LETTERS TO EDITOR
COMING OF DR. popp
iitor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Some mention has been made of Dr. Will liam E. Dodd's coming visit to Birmingham. had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Dodd several times last summer at Lake Junaluska, N. C., and l must say he is one of the most interest ing lecturers on history d have ever heard
 Dr. Dodd twas born in Clayton, N. C.. ed ucated in Virginia and at the University of Leipzig; professor of history at Randolph Macon from 1900 to 1909, where he wrote two books, "The Life of Nathaniel Macon" and the Life of Jefferson Davis." He has been professor of American history at the University of Chicago since January, 1909.
 In 1911 he published ."Statesmen of the Old South," book treating of Thomas Jefferson, John C.. Calhoun and Jefferson aDvis, and their meaning to the south
 In 1914 he published history of the United States in four volumes. In 1917 he published Cotton Kingdom and in 1920 "Woodrow Wilson and His Work" This book is now in it's fourth edition. In these publications he brought out the greater features of the hs- tory of the south. Not one of these books has been seriously questioned and some of them are widely used in colleges and universi- ties in the north. IT bUuu mas teCtureu III tne OuiNcISAtieo O1 California, Wisconsin, Chicago, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Iowa and many of the colleges in the south on subjects con nected with American history, and especially on Woodrow Wilson and his great work in the world
 He will be here Sunday, November 27, and will lecture in the city that evening (place to be given later) on the "Moral Significance of Wilsonism." He will speak at the Civic Forum, Hilman hotele, Monday, November 28, and at the two colleges some time during the day, and will probably lecture on the Moral Awak- ening of the Wilson Presidency"
 Those who will be fortunate enough to hear Dr. Dodd will realize what treat he is.

SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THE RUMOR MONGER

Time and time again reports of big mills at rounds when all that has occurred is the shift ing of few hundred men from one plant to another. Visitors to one part of the mammoth works of the Tennessee company, from which activity has been temporarily transferred, come back to town with the report that the steel mills are idle and hundreds of men have been let out of employment. They "know it." because they have "seen with their own eyes"
 There is way of getting correct informa- tion. Manufacturers of the district will give the status of operations to any reputable cit- zen who wants to know. Weekly summaries of industrial operations are published by The Age Herald. Information gotten from the heads of industrial concerns and that gathered by reputable newspapers is far more reliable than rumors circulated by irresponsible persons.

WHY so MANY GRoUCHEs?

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Why is it that everybody seems to have grouch? At no period of the worlds history, and most certainly within my own knowledge, has there been such a universal desire to knock and otherwise flatten out the other fellow, ap- parently without rhyme reason. One hears it on the cars, in the street and everywhere two or three are congregated somebody some thing is being ndustriousy knocked.
 Has the milk of human kindness and love dried up, decayed or merely been lost? AL most every conversation one hears somebody's paign for city commissioner, what those fellows said about each other, if only partially true, would have put the whole bunch in jail. Everybody is hunting for something to kick about.
 Possibly it is because the world is going too fast, the pace is so strenuous that con- fusion and coNsternation have possessed hu- manity and in it's bewilderment is seeking to place the blame ton someone else, of course). This mad rush and hurry permeates our whole life; brotherly love and charity are completely submerged and can be brought to the surface only by the most strenuous efforts, and then but temporarily.
 The older ones of us can remember when a man was going somewhere he went in an OK wagon, and if it took week it was all right, and the man was contented and happy, but now electricity is too slow for him, and he can not slow down enough for an old person or child to get out of his way. And now he is discontented and unhappy. Whats the an- swer?
 It is he writer's opinion that we are going the pace that kills, and especially is this true of the workers, for they the sufferers from this system, and hence they become soured and instead of being normal become abnormal and feel grouchy. Unless there is showdown something is going to crack. A large percentage of the push and hurry is un- reasonable and wholly uncalled for.

NEwBERRY SHOULD BE UNsEATED

| NEW BERh4 SdOOLD DE- ONOCA1IAD To the Editor of The Age-Heraid:
 The American people do not believe in allow ing an expenditure of $263,oOo by candi- date for the United States Senate and at this time when the democrats areJ endeavoring to have free and full discussion of the propo- sition, the republicans, as usual, are sidetrack- ing the matter.
 The majority of the committee in their re- port admitted frankly and freely that $195,coo had been paid by Senator Newberry for his seat in the Senate. Now, if the republicans allow Newberry to retain his seat, it simply means the fixing of the price of the United States Senate at $195,O0O per seat, and there are many people in this country who would be willing to pay the price in order to be q member of that body.
 Some newspapers have gone so far as to claim that as much as $S00,000 was spent in this campaign, but to bring it down to the S195 ,O00 figure, which they admit, no man can defend this expenditure in a campaign for senatorship in any state in the union.
 It is peculiar how the republicans condemn this act of Newberry's and at the same time try to defend him with their vote by letting him remain as a member of the Senate, which will be shame and disgrace to this country.

WHEN A NOVELIST MODS

From the Atlanta Georgian When W. L. George, the famous English nov elist, sets out to mix metaphor he makes good job of it like this: The cloud that tried to stab their happiness was only false rumor whose bitter taste could not splinter the ra- diance nor dim the effervescence of their joy' BEHIND THE DOOR
 By Bert Leston Taylor.
 Hither thither, little feet
 Patter on the floor;
 Still am I in my retreat,
 Hid behind the door.
 If my hiding place is guessed,
 Comes gleeful cry;
 But if vain should be the quest,
 There are tears to dry. In the House of Life, my dear,
 All is not so fair;
 Happiness is hiding here,
 Sorrow hiding there.
 May the gods your life endow
 From their boundless storel May you always find, as now,
 Love behind the door.

HOW TO FIGURE
COST or CROPS
Farmer Enabled to Compute for
Himself Expense of Produc-
ing Various Crops.
REQUIREMENTS or EACH CROP
II Precise Records Are Not Available
on Labor and Material Expendi-
lures Close Estimate Can Be
Made of That Section.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Figures from which the farmer can
compute for himself the cost of pro-
duction Of corn, corn for silage, wheat,
oats, and hay, under given conditions,
are presented in preliminary report
on labor and material requirements of
those crops, recently issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. These figures cover the normal
hours of man labor and horse labor,
and quantities of seed, fertilizers, etc.,
required per acre for each crop, as
determined by surveys by the office OF
farm management and farm econom-
les.
Apply Basic Factors.
The money cost is found by apply
ing to these basic factors the current
rates for labor, seed, etc. Inasmuch
as it has been found that, in general,
labor and material costs approximate
so per cent of the total operating cost
for these crops, it is easy to find this
total when the labor and material costs
are known.
The figures given represent average
crop requirements for the regions
where Investigations have been made.
If the farmer does not have precise
records of labor and material expendi-
lures for his own farm, he can esti-
mate them pretty closely by taking the
average for his own region as basis
and applying current rates for labor
and materials, with due allowance for
any unusual conditions that may exist
in his own case. The method of COM
putation is as follows:
/. Determine the total cost of labor
and material per acre by applying cur
rent rates to the quantities of labor
and materials obtained from the In
dividual's own records, or, if such are
not available, use those given in the
table.
2. Determine the total operating ex-
pense per acre by dividing the cost OF
labor and material by the percentage
figure given for each region.
8. Determine the total acre cost OF
production by adding the interest
charge or the cash rent paid for the
use of land.
A. To determine the cost per bushel
or ton divide the total acre cost by
the yield per acre.
The, following example shows how
this method worked out In figuring
the cost Of corn for silage on an Iowa
