ED HowEs FAvoRITE STORY

From The Philadelphia Public Ledger
 E. W. Howe of Kansas has been something of traveller. He made number of trips abroad and went twice around the world. It was on his firsttrip abroad that he encountered one of the sea hounds whose chief boast is concerned with the number of times they have crossed the Atlantic. MT. Howe tells the incl dent as his favorte story.
 ''Is this your first trip?" the sea hound asked Mir. Howe on the occasion of their first meet ing. Mir. Howe admitted that it was. "Well," said the sea hound, five crossed the Atlantic 40 times" On the second day the sea hound again put the question to MT. Howe and again vouchsafed the same observation. He repeated it at frequent intervals during the trip
 It was on the sixth day, after the sea hound had again spoken of the total number of his crossings that MT. Howe said to him: "By the way have you ever been to Omaha?" The sea hound said he never had. Well" retorted MT. Howe, 'I go there every week.

The newspapers and magazines are filled with discussions of the part she will play in the con ference, while Japanese statesmen and writers are exerting themselves as never before to pre- sent their government in the most favorable light. Here and there one may detect resent ment, smouldering hatred and racial pride which bode no good either to America or Japan, but in the main this avalanche of propaganda is designed to make friends, to alay suspi- cion and conciliate public opinion
 There is one plausible explanation for the intense activity among Japanese statesmen and publicists, and tn eunflagging zeal of propa- gandists who are paid by the government. Japan is facing one of the greatest crises in her history. In few decades she has emerged from oriental secluson to become world power. Her far eastern policies have brought her into conflict with other nations who were at first disposed to be friendly, among them America As result of Great Britains fail- ure to renew the Anglo-Japanese treaty and the growing suspicion of Japan, particularly in regard to her treatment of China, she stands in danger of being isolated, deprived of the alliance with England, by which she has profited enormously, and compelled either to stand alone or to seek new alliances, possibly with Russia and Germany. No one realizes better than her statesmen the gravity of Japan's position, since estrangement would be fatal to her dream of greater Japan.
 Knowing how much is at stake, Japan brings to the conference a spirit of accommodation. that much of the propaganda is sincere, be- cause it is based on self-interest. Japan must remain friends with America and Great Brit ain, regardless of the grumbling heard in the British dominions and the jingoes at home.
 For this reason. there is hope for the success of the conference and an amicable solution of the related problems which will have to be settled before there can be any limitation of armament.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
PLEAsED WITH AcE-HERA1n

"It is with pleasure that note the progress of The Age-Herald," said Miss Mathilde Bilbro, well-known composer and author, who has been the guest of Mrs. Sarah Hunt ann During my visit to my old home in Gadsden and in Bir- mingham l have read The Age-HeraId closely and was impressed with the concise manner in which the news is given.
 That was the thing that struck me about the New York papers when first went to the metropolis to live, and am indeed glad to note that this style is being used by Birmingham's morning paper, which makes it compare favora- ply with the largest dailies in the country. I get the paper every day in New York; and it is just like letter from home, as it enables me to keep in touch with my friends in Ala bama"

WARS GROW UGLIER AS COST
 BECOMES FAMILIAR

Another illustration of the cost of wars is furnished by the world peace foundation, which has issued 8 statement, based on figures fur nished by the Secretary of the Treasury, show ing that in the 131 years of the existence of this country under the constitution, four-fifths of the yearly disbursements have gone to war and the things related to war.
 Of the ordinary disbursements of the gov- ernment since 17S9 amounting to 66,o0o ,000, war items amounted to $52.ooo,0oo. The Civil war bill to date has run to twelve billions aad the World war has cost thirty-three billions.
 Such figures are more convincing than the strongest altruistic argument It is the pre- sentation of the cold facts of war that have taken from it's pomp and shown it to be the ugly thing that it is.
 This country has won all the wars in which it engaged, yet it's bill is staggering one. Vic tory at arms is small consolation when it entails net loss to the victor. The facts as to war have opened the eyes of the world and that is tho beginning of the new-found preference for peace.

ELEGIE

C. T. Davis, in The Arkansas Gazette. And there was sound of singing when she cames
 The soaring lark, the winds along the lea
 And the brave chanting of the sun bright sea. And swift across the hills as running flame The flowers sped with message of her fame
 And her fairness; very fair was she
 In bourgeoned blossom and in greening tree, Sunlight and starshine-Summer was her name. Now where she stood golden glamour glows
 And robbed in royal splendor are the trees Purple an damber, crimson, carmine, rose-- Yet through the diapasone of the seas A dirge song runs; and in the winds at dawn There is sound of mourning-she is gone.

A SHOVEL FACTORY

Why not shovel factory in Birmingham?" asked Erskine Ramsay.
 This district uses tens of thousands of them. The steel suited to the purpose could be made here The market is here
 T favor systematic campaign that will find out what could be made here that is not made in Birmingham and then institute effort to have such articles manufactured in the dis trict I believe we could get many factories suited to Birmingham if we went at it with scientific surveys of the consumption and raw material facilities. and then presented these findings to the proper parties"

DIDN'T BELONG TO HIM

From The Edinburgh Scotsman.
 A noncommssioned officer entering bar- rack in Dublin was mistaken by raw sen- try, who immediately saluted him. The non- commissioned officer, unaware that his colonel was just behind, returned the salute--a thing not permissible in the circumstances. Arrived at his quarters he was surprised to find an or der for him to attend before the colonel. On presenting himself he was asked how he came to return the salute, knowing full we'll he was not entitled Ito it.
 Not in the least embarrassed, he promptly answered, "Sir, I always return everything am not entitled to-" The colonel taken back by his ready wit laughingly dismissed him.

Brandon's Candidacy
From, The Mobile Register.

From. The Mobile Register.
 The Birmingham Age-Herald reflects quite 1 growing sentiment in Alabama, when, after speaking of a recent municipal campaign in Birmingham and expressing the view that the people "have had enough politics for a while, says that the people probably would rather devote the next few months to business and up- lifting than to a strenuous political campaign"
 The Age-Herald was speaking directly upon the question of the next gubernatorial contest and expressing the opinion that controversial campaign in Alabama would be unnecessary and avoided if there were general recognition that Judge William w. Brandon of Tuscaloosa. candidate for governor in the primaries, should be chosen without opposition. In support of it's opinion, The Age-Herald said:
 There are many reasons for this Judge
 Brandon is recognized throughout the state
 as man who would make an able and conl-
 petent governor. His long years of public
 service have given him experience which
 would be invaluable in handling the problems
 that confront governor. He is capable, he
 is honest and sincere, he knows the state and
 it's people; and he possesses the confidence of
 the people of Alabama in abundant measure.
 The Birmingham newspaper recalls that in the election of 1919 Judge Brandon lacked but few hundred votes of being elected gov ernor and the newspaper brings to public att tention what has been recognized generally throughout Alabama-that Judge Brandon's dignified attitude and the gracefulness with which he accepted defeat won for him many new friends who will welcome an opportunity to vote for him next year. Therefore, The Age-H Herald, to save the state "the turmoil and strife that inevitably attend spirited political campaign" freely evidences it's position in sup port of Judge Brandon.
 The Birmingham newspaper is on fair, equis- able and public-spirited ground. It is true that Judge Brandon's attitude since his last campaign has won for him many and substan- tial friends. It is the opinion of the Register that this very attitude instills confidence that he measures up to the responsibility and the dignity of the post Certainly, material issues confronting Alabama should not be immersed in political campaign, with perhaps extra neous, confusing and unenlghtening and par tisan issues set up to disturb and keep from normal course the states progress. What con- cerns Alabamians just now is the peace, the welfare and the prosperity of the state.
 It appears to the Register that The Age Herald has suggested course that should be acceptable to Alabama citizenship in view of the fact, generally recognized that Judge Bran don is qualified, and that his candidacy, if un- opposed will place material issues ahead of political partisanship, and will tend to bind, not separate, the citizenship of the state, which consummation it appears, at this juncture, would be for the wider interest of the com monwealth.

CLEARING THE WAY
M FEN, w O M FEN
 AN D T H IN G s

Have you made your will? This is no fool ish question number 7,803, but a pertinent one for every person who has reached his or her majority. And yet, the great majority of peo- pie wait until they feel that they are in the shadow of death before they do it.
 It is not necessary to set out here all the technicalities of will-making or give the various reasons for not dying ntestate. It will be suf ficient to say just enough to make those who read sufficiently interested to consider the mat ter seriously, while they are in good health and sound mind.
 When your conscience troubles you, send for a minister. When your body is- i'll, call in doctor When disposing of your property, con- suit a lawyer. To do these three things is but to act in common prudence, for preacher, phy- sician and advocate are men set apart by edu- cation, training and experience to give advice under certain conditions
 The length of life of all of us is at best un- certain, and we may be stricken by a lingering disease, or be run over by Ford, or suffer an accident of some kind which may make the execution of valid will impossible. Absence of a will in most cases greatly adds to the trou- ble and expense of those who are called upon to administer the estate of deceased person.
 The wills of children can be of no effect, but it is safe for any person 21 years of age to feel certain that he is old enough to make will Just what persons under 21 years of age may make wills depends on the law of each state, which should be examined with care. Persons of advancing years should not delay, as the chance of overturning the will of an aged /person in feeble health is very much greater than that of attacking successfully will of person of middle age in good health.
 Every married man knows that it is his duty to provide for his wife and children, and com mon prudence dictates that every married woman who has property of her own should take some precaution as to it's devolution and the protection of her children. Most persons have relatives and friends whom they are under obligations not expressed in terms of dollars and cents, and such persons with a proper sense of gratitude can show this in no better way than by proper provisions in will. It is not only good business, but good morals

PUSSYFOOTS PROGRESS
From The Chicago News.

From The Chicago News.
 Like Pilgrims progress, as described by John Bunyan, the life of Pussyfoot Johnson found it's Slough of Despond and its Vanity Fair in England. But recently Pussyfoot has been touring the orient, and reports from In- dia tell tale of triumph. In fact, only the pomps of Bacchus on his fabled progress through India introducing the vine have equaled the pomps of Pussyfoot taking it out.
 Bacchus demonstrated the grape from car drawn by .leopards, with old Silenus and troop of satyrs to distribute samples. As against the satyys of Silenus, Pussyfoot had only sec retary, and his car was drawn by plain locomo- tive instead of by spotted leopards. Still the gorgeous east has showered him with barbaric pearls and gold. Rajahs and nawabs have piled hinr with gifts, which include case of jewels, a gold watch and bejeweled photo graphs. The thakor sahib of Limbri has closed his distillery and Bhavanagar went dry Novem- Der 1. There was nothing small about the princes of Hindustan when it came to Pussy foot.
 It seems fitting that the Indian sunset of the grape should be as glorious as the sunrise. There was drabness about the dawn of pro- hibtion in this country which i'll became an event so momentous. When it comes to stag ing great occasions the western world has much to learn from India.

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH

From The St. Louis Post t-Dispatch.
 The electrifying effect of the jump in cot ton on the south is well known, but certain phases of the south's industrial experience the past year, with which the country generally is not familiar, were interestingly discussed by southern editors who attended the meeting of the democratic national committee.
 The boil weevi, arch enemy of the cotton planter, has some valuable accomplishments to his credit, according to Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution. Where propaganda had failed or only indfferently succeeded the tcll weevil has delivered striking results; it has driven the southern farmer from sole reliance on cotton into other crops. In consequence Georgia has produced 6O,o00,000 bushels of corn this year and substantially increased the yield of sweet potatoes, hay, cattle and hogs. This compulsory diversification, brought about by the boil weevil, which made cotton growing hazardous, means that Georgia can live on her own resources now, MT. Howell says, and, be. sides, ship foodstuffs to other markets.
 Speaking for Alabama, E. w. Barrett, editor of The Birmingham Age-Herald, reiterated his Atlanta colleagues observations as to industrial impetus occasioned by the cotton advance and also remarked upon the commercial advantages accruing to his city and state from the Missis- sippi- Warrior barge service. Already l2 ships have been built at Mobile yards from parts car. ried there from Birmingham in St. Louis barges and those ships are now carrying rails and ether steel products from Alabama to Japan.
 Both editors are agreed that the industrial activity in the south following the cotton rise is not temporary furry, but the beginning of a long era of prosperity. With crop diversifi- cation fact accomplished and adequate trans portation, which will come with the utilization of the rivers, the south looks forward to an ir- dustrial security and magnitude it has not known before. Cotton, of course, will continue to be the money crop and the boil weevi! is a scourge that must be overcome, but when it is finally vanquished it will survive in tradition as the curse that proved obe blessing.

CATTLE RAISING IN DALLAS

Weaver of near Sell ma. q have something over 100 head of beef cattle ready for shipment They have reached their best pasture, and wanted to find out whether it was better to sell while the low prices prevail or feed them through the winter, on the chance that the market will be better in the spring. While cotton is still the main crop in Dallas, cattle raising is fast coming to the front. The dairy industry is helping to put lot of ready money in circulation. I have about 40 Jerseys. The two creameries at Selma buy all the milk that the dairymen bring in.'

SAVE TIME AND MONEY

Tt were well to ask ourselves as citizens of Birmingham if we have not gone about as far as we should in the organization and fostering of clubs and associations that assemble but few of us and hence do not count for community action" said L.

 Tt has begun to seem to me that we would accomplish more if we were all lined up with one great central body, whence could issue the real community spirit. believe we would save time and money by this centralization of eff fort"
