ALABAMA FARM BUREAU
MARKETS WATERMELONS

By means of organization and CO.
operation the farmers of Alabama are
now talking in big numbers and deal
ing in big quantities, as demonstrated
by the Alabama Farm Bureau Water
melon association.
Early in the spring, when this asso-
citation was organized with 1000 grow
ers in 81 communities and 10 counties,
representing 5000 acres, one of the
first acts of the board of directors was
to place an order for 100000 labels,
one of them to be stuck on each mel
on. A special paste is necessary for
this purpose and 200 gallons, of it
were bought by the association. In
addition it was necessary to buy $50
gallons of paste to treat stems to pre-
vent stem-end rot.
During it's first month of actually
marketing melons this association sold
$50 cars. in $50 cities in II states and
Canada The states in which the
Farm Bureau melons, each bearing the
Alabama Sweetheart" label, were
sold are New York, Pennsylvania
Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississip
pi, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Neb
raska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
North Dakota, Michigan, Illinois, In
diana and Toronto, Ontario, Canada
1t is a striking fact that business il
such quantities has been transacted By
sales manager, traffic manager
and two stenographers in the stat'
eoffice.

General Sawyer's Mishaps

Custom prescribes that President of
the United States shall have per
sonl physician" but laws-of which
we have so many, provide San appro-
priation therefor" In consequence the
President always brings along his fam
lily doctor and has him made a "Ma-
jor," or something else in the Army,
and assigned to the particular job
of looking after the health Of the in
mates of the White House. 1t seems
a ridiculous performance never the less
that is the way it is always done.
President Harding went his predecess-
ors one-better and when the medico
from his old-home town got into his
army clothes his shoulder-straps show
ed him to be a General" explana-
ton of his advancement over his pre-
ldecessors it was announced that Gen
era1 Sawyer had been delegated special
powers with regard to the public
health. He made chief-coordinato OF

But the Generals day-dream has been
ruthlessly disturbed by the demands
of many representative members Of
the American Legion that he stand
aside" 1t is claimed That General
Sawyer has prevented the program
of the Veterans Bureau from going
into effect, and letters assailing him
indicate that he has not a proper ap.
probation of the physical and menta
remedies that should be applied ir
caring for the men whose lives were
wrecked by the war.

Matchmaking The Mines

A good many people in discussing
the coal stlike are inclined to advance
the theory of Matchmaking the
mines with about the same freedom
of thought they exerise regaring the
changing of tire. They recognize the
fact that there has been an industrial
blowout" and seize upon what they
think is a simple remedy. In wartime
we had number of illustrations of the
results of Matchmaking" our indust-
ries. The Wilson Administration drop
ped the experiments at the earliest
opportunity. They were hot potatoes,
and before they burned away the pol
itical majorities of the party in power.
Senaor Borah has introduced bill
establishing coal commission. These
will doubtless be an Investigation" by
the Senate, as well. These are always
auxiliary movements that grow out
of coal strikes. These meaures can
have nothing to offer with reference
to the immediate conditions effecting
the country's coal.
! President Harding called upon the
Governors of coal-mining States to
use their whole resources to protect
those who would work in the coal
mines. The head of the United Mine
Workers says that not a single union
miner has been forced to return to
work by the assembling and parad-
ing of engines of war" The resourse-
full leader, Mr.. John l.. LAWS, has
insisted that the settlement of the
strike must be general and not b,
districts as the operators desire. Such
settlement would be the complete
triumph of unionism in the Goa
fields, Heretofore the patched" peac,
that has brought hostilites to a clos,
has been made on a basis that lief
only parts of the fields unionized
The coal operators and their employ
ers the issue narrows down to a ques
ton as to whether or not the whole
coal mining industry will be unionizec

FARM SHOWS
SYSTEM OF CROP ROTATION

In Thayer county, Nebr., the county
agent wished to show to as many
farmers of the county as possible
system of crop rotation adapted to
their needs. He selected the county
fair as an opportunity of meeting per-
haps the largest number of farmers
at any one. Securing from the fair
board 7-foot square space in a prom
inent part of the fair grounds, he laid
off on it miniature farm with fields
in proportion to the 7-foot space.
Corn, oats, and wheat were sown in
the fields in time to be growing nice
ly when the fair opened; limitation
trees were placed to show the loca-
ton of the orchard, and small models
of farm buildings added. Over Is
900 persons visited the tiny farm dur
ing the fair, studying the plan and ask.
ing questions about the rotation sys-
tenn.

STATES GET WAR MATERIALS

Surplus war material valued at
$13o, 1926 was delivered to the states
for use in road construction up to
July /, reports the bureau of public
roads, United States department agri-
culture. The material, which consist
ed of all sorts of supplies and equip

which the war department had no
further need, was distributed on the
same basis as monetary federal aid.
In value of material delivered, Tex
as and New York lead with nearly
S., 100000 worth of material, and ev-
cry state with the exception OF hive OF
the smaller ones received supplies val

Key to Egyptian Hierosiyphics.

The Rosetta stone, one of the most
celebrated archaeological discoveries Of
modern times, is famous for being the
key whereby the decipherment of the
Egyptian hiesoglyphics was made pos
sible. II was found in 1889 near Ros-
eta, Egypt, by an officer of engineers
in the French army, which was then
In occupation Of that country.
The stone is a slab of black basalt,
and bears an inscription in honor of
Ptolemy Epiphanes, written in three
2Haees-Greek, demotic and hero
glynh;c. IS the three inscriptions are
of identical significance. the Greek
made easy the deciphering of the
others.
Until the discovery Of the stone
archeologists had no key to Egyp-
tian hieroglyphics, but since that
time all of Egypt's sculptured litera-
ture has been read with ease and
much valuable information given to
the world.

The women of Ceylon do not bow

that the majority of women asked in

stronghold Of the Singalese rulers.
Portuguese and Dutch tried In VAN

in vain assaults. For 90 years after

Poets of the Sea.

It seems that the sea is an Anglo
Saxon heritage. English literature re-
fleets it, and it's moods have ever been
portrayed in English verse. To the
North, the Scottish bards sang of their
own wild headlands and skerries, to
the South, the Devons followed Drake
and Frobisher to the Seven Seas.
Surprisingly, some Of the worlds
greatest poems are epics of open wa
ter. The Odyssey. for instance, and
the Aeneid. In those days, Greece
and Rome were the m2";time nations
of the earth, and their romance of
conquest and CT commerce found
ready expression IL their literature.
Nowadays, the Anglo-Saxons hold the
shipping of the seas, and sea songs
seem as inevitable to English poets
and to some Americans-as roman
tic rondelS and sonnets did to the
old Gallo school.-Christian Science

FINGER PRINTS NEVER CHANGE
Not Even the Smallest Variation Takes
Place From Infancy to Ex-
treme Old Age.

The use Of finger prints as a means
Of identification was first made prac-
tical and put into operation by Sir
William Herschel Of the Indian civil
service in the police department Of
Bengal. The lineations Of the thumb
and fiagers have, however, attracted
the attention Of scientists for at least
a century.
The ridges and patterns are Of four
primary types. First, arches, in which
the ridges run from one side to the
other, but make no backward turn !;
second, loops, in which some Of the
ridges make a backward turn but
are devoid of twists; third, whirls,
In which some of the ridges make 4
turn through at least one complete
circuit; and fourth, composite. where
two Or more of the first three patterns
are combined in the same imprint.
It has been demonstrated that these
designs persist unchanged in the small
est detail throughout the individuals
life, and that there are no two per-
cons whose imprints are identical. The
design on the fingers of newborn
infant are easily recognizable in the
same person in old age.
