thought that serious damage has been averted for the present
 eIn connection with the increase in potato acreage in southern conn ties it is noted with regret that many of the large peach orchards have been abandoned and the land on which they grew planted to spu1s. In Escambia county one orchard If more than loo acres was uprooted this spring Failure to produce for long enough period 10 pay the eX- pense of upkeep is the reason as- signed for abandonment Insects and plant diseases and the necessity for heavy fertilization appear to be re- sponsibIe for this failure. Some of these orchards will be replaced by satsuma oranges in the near future.
 Grow Cucumhers
 Gulf coast counties are growing cueumbers rather heavily for marke : this season. Baldwin perhaps is lead ing In this crop. The product will be shipped for green consumption, ss pck1ing has returned rather low value with heavy cost for picking the smaller cucumbers.
 "The early crop of cabbage from Mobile county will soon be out of hand, with probably t,200 cars for the season. Upstate sections will come in later with numerous small areas
 eThe first cutting Of hay shows a good product in all sections. This is confined to alfalfa and Johnson grass

 U. DC. Monument

Ashville, April -(special.)- )-The efforts of the ladies of the Ashville chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy are meeting with success for the erection of A monu- ment for the Confederate soldiers of St. Clair county.
 The appeals sent out are being an- swered with donations and the ladies feel quite sure the monument will be erected at an early date.
 Among those on the honor roll in being the first contributors are: Judge W. w. Brandon, who in mailing his check to Mrs, J. c. DuBois. the treas urer of the monument fund, stated he was glad to contribute.
 Other donations came from the Gadsden Times-News without solici- tion, this paper being widely inter- ested in the move. A former St. Clair citizen. President Willingham of the Florence Normal. also mailed his do- nation, as did Judge Woodson J. Mar tin, circuit judge, of Gadsden, and others.

was to enjoy day or two of vaca- tion.
 l lolled back in bed, propped up by couple of pillows.
 My mind reverted to my problems. Should l marry Theo-a celebrity and enjoy the life of ease and posi- tion he could offer me; or should I choose Eddie Montforth. and thus become the wife of man destined to become a prosperous country squire? As I weighed these ques- tons 1 was struck with the thought What has become of my ambitions for a career?"
 l dismissed that thought abruptly ---and turned again to Theo and Ed die.
 l knew that by all the dictates of common sense l should care more for Eddie Montforth than for Theodore Stratton. Eddie was of my own age and my own people. Eddie's out look upon life would harmonizc with mine. We would understand each other.
 And what had Theodore stratton to offer?
 I read and re-read Thco's impas- stoned letter. From 1t I got nothing nothing but selfish expression of his want of me.
 Theo wanted my youth to put new life into his blase existence.
 Theo wanted my fresh. unsophisti- cated view of life as a new starting point from which he could survey life anew. His letter was full of the hopes, desires and fears of Theodore Stratton.
 Several times I thought I had bet ter answer Theo's letter. But each time Kitty's wise counsel prevailed and I did not write I followed the code of movie -land-I put nothing upon paper.
 This decided upon I arose, dressed and breakfasted. After that l tried to read Firing of that I began fuss ing about my clothes. A girl in nov ing pictures spends most of her spare time freshening her wardrobe

ALABAMA SHIPPERS
 MAY AVOID HIGHER. FREIGHT CHARGES $.
State Commission Says Ship perS May Designate Route and Prevent Rates Under
 Meridian Decision
By FREp H. G0RMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age Herald 22I-f FIrrt National Bank Building

Montgomery. April So.--(Special(- Acting under the authority granted by the public service commission acts providing for service regulations, the public service commission has adopt ed a rule which gIves any shipper of nate the routes which the shipment shall go to it's designation. This an nouncement made by s. G. Pat terson. president of the public serv- ice commission, means little on it's face, but the real meaning is that a means probably has been found whereby many shippers may avoid the high freight rates on intrastate ship ments within the territory covered by the decision in the Meridian rate case.
 The decision in the Meridian rate case applies only to one-line hauis, It was not contemplated that any shipments carried over more than one railroad would be affected in any manner by the case. The railroads under this decision were given the right either to increase the intra- state rates in Alabama or decrease the interstate rates to Meridian from Ala bama points within a radius of 100 miles. The railroads chose to in- crease the intrastate rates. Since the high rates became effective many complaints have been received by the public service commission, but it has been powerless to grant relief by re- dueing the rates since the interstate commerce commission had the power to order the railroads to ignore the Alabama rates.
 Ship to Nearby Towns
 The first means of avoiding the ef- feet of the decision was by the trans portation Of freight to towns near the cities affected by the decision For instance. shipments intended for Tus- caloosa now go to Northport and are transported to Tuscaloosa by truck. Thousands of dollars will be saved during the course of a year by this method.
 The latest method of avoiding the decision is through the establish ment of the rule or service regulation b ythe commission Saturday which gives any shipper the right to desig- nate the route of his shipment. In view of the fact that the decision in the Meridian rate case does not af- feet two-line hauls and affects only railroads directly connected with the case, a town mentioned in the decision as having rates discriminatory to Me ridian may now ship goods to another point over the two lines. thus avoid ing the high rates established by the railroads.
 The establishment of the rule by the commission resulted from spe- cifc instance where a railroad refused to accept a shipment for two-line haul to Birmingham by way of Bes- semer. the agent insisting that a two line haul was not necessary since his railroad ran into Birmingham. If the shipment had gone over the one rail- road the Meridian rate scale would have applied When it went over two railroads the intrastate scale estab- llshed by the public service commits sion applied.

COAST SECTIONS
 GROWING POTATOES
Fifteen Thousand Acres Are Planted-CucumberS Also
 Being Raised

Montgomery. April 30.-(Special)- Alabama's coast section will have 15,000 acres of Irish potatoes for the market this year, according to the estimate made Saturday by F. w Gist, federal and state crop statis- tician, in his weekly summary of crop conditions Mir, Gist said 1t was thought two months ago the acreage of the coast counties, Including Mobile Baldwin, Escambia and Mon roe, would be 10000 acres but this has been raised to 15.ooo acres.
 Mir. Gist also estimated that Mo bile county alone will furnish 1900 cars of cabbage for the market this year, while upstate counties have planted large aereages which will be productive later in the year.
 Mir Gists weekly statement re- garding crop conditions follows,
 "A heavy increase in the com mercial acreage of Irish potatoes features the weekly statement of r. W. Gist, federal and state statisti- elan for agriculture, issued yester- day Two months ago the coast sec tion reported 10000 acres to this crop; at present this estimate has been raised to 5000. This Is three times the acreage of last year in the counties of Baldwin, Mobile, Es- cambia and Monroe. In addition to this early crop area, many small commercial sections have come into prominence this season. Notable among these are Conecuh, Geneva. Montgomery, and several points in the north part of the state. The crop in the south part is just getting ready to move. Fear was felt that the yield would be held down rather seri- ously by lack of moisture, but dur ing the week rain has been general. though uneven in volume, and it IS

 During the morning John Storm called on me. 'I wish you would 20 with me out to the studio where Kitty is making her picture" he said.
 It was interesting to note that al though Kitty was not playing the i'm. portant part John Storm never spoke of 1t except as her picture" looked at him compassionately John and Kitty's affair always seemed so much bigger than my own because l could see no loophoie whereby these two people-whom I loved so dearly and who were SO deserving of content-could slip through the cordons of society and find at least little of their share of human happiness.
 Do you have to go out this morn ing, John?"
 felt little sinking of my heart knew that Kitty would like to keep John storm and Julian Thorndyxa apart.
 "Yes. I'm needed there" he an swered.
 Are they going to take the church scenes over again?'' T don't know I only know that Kitty needs me. Virginia"
 Has she sent for you?"
 'No. dear" he answered patiently. But surely you must know, Virginia. how much I love Kitty
 But, John"
 "oh. yes. know. Virginia. I un- derstand how people will talk. But tell you" (his voice grew hard as steeD that if the world stands on one side and Kitty beckons from the other, I will go straight to her"
 l listened. fascinated by love so true, so steadfast. A poem sprang almost unconsciously to my lips: "I know not in the way that love is
 reckoned
 That this is love of the deepest dye. I know, too, if an angel beckoned Standing close to the throne on high And thou, adown by the gates infer Should open your arms and smile l would turn my back or things SUI
 pernal
 To rest On your breast little while"
 That is very true. Virginia But I didn't know modern girl could be so old-fashioned as to quote Ella Wheeler Wilcox to prove it."
 You must remember. John, that I am the product of another genera tion." I countered, as I put on my hat. Aunt Virginia had charge of my reading"
 From the moment John Storm seated himself in the roadster his one idea seemed to be speed It was as though his heart. his soul and every muscle in his body were pushing the motor to do it's utmost Fortunately we did not encounter any policemen We paid no atten- tion to the usual torn-up pavemcnts for which Los Angeles is famous and John took bumps and holes with ut ter unconcern. He seemed to feel as though he could not get to the studio fast enough. l knew his un- spoken fear and at last 1t assafled me so strongly that both of us almost literally held our breath until we drove up to the studio.
 After helping me out of the car John paid no atteE.-on to me but strode in through the gates, and | followed as fast as possible. Tomorrow-kItty's Aeting.
