GROWS FLOWERS FOR
THE NEEDY AND SICK

Muskegon,-(A P.)-Believing that
the greatest service any person can
give to his fellow man is that of
spreading cheer and happiness, A. H.
Allen, the largest producer of gladioli
in western Michigan, has consecrated
his life to the raising of flowers for
free distribution to hospitals, charit-
able institutions and public buildings
in order that he may extend his mes
sage of human kindness to all who
look upon his offerings.
About Is years ago Mr.. Allen be-
came imbued with the idea of serving
humanity. Always lover of flowers
he decided to use them as his medium
for showing his love for others.
The Allen farm has II acres devot-
ed to the culture of gladioli During
the Towering season the tract is a
riot of every color and color combi-
nation conceivable. In all there are
81 varieties of this popular flower
each with it's distinctive coloring and
its own characteristics.
Mr.. Allen, during the Towering
season, comes down town each day
with a supply of blossoms, makes his
rounds, and leaves bouquets at the
hospitals and in other places where
he believes they will be appreciated.
On the Allen farm this year are
10000 gladioli bulbs in blossom. The
grower is at work on several new var
rieties, several years being required
to develop new species.

White Pine RUST
ENDANGERS IDAHO
UNIVERSITY FORESTRY SCHOOL
PREPARES TO FIGHT AGAINST
SPREAD TO TIMBER BELT

White pine blister rust, according to
DR.. Henry Schmitz, associate profess
sor of forest products of the univer-
sity, is rapidly spreading toward the
80 billion feet of white pine found
In Idaho's northern forests. Last year
at this time the nearest Infection was
at Revelstoke. B. c., which is about
$50 miles northwest of the Idaho state
line. 1t is now known to exist at
Renata, b. c., point only slightly
more than SO miles from the Idaho
line.
If the summer of 1924 is as favor
able to the spread of the disease as
summer of 1928 has been, it is prob
able that white pine blister rust will
be intrenched in the white pine for
ests of the Inland Empire next year,
he believes.

"MIGHTY LAX A ROSE" is STORY
OF LIFE-HIGH, LOW PLACES

A gang of successful desperate
crooks tried to steal the heart of a
young and innocent girl violinist
turn her into crook and use her in
their big schemes. But the girl, with
nothing but her sweetness and the
music of her violin, turned these
crooks, male and female, into paths
they did not want to go. This, in
brief, is the story that Edwin Carewe
has turned into a powerful picture,
Might LAX a Rose" that is COM
ing to the Kenworthy theatre next
Sunday.
In the cast are Dorothy Mackaill,
James Rennie, Helene Montrose, Sam
Hardy, Anders Randolf, Paul Pan
ger, Harry Short and about a hun
dred others in crook and society
characters. "Jean Bronte," Scotch
collie, must not be forgotten because
Jean" has very important part to
play.
Director Carewe believes music
plays big part in this life and he
AYERS, too, that it should play big
ger part. In this play he had gone
into the underworld to demonstrate
how good music, combined with a
good soul, can be the great uplifter.
He is said to have made a fascinat-
ing picture.

PRESSING NEED FOR RELIEF

In adopting an ordinance requiring the Birmingham Southern Railroad and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company to construct a reinforced concrete viaduct in the eastern section, the city commission took a step towards resurrecting the yiaduct program, and paving the way towards requiring action. While this may not, be the official interpretation of the commissions act, the nature of the action appears to suggest that such was it's purpose. This ordinance pro- yides that the cost of the concrete viaduct, which is designed to take the place of an old and unsafe wooden Structure, is to be borne by the rail road and the power company.
 iss. Since the bill which was proposed for legislative enactment to clarify some legal points as respects the con- struction of viaducts and underpasses was killed largely by railroad influ- Ience, the commission is understood to lhave had under consideration the 
 Iquestion of its next move in the via Fduct program; and to have decided to take this up as soon as the budgco Eproblem was well under way of solu- Etion. This first step would appear to Eopen the way for the formulation of la definite policy looking to early ac- ltion to relieve a situation which is rgrowing worse with every passing day. rand which is already we'll nigh ir- Ltolerable. Every day witnesses in- creased dangers to two hundred thou sand people and immense losses to Business, because of these death-traps. The patience and tolerance of the peo- pie are a source of surprise.
 ,'.~ The city commission has definite Responsibility, pressing duty, in this matter. There has been ample time to work out program, and plans have been considered for years in connec- 'tion with the project. If the railroads are not disposed to be fair and req sonable in providing proper relief to "a. community which has long been one ,df their most generous patrons, the .commission is fortified by the highest ,tribunal of the land, which has held that the public safety and the public welfare are primary considerations where private interests stand in their way Why further delay? The two hundred thousand people of this con- ilnunity demand and are entitled to re- lief, and are looking to the commis- sion to see that it is forthcoming.

Better Farming Methods


 A far-reaching economic devel- opment of the negro migration will be more scientific methods of farming in the cotton states. Great as has been the progress of the South in agriculture ill recent decades. 1t still is plain that many additional advances are both pos sible and necessary. Labor say ing machinery has an immense future on the farms of a vast DOT tion of the United States. A ready supply of cheap labor for cotton production has retarded both the perfection and the use of machin- cry on the Southern farms. But when that supply is threatened the conditions are bound to change. Both the cultivation and the har- vesting of cotton may have to be- come the work of other than hu- man hands. When the need be- comes imperative, the machinery required no doubt will be made available. More extensive fertil- izing of the soil and a consequent increase in production per acre; a more determined fight against the boil weevil, already losing ground at the hands of science, and a further diversification of crops are developments also to De expected as modern methods of in- dustry are made a part of South ern farming.

FOR AN ECONOMIC CONFERENCE

Senator Copeland of New York, in a recent address at historic Kings Mountain, set forth some practical reasons why there should be eco. homie agreement between the nations of the world looking to the re-estab- lishment of international trade. Among other things he declared that there was no happiness and prosperity after the Revolutionary war until there was economic agreement be. tween the colonies, and he added that history repeats itself in the field of economies as well as in political trends or in the creation of standards of citizenship or intellectual forces.
 It is interesting to note that while the speaker is a democrat occupying a prominent position in public life, he emphasized the view that this is not a matter of republican or democratic policy, and should not be prejudiced by politics at all. It is purely economic in it's purposes and hoped-for results. The most bitter opponent of the league, contended the senator, can not object to the consideration of plans for the economic rehabilitation of the world, nor can the most ardent supporter of the league object to a brief departure from the original pro- gram. "It will be period," said he, "during which heated feelings may cool and engendered hatreds may be buried"
 What the world needs more than any material thing is revival of inter- national business. This will not be real ized so long as the richest and most powerful nation on earth, whose CO., operation would start the wheels of industry whirling throughout Europe sits off to itself and indulges in con, tinuous political quarrels, while there idleness prevails over the rest of the world. Americas prosperity is trans tent. It will not, it cannot continue long unless there is revival of wor,t trade. Every large industry in Amer ica, including the most important ol all, the agricultural industry, is suf fering because markets for this na tion's surplus products are closed They will remain closed unt America takes active steps to op.r them. The longer this is deferred, the greater tho losses and dangers to this country.

the Civitan Club employed an emu merator who made a house-to-house count. His figures show gain in population of fifty per cent. since the federal census of 1920, the number of inhabitants at that time being 2,025. The enumerator also found that in the three-year period 159 new homes had been built, and it was sad that more than $2,O0O,0OO has been spent on buildings during the three year period. Fort Payne is not only beautifully situated at the foot of Lookout Mountain, but it is a com munity of progressive and alert citi- zens who take pride in their town and whose united efforts are making it more and more attractive as place of residence and business enterprise.
