WINTER

SWITZERLAND
Largest Rink In Europe
and Bob Sleighs
Everywhere

Switzerland, that mecca of the
devotee OF winter sport, Is again
calling its thousands to the health
giving rush and thrill of its skat-
ing, tobogganning, curling and
king. The little republic has
hosts of winter citizens who, in
other seasons, owe allegiance to
all varied countries of the earth.
During the war other thousands,
among them many Americans,
convalesced there, to remain for
ever in thrall to the magic Of its
wintertime.
And the colors of the women 5
costumes. A cerisc hued sweatc",
a cerise cap, a green skirt and q
bright yellow 1carf, not to forget
cerise colored sport hose. This
is one of the absolutely correct
combinations of Swiss winter days
and it is strikingly beautiful in the
setting fermine and silver Of the
Swiss Alps.
Now think of a skating ring
measuring 10000 square yards,
where every recognized form of
ice sport is seen at its best. This
wonder rink, the largest in Eu-
ope is at Davos, in the Grisons,
and is the favorite meeting place
of the international champions
and virtuoso skaters.
Mountain lakes have been trans
formed into huge racing arena :,
where Europe's champions com
pete in a variety of contests.

 organizations has been called for next Tuesday at l o'clock at which time
 action will be taken on the agricul- .
 tural fair proposition and a definite
 decision rendered.
 most interesting meeting of the AAAN o'iiS Nidp was nelu yesterday when various propositions were dis
 cussed among which were the potato canning factory question and the European relief work. NJ M. Mccall, president of the National bank of opelika, made an earnest appeal for the unfortunate children who are dy- ing of starvation in certain foreign countries. MT.

Confessed Confederates of Holmes Directly Accuse He Was Master Mind of Ring
 to Kill Officers

Tuseumbia. February 4.-(SpecialJ- Everly vantage point in the Colbert county court room was occupied when Judge Charles Almon rapped for order immediately after lunch hour today in the trial of, Will Holmes, alleged mas Ter mind" of a ring of moonshiners who tzre charged with banding together for &he murder of Don Stephenson and other prohibition officers. Even the judge s stand was not immune from the spec tators who crowded around the stand of the judge during the taking of the tes- timony.
 The most important evidence offered today by the state to prove the exis- tence of a ring and the implication of Holmes as the leader was given by Louis Kirby, negro, in the employ of Holmes, and Hamp Kirby. who, for the third time, with tears in his eyes, related the horrible story of the killing Of Stephenson and the formation of band to slay the law enforcement officers.
 NEGRO'S TESTIMONY
 Louis Kirby's testimony as to the pur- chase of three sacks of sugar and a box of buckshot shells on the Thursday pre- ceding the shooting was corroborated by Will Reid, the merchant from whom the stuff was bought and the efforts of the defense to in any way shake the evidence of the negro after most rapid-fire cross examination failed. He told the story substantially over and over under the fire of the attorney for the defense
 Kirby said that he was hired by Holmes to drive his car, that Holmes owned sew eral stills in this county, and had com plained to him that Officers Hollings- worth and Gargis had been tearing up the stills entirely too regularly, and that if they got any more of them they would have to take tfen,-
 The negro also stated when Hamp Kirby came mp and told Holmes that "he Tad killed three of the damn rascals. '' that he Q1olmes) shook his hand and laughed He also said that Holmes tried to get him to swear that Hamp Kirby sent him after the shells, but said he couldn't do 1t. as he had already told the officers the truth about buying them on Holmes order.
 HAMP KIRBY REPEATS
 Hamp Kirby followed Louis Kirby on the stand and told the story as he had done on two other occasions, adding that while he was in jail at Florence. Win Holmes came to him and begged him

 Previous to this. however, Kirby salo
 that Will Holmes shook hands with nm after he had learned what had been done and said:
 | Good. old boy, wei go get the rest of | them and kill them and throw tner ' bodies in the river.
 Hamp Kirby testified that the plot to | kill the officers was matched by VIII Holmes about week before the Kill | ing, and that after it was done Holmes expressed delight; that he made him proposition to pay him $50 month while in the penitentiary if he would take all the blame upon himself for | the murder of Stephenson, and that if | he laid up in jail at Tuscumbia a long | time and became trusty he (Holmes) would furnish him with spending money.
 | TO JURY TODAY The morning session of court was devoid of any special interest. The only witnesses being examined were | those by whom the state sought to prove the death of Stephenson and | that he was killed in Colbert county, among those testifying being Judge c. A.

 After having been out all night, the l jury which had the case of Jake Smith, charged along with the Kirbys of slay- I ing Stephenson, returned it's verdict | this morning at o'clock giving the defendant 50 years on second degree murder charge.

 In 1919 the values of corn and cotton crops in Alabama was as follows:
 Cotton-713OOO bales, S153, ,966, 900 (including seed.)
 Corn-62,S 900 bushels S99,92O,- 900.
 In 1920 the yield and values were: Cotton--660, ,OO0 bales, S6l ,272,O 900 (including seed)
 Corn-67 ,234,O00 bushels, s67O57,- 00O
 Probably not one person out of thou sand could answer this question: "Whichis the third crop in value in Alabama?" It IS hay. In their relative rank as wealth producers, the field crops other than corn and cotton in 1920 were as follows: Hay 1,324,oOo tons value s27,122,- 900.
 Sweet Potatoes 1885, 900 bushels, $16,539,000.
 Irish Potatoes -3,215,0OO bushels, $11,250,000
 Sugar Cane -1o,35S, 900 gallons S10,- 718,000.
 Cowpeas- -5,113, 900 bushels, S9,622,- 900.
 Sorghum Syrup 8,917,ooO gallons, S8,340,000.
 Velvet Beans 440,0O0 tons, S7,914,- 0OO
 Oats 6,833,000 bushels, S6,74OO0O Peanuts 9,024,000 bushels, $6,151,- 900. Wheat 680, 900 bushels, S1, ,594,OO Soy Beans -227 900 bushels, S588,- 900.
 Tobacco 100000 pounds, s42o,- To these values of the harvested crops must be added the values of the crops that were hogged or grazed as follows: Pea nuts, $5,985,000; velvet beans, S8,481,- 900; cowpeas, $1,122,000; soy beans, S479,OO0; sweet potatoes, S1,386,O 900; sugar cane for seed, $2,318,0 ,000; sorghum for feed, $23O,OOO
 The per acre value of the yield of the different crops is worth while noting. The average per acre money value of the crops named was as follows
 Irish Potatoes $234.4O.
 Sugar Cane-$178.27.
 Tobacco S140.00.
 Sweet Potatoes S94.66
 Sorghum Syrup-S83.50.
 Soy beans came next with S25, then cot ton with $21, hay with S19, corn $15, oats SIS, wheat $23.
 That Alabama is no longer one-crop state the farm data of 1920 more than shows. The cotton crop constituted but 22per cent of the entire crop values The hay yield was almost one-half of the value of the cotton crop and sweet potatoes brought almost one-third as much as cot ton Irish potatoes brought one-fifth as much and cowpeas and sugar cane were not far behind.
 The farmers are going ahead this year with diversification as they never have before What they had in the fall of1920 of food and feed raised at home kept them from the stores and enabled them to hold their cotton This autumn the home
