It's just as natural for people to get out and dig and plant something these days as it is for everybody to want to burn trash They'd do it. even if they knew it was a hopeless job. There's the fun of planting, and taking a chance on beating winter at it's little game.
 Planting belongs with the songs of the birds which are already begin ming to scold at you if you even look as though you are interested in their seeking nest in the attic caves; and to the first springtime flowers that are making their appearance on the streets.
 Run get the hoe and the spade and the mattock! You're not fashionable if you're not digging. Plant a nut or a fruit tree; start a shade this year; get the crepe myrtle to grow ing; encourage some roses. This is not only the way to raise sand pleas antly-but it'll make the city and your home more beautiful.

M'DUFF PROBES
 CLARK WHIPPING Chief of Police Says lndica- tionS Fail to duplicate
 Officer Tyler

Chief Of Police Fred McDuff made a personal investigation of the alieg- cd flogging by police officers of Car sroll K. Clark. who was taken from his Ensley home Tuesday night by un- known parties and severely whipped. The chief announced that his probe of the affair failed to show any i'm plicaion by officers of the police de- partment.
 "The matter will be thoroughly probed," declared W. B. Cloe. com missioner of public safety. and the guilty party or parties brought to justice, but indications so far fail to duplicate any officers of my depart naent in connection with the deed. The matter is in the hands of the chief of police and his findings will govern the matter"
 Clark, who is reported to have said the recognized the voice of ". N. Tyler, Ensley police foficer, as one of his dozen ass&ilants yesterday, is also reported to have declared he had reason to believe further that Tyler was a member of the flogging party because of words which passed between the two when he refused ad- : mission to officers seeking entrance into his home with a search warrant because the law specifically prohibits search of homes between o'clock at night and o'clock the following morning.
 At the time of the arrival of off cers at the Clark home Tuesday night, Clark says the officer informed him You'll be sorry about this before the night is over" and after the alleged threat the party departed and he was later taken foreibly by two men on the street to a point nearby where waiting automobile carried them to lonely spot near Bessemer at Piney Wood and administered the thrash ing.
 Officers deny any threats made upon their appearance at Clark home, but add that Clark was m formed at the time, You won't gain anything by this" referring to oeins denied admission.
 ..The matter will be sifted, oe clared Chief McDuff yesterday, ana the guilty parties held amenaole however. my investigations so Tar fail to duplicate police officers oi the department"

Everybody Doing It
 These pictures show what hundreds of citizens are occupied with. in town, in the suburbs, and in the eoun- try The seed stores are filled with everybody from farmers who have come to buy crop seed to little Mary Ann, who wants some radishes for her school garden.
 Then there's mamma and grandma who are searching for all sorts of bulbs and plants for the front flower bed; and big sister looking for most anything she can grow in a glass par for her best beau to rave over and tell her she shouldn't soil her little hands doing such rough work
 Now wouldn't it be cruel if winter came rushing back, awfully peeved, laid down floor of ice, set all the little seeds to shivering, and maybe freeze the poor things stiff.
