The Penalty of Progress

The baseball park of long ago
 Was nothing much to see. Its flimsy wooden stand was like
 A soap box on the lea; It had a. dinky wooden fence,
 But it was dear to me. The ultra modern baseball park
 Is builded wondrous fair; With pillars wrought by sturdy steel It towers in the air. Its walls of brick are high and thick There are no knot-holes there.

Both Kinds Welcome (AnniStOn Starl

Anniston is becoming more and more of home-capitalized and h m e. operated manufacturing city, and it is one of the reasons why Anniston is making such splendid progress. This invest ment of home capital and the re- sulting activity of home men in industry does not in any way in- terfere with outside capital that has been invested here and it will not interfere with any outside capital that may seek investment here in the future. There is room for. both outside men and money, and we welcome both.

Wise Road Protection


 The decision of the Dallas coun- ty board of revenue to see that the road laws. both local and state. are rigidly and impartially enforced is one of the most i'm portant steps ever taken to aid in preserving the roads and to hold down the burdensome cost of thelr maintenance. The regula- uons and provisions recently amended to insure the better care of the Nroads are already having d wholesome effect in making it the business uf all users of th, roads to take an interest in their akeep.

The Spilled Beans


 The relief expeditioners in their sturdy airplane mile high circled over the Island of Starvation.
 With willing hands they dumped a sack of beans over the side.
 Owing to the force of gravity, the sack descended.
 Owing to the same force, the sack burst open and spilled the beans all over the island.
 "Now," they said, Eff the starving inhabitants can only hold out until next August, the beans will grow"
 Whereupon they went away from there.

ing to roofs, and partially replant the
plants in an upright position, plac .ng
them closely together, in n cool cellar.
The soil or sand in which the roots are

watering. In watering do not wet the

ventilated and the temperature just
above freezing, if possible.
Trench Storage-Dig trench in the
field about / foot wide, deep enough
SO that tops of plants come to the sur
face OF the ground, and as long as
necessary. Set the plants, which should
be dug with good portion of root

possible in this trench, and water the
soil around the roots, being careful
not to wet the tops. Nal two planks

weather, ventilate by putting blocks
under trough during warm weather. As
the weather gets colder, put on straw,

quantities to prevent plants from
freezing. When a portion of the celery
is removed it is best to do ii when the
outside temperature is above the freez.
