EUSTIS, Florida a-The old theory
that two families cannot live amicably
under one roof has been exploded and
one of the "exploders" is newspaper
publisher of this city. A. ID. Miller
publisher and editor of the Eustis Lake
region. and his brother c. o. Miller, To-
cal merchant. for nearly quarter CEN
tury have been living in the same house
with their families and have followed
business methods unique in this day
and time.
Twenty-three years ago the Miller
brothers, then residents of kentucky,
their native state, married sisters and
established their home together. They
pooled their business interests and all
these years each has regarded the 9TH
er as owning an equal share OF what ne
possesses. They keep joint bank
account, ID" owns an equal share in
the two prosperous mercantile concerns
operated by &C. D." and &C. ID. owns
half of the Lake Region Publishing
Company. Even their home is entered
on the tax rolls as belonging to them
jointly. bill contracted by one broth
er is paid by the other, if he receives
il first.
The brothers and their families, al
though they have made several moves
since their marriages, have never sep
arated, for where one has gone the
other has accompanied him. They came
to Eustis several years ago from Rich
mond, KY.

FEW FREIGHTERS IN
SHAPE FOR TRAFFIC

TOLEDO, O.-Ship owners are going
slowly about fitting out their boats
here this spring. say officials Of the
Great Lakes Towing company. Few OF
The 404 freighters that were laid up
here for the winter have been put In
shape for the opening OF the naviga-
ton season
The delay in refitting these vessels
is ascribed to the uncertainty as TO
whether they will be greatly in demand
as carriers, due to industrial conditions
and the coal situation in particular
The crowded condition OF the docks
along the river will not allow the ad
dition of more than few loaded boats
AT present there are l6 loaded vessels
moored at the four docks available,
leaving little room for the others to
tie up.

INTERESTED IN AUBURN

q am greatly interested in the success of the Greater Auburn campaign" said Gen. Robert E. Noble.
 T know of the good work the institution has done, and feel that it is deserving of the support of all the people of the south. While l have been away from Alabama and Auburn for many years have always been interested and have kept in touch fairly we'll with the situation.
 q know of the record Auburn has made and of the high regard in which the institution and it's graduates are held throughout the United States The largest corporations of the country are always glad to get Auburn trained men, and even in many foreign coun- fries Auburn men have taken the lead in great development projects. 1 know that the United States government has used many Auburn men, and especially does the government rank Au- burn the vital factor in the agricultural de- velopment of Alabama.
 q recently had occasion to look up the figures showing the per capita appropriations which the various states give to their agricul- tural and mechanical colleges, and I found tha. Auburn received far less than any similar inst- tuition in the country"

partments. The proposal of MT. Kahn will not meet with favor. It looks too much like another attempt to 'pass the buck"
 It is doubtless true that Congress is averse to making further appropriations for Muscle Shoals, and there are some legal tangles Nto be strengthened out, but the matter is squarely up to Congress. No equivocation, no attempt to dodge the issue~vvill be tolerated. If anything of this'sort is attempted those members of Con- gross who are keeping an uneasy eye on the agricultural vote will repent that they didn't show more backbone. Resentment will be ex- pressed at the polls.
 While there are times when Congress shows a woeful lack of intelligence in transacting the nations business, the Muscle Shoals question is not too complicated for it to settle, and settle right. There is no lack of information about Muscle Shoals. Any congressman with average intelligence who care to do so can learn all he needs to know about the govern ments property in Alabama and the merits of the bids that have been offered.
 There is no reason why Congress should dele gate the task to cabinet officers except it's un- willingness to shoulder the responsibility.

DRASTIC DEFLATION IN IRON
 AND STEEL PRICES

\ The deflation process has been nowhere more drastic than in pig iron and steel. There is precious little left of the price imitation that marked the war period. They have been liqui- dated more thoroughly than any other manu- featuring industries.
 The Iron Age, high authority on this sub ject, says: "As direct measure of liquidation of the 1920 peak excess over the pre-war av- craze, it is found that in finished steel S6 per cent of the excess has been wiped off. Similar ly, for pig iron, 92 S5 per cent of excess has been wiped off. Taking the two together, therefore, the progress of liquidation in the iron and steel industry may be stated roughly at 90 per cent"
 This leads the Iron Age to conclude: "Aside from agricultural products it is doubtful if any major industry can show a liquidation even approaching this" It follows that iron and steel should not be expected to be def1ated much further, if at all. Indeed, indications point rather to strengthening of most iron and steel prices, based on the assumption that they have receded to the limit of possible profit in the operation of plants.
 Finished steel is now only 1S.7 per cent above the pre-war price and pig iron only l4.6 per cent. Cotton middling was quoted in New York last week at 1850, which com pares with 13. 25 in July, 1914. So, it seems, current iron and steel prices more in ac- cord with pre-war prices than is cotton.
 Wheat sold last week at $1 S4, compared with 9s cents in July, 1914, and corn sold at 7a cents compared with 76 cents in July, 1914, The price of oats last week was 50 cents, com pared with Al cents in July, 1914. It appears that iron and steel have been deflated consid- erabIy more than variety of farm products.

 The beautiful girl remained seated and made no reply.
 "Then I have scheme to bring peace and happiness to the world" he continued.
 She still remained seated.
 'Tn order to carry out out this scheme needed money" he went on, "so l played the market and won over a million"
 She jumped up and fell into his arms.

MIR. JEFFRIES ASPIRES TO BE AN EVANGELIST

Although some of the ministerial brethren of Los Angeles do not take kindly to James J. .Jeffries in the role of an evangelist, and par ticularly object to his tolerant views on re- ligtous subjects, Billy Sunday thinks the former champion puglst would 'knock the devil out of sinners" Billy doesn't quite agree withNJim chat there is no harm in a little beer and wine, or tobacco and bit of profanity when the occasion warrants, but he doesn't doubt that some tobacco users will eventually get to heaven.
 Mr. Sunday having been a baseball star his younger days it is natural for him to be- lieve that pugilist who rose to the top of his profession would be worthy laborer in the vineyard where his straight arm jabs and swift uppercuts would be expected to send Satan down for the count of 10.
 MT. Jeffries' ideas of religion are trifle hay, if we are to judge from newspaper re- ports, but he seems to regard sinners more with sorrow than anger, and there is latitude in his opinions that does not coincide with the Puritan conception of piety In fact, he goes further in that respect than most of the preach CTS who are now holding down pulpits and ex- orting the throngs to Init the sawdust trail"
 Apart from these considerations, if MT. lief fries mental processes are as slow and his command of language as uncertain they were when he was making his memorable tour in "Davy Crockett" he will not be formidable rival to Billy Sunday.

SAYS ROAD PLANS CHANGED

"At the meeting of the board of revenue last Friday delegation, led by F. A. Hewitt, ap- peared to protest against any contemplated plan to drop the building of scenic highway from the Montgomery highway to Aldrich Villa from the tentative county program said Capt. Lacey Edmondson.
 "The objection raised was based on the ar gument that this road was included. in the plan of road construction when the TS5, 100000 road issue voted upon, and that the county should stick to it. But I would like to say that several roads have been dropped from the pro- gram outlined when the bond issue was voted upon. Some of the roads left out Besse- mer to Morgan, Bessemer to Pleasant Hill, Bessemer to Taylor's Ferry, Fairfield to Pow derly, Pratt City to Republic, Adamsville 10 the county line and Fulton to the county line"

ALABAMA POWER EMpLoYEs

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 On March 1 an employe of the Alabama Power company was kind enough to tell us through you how much good that company is doing the state of Alabama and the com munity.
 It is not doubted or disputed that the Ala bama Power company pays its employees prac- tcally the same amount of money for labor or services that any other corporation or in- dividual would pay for like services or labor It is well known that other corporations and individuals in this state give to their em ployes free insurance, bonus and vacation. In addition to this some concerns in this state even allow their employees to share in the profits earned. If the Alabama Power company does this no mention was made of it.
 This company is doing no more for its em- ployes than it should do and must do to meet the competition of other concerns.
 If the Alabama Power company paid taxes as it should our schools would not, be so short on funds. The state would be much better off financially. The Alabama Power company should carry it's share of the burdens of this state equally with the humble citizen. Why make an exception?
 In recent letter to the editor, George Will knson, an employe of the Alabama Power com- pany, eulogized the Alabama Power company as being 'the farest and squarest organization in this state" That statement is rather broad. MT. Wilkinson should have added. "It is the fairest and squarest organization in this state as far as he knows"
 It will be much better if the employees of the Alabama Power company do not write the general public such encouraging letters. Those of us who are familiar with the tactics of this flair and square" corporation only look on such letters as propaganda fostered by the Alabama Power company. Yours very truly,
 w. M. SCOTT.

A MARCH PASTEL

By Clinton Scollard.
 Pellucid pools in pastures lie, And mirror the blue depths of sky Where the white clouds go racing by. There is stirring of fern fronds Beneath the moss, and by the ponds \ Brighten the dull gold willow wands. The lichens glint, the sod suspires; Glimmers hint of coming fires Upon the tips of tangled briers. One hears crow clamor from afar, And when night falls, bar after bar, The starlings twitter to the star. And everywhere are whisperings On upland slopes, by lowland springs, Of lovely and of lovelier things.

CYRIL MAN KILLS AN
EAGLE NEAR LAWTON


CYRIL.-Harry Ladder, w. w Coop
er J. c. Burton and f.. A. Stewart,
hcd themselves to Medicine Lake in
quest Of the "feathery tribe" com
monty known as ducks, which haunt
the lakes and woodland streams OF
Oklahoma in large numbers, about this
time of year.
On this particualr day the aforesaid
parties had pretty good luck, bagging
number of ducks About II O'Clock in
the morning they started home with
their kill, driving leisurely along the
mountain road enjoying the scenery.
While passing through the gap west
of Apache. an unusually large bird was
sighted by the hunters, soaring high
above the cliffs of the mountain. The
bird at first was taken for a large
chicken hawk Several shots were fired
at said bird by Burton, without re.
suits; soon it glided to a lower altitude.
Cooper then emptied his automatic
shotgun at the bird, and made several
direct hits, and it dropped to the
ground rddled with shot.
This bird of prey. proved to be q
full grown American eagle. its wings
measuring six feet from tip TO tip,
and tipped the scales at fifteen pounds.
Its falcons measured seven inches
across
Cooper brought the trophy Of the
hunt home with him, but was unable to
have it stuffed and mounted on ac-
count of its skin being SO badly torn
with shot.
