ALL FOR BRANDON

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Judge W. w. Brandon, Mir. Doty, his state manager, passed through Columbiana Monday en route to east Alabama. Judge Brandon was met at the local hotel here by number of his friends from different parts of the least 95 per cent of the vote cast in the pri- mary.
 have been within the last few months in several different counties of the state in mid dle and east Alabama, and every one that have met have estimated Brandon's vote in the different counties have been in from S5 per cent to unanimous. Not that Col. Bibb Graves hasn't any friends in these counties, but the people have made up their minds that Bill Brandon is to be governor.
 Three days after the last primary, when Brandon was defeated, the question of the next governor of Alabama was settled. can't figure out how Colonel Graves expects to have chance when 45 men out of every 90 you meet are outspoken for Brandon. It is not that the people are especially against Graves, but they are just simply for Brandon.
 It is Judge Brandons popularity through out of the state that settled this question four years ago. It is Brandon and McDowell throughout this section of the country and it will be that way on the day of the primary
 I feel for one that the people should not try to mislead any candidate, but just tell them the truth as it exists, then if the candi- date wants to but up against brick wall it is nobody's fault but his own. Yours very truly, JOHN J. HAYNES

FAvoRs BOYS TRADES SCHOOL

Ut seems to me that the Ragland school drive that is being carried on throughout the state and by the Exchange club should not be stopped until the entire $3o,ooo has been raised,' said Judge Hugh A. Locke.
 No question of doubt should be involved but a continual hammering for the fund until it is raised. The money can be raised, for there plenty of organizations ready to take up the -rork if one should fall down on the job."

HARD TIMES MAKE GOOD FARMERS

From Farm Life.
 Director Kendall of New Hampshire agricul- tural extension work, calls our attention to the fact that TIA communities in his state have drawn up definite programs for better farm ing, and 300 farm men and women are doing committee work to that these programs are carried out. The projects include dairy improvement, poultry management, lime and legume. gardening, orcharding, certified seed, cooperative buying and selling, home improve ment, etc. What is being done in New Hamp- shirt is being done to greater or less degree in every state, and perhaps in every county, in the nation. The effect of all this will be in- calculable, and we may expect our national agriculture to be the most efficient of all our great industries within short time. The fact that the farmers have been driven by hard times into scientific management may be un- fortunate. but the results will be all to the good

SALE OF LIQUOR ON SHIPS AROUSES BREWERS IRE

A letter written by August A. Busch, pres- dent of the Anheuser- Busch company, has been forwarded to President Harding, charg- ing that America is ''the biggest bootlegging country in the world7
 MT. Busch was a passenger on a liner op- erated by the United States shipping board, where liquid refreshments were varied and plentiful. He says the shipping board vessels fare the wettest on the l learn that passages on these ships have been sold with a money-back guarantee that the sale of in- toxicating liquors will be thrown open as they pass the three-nnile coast line"
 It is admitted that liquor is sold on vessels operated by the shipping board outside the American passenger ships, at least in the transatlantic trade, cannot compete with for eign-owned vessels if they are dry. Mir. Busch makes out rather strong case against the government and shows the inconsistency of prohibition enforcement. Technically, at any rate, the shipping board violates the prohibit ton law, no matter what excuse may be made for the practice of serving liquor after ships leave American waters.
 MT. Busch is, of course, arguing from wet point of view, and being himself at the head of one of the largest brewing concerns in the world, which has been compelled to obey the law, he naturally feels resentment when he sees it violated on the high seas, but his in- dignation will not convince the prohibitionists impractical. If they arc ever convinced, it will not be done by any of our eminent brewers. A husband and father was sentenced to jail for 80 days for violating the prohibition law. His wife, a baby in her arms, rushed out of court after telling the judge to take care of her other five children. That woman succeed ed in making the law an ass.

BIRMINGHAM WEATHER FINE

"We can at least take comfort by remem- bering that the heat is nothing like so severe here as up east" said I. R. Rubenstein, lccal jeweler, land funny thing about it is that every customer that comes here has the pre- conceived idea that because it is the south it is scorching hot.
 "They come into town complaining of the heat, which reminds me of the joke about the Chicago man who had heard so much about the Kentucky feuds and shooting scrapes that he thought that was the chief occupation of all Kentuckians.

 'It happened that on reaching Louisville street brawl was in progress near the depot and the salesman was grazed by stray bullet. He sent his boss the following wire, Arrived Louisville 920, shot at 9:30, leaving at 40."
