KELLOGG LEADING
 FIGHT ON TREATY
Says Ratification of CoIom- bian Pact Would Not Keep
 Faith With Roosevelt
By Associated Press

Washington. April Rehabilitation of the 35,0oO,000 Colombian treaty would not be keeping faith with Theodore Roosevelt. Senator Kellogg, republican. Minnescta, declared today in opening debate for those opposing the pact in the Senate.
 Acceptance of it even as amended. Sen ator Kellogg asserted, would be ''pusiI- luminous act" and "a shadow on the brightest page of the history of Amer ican accomplishments"
 The Minnesota senator reviewed in detail the part played by the United States under President Roosevelt in the events that attended the revolt of Pan anna from Colombia, and quoted a mes sage he received in 1917 from Mr. Roose- welt, saying that ratification of this infamous treaty. would set dangerous precedent.
 Tt makes precedent" MT. Roosevelt was quoted as saying, for some sue csssor of Wilson to pay at least as large a sum apiece to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Hayt and Santo Domingo for what has been done to them recently, and also to Chile for our insolent mad improper treatment of her in connection with the Alsop claim"
 senator heHoSS atSO pidceu III the rec ord a letter written by Colonel Roose- welt in 1917, in which the former Presi- dent declared the "crux of the matter is as to whether we ought or ought not to have recognized Panama"
 If we did badly" Mr. Roosevelt wrote, In reference to Panama's recognition, we are in honor bound now to restore both Panama and the canal zoIe to the bandits from whom they were then sew cred. Mere payment of blackmail is not enough. Of course, no smallest particle of evidence to show that we engendered the revolution can be produced, because our every action has been set forth scores of times in minute detail. No revolution was ever more jus tified than that sof Panama against Co., lombia, and had I not acted precisely as did there would now be no canal"
 Senator Kellogg called attention to the objections raised to the treaty by Sen- ate republicans when it was up for cons sideration in 1917. and denied that the portions then found objectionable had been eliminated.

RECENT FROSTS
 DID BIG DAMAGE
Fruits and Vegetables Were Hard Hit, Particularly in
 North Alabama

Auburn, April Especial )-While no official reports have as yet been received, it is evident that the recent frosts did considerable damage to ten der fruits and vegetables in at least the northern portion of Alabama, and real izing that certain things can be done to reduce this damage Prof. c. c. with few very timely and valuable suggestions.
 Commenting especially on Irish po- tato plants, Professor Starcher states that they should be immediately clipped with sharp hoe just under the surface of the ground where the freeze dam age stopped and nitrate Of soda applied at the rate of from 70 to 100 pounds per acre. Nitrate of soda is especially rec commended because frozen plants are in a sick condition, and being readily available. this fertilizer can be ifnme- diately used by the plants and in that way hasten them back to normal con dition. As Is generally known, a num- Der of plants such as beans. peas, etc., are permanently killed, but for a gem eral guide it should be said that those that are only temporarily set back should have extra care and fertilizer tor tide them over their weakened con- dition and return them to their normal rate of growth.
 Surveying the field as a whole, Pro- lessor Starcher refers to the fact that these freezes have been general and that most of the fruits in many of the states have been killed. As a result of fhfS Shortape if ia exDectpd that the price will be high next year and all are advised to dry, can or otherwise pre- serve and save all the fruits and vege- tables possible this spring and summer.

IRWIN s. COBB

 WINERY Johnson has his Boswell,
 N. and wish were Irwin s. cobb's,
 1 but unfortunately l a monly an intermittent" Boswell for this most popular of American humorists, touch ing the high lights only here and there every year or two, when Mir. Cobb honors Birmingham with a visit.
 I've had three interviews" with IT, win S. Cobb, and recall them as among the bright spots in my newspaper ca reer, for no more charming or agree able gentleman has ever lived than this delectable Kentucky product, who isn't always funny" although I'd never try to make you believe that that was not his greatest asset. for as Trizie Fri ganza once told me;
 'If you were to write a story about me and say that I'd lost pound I'd lose all the drawing power 1 have in the world; in fact. I'm delighted to tell you that I've gained a round dozen pounds since 1 saw you, and I'm so fat now that the only ready made garment l can wear is a handkerchief"
 So with Irwin $. Cobb; take away his humor, his wit, and you have deprived him of God-given attribute, the like of which few have ever been blessed with.
 So that being the case, let's run over the triology of stories I've written with MT. Cobb and pick out some of his amusing aphorisms as a greeting to him when he arrives today.
 l recall so vividly in my first story with Mir Cobb during the Confederate VI afr<sa | 4N..t with the usual "interviewer's" bromidic attitude, I inquired why he had left the little town of Paducah. Kys where he was born, and with his usual delightful spontaneity he wittily answered.
 Popular vote had something to do with it, and also after 1 had become editor of the town sheet-the Paducah Daily News--I thought that it was about time that I put Park Row wise 70 the whopping talented young sal mon that had flopped over into the tank of immortalities. We'll" ne went on hazily q flopped--and made the darndest splash you ever saw-but wait a second" he added, thrusting out a level hand. Don't let any young sub get started on the splash idea too soon. Cheek got me there, but cheek doesn't always pay. Perhaps you can back it up, and perhaps you can't-I don't think any one is born genius. Some are born susceptible that's all. Writing is a thing you can learn; some slowly. some quickly, some not at all. And an- other thing, don't be afraid 10 get off the payroll after you are once on. I was afraid until just a short time ago.
 Now, then, Irvin--''
 Isn't that the darndest name a non- belligerent neutral souled southern boy ever possessed?" he interpolated. You know l come from an old southern fam .ly; all families are old and southern, just like all samplers are God blessed Also the family was dead broke: all old southern families are; mine blamed it

on the war. That's what all old and
 souern families who are dead broke do blame it on, and down there at that time they ony read two books. Waver- ley and the Bible. That's why 1 have a name like a passionate lover pos- sessed of a lily hand-my grandmother had been reading through the Scott period. Men had silly names then, so got mine. There were perfectly re- spectable names in the family. any one of which would have died to possess. Now, my fathers Josh Cobb, can you

TALLAPOOSA FARMERS
 COOPERATE IN BUYING
 400 TONS FERTILIZER

Camp Hill April 13.-(special)- With County Agent W. T. Cheney as their leader the Talapoosa county farmers have already bought co-opera- lively this year 400 tons of commercial fertilizer and probably will buy few more tons before the season is over.
 After an unfortunate experience In handling fertilizer last year most of the Tallapoosa county merchants were not enthusiastic about handling it this year. with the result that it was neces- sary for the farmers to do their own buying and MT. Cheney took the lead Conservative estimates indicate that as a result of this cooperative action the farmers saved at least $2,Ooo on their 100 tons of fertilizer
 MT. Cheney reports that most of this fertilizer was acid phosphate and that l50 tons were delivered at Dadeville and 250 tons at Camp Hill,
