LIKES ILLUSTRATIONS

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 The past week or ten days has seen a wonderful improvement in the ap- pearance of your valuable paper. I refer to the liberal use of good up-to- date local illustrations which convey to the mind that which could not be described in mere words.
 It is my opinion that the space given to illustrations is more value to the reader than the same space given to type as the picture makes a far greater impression on the mind.
 Imagine the Ladies Homes Journal and the Saturday Evening Post with out pictures"
 With best wishes for your con- tinued success and the continuance of good illustrations.
 Yours truly, W. M. GAUSTER.

HUNTING TOGETHER

From the Pittsburg Gazette Times.
 A picturesque aboriginal ceremony enacted on the shore of Penetang bay. Ontario. few days ago exem- plified the peace which is the hearts desire of mankind Chiefs of the remnants of the once powerful Huron and Iroquois tribes met in spirit of friendship for the first time in 271 years, smoked the pipe of peace, buried the hatchet and set off to- gether on hunt symb olical of their purpose henceforth to pursue the business of life in concord.
 The feud that had lasted three cen turies, all but three decades. began when the Iroquois braves vanquished the Huron warriors and drove that Indian tribe from their ancestral domain in what is now Ontario. Hurons and Iroquois have been bitter foes ever since; at least so tradition has it. Like so many other heredi- tary enmities the world around, it had been for long a futile thing and 
 silly. But there it was. there it might have remained, as other cank- CTS planted in human hearts ages ago and nourished by one generation after another to no respectable pur- pose, some day to goad it's possessors to take to the warpath. Somebody thought the tercentenary celebration of the coming of Champlain to On- tario an appropriate occasion for bringing the hereditary foes together. In keeping with twentieth century concepts and ideals, the chiefs of the Iroquois and Hurons were reasonable. So the meeting was arranged. The red chieftains came in full regalia. The central feature of the primitive setting was a birch bark tepee in the shadow of which the peace was made.
 Now we go kill moose together" suggested the Huron to the IroQuois. Which may be construed to mean workDg in harmony for the welfare of their followers. Precisely this is what the peoples of the earth wish to do-work in concord to the common benefit. It can be done if the chief 'tsins ef nations whose skin is not red. kn7 who too often see red. will |hut sQiicy the example set by simple lns'aas st Penetang bay.

THE DANUBE HIGHWAY

the ministry of war. is a sad sight.
 But Budapest, still militant, still naughty in the consciousness of it's
 beauty, seems to have been less
 troubled by the passage of war. Food is the main reason. Hum
 gary, reduced as it is, still contains some of the best land in Europe. --..- enna. it's industry stopped. can do little to earn the food it needs. Dur. ing the summer of 1920 all traffic be
 tween the two capitals was stopped
 by mutual boycotts, and although
 steamers piled the Dauube from Linz
 10 Budapest, no through passengers
 or freight were received
 "To the casual observer. Budapest
 is the same proud city as of old. The fine Parliament building and the i'm
 posing palace on the heights across
 the river, where Admiral Horthy now
 rules, seem as attractive as before
 the war. The upper river IS stil;
 crowded with bathers and with
 canoes and rowboats in which charm ing women and stalwart men do their
 best to attain spacious coat oftan.
 Along Franz Josef Quaf, the prom
 enade adds a lively touch of color to the drab scenes to which the beautl-
 fu1 blue Danube has become accus- toned.
 From Zemun, once the last Hun
 garian port on the Danube, short trip between low banks brings one to Belgrade, the capital of the new Kingdom of the Serbs, .Croats and Siovenes, where the steamer rounds the base of the ancient fortress which dates back to the time of the Cefts, the Romans and the Franks
 and comes to its dock little way up
 the Save. which here enters the Dan-
 ube from the south
 About four hours sail below Bel
 grade the wide plains give way to
 hilly country where the Transylvani&n
 Alps curve down toward the tumble
 of mountains which extends to Mon tenegro and Greece. It is6in this region that the main obstructions of
 the riverN occur But the most fla
 nous Instructions and the finest seen cry come at the Kazan Dufile and the Iron Gates where the river has col i 1ected a gruesome toll.
 'sAt Rustchuk. the railway traveller
 from Rumania ferries across broad and sluggish stream to continue his 1 journey to Sofia and Constantinople;
 and here the banks of the Danube
 which are still idle. Below Sflistria the river curves to the north and passes through Rumanian territory
 throughout the rest of it's length. At
 cerna voda it is crossed by one of the longest railway bridges in the
 world, the last of the many bridges
 which cross the stream. some of
 which are now destroyed aa a result | of the war and post -armisttce fight ing.
 "Braila, 125 miles from the three main mouths of the Danube, is . port for the grain and produce of . rich agricultural region In pre-war days it's wharves teemed with life, and it's huge grain elevators bulged with the rich products of Wallachia land Dobrudja. which has seen great development since the Russians gave 1t to Rumania instead of the more valuable and fertile tracts of Bes-
 sarabia. From Galatz to the sea the :! Danube has already been under the control of an international commis- &<x the river and the many nationaltties to whom the river Is highway or barrier according to the tides of hu-
 man passion and national life"

Sand Pear Proves
 a Profitable Product

e1T7HE sand pear of south Alabama
 J has proved remunerative and caused the establishment of a new industry.
 As might have been expected, the profits resulted from cooperative shipment. Having ascertained that the sand pear was favored in the eastern part of the country for pies and sauces, the farmers around Git ronelle extended the desultory grow ing of this fruit. 2 Orchards were planted and intelligently cultivated.
 The county agent reports that lowing to better marketing condi- tions, the growers of Citronelle have realized from $1.25 to $2.02 net per bushel in cooperative carload shipments to eastern markets" A total of s cars from one community brought from $10o to $125 per car.
 Formerly the sand pear was deemed fit only for stock food and an occasional homemade pie. Now, it is an article of commerce easily produced and marketed.

THE FIRST BANJO

Harlowe R. Hoyt, in the Cleveland
 Plain Dealer.
 With the recent revival of banjo playing, following the influx of jazz music, attention is called once more to the fact that the old-fashioned, five-string<$ banjo is a larity. The majority of instruments arc far sim pier to play since they are strummed with pick and fingered mandolin fashion. The old banjo Is rarely found, and has but one or two capa- ble opponents today.
 But the banjo is the invention of an American. This is not generally known, and it was but few years ago that the fact was established that the first instrument. with its catgut strings and calfskin head, was evolved by Joel Walker Sweeney of Virginia.
 The Sweeney family numbered three brothers. Joel, Richard and Samuel. The trio travelled together about the southern states, offering concerts which introduced variety of instrum ents. It was at that time that Joel evolved the first banjo.
 Sam, the youngest brother, did much to make the instrument popular. He was an attache on the staff of Gen. "Jeb" Stuart during the Civil war, and. because of his musical talents, became a great favorite. He accom- panied Stuart upon all of his princi- pal expeditions and was present ct the time of his death. Afterward he was attached to Gen. Robert E. Lee. He met his death at Orange Court House, Va, in 1863.
 Sam was a brave soldier. so the rec ords show, and performed many feats of valor. Accompanied by his banjo, he would sing plantation melodies after the days march, and. when his companions gathered about the camp fire, he beguiled many weary hours,
 Though the Sweeneys played the banjo well, they employed it largely as an instrument for accompaniment, and it was not until Slater opponents developed it that it's possibilities as a solo instrument were realized

coUNTRY's GREATEST BANKER

From the Montgomery Advertiser. E Henry P. Davison, now desperatelv ill in New York, is pronounced by B. c. Forbes, the writer on financial subjects, to be the greatest banker developed by America in the twer. <.
 tieth century" Mir. Forbes made that pronunciamento in answer to a oues- tion by correspondent who wanted
 to know what financial genius had been developed in recent years.
 MT. Forbes presents his reason for Iconsidering Davison, the Morgan
 partner, as the greatest banker who
 has come forward in the past 20 years. For one reason he cites Davi-
 sons remarkable rise, and his being
 drafted by the elder Morgan for a
 partner. Davison had made an amazing success of the New York
 bank with which he had been con-
 nected. He had never sought that financial goal of most talented finan- ciers, partnership with the house of
 Morgan.
 But the elder Morgan sent for him one night and asked him what sort l of contracts he was under following | the next January 1, and then ask ed him bluntly if he could not drop all his affiliations and go to work as a | partner in the firm of J. P. Morgan X Go. The elder Morgan's judgment of men had appeared to be infallible
 he never made mistake in any
 whom he called into the firm. His J Lest selection was probably that in which he chose Dawson.
 1 Davison, like the new president of I the City National bank of New York
 C. E. Mitchell, started in poverty and with handicap. He never even had l the advantage of a college training as did Mitchell. But he knew how to l work hard and he was willing to
 do it. And he had that greatest of all 1 gifts---a wealth of common sense After dazzling success in national
 and international banking. after he 1 had done q large part of the financ-
 ing for the allied nations early in the war he was summoned to finance and direct the great Red Cross organiza tion The cumulative effect Of seven lyears of unremitting labor was toe
 much for him, and he is now desper- ately i'll. He Is 56 years of age.
