By Associated Press

Fort Yellowstone. Wyo. July s.-- 2 The experience of being marooned 10000 feet in the air in an intense snowstorm in July is altogether en- Joyable. Mrs. Percy Rockefeller and other members of her party told Hor- ace N. Albright, superintendent or Yellowstone National park, today be- fore leaving for Bozeman, Mont.

Vietch of Seattle, were caught near the top of Mt. Washburn by a sudden blizzard.
 Mir. Albright said that the party was at no time in bodily danger. The mercury registered 25 degrees above zero and a fire made by the party in 8 stone lookout station used by for esI rangers kept the tourists warm.

value of nursery products and how does Alabama stand? N. A., R. F. D., Gndsden.
 A. The leading states are Texas, California. New York, Iowa and Ill., inois. Others are close competitors and at present. doubtless outrank some of the above. Alabama. like some of her political aspirants. is in the class of "also ran"
 Q. The clover on my lawn Is turn ing a reddish brown. It seems to be a disease. Do you reckon it Is, and what could I put on 1t to destroy Mrs. T.
 A. Others are reporting the same trouble and an examination shows t to be the clover mite, related species to red spider. A spray of whale oil soap, one poundfto ten gal Ions of water. will destroy. Dustine with equal parts of sulphur and air slaked or hydrated lime is also ef- fective. This pest is also destructive to most all fruit trees and should be destroyed.
 Q. Would it do to put the bean bug poison vaycide eal-sulphur on COW peas tHdL are BIOWln6 1OI nay C. O., Attalla.
 A. There would be no danger ir applying providing applications were left off long enough before cutting to permit rains to wash off the poison. The material is not soluble in water and is easily washed off.
 o. I am fixing to plant rutabaga for market but I forget what you said about distance. Several of us would like to have you restate this? O. L.. Fort Payne.
 A Rows should be only wide enough to admit of horse cultivation Plants in drills must be thinned promptly to about eight inches.
 Q. If I set out the old fashion shaliot onions this month will they get big enough to sell by Christmas G. G.. Route 3.
 A. Yes, If soil Is rich and ire quently worked. they will begin to get large enough to sell but of course don't have time to multiply as much as they would if given longer time.
 0. I have some of the white Mc- Cas1on pole bean. would these do to plant in corn and will they mature , Mrs. R.. Dadeville.
 A. Yes, they will produce in corn where 1t Is not too thick. On poles they would bear in 55 to 60 days, but require a few days longer when planted in corn.
 e. When do you plant English peas for fall crop? Mrs. B. N., Ensley.
 A. August Is generally early enough because peas like cool weather and the early sorts only re- quire 45 to 50 days to come into bearing and they will stand a good deal of frost without injury.
 0. How would it do to plant the winter Savoy cabbage right in the drill where you want them to stand and thin out? Would they head Fl. S., Oneonta.
 A. It Is often done with good e. suits. Rich soil and frequent cul- tivation is the main thing.

 SUNDAY QUESTION
Benefits of Christian Day of Rest Are Outlined by the
 Speaker

The Sunday question was the theme of a sermon of interest de- livered yesterday morning by Or. James E. billiard, pastor of the Seuthside Baptist church. Dr. Dll- lard took for his text Jesus words: "The Sabbath made for man." and said in part;
 "Thouehtless people have looked upon these words as giving the ri gk | to utterly disregard the observance of the Sabbath day. But they are of far deeper significance. They base the observance of the law in a funda mental necessity. All of Gods laws are based upon human needs; they are all good Suppose everybody , kept the laws of God. what good world this would bel Suppose on the other hand that everybody tried to break the laws in the decalogue, what hell We would havei
 "Scientists by delicate tests have Demonstrated the physical necessity of a day of rest following six days of work The French nation after the revolution decided to observe one day of rest in ten; but they quickly discovered that the proportion was wrong and went back to the original plan. It was discovered that horses driven to street cars did better work and lasted longer by giving them the rest day.
 "Pioneers crossing the plains in the early days found it best to rest their teams on Sunday. The English com mission on the welfare of munitions workers recommended the day of rest. Secretary Daniels said: The world has learned in the war that Sabbath observance is not only & Christian duty but an economic necessity
 Now, the state has a right to pro- teet it's economic interests, and since it has found that Sabbath observance is an economic necessity it has Il right to make and enforce, laws gov erning the opening or closing of bus mess on Sunday.
 "The first and most important of all institutions is the home. Any thing that helps the home should be encouraged and anything that ie stroys the home life should be dis couraged. Men must work. Hours are often long from necessity. When the days work is done people are tired, at least some are. Now, a day set apart as a day of rest from tue usual employment means much to the home life The children need to spend the day with their parents, and vice versa. The Sabbath should be observed for the good of the home.

 Thinking of Operator
 T never go to show without having half my attention on the screen and the other half coelcerned with the fellow who Is unseen in the operators box. In his little room, surrounded with machinery, he is do- ing all in his power to keep a nice clear picture 5on the screen and everg- thing chiming along in perfect se- quenee and harmony.
 "There are few persons who realize the responsibility of an operator. Not only must he run his machine, out he must take care of an emergency. If something happens. everybody picks him as the target of attack. They depend on him to come through anything, though, which he usually does.
 Hand Work
 "In the olden days the picture ma chimes were run by hand. Now mo- tors are used. I was just thinking the other day about some of those old operators-Birming first. Hundreds of people knew them. There were Frank Heck, Walter Cox, Lee Dishroon, Dan Waynewright,

of worship. Every civilization has been built upon some religion, and when 8 nation loses faith in its re- lIgion that nation decays unless some other and better religion takes Its place. Christianity lies at the very foundation of our nation. The early settlers and those who laid the foundations of our present greatness were moved by religious motives.
 But religion demands an institu- ton just as education demands a school. Hence the demand for the churches. But if our churches are to be maintained and function at their best there must be one day when the people can go and worship without the hindrances of business and daily cares Hence there should be day set apart that will give to all the privilege of worship and religious eo- ucation.
 "Certainly no one will argue that people should be forced to go to church or forced to worship, but they ought to be given the privilege and

 There's man in this town who can talk to you by the hour about the old-time picture days in Bir- mingham.
 For he was one of the very first operators here. In fact he was the second movie operator ever employed at the Theatorium, Birmingham, 8 first picture show house.
 Ills name is C. M HlItbruner. These days he Is no longer connected with the business, but he does not forget the thrills of pioneering.
 The machines we used were the old Edison, two pin type. Instea i of having the film rswind Itself, as at present. We had to run it into a sack or tin box. Every now and then we'd strike snag or have "blow- out-and then how the audience would rave and stamp while we would sweat, in our little box, to get the film pasted up, or working again.
 Short Pictures
 Nowadays. We have pictures con- sfstfng os from 5000 to 5000 film feet But, in the old days. the long est pictures were 2,o00 feet, and very seldom We had those.
 The first show-the Theat torium-- was on Twentieth street, south. This was built to accommodate both whtte and coiorcd patrons. The screen was placed in the middle of the house. The white. patrons would enter frora the right side, and be seated in the front part of the theatre, while tho colored were escorted down side aisle which was partitioned off from the whites to the back of the screen, There they could view the picture as well as the ones in the front of the house-the' only difference being that all of the announcement titles read backwards"
 Illustrated Songs
 Anybody here remember the very highly illustrated songS-all done in flaming pinks. yellows, white or pas- tel shades? The young lady sweet heart in the case--very often Us graceful as 6 sea lion-climbed into the old cherry tree and wei shted down the first sturdy limb. while her beau--slender and wearing white trousers--stood knee deep in calia lilies. strained back his head to look up. and almost teetered over while he gave her that gone" look.
