WHEN YOU ARE OLD.

What will you be doing in your ole
age? Will you be sitting on the front
porch, stroking your white hair? o.
will you be active, powerful and q
leader? This latter you may doubt
for most of US have the false notion
that old age means inactivity.
If you have an idea Of retiring
when you are go, consider these great
exploits by old men:
Titan executed his most famous
painting when he was 90.
Won Moltke was in full Uniform
when he was 88.
Cornelius Vanderbilt did not become
u great railroad king until he was 70
At SO he was the most active railroad
man of his day.
Socrates began studying music wher
he was 80.
Pasteur discovered his hydrophobia
cure after he was IS.
Columbus, between so and 60, made
his first voyage of discovery.
Voltaire Newton, Spencer, Talley.
rand and Thomas Jefferson-all were
active and in their intellectual prime
long after they were 80.
When Calico discovered the month
Ily and daily vibrations of the moon
was Is.
The Earl Of Haldsbury, 80 years ole
| is today the leader of the conserva
tive party in the British house o.
lords, and is supervising the writing
of twenty-volume encyclopedia o
British law.
There are tens Of thousands of in
stances of men who did their BEES
work in old age. The world is full O
such men today.

Youth is usually too impulsive. Oh
age, remembering scalded fingers, i
conservative. The two, working to

Ideal combination.
Nature can make your joints stiffel
and your arteries hard, your hal
white and your face lined with wrink

can defy old age.
Train your brain. Learn to thinl
straight, if You would make old ag
the most enjoyable and the most use

THE FARM BUREAU
AND THE PEOPLE.

This Farm Bureau matter has received entirely much
ahot air. deserves mention and much credit what good
has done for the people But would regret to it swept
off the face of the earth by cyclone of hot afrom
source.
The Board of Supervisors against proposition
much the Farm Bureau composed Of farmers the county,
he most representative type The Board at it's
ing passed the matter hearing for the present which
not likely to be the last of the matter
These farmers feel that they justly entitled some
sideration from the Board
On the other hand told that the bureau de-
stroys the middle their jobs that the effect would
bring the drummer back the direct competition with
the farmer
The drummer must live He sells goods to merchants
livelihood The farmer feeds the merchant and drummer Put
the merchants and drummers back to the farm they will
their living and will anything that the other farm
producing This would naturally price
farm produce, would be making his living.
Nh Farmer what would you say should you up
morning and find that merchant every
IN the country had returned to the farm and that you could
sell any OF your OATS hogs BEANS could
not buy because money enough 1t
would be pretty hard job for money enough pay
taxes.
So about the best way stop the middle is for all
hands TO set convenient day and have big barbecue drop
lighting the Farm Bureau other and resolve
to move harmony other as we have since
beginning of time.
According to of thinking Farm Bureau has been
OF great service to the the county, only the oc
holders as are referred T Payer the county
The Bureau may have handled shirts and there
by kept the merchant making profit on the
sales OF the shirts but the buyer took the money he
saved ON his shirt and something some other me
chant had to SELL
1t is great big proposition.
But the merchants of Oxford get busy and prepare
advertising fill the Oxford Eagle up every week with catchy
advertisements stop knocking the outside world

ga the back OF mousethe improvement around
this old town would soon be noticeable

WINGED MONEY.

WINGED MONEY.
|, Money has wings, says the Bible,
and few Of those who are needless Of
the Scriptures will scott at the state
|ment. Indeed, they will probably
make the future admission that
money is using its wings. 1t is no
longer the contentedly clucking barn
yard fowl Of q year ago but, an eagle
pinioned bird suspicious Of those who
would put salt on it's tail.
What has become Of the money
which was so plentiful year or 50
ago, which passed SO quickly and
which bought so little?
1t has gone nowhere. It exists
somewhere. but it is not here, and go
where you will it is not there, at least
not SO plentifully as formerly. The
bankers haven't got it as they once had
nor has the government, and private
hoardings are not believed to account
for the deficit. There have always
been hoarders.
Bankers explain that the quantity OF
money is really as great as ever, but
that curtailment of credit and the
slackening of industrial and other
operations has checked its circulation
In the days of plenty, money passed
from hand to hand quickly, each hand
Ter having a quantity Of it for a brief
time. He got more, and he spent more
than now, and that is all.
The experts deny that money is on
the wing and claim that the real
trouble is that it is not using its wings
because Of the unavoidable conditions
of REIMBURSEMENT.
The truth of the matter is that a
year ago great many people were
spending money recklessly and even
foolishly, and this put lots of money
in circulation. Today these same peo-
pie are econo1nizing, some from choice
and this has reduced the volume OF
money in circulation. That is all there
is to it.
1t will be good thing for the coun-
try, and for every individual in it, il
the foolish flush times never return
It wasn't sound business, and without
sound business the country cannot
really prosper.

 ENGINEER REPORTS
Fifty Surveys in Various Coun- ties Have Been Made Un-
 der Present Law

Montgomery, April 3O.-(Special. )-In a report to the state board of health filed
 today by D. E. Johnson, sanitary en-
 gineer, it is shown that 50 sanitary sur
 veys have been made since the new
 health law became effective, that organ
 izations have been perfected for sanitary
 work in 27 instances and that a total
 population of 74,45O has been protected
 from distase by the work.
 Calhoun county has lead in the total
 number of surveys, in the number of plac organized and in the total popula- tior. protected. In Calhoun s urban and rural surveys have been made: in Tal- ladega, urban: in Montgomery. 5 UT. ban in Morgan, [ urban and 1 ru. ral; in Tuscaloosa, 2 urban in Sumter urban and in other counties, urban.
 In Calhoun, 6 urban and 4 rural com
 munities have perfected organizations for sanitary work; in Talladega, 5 urban; in
 Montgomery, none; in Morgan, urban in Tuscaloosa, 1 urban; in Sumter, 2 urban and in the other counties, urban. The total populations of the various

 Engineer Johnson commented generally on the attitude of the farmers of the
 counties in support of drainage and other sanitary work. Especial mention was made of Calhoun county, where the formers have, showed a disposition to drain their bottom lands. sometimes with tho assistance of the county health o1- ticer and sometimes upon their own in- itiative. MT. Johnson said Talladega farmers also have improved their drain ago systems.
 Much work is planned for the counties
 which will assist the state, and MT. Johnson mentioned that the probate judge of Tuscaloosa county, Judge w.. w. Brandon, has announced that the county will bear one-half of the, expense of mosquito control work in any com
 mrnity of the county He said this prob ably will mean the establishment of an
 inspector, who will supervise mosquito control work during the mosquito sea- son.
 In addition to the counties included in the report, Engineer Johnson said work Is being done at Demopolis, Green Pond,
 Marion Junction, Riderwood, Evergreen and Auburn.

FEWER TENTATIVE ' AGREEMENTS URGED
More Durable Facts Between U. s. and Britain Needed,
 Harvey Declares

New York, April 3O.-Less of tentative compromise and more durable agree ments between this country and England is what's most needed by both countries George Harvey, newly confirmed ambas- sador to Great Britain, told the Lotus club here tonight. MT. Harvey said he has already received many criticisms and hints on diplomatic usage, but his final instructions from President Harding were to remind him that all partisan- ship should be abandoned lat the waters edge
 Tn my case" he declared, "I am wholly unable to perceive why a citizen of the United States cannot represent his country without appearing either sychophant or a swashbuckler, nor how, as a guest, he can fail to evince appre- citation of the exceptional hospitality in variably extended by a hostess such as we all know England to be-
 Since he has voted four times for dem-s ocratic candidates and as many times for republicans, MT. Harvey said, com pliance with the injunction to drop par tisanship would not be difficult. He de- clared he was a Cleveland democrat and still would be if that statesman were living but under the circumstances he is "a Harding republican, a distinction in party label alone and not American policy.'
 "So far as the appointment of ambas- sador to the court of St. James is con cerned, it is a great honor, of course" he continued, but like all other public offices, it is only what the holder makes of is-an opportunity, not a realization"
 Highest confidence in the ability of Colonel Harvey to fill his new post was expressed in a letter from President Harding, which was read at the dinner.
 "If I could" the President wrote, 'I would greatly rejoice to be there and join in paying tribute to this distin- guished American. It has been my pleas ure to express my confidence in him by naming him for the principal post in the diplomatic service of our republic, which is in itself an assurance of my highest regard for him and my very great con-S fdence in him.

Bessemer, April 30.--(Special With the complete shutdown of the Bessemer fur Eaces No 1 and No. of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company. on Sat urday. the last of the five furnaces of this company located in Bessemer will go out of operation.
 These two furnaces up to this time have been running on full time, one en- gagged in making feTo-manganese and the other in the manufacture of pig iron, and the fact that they have been run ming regularly and without any cut or decrease in the wages of the men, has had a tendency to sustain the feeling of optimism regarding the gradual return to normal conditions in the Bessemer dis trict
 A large force of men will be thrown cut of employment by the blowing out of these furnaces, a number of the oldest of whom, in point of service, may per- haps be able to obtain employment at other plants of the company in the dis trict.
 The furnace at Oxmoor. which is oper- ated as part of the Bessemer division of furnaces has been shut down for some time; Bessemer furnaces No. and No. several months the Alice furnace in Bir- ningham is also out of operation, which leaves only the Ensley furnaces of the T.
