The dinner was followed by a p
by r. S. Ellison. in which he gave
n lot of intensely interesting informa-
ton concerning the early days on the
Oregon Trail near old Fort Caspar.
The paper showed an elaborate re-
search of many authorities dealing
with the early history of Wyoming
and the Oregon Trail and WINS pre-
scented in Mr.. Ellison's characteristic
earnestness and thoroug hness. He
described geographically the estab.
lishment Of the fort and the building
of the bridge with many OF the In.
dian rights that occurred in the vicin-
fy Of the fort. and referred with
much feeling 10 the tragedy and the
heroism h were enacted during
the early pioneer days in Central Wyo-
ming. He stated that II was interest

Mr.. Ellison closed his paper with
an impassioned plea for a more seri.

lARMISTIcE DAY PLANS

While the committee in charge of
 arrangements for the observance of
 enable all contributors thereby feel
 ed that the funds needed for ex-
 .nses of the celebration could be
 asily raised among some fifty pa
 riotic citizens, there is special pur- pose in having a tag day next Satur- day to raise the $3,200 to pay for the celebration. That purpose is to give everyone an opportunity to contribute to this worthy and interesting cause, to make all contributions thereby feel that they have active part in the ob- lservarice, and thus to revive in this indirect way the patriotic spirit which should hover over so significant celebration. The most elaborate pub lie, patriotic exercises are planned of the Rainbow Division are planned for the occasion, including a great parade of the people followed by ap- propriate exercises at Woodrow Will son Park, and it is proposed to bring to Birmingham the crack Luverne battery of field artillery which the war department pronounced the best National Guard battery in the country. It will fire salute in the park. Ar mistice Day is an occasion whose as- sociations are intimate to the people; hence the desire of the committee that everybody participate in its promotion and observance.

RECEIVING THE HIGHWAYS

The resolution of the state highway commission in effect suspending fur ther work on the Shelby county high way until further consideration of the faults alleged against it, is proper and arouses public approval. The situa- tion is a reflection upon the engineer ing authority that would countenance such construction as would lend itself to official criticism. If there is dis
 egard of contract stipulations In shelby county, what reason Is there to believe that state and federal high ways elsewhere in Alabama have been built according to the plans authorized by the highway commission?
 The courage and determination of the new commission deserve and re- ceive the warm commendation of the people of Alabama, who have been justly exercised over the administra- tion of the highway program hitherto. It is believed that the same careful, observant inspection which has brought to light the objectionable situation in Shelby county is also operating to de- tect ar. irregularities that may exist in connection with other highway con- struction. Having halted the work in order to correct it's faults, the next logical step is to find out who is re- sponsible in order that the public well fare may not further be exposed to such damage.

THE FARMERS SHOP WINDOW

Commendable enterprise was shown bv the communities subscribing to the East Alabama Fair, which drew large crowds to Alexander City last week. Hackneyville, Equality, Rockford and other towns maintained creditable ex- hibits at the fair, and the agricultural specimens and poultry exhibit dis played were fine examples of what may be produced in Alabama soil. The farmer, unlike the merchant, has no shop-window in which to display his wares. Neither has he a corps of salesmen who can present the merits of his goods to the consumer. Hence, community institutions like the fair Alexander City are valuable to the farmer as the only means at his dis posal whereby his products can be ex- hibited Nto the buying public. There is certain psychological value, too, in a display of harvest products at this time of year. It is a suggestion Of plenty, a manifestation of the bounty of nature, and fairs offer the people opportunities to enter into the spirit of such occasions.

sire to escape taxes the committee finds that circumstances have invited individuals possessing large incomes into the sale of taxable and the pur- chase of non-taxable securities. The investor of small means gains thereby the opportunity to obtain exceo- tionally attractive yields on security based on sound industry" The value of wise state regulation of utilities has hardly yet been realized.

Gallantry

He grabbed himself trolley seat
 As eventide grew pale, And while he eased his massive feet
 He read an ancient tale. It was tale of gallant knights, A tale of brave, unselfish wights Who spent their days in bloody fights
 In aid of ladies frail. He read of Arthur's noble crowd
 Who braved the battles heat And shed their gore with heads un-
 bowed
 To aid damsel sweet, And as he yearned with soulful sigh To be knight in days gone by, A dozen danes were standing nigh,
 And still he kept his. seat.

ANDREW BONAR LAW

Had it not been for his brief three month tenure of the premiership of Great Britain, Andrew Bonar Law would doubtless have died with no more than passing notice in the dis patches. As it is, editorials in his memory have been written in dozens of tongues and on five continents. And yet, Mir. Law was one of the ablest councillors of England during and immediately after the war. He was the right-hand man of Lloyd George in those matters involving per sonal discussion and painstaking at tention to detail. Although his name was unheralded either in war or re- construction, yet 1t is certain that his wisdom and judgment exercised a pro- found influence on British policy for a period of eight years at least.
 It is probably mistake to say that MT. Law sacrificed his life to public service, for the malady from which he suffered presaged the inevitable end from the beginning, and therefore the suggestion that he was a martyr to public duty is groundless. Neverthe- less, there is a grandeur in his courage and determination to answer the call of public duty, even though at that early date his heart must have been heavy with the thought of his ap- preaching dissolution. At the time of his accession to Che premiership the disease had gained such hold upon his throat that he could not make public addresses, although the world at large and the people he served had no inkling of the fatal nature of the affliction.
 It requires intelligence and stamina of the highest grade for man reso- lutely to put into the background his own dark troubles in order that he may devote his time and his ability to the public cause. Bonar Law did this and he bore the burden, not until his own suffering bade him pause, but until he felt that the sapping of his vigor prevented his giving the best that was in him to the cause he served. Then it was that he made the sacrf- fice-when he laid down the office of highest distinction within the ambi- tion of any Englishman, because he believed that another could perform it's duties better than he. Bonar Law was not martyr, but he was a hero of that genuine but determined sort which seeks no guerdon except the ap- proval of his own conscience.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS
EphraiIn Chambers
By Frederick Houk Lav

Who made the first wagon wheel? That man was one of the worlds greatest men of genius, one of the men who contributed most to the development of civili- zation. Nevertheless, in spite of his great gift to the world, the maker of the first wheel is ut terly unknown. So it is with many other of the useful things that we employ in our complex modern life. Who,S~ for example. made the first dictionary? the first encyclopedia? No one can say definitely. Books of refer ence of this sort were in use by the Greeks and Romans before the Christian era. It is, however, possible to tell the story of one of the men who did much to make the present type of encyclopedia a possibility. That man was Eph- raim Chambers, a man who rose from being a poor London appren- tice, to become the prosperous and honored maker of great en- cyclopedia that did much to in fluence literature in many lands.
 Ephraim worked for a map maker. One day the young man came to his employer and said: sir, every year we have made more and larger and better maps than ever before. The better we make them, the more we sell. Do you notice that people-who use maps like also to learn about the peoples and. the places all over the world? There is no book where they can find all that. Let us make great book, one that will tell all that they wish to know"
 The idea pleased the map mak- CT, who thought of carrying it out. This was in the early years of the eighteenth century. It took a long time to make the "book," after it had been planned. Years and years after the first proposi- tion Ephraim Chambers, then forty eight years old, looked upon the completed volumes of his en- cyclopedia. He lived to see it so successful that three editions were printed before his death in 174O at the age of sixty. Naturally, the great work affected human thought wherever English was read, and it reached beyond Eng land and brought on in France the work of the so-called encyclope- dists. The patient, saving. hard working apprentice had moved himself upward into the company of the great.
