SOUND TIL
ALARM.

How many lovers OF oranges, apples,
peaches, and other fruits realize that
their supply OF these %dellcacies Is de-
pendent on the practice OF forestry as
we'll as OF horticulture? Nevertheless
this Is actually the case, and the ex-
| PLANTATION Is simple, as the American
Forestry Association of Washington
which Is campaigning for a national
| forest policy points out. Fruits are
almost universally shipped In wooden
containers. Wood comes only from
trees. And we are rapidly approaching
the point where trees will no longer be
available in sufficient numbers to meet
even our present needs unless we prac'

THE NEW FOOD
CROP.

The United States supreme court
having decided that any citizen can
possess wild fowl and breed them and
sell them for food, under proper regu-
lation, the game breeding industry Is
sure to enormously increase.
1t is very little more work to raise
a pheasant or a grouse thar a common
chicken, a wild duck than a tame duck.
But the wild bird will bring the game
farmer eight to ten times as mich
money.
There are some very interesting pos
sibilitles.
About sixty of he two hundred
species of wild fowl are found In Amer
lea. There are two families or classes
of ducks; the sea ducks or divers and
/ the shoal-water ducks or dabbiers. The
lat named are the most suitable for
game farms and preserves in most Of
the states. Wild geese can be reared
In field which contain small ponds ant
good stretches OF grass. They are fec
also with corr and other grain. The
field should be enclosed with a fence
of netting five or six feet high and on
wing of geese should be clipped.
One pair of quail and Its progen,
would produce over six million quai
In eight years provided each nest con
tanned only twelve eggs and Their
were no losses. Frequently the nest
contain more than a dozen eggs, some
times over twenty eggs are found In
nest. II Is evident from this that yer
, min and varmints have to be killed OF
by the game breeder.
In swampy areas a single crop
wild ducks is frequently worth MOI
than the value Of the land. Many pond
and small swampy tracts from Ne
1 England to the Pacific cosat can b
made to produce wild ducks abundan
s ly and profitably. !,
Wood-ducks, the handsomest Wi
= ducks In the world, are easily salst
n in wire enclosures containing son
n water. These bairds in a wild sta
II nest In holes in trees. Therefore, u
yards should be equipped with box
placed on poles or tackled to trees.

HELPING YOUR
TOWN.

People who travel a good deal say
that there are a good many men who
seem TO make IL their business TO boom
their home towns with all the people
they talk with on the way. They get
into conversations in pullman smoking
rooms and hotel Hobbies, and they soon
begin to tell these chance acquaint-
ances about the beauties of their home
town. They ask what peoples busi-
ness Is, and then suggest what good
chances for those lines OF business
could be found in their communities.
One may laugh at the persistence
these fellows show, but one can't help
admiring It. They may waste a good
deal of breath. They may talk to a
hundred men before they find one
who would have the least idea OF
changing his residence OF moving to
the place they suggest.
At tho same time, when people are
| filled with that spirit, 1t is easy to see
why some towns go ahead. A town
that has even a dozen men travelling
around who use spare moments In
publishing abroad the advantages OF
that community, Is going to make an
impression. Men who have that de-
termination to push their towns ahead
are going to succeed In doing so.
A town grows by It's reputation. A
small town with a lot OF active ant
ardent boosters stands a better chance
of growth than a large one which II
simply satisfied and whose people new
er make any effort to build 1t up.
Do you want your home town Il
grow2 Then talk 1t up. Speak abou
II when you see your friends and rela
tIves from other sections and states
Don't be afraid to brag about 1t a lit
tie. 1t is worth 1t. II you make Ii
continuous policy to do this, | vii
bring new people here, and 1t WI
I create an impression that 1t Is a liv
, town o Enthusiastic busters.

RELIEF THAT CARRIED MORE

TIE significant feature OF the SEED
loan arrangement ~lnaugurated by the
Federal Government, is hat II WORKED

Within ten days after the legislation
was passed II had the necessary ma

more the applications were accepted
and within another ten days checks
were on their way TO those who needed
them most. This is a notable con

The following, from the Atlanta Constitution, will be of interest to a large number of Alabama women, who are to assist in making the Bankhead highway beautiful thing for the state:
 "sThe Georgia commission of the woman's department of the Bank head Highway association, was or ganized yesterday at a meeting called by Mrs. Albert Thornton, ST.. at her home; Mrs. Thornton having been appointed by the association as chairman for Georgia. She is also chairman of the entire wom- ans commission.
 "There was present representa- tive gathering of women leaders in Georgia including Mrs. J. E.

 The interest of the children is especially to be solicited through the Parent-Teacher associations, both in order to teach the children history and civic pride through this great artery of the countrys life and to encourage them in the planting of trees, and study of birds and wild life along the high way.

CHARMING AMERICAN IN PARIS
 DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINED

The returning Legionnaires who enjoyed the hospitality of the French people so heartily during their re- cent visit to France, bring back news of many Americans now in Paris, and Capt. Matthew H. Murphy who rep resented Alabama at the conference brings news of very charming American. Mrs. Francis B. Drake, whose husband, Colonel Drake, was honored with the great distinction of being made commander of the Amer lean Legion at the conference.
 Mrs. Drake is a relative of MT. Edward W. Barrett and entertains beautifully in New York in honor of Mir. and Mrs. Barrett upon the oc- casion of their visits there.
 Colonel and Mrs. Drake have been the center of the social world of Paris for the past few months, being entertained a great deal and in turn entertaining in a charming way.
 The New York Herald's Paris edi- ton" of recent date says in referring to Colonel and Mrs. Drake
 "Mr. Clair Irish gave dinner last night at his apartment in the Rue dc Lille in honor of Col. and Mrs Francis Drake on the occasion of Colonel Drake having been promoted to commander of the Legion of Honor The cravat of the Legion of Honor was received by Colonel Drake yesterday from the hands of Marshal Pooh, who told him that his work in the American army throughout the war more than merited the honor The marshal also remarked that his wife should share the honor. Colonel Drake first received the decoration of Knight of the Legion of Honor about Is years ago and was promoted to officer several years before the war. His friends were heartily con sratulating him last night at the din- nor party, as the presentation from the hands of the marshal of France had come to him as a great surprise. Colonel and Mrs. Drake are leaving today for Brussels to attend the ceremonies to be given by the King and Queen of the Belgians for the delegates of the American Legion.
 In speaking of the cordial courtesy being returned by Colonel and Mrs. Drake the Herald says:
 Marshal Foch and the officers of the American Legion were guests Of honor last night at brilliant fare well dinner given by Col. and Mrs. Francis E. Drake in the ballroom of the Hotel Ritz. After the round of official affairs to which the mar shaI of France and the visiting Legionnnaires have devoted their time and attention for the last 10 days, the purely informal dinner of last might was apparently an agree able relief Formalities and speech making were dispensed with, and the hest and hostess gave the American officers a chance to become acquaint-
