Correction of criminal instincts by
means of surgery again comes into
prominence through the proposal of a
professor in the Yale Medical school to
operate on the skull of forger in the
expectation that the tendencies of the
young man will be turned in better
direction, The young man in question
suffered a fall from a tree when a
youth and, so his relatives say, his
tendencies since then have been way
ward. It is generally accepted fact
that impairment of the intellect and
other vsgaries may be caused by pres
sure of the skull on the brain; and in
most of these instances of abnormal
conditions in the head the cause is
some blow on the skull, either in
fall or otherwise. Therefore, the rel
stives of the young forger in question
may have their hopes we'll grounded.
However, surgery as a corrective of
criminal tendencies has not advanced

Mount canon in the Canadian north

and resourceful woman That she was
not able TO get near her husband was
not to be wondered at in the light of
later developments when experienced
mountain climbers working under the
best possible conditions and with prop
err equipment were unable to locate the
remains of Mr.. Stone in their early eff
forts. Mrs. Stone further showed re-
markable fortitude when, marooned on
a shelving rock onto which she had
fallen in her quest for her husband, she

the name, when arrested, of Il. w. Glib

This lit-tel lady will give an ex-ibish-shan in the tent, for gen. til-men only. You have heard of dance that is sensational. I tell you this dance is educa- tional. She does not dance with her head, neyther does she dance with her feet, but from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, every bone, every fibar, every mussil and tis- sue, shakes and vibrates, quakes and trembils, quivars and shivars, like the leaves of mighty oak in the summer breeze.

l recently made one of my periodical visits to Anniston to look the town over and to fel- lowship with my friends and renew acquaint- anceships as I have few true and tried among the former and quite a number among the latter.
 began my pilgrimages to Anniston in the eighties after the exodus from Eufaula, which was led by Col. John M. McElroy, who has left such profound imprint on the ''Model City, for in the latter years of his life it was his hobby as we'll as his pride.
 And the Eufaula men who followed in his wake have made good. Will Davis for more than score of years functioning as the general manager of the Anniston Land company. Will McElroy, for years before his death, was pres ident of the Anniston National bank. Henry Young, for a quarter of century an officer in the First National bank ,Dswhile Max Welt born went from it's presidency to be governor of the federal reserve bank, and his younger brother, Arthur, is vice president of the Com mercial National bank.
 From the fact that my Eufaula friends were bent on getting strong hold on the financial institutions of Anniston, and from the further fact that they were all socially inclined, made it very pleasant for me to keep in touch with them during my earlier years in Birmingham when was given to society, and l frequently ran over for receptions and dances, and in this way through the years have kept in inti- mate touch with many of the older Annis- tonans.
 There is nothing which sobers fellow quicker and makes him more keenly alive that age IS slowly but surely creeping up on him than to revisit the scenes of his youth and young man. hood. The thing which brought this forcibly to me was to find in Anniston that many of the reverend seignors' are pillars in the business, civic and religious life of their city. But the saddest awakening of all was to learn that one of my "old buddies" is grandfather.
 Speaking of families and children, and even grandchildren, the biggest change to me while in Anniston was in trying to get used to the fact that old bachelor, Harry Ayers, is real benedict It's hard evenf for Annistonians to grasp it in spite of the fact that he goes about wearing smile that never fades. He reminds me of a bachelor brother of mine. He waited long before he wed, and about six months after the event, one day said to him, "John, how do you like being married?" I'll never forget his answer, for he replied, Frank, I wish had been born married" From all appearances, thing Harry feels the same way about it. l am setting these two cases down in the hope that other bachelors who may be hesitating about taking the step which will make them sub- ject to feminine domination may see that it isn't such bad thing after all, and that it is far bet ter to be ruled by loving wife than it is to be free of the hardened old single ones, will say that I am after another wedding fee, but take it from me, this is straight tiy withtut any thought of personal gain.

MARKETING ASSOCIATIONS THE PRODUCERS EMANCIPATION

Preliminary steps for the organization of farm marketing associations in Alabama on the plan that has enabled California fruit growers to sell their products direct and obtain living prices were taken at meeting of representa- tives of the American Cotton association, Farm Bureau and Farmers union in this city Satur- day. The sooner the marketing associations are organized the better and it follows that the gentlemen entrusted with this serious under taking should exert their utmost effort to bring about that end.
 There is no question as to the benefit of the cooperative marketing plan. It has been tried in California, in Arizona and in Texas, and has brought about emancipation of the producer wherever put into effect. Alabama has just passed a law authorizing the organization of marketing associations on the California plan. They should be formed at once if Alabama is toA maintain the pace set by sister southern states.
 Acreage control and diversification have opened the door to agricultural independence and prosperity half way. The marketing asso- citations will throw it wide open.
 It is big thing and Alabamians must face it in big way.
 The Texas motto is good one: Decide what to do next and then do it."

 Thou canst not prove the Nameless, o my son; Nor canst thou prove the world thou movest in; Thou canst not prove that thou art body alone, Nor canst thou prove that thou art spirit alone, Nor canst thou prove that thou art both in one; Thou canst prove that thou art immortal, no, Nor yet that thou are mortal-nay, my son, Thou canst not prove that I, who speak with thee Am not myself in converse with myself. For nothing worthy proving can be proven, Nor yet disproven; wherefore, be thou wise; Cleave ever to the .sunnier side of doubt, And cling to faith beyond the forms of faith; She reels not at the storm of warning words; She brightens at the clash of .Yes" and 'sNo'; She sees the best that glimmers through the

 She feels that the sun is hid but for the night; She spies the summer through the winters bud; She tastes the fruit before the blossom falls; She hears the lark within the songless eggs; She finds the fountain where they walled

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF


 What did the Prussian chancellor say to the French generals and ministers who went to propose the armistice and peace to him after Sedan and after the siege of Paris, at Fer rieres? The representative of the victorious armies answered General Wimpffen, who was sent by the emperor, and also Jules Favre, delegates of the government for national de- fense: "In two centuries France has declared war on Germany 30 times Louis XIV, you have never ceased to become great at our ex- pense. We punish you for yaur aggressive character You will not abandon your policy. You will only renew your strength to make war on us again. But we mean to insure the secu- rity of our children. This security can only be guaranteed by giving up of territory. There must be buffer between us; this will be Alsace-Lorraine." These were Bismarck's words, and he treated France as he sad with out pity and without consideration. And now history is beginning all over again. The news papers and the politicians of our country use the same words as Bismarck. Every day anger and hatred increases in Germany against France; every day some incident happens to revive and excite them; every day our press speaks language of vain violence which has no other effect than to increase over lhore the idea of revenge And when the allies of yes terday don't agree they are treated in the same way as the Germans and public opinion rises up against militarist and chauvinist France. We have been fold often enough in the last 50 years that in 1870 Prussia, and especially Bismarck, treated defeated France with memorable harsLness, and it was quite right to brand and universally despise the bru. tai behavior of the Iron Chancellor.
