 Lots of men have all the clothes they want. But you never saw q woman who felt that way.
 If woman is wearing her skirts high enough man never notices whether she is blonde or brunette.
 Why is it that while woman can see million ways in which her husband could be improved she thinks that her children are perfect?

 why shouldn't the Kentuckian be proud Kentucky in the sisterhood of states enjoys a peculiar and an unap- proachable place. If she is deploraoly high in illiteracy, let us remember that
 in the great World war she was one or the foremost among those states which led all the rest in the physical fitness ana

KNOWING HOW TO SAVE

From the Minneapolis Journal.
 Saving part of the income ought to be the rule of every mans life. or course, this may be overdone. though it doesn't happen very often To make a business of saving, profession or economizing, a trade of thrift is likely to develop a narrow nature, even as reckless spending develops habitual improvidence. Which state of man is the worse?
 To use good Judgment in saving and spending alikethat's the idea. Rus kin put it in another way:
 .'Econocy no more means saving money than it means spending money; lit means administr traitor of house; its stewardship; spending or saving whfether money or time or anything else. to the best possible advantage.
 The man whose wife spends his in come as fast as he earns it keeps his nos eflattened on the grindstone- The day will come when shis earning ca pacity will be gone and no preserves will be found on the pantry shelf. It is the same if the husband is the spender and the wife the saver. The best plan is when both follow Ruskins idea of administration and stewardship, saving and spending with common sense and due attention to appropriate living.

Farmer Not to Biame

There is farmer who believes in the war garden idea. He is Frank Johnson, living near Birmingham.
 People profited a whole lot by that wat garden idea" said MT. Johnson. Besides profiting they leatned some thing, and the work to most folks was so interesting they took a keen enjoy ment in doing it.
 If that idea is continued through the coming season, folks are going to find that it's going to help this infer nal living question lot. And if your going to put this in the paper, just say that the farmer is not the fellow to blame for the high prices. I got less than dollar for potatoes awhile back, and tn restaurants in your town charge you Is cents for one potato mashed. and l doubt if it's one potato.

Open Air Market

An adequate. covered. open air mar ket for Birmingham during the coming spring and summer is real necessity said pr. Courtney Shropshire. "A few days ago when I was in Atlanta, Mayor Key spoke to the Atlanta Kiwanis club on the subject of a similar market for Atlanta. That city is planning to have one immediately, and figures that it will save thousands of dollars in the handling of country produce.
 Birmingham can do anything that Atlanta can. Our need is just as great as that Of our neighbor on the east, and l am in favor of making an early start toward getting a municipal mar ket. We have little enough time to get it and put it in working order before the spring season opens.''

LOVES WIRELEss

Samuel Minturn Peck in the Boston Transcript. Whenever I feel sad and lorn,
 And naught can wake my mirth; When can see at eve~or morn
 No glory on the earth; When everything I do looks wrong,
 And I am full of doubt; When evil luck seems going strong. I send a wireless out No apparatus do own,
 No battery have I, Yet speedily the call hath flown.
 And itgoes far and high; For battery I use my heart
 What care l if you flout? With faithful love my only art
 1 send my wireless out. I send it to the friends love.
 Who, near and far. love me, And swifter than the fleetest dove It flies o'er land and sea; feel 1t go my courage grow.
 My faint heart waxes stout; And loved ones far-I feel they know I've sent my wireless out. Smile on. smile Ion, and shake your I'm sorry for your lack; Full well know the message sped, They send me something back. Though all the world term me insane.

written on) do not believe that the United States of America will have anything whatever to do with the soviet government.
 A. J. Sack, who is director of the Russian information bureau in the United States, in sending out MT. Boon's observations as published i'll the World along with the observa- tions of other recent visitors to Rus sia, says they are only repeating "the things which we, Russian democrats, struggling against the tyranny of bolshevism, have been telling the American people during the past three and half years"
 President Wilson, in his Armenian note to the president of the League of Nations, takes the position that conditions in Russia cannot be cor rected by forcible aggression from the outside. He says that the Rus sian people must work out their own problem in their own way, and that if they are left alone they will solve it more quickly than if there is con stant outside interference.
 Perhaps the President is right. And yet it calls for all the self-restraint of which the world is capable to re main inactive under situation which for Alabamians, is aggravated by the fact that Captain Fitzpatrick, one o1 her native sons, languishes Tn Rus sian prison for no other offense thar that he was performing Red Gross work along the battle lines.

Alabama Can See
 Good Year Ahead

| A LABAMA apparently is escap- AA ing the financial depression that
 is gripping many other sections of the United States.
 Within the last 10 days, scores of reports of annual bank meetings in virtually every part of the state sug- gest an optimism that is decidedly healthful and helpful and encourag- | ing.
 It also is a matter of satisfaction l that press dispatches from numerous cities report industrial programmes that lend basis to the idea that per- haps the coming 12 months will es- tablish record for business in Ala bama. Tuscaloosa, for instance, has huge building programme outlined, including new $10O,O00 home for the oldest bank in the state; Anniston |
 will expend more than quarter of a million dollars on it's streets; Mobile l is boasting coal terminal that will cost $400,00O; the board of trustees of an educational institution at
 Thorsby met a few evenings ago and
 decided upon building schedule totaling more than $500,OO0, and other cities, big and little. Birming- ham, Jasper, Montgomery, Dothan, Andalusia, Florence-scores of them are making similar reports. There
 is no occasion, apparently, to be downcast in Alabama.
