OVER THE TOP TopAYl

Today, with much of the task un- completed, Birmingham enters upon the last lap of the drive to fill the Community Chest. The committees have worked hard and faithfully in this public service. Many of them are business people who have made sacri- flee of time and effort fully equal to their own contribution of cash. Thus those who have been canvassing the community in this cause of associated charities have given doubly to it. Those whose only task is to contribute as much as they may should contribute promptly and cheerfully in order that the time the committees might other wise spend in argument can be more profitably devoted to additional in- terviews.
 The Community Chest represents q total of thirty-two separate charities and charitable institutions. The funds collected will be given an equitable distribution. If any donor desires his money to go to specific charity, he needs only so to stipulate and the money will go as he designates. There lis no plausible argument against the manner in which the fund is to be administered, for the result will be a total of greater good accomplished and more deserving cases reached than has been the case under the former pro- gram of miscellaneous giving and in- numerable charity calls.
 Today is the day for Birmingham to go over the top. Birmingham can do it without missing the money, if all will give in proportion to their means. There is no effort made to induce the man who can afford one dollar to give two. Many person who gives fifty cents will be practicing more self denial than some who give five hun dred The main thing is to have team work on the part of all the people. Nobody knows but that when he con- tributes to the fund he is contributing some ultimate benefit to some future unfortunate of his own kith and kin. No one knows when calamity may come upon one. Therefore, contri- button to the Community Chest is in- surance against deprivation, if the dark day ever comes, as come it must into the lives of some people.

BOBWHITE AS ALLY
(charleston News and Courier)

(CharIeston News and Courier)
 Nobody with any sense of the practical wants to prohibit the shooting of Bobwhites, quail, or cartridges, as they are variously called. In the first place, any proposal of that sort would 1m- mediately arouse the antagenism and opposition of the whole body of sportsmen, and the sportsmen are the men above all others to whom we must look for the en- actment of good laws and the pre- servation of game. But while no practical man wants to prohibit the shooting of Bobwhites, every practical man should desire to pre- vent the shooting of them in such numbers as to bring about their extermination. Certainly the sportsmen are interested in pre- venting that from happening; and the farmers and the public should back up the sportsmen in their efforts along this line.
 Professor Robert Ridgway. who is perhaps the most eminent of living American ornithologists, contributes to a recent issue of Outdoor America" a short ar ticie on "The Bobwhite as Val uable Ally" which should be of much interest to the farmer. Dr. Ridgway outlines the results of the extensive investigations made by the United States Biological Survey regarding the food of the Bobwhites, and he emphasizes the fact that the bird is a special en- emy of two insect pests which are now proving themselves very for midable, the chinch bug and the potato beetle. Thus in the stom- ach of one Bobwhite from 100 to 500 chiGeh bugs have been found. Tn other cases seyenty-five potato beetle have been found in the stomach of one bird and a num- Der of observers have reported to the Survey that Bobwhites have kept potato patches clear of the pests. Discussing the other in- sects found in Bobwhite's stom- achs, Dr. Ridgway notes that they include "such lepidoptera as the army worm. that notorious devas- tator of grain fields. and the cut worms, zebra caterpillar and striped garden caterpillar. so in furious to vegetable crops in gen. eral. Among beetles are the boil weevil, the corn billbug. the cow pea pod weevil, the imbricated snout beetle. a pest of small fruits. the clover leaf and the clo-
  June-bugs, the adults of white gruhs, both adults and layvae of wireworms, the 12-spetted cucum- Der beetle also known as as the corn-root worm. the grape-root worm. various flea beetles, the bean-leef beetle, the seed corn bee tie, and the newly introduced and exceedingly destructive Japanese beetle, Other pests identified in the food of Bobwhites are the sharp shooter of cotton, the tar nished plant, bug. an abundant general feeder on plants, blowflies, ants. including the corn-louse ant, leafhoppers. grasshoppers and crickets. Additional pests report ed by reliable observers to be fed upon by the Bobwhite are the Rocky Mountain locust, potato aphis, squash ladybird span-worms and the corn-ear worm or boil worm of cotton.
 Hence it is much to the farmers interest to see to it that the tribe Of Bobwhite shall continue to exist in the land. and in this task far mer and sportsman ought to work together, since they both seek the same end.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

The Santa Barbara man, 1 hear, Died twenty thousand years ago; I wonder if he lacked good cheer Because his income was too low, And if. it made him jealous when He saw, as oft he did, no doubt, That luck was good to other men, But tried to keep him down and out? wonder if he ever gave
 The bones delft, caressing touch, Or eyer hastened from his cave Because his wife conversed too
 much?
 I have no doubt that in his day He heard old men whose boards
 were long Declaring dolefully that they Believed the world was going wrong. No doubt he often grumbled that The cost of living was too high, And I'd not fear to bet my hat That he was told "they can who try" wonder if he ever learned To venerate the government, And if he ever was concerned At all concerning his descent? It's doubtless safe to say that he -- Believed his tribe was always right, And selfish old men probably Made wars and sent the boys to
 fight,
 And when the cripples hobbled back To bitter hardship and neglect They got what Tom and Jim and Jack, The warriors, always may expect.
 -S. E. Riser.

Newspapers and Courts

(Gadsden JournaD
 There probably would be much moro criticism of the court seen in the press were it not for a realization of the fact that such criticism tends to break down re- spect for law. Newspaper men respect the courts. but they are law-abiding and have proved in many instances that they are un- afraid when 1t comes to defending a principle, such as free speech. However, they have no desire of aiding in breaking down respect for law and order, and therefore refrain largely from criticizinE the courts.

Anniston Wants Tourists
(Anniston Star)

oLdIJ
 Many attractive locations abound all around Anniston for hotels adapted especially to resort pur- poses. which would appeal by the attractiveness of their surround ings to many of those who now rush to Florida in winter or to mountain resorts in summer. find ing in neither more charming seen cry or greater opportunity than could be offered here for enjoying life to it's fullest. For health, pleasure and all around satisfac- tion, no place anywhere can ex- ceed Anniston, and if the resort hotels, with their grounds and their appeal were here. Anniston would be the Mecca at oall sea- sons for many hundreds of people who now rush here and there in search of what Anniston has al- ways ready to offer.

"A Potential Peach Country


 The Sylacauga district is better adapted for the raising of peaches and oither fruits than most any other section of AlabamaR Yet, there is little fruit grown in this section. Now Is the time to set out orchards and every farmer of this district who, owns his farm should have at least five acres in fruit. This orchard land can, and should be cultivated, and will yield as good crops after being planted in fruit trees as before. The fruit gathered from the or- chard should net the farmer sev- eral hundred dollars annually. There is no reason why the Syla- cauga district should not ship peaches and other fruits to the Northern markets as does the Georgia peach section.
