 the variety edulls Alperba is one of the few successful varieties locally | grown. It is deep pink, uniform | in color, large, rather loose and flat when fully opened and very fragrant. It is one of the best sorts and has been renamed and sold at high prices

ANNOUNCE ALABAMA
 PRISON STATISTICS

Washington, November e.-(spe- cial.)-The department of commerce announces that, according to returns received by the bureau of the census, the number of persons confined in prisons, jails, chain or road gangs, and police stations in the state of Alabama on July 1. 1922, was 4,991, of which number 3,084 were reported for the state penitentiary. sos for 61 county jails, S32 for 15 chain or road gangs. and 266 for 23 cities. The total for July l. 1917. does not include chain or road gangs, con cernins which no data were secured for 1917. The comparable totals for the two years are, therefore. 4.159; t1917.3 3,S73. These figures include persons awaiting hearing or trial and those held as witnesses. as well as prisoners serving sentence.
 The returns were obtained in re- sponse to circular of inquiry which the bureau of the census mailed to the various institutions. as pre- liminary to the complete decenni9l census of prisonery. which will De taken next year.

Overdoing EertiItxing
 Some people act on the theory that If little does good, much more will naturally do better and they will apply this principle where judgment and common sense should lead to a a different conclusion.
 As the time approaches in which great quantities of trees and shrub bery will be planted it is well to eau ton the planter about some funda- mentals in fertilizing.
 In transplanting trees and shrub bery, there is sometimes a disposi- tion, accentuated by an eager desire for quick results, to over fertilize. Any plant which has just been trans planted has suffered severe shock to It's root system, is generally in a dormant condition, denuded of foliage and is in no condition to utilize any great quantity of food. Like a sick person, it must be supplied with food as it can readily take up through it's root system.
 It should be remembered that live foliage or leaves are essential for a plant to digest the food supplied and to overfeed is like gorging the con valescing sick. Highly stimulating and quick acting fertilizers should Tot go under newly set plants. Such fertilizers as bone meal, leaf mold and old animal manure may be used in moderation. After the tree or plant recovers and is growing active ly then you may feed 1t as often as needed.

ALL IN A DAYS WORK.
Observation-Disclosures

From Locomotive Engineers Journal
Two weeks ago eastern. papers
made a spectacular display of the fact
that Engineer John j. Cotter of Jer-
sey City, by great presence of mind
a seventeen months old child from
death beneath the wheels of his loco
motive The child had wandered from
home and stumbled across the rails
just as Cotter's train pulled into the
yards. He applied the emergency i'm
mediately, but saw that the train
would not stop in time to save the
child; so he left his cab, ran along the
running board, sprang down on the
cowcatcher and snatched up the child
an instant before she would have been
crushed beneath the wheels. Cotter
returned the babe to its frantic moth
er, climbed back into his cab, and pro-
ceeded with his train to Jersey City
as if nothing had happened.
We do not see why the papers
should become excited over an act OF
this kind. 1t may have been a bit
more spectacular, but it is no more
heroic than the duties of thousands OF
engineers who display presence OF
mind, clear thought and quick action
every moment that they are on duty
Engineers have to think quickly and
act decisively in times of danger. II
is all in a days work.
What we most like about the Cotter
incident is the matter-of-fact way in
which he climbed back into his cab
and proceeded with his run. He did
not wait for committee TO bestow a
bouquet of flowers or a Carnegie
medal upon him. Ii was enough fol
him to know that he had done his
duty.
We trust that newspaper editors
viii remember these facts when next
the big bankers behina the railroads
raise cry to beat down engineers
wages. The right kind of men cannot
be secured for the exacting duties Of
an engineer if they are to be eontin-
ually bounded by assaults upon the
decent standard of living they have
earned.

The Bonus Bumpers.

Judge Gary, head of the Steel Trust
says 'if a bonus is paid it should be
betrayed by a sales tax"
The big interests which coined
money during the war have spasn
of economy whenever the soldier bo-
nus is mentioned--unless it is to be
paid with sales tax by the soldiers
and the people who bore the full
brunt of the war and who still are
bearing most of its burdens.
Opposition to the bonus has come
all along from the war-enriched prof.
teers. They don't want it If they
must pay for it. But they are for i
if the people can be induced to pay il
with sales tax which would give the
vested interests bonus.

Roger Babson, the new press agent
Of high finance, blames the high cost
of living on the consumers and work.
ers as a whole. He charges that the
people try to get by with as little
work as possible and consequently
make distribution, especially, many
times more expensive. He does not say
anything about the usury vampire
that levies tribute of interest on
every productive and distributive
move that is made in business. Bonds
of governments, of corporations and
and mortgages of business men,
farmers and home-owners Is an ever
increasing devouring charge that in
the last instance is passed over to the
consumer. This is the real cause of
high prices.
