UNDERWOOD HAS NOT DESERTED
 THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY


 The Florida Metropolis attacks Senator Un- derwood for serving as an American represen- tative in the arms conference and accuses him of "deserting his party" The Metropolis was led to criticize the Alabama senator because of a report from Washington that there was revolt among the democrats headed by Sen ator Carter Glass.
 In the course of it's editorial the Metropolis says, "The embarrassing accusation aimed at the minority leader is not surprise. He in- vited it. He forced it by his actions. It is hardly likely that Senator Underwood was inspired by any ideal of service to participate in the conference. He is a professional pol- tician, versed in all the features of the game, worldly wise; and political experience always overshadows ideaism. Some political thought must have forced the senator to decide to ignore the warning of his own party and affiliate him self with the administration for the time being, and it is up to him to defend himself. Having sown the seeds of suspicion he must now reap the crop of condemnation"
 Senator Underwood needs no defense by The Age-Herald, any other paper, for his patriotic services in the arms conference, but a few words of explanation are due the Metrop- oils, which confessas an admiration for Mr. Underwood and views his "fall from grace more in sorrow than anger. In the first place, there is no revolt against MT. Underwood's To, of of that kind were promptly denied, and with some, heat, by Senator Glass himself
 The Metropolis assertion that democrats regarded with suspicion Senator Underwood's acceptance of President Hardings invitation to sit at the conference table with the American delegation" must be taken with grain of sal- A few small-bore politicians may have done so but the better element among democrats viewed MT. Underwoods action as entirely praise worthy and commendable. Had MT. Under wood wanted to play petty politics he would have stayed out of the conference, instead of accepting MT. Harding's appointment He regarded the duty too important for the nations welfare to let partsanship interfere with performing it to the best of his ability, and in that he was exactly right. We have always had too much politics and not enough statesmanship, for the greatest good of the greatest number in Washington.
 The fact that there is no dissension in the democratic ranks and the four-power pact will be ratified by republican and democratic votes would fully vindicate Senator Underwood, if he required vindication It is generally recog- nized that the democrats will share in what ever glory results from the arms conference and will not be blamed for it's shortcomings In either Senator Underwood's position is unassailable.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
GOING THROUGH THE TUNNEL
PAUL COOK.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 It is currently reported in the almanacs that there are 365 days in the year and firmly believe if the almanac made it 4s0 days, David Grace would have thew one" for each day. Here is last Fridays:
 A civil engineer who had worked on certain tunnel was going through. it every day on a train and by his side was a very pretty young lady. Emerging from the tunnel they were noticed sitting about foot apart, in an easy air of nonchalance, but her hat was away off to one side and an ear mat missing, which gave her kind of raksh air, which was very charming.
 The engineer leaned over to the young lady and said, This tunnel cost million dollars ? In her winning way she archly looked him in the eye and replied, Don't you think it's worth it7"
 This reminds me of one I heard Chauncey Depew tell to a small company in New York once. HA
 On his railroad, the New York Central, there is a small station at the end of tunnel, called Sawyer. ~
 On train there was a young farmer with his sweetheart by his side and when they emerged from the tunnel her hat was on the floor and great pile of beautiful auburn hair brakeman opened the door and called out the name of the station, Sawyer" Sawyer" The young farmer called out, q don't care if you did I'll do it again.

 They wanted to do right. They settled this, they settled that In Continental hall, But China's pleas for justice there Were scarcely heard at all. ''In principle" they soon agreed,
 That much we must admit; Constructing costly battleships
 They promised they would quit. The old Pacific, so they said,
 Would live up to its name, And pleasing platitudes on peace They ventured to proclaim. But what's the fate of China? Well, Nobody seems to know; For Doctor Koo and poor Sze, too, It must be quite blow. can't explain just how it was They suffered sad mishaps, But if you want to find out why, 5 You'd better ask the Japs.

PREDICTS ORANGE SHORTAGE

"An orange shortage this year is very likely" stated William A. Jordan, of the produce firm of Marshall, Jordan & Keith. Letters from leading Florida fruit growers indicate that such shortage might be prevalent.
 "The only explanation I can give for it is that the crop is probably shorter than in many years and that shipping conditions are not so good.
 Oranges have to be picked before they are fully ripe in order that they will not spoil while in transit. They cannot be packed in wet or damp places, for if they orange rot might be started, and if this starts it is hard to keep it from spreading to every orange in the car.
 "Probably there will be well-stocked market of oranges at Christmas time but chances are against it. To be safe you'd better buy early"
 GOOD HOG AND CATTLE STATE
 "It was some years ago in the great north west that went to a big cattle show and had my eyes opened about cattle raising in Ala bama," says Horace Hammond. q was going through the pens and commenting on some fine exhibits when I was asked from what state came, and upon answering Alabama was sur prised at the amount of information possessed by my interocutor, for he proceeded to tell me what wonderful hog raising and cattle country it was and how much better suited to the game than the north and west on account of it being so much cheaper to feed live stock in the south It convinced me that if Alabama's superiority in the cattle industry was brought home to tn north and west there would be an influx of settlers here"
 TO HAVE HEALTH INSTITUTE
 "The public health institute which will be held here next month will attract some well-known experts said Dr. w. c. Blasingame, director of the bureau of control of venereal diseases, before returning to Montgomery from attend ance at the conference of the county health officers.
 "It will be from Monday to Friday, January 16-20 and will treat of all diseases which are encountered in Alabama. Internationally known experts, state and local doctors will take part in the institute.
 "Dr. Scale Harris, Dr. James s. McLester and Dr. J. D. Bowling among Birmingham physicians who will be on the program"

DEMAND FOR MASON COUNTY
POULTRY IS VERY GREAT
80 Heavy Was Demand for Rhode

Demands for Mason county poultry
Is very great Just at this time and
scores of birds of the Rhode Island
variety, which is Mason county's spe-
c'aity, are now being shipped to all
parts of the United States by the Ma
son County Poultry Association.
Persons receiving free settings of
the pure bred Rhode Island Red eggs
last spring returned to the Association
during the Corn and Tobacco Fair one
puliet for each setting of eggs. 1t
was the purpose Of the association TO
mold public auction Of the bullets
but the demands for fowls from other
sections was so great that it required
all OF these pullets and even more TO
supply the demand, hence the public
was not held.
Poultry from Mason county has
gone this year to some fifteen odd
states OF the union and TO many coun-
Ties IN our own state. Mason county's
reputation as the home of Rhode Is-
land Reds has increased greatly.

BANKERS MEET WITH
FINANCE COMMITTEE
Of COOPERATIVE
System Of Financing COOPERATIVE
Tobacco Movement Is Discussed
At Conference Of Bankers and
Finance Committee.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 22. - Repre-
sentatives of all Louisville banks met
Monday with the finance committee OF
the Burley Tobacco Growers Cooper
ative Marketing Association to con-
slider plans for the financing Of the
movement to handle the 1921 crop by
the association.
Regional divisions of the Kentucky
State Bankers Association and the
body as a whole have pledged their
support to the organization
1t is the intention of the leaders In
the association to deal with local
banks whenever possible and to go to
larger money markets only when they
have been told by Kentucky banks
that conditions justify such move.
Louisville banks and those in the
Burley belt are expected to furnish
most of the money needed by the as
sociation to handle the 1921 crop.
Four sources of credit outside of
Kentucky have been offered to the as
sociation. By ruling of the federal
reserve board, headed by W. P. G.
Harding, who visited Louisville last
week, the paper of the association will
be rediscountable through the federal
reserve system as agricultural paper.
A similar decision was announced
by the live stock and agricultural
agency of the War Finance Corpora
tion here recently, in which tobacco
was made an acceptable security for
loans from this body.
The National City Bank Of New
York, the United States Trust Com
pany, of New York, and many other |
financial interests in the east have |
made bids TO rthe business of the as
sociation and have sent representa-
tives to Kentucky.
In addition Cincinnati banks have
been making advances toward obtain
ing the loaning account of the associ-
alton, it was said.
The members of the committee are
Charles N. Manning, president of the
Security Trust Company, Lexington;

Special revival services will begin
at the Little Brick Church" on next
Sunday, November 9th, during which
time the pastor will be assisted by the
Rev. w. p. Davis, Pastor-Evangelist.
In regard to the revival Pastor
Crowson issues this statement:
In harmony with the ancient custom
OF our church that of more or less
periodically holding revivals, we be-
gin the fall revival of the Second NJ.
E. Church, South, November 9th. Re-
vivals are necessities in the life of
growing church. If we would pro-
gress, we must keep consecrated for
the Master and alive to our duty. In
order to do this frequentl refreshings
# grace are required.
We feel a great dearth of spiritual
ity in this city. Evidences of sin every
where abound. With these things God
is not pleased. 1t is against sin that
Christians wage warfare, and to re-
move it from earth, Jesus died. In this
revival we look forward to a time of
quickening on the part of Gods child |
rem and salvation for sinners.
We have been fortunate in securing
for our help in this work at this time |
Rev. w. p. Davis, brother-pastor of
the Kentucky conference. We have
known this brother several years,
have been in close association with
him, both privately and publicly, have
seen him under frequent tests and
tials, have heard him and helped him
conduct such seasons of refreshing
as we propose at the present time
Truly, he is man of God He is a
man of prayer, He has a sociable ma
ture and preaching ability that God
can functionize and that has often
reached many a poor soul lost in sin
We commend him to the community
for your prayers, fellowship and CO.
operation in the great work in which
he has come to lead us.
In order to make this revival a sue
cess intensive cooperation on the
part of Gods children is all-important
We request not only your prayers and
attendance but your sympathies and f
open homes to the brother visiting us.
Although strong preacher against {
lin, Bro. Davis is very sociable and | /
pleasant spirit, and any home receiv- c
ng him for a moment of entertain /
nent will not soon forget the blessing | n
# his presence with them. We feel a
ure that the old-time Kentucky hos
itality will not fail us in this hour
f mutual service and benefit. "
Especially do we covet your pray Il
RS and presence. Particularly do we
ge you, who know God, to work with
s for the rescue of lost men and IL
omen; we urge you to manifest a
Missionary zeal and effort that will
ring men to see Jesus.
For anyone who is reading this no
ce that is lingering in the bondage
sin there is an especial welcome. r
ONE up and inherit the goods things :
the Lord freely with us. You need u
ID and God needs you. You are hun
y for Him, and He is yearning for r
u. "Be ye reconciled to God" ,
In love and faith, we remain, y
