manner in which, one after an- other, Americans, both in selling and in purchasing, had heaped up the pyramid of high prices, doing as lit tie work as possible and securing as large pecuniary results as could be obtained, he points to the more sober attitude of the nation, saying:
 "T'he average man, even sthough possessed of surplus capital, is buy ing less clothing, unnecessary food and luxuries of different kinds. The prudent housewife is employing fewer servants. This disposition to decrease expenditures and increase savings has been notable of late. l think during the next few months these tendencies throughout the country will become more and more noticeable"
 And it is all because the natural brawn and the instinctive common sense of the American people gre coming again to the fore. America lis literally heartsick and weary of the orgy of thoughtless living and !, is taking on sanity and moderation with zest all the keener because the pendulum swung so far the other wav

Have We Forgotten:

Will the third Armistice Day have the same atmosphere of spontaneous enthusiasm and joyous abandon of the other two, when people did not have full time to realize what it meant: asks Bob Kyle. "On November II, 1918, the mere news that the war had terminated in an armistice, was suf- ficient to set the people wild with re- lief that their sons, brothers and sweet hearts would not meet death on the battlefelds
 "The second day. November Il, 1919, was one of wild rejoicing also. because people had full time to realize what freedom from worry and suspense meant. The question is, will the third be one of action and celebration, or have we forgotten the lessons taught by the war;"

 The suggestion is timely and has practical value. It could easily be carried out by the various civic or ganizations. The plants at Ensley and Fairfield, numerous furnaces, coke ovens and coal mines, the new hospital of the Tennessee Company and it's welfare york, whico has at tracted national attention, are worth coming hundreds of miles to see, yet they constitute but a part of the Birmingham district.

Eiye Huntsville

Huntsville is classed as one of the
 best towns in Alabama" says Jeff
 Bailey, managing director of the. Re-
 tail Merchants Association of Alabama
 "and I believe that one of the distinct
 reasons for this is the alertness of the merchants of that city. They are not only up-to date in matters of stocks, stores and fixtures, but they are for Huntsville, all together.
 Tt might be of interest to many towns five times as large as this city to know that the merchants pay s2 per month dues to maintain retail credit bureau, and that they all are members of their Chamber of Com merce at city rates, s25 per annum.

F # Grass Worm or Fall Army Worm and Its Control

THE outlook for food crops is not
 S so gloomy as it seemed several weeks ago. In some sections of the middle west, the late reports are de- cidedly optimistic.
 But in the south the fall army worm is not only damaging to corn. but to grass as well. They come in generations only few weeks apart. F. L. Thomas, associate entomolo- gist of the Alabama agricultural ex- pertinent station, has issued a thor oughly informing bulletin, and if his advice is followed closely, there will be vast saving of corn and hay.

Birmingham Merchants
 Mastered a Situation

.NNE Birmingham department " store reports an increase in business of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in five months of 1920.
 It is agreed that retail business has had a remarkable season. The realization sales began early in May. Merchants, sensing the tightening of the money market, as well as the pronounced disinclination of the peo- pie to purchase at prevailing prices, determined to meet this situation by a stock turnover at reduced profits.
 They advertised extensively. The housewife scanned these advertise ments and saw that they ran true. The less keen man was also con vinced that the merchants were mak- ing an honest offering of lower prices. A buying wave set in. The turnover of goods has been such as to clean out surplus stocks, defray bills due the wholesaler and manu- facturer, take up paper. at the banks and leave a clean slate for the con- ing fall and winter.
 Not only that, but the merchant is not buying ahead with the prodi- galty of the two preceding years. He is taking on stocks with caution and he is rather dictating the terms of contracts than having them die tated to him by the manufacturer and the wholesaler.
 This does not mean lower prices this autumn, but it does indicate req son all along the line. Replacement values are higher than retail sales prices for the same goods. Recess sions will come gradually at a pace governed by the returning mental serenity of the nation.

larger numbers than expected, and was apparently very widespread. A third generation is about to appear in Alabama, and the pest is expected to do it's greatest damage in the three weeks following.
 The full grown worms are from I114 to 11a inches long and marked with dark green or blackish stripe along each side. On the front of the head there is distinct inverted white "Y"
 Control measures require constant work, but are very effective when carried out according to directions.
 'On grasses or grass-like grains other than corn, spray with arsenate of lead, using one pound of the pow dered form in fifty gallons of water.
 On young corn apply calcium arse nate, blowing the dust into the bud by means of hand gun used in spraying cotton, when controlling the boil weevil.
 Mir. Thomas found from tests made 1 by the Alabama experiment station in July of this year that the methods recommended were very effective on young corn.
 A caution notice in the bulletin is this: s"Don't pasture stock within three weeks on grass that has been poisoned, nor now it within this time"
 1 Many farmers in Alabama are planting late corn with the hope that by intensive cultivation it will !na- ture before frost.
