 And the young lady worked harder than ever she had before, and quite suddenly life began to look to her thing of knowing all the time and know ing less! It took heap of work to satisfy herself now. Being a great woman is desperate despair ing affair."" said the young lady to herself.
 And then one day-one wonder day-the young lady fell in love- and married the she loved and she very happy, and another wonder day her baby and the young lady discovered herself to be a great woman! And she thought the humblest little woman in cottage that she had drawn many time with her baby in her arms, great all the time, while she working hard to be- come

1 good. The mammoth yellow, the Otooton and the Biloxi are the varie- ties best suited for Alabama. Anyone interested in soy beans should read up on all the bulletins available and be governed accordingly.
 O.. How about the Fulghum oats? Do you recommend their planting and can they be expected to really make oats planted this late? J. C., 1 Oneonta, Ala.
 A. The Fulghum oat will make oats planted this late. but it's get ting late to plant any oats except 1t be the early May or. burnt oat. IT one has seed for other varieties l would advise that they be sown.
 Q. Can you tell us which Is the earliest, the Alaska pea. Mclean green, American wonder or the gradus? c. s. D., R. F. D. g.
 A. There is but little difference. The Alaska, a smooth, round, hard pea, is probably the earliest
 c. When does the annual larkspur begin to bloom? Mrs. S., Selma, Ala
 A. That would depend on when planted. It is not naturally an early boomer but usually commences in June and extends for long period Some sorts bloom until late fall | yellow day lily and will they stand shade or should they be in the full sunlight? J. w, Oxford, Ala.
 A. It is now the proper time to plant Hemerocallis or day lilies, they will grow under partial shade or in full sunlight.
 Q. It is too early to plant snap dragon in the open ground and can they be successfully transplantec N. C., Fairfield, Ala.
 A. Snapdragon is very hardy an- nual and may be planted now in the open with perfect safety. By tho time the seed comes up they will be entirely out Of danger. | o. Do you advise the planting of the perennial phlox seed at this time of the year? R. Y, Woodlawn. | Ala.
 A. do not. The amateur cannot generally succeed with perennial phlox through the use of seed.
 0. Would you plant the seed of Sweet Williams now or do you think | it best to put out plants? How far apart should they be? Mrs. l..
 A. Sweet William is perennial and there is doubt about obtaining blooming plants from seed planted | this late. Plants are obtainable ard they are not expensive and would be sure to bloom this year.
 o. Will the Canterbury bell seed planted now, bloom this season or would plants be better? Mrs. R. F. A. Campanulas or Canterbury bells are really hardy herbacious biennials and while they might bloom in this climate. planted this late, we could only advise the planting of plants. | e. Is there a difference in earii ness between the purple top flat l turnip and the purple top white globe and which is best for early market? J., R. r. D. 1.

 Service. Released exclusively through North American Newspa- per Alliance for The Age-Herald.)
 Editors Note: As a parting mes sage to American women upon re- tirng from public life to her farm in Muskogee. Okla, Miss Alice Rob- ertson, second American woman to serve as epresentative-at-lar has issued the following exclusive state ment.)
 The chief trouble with American women is that they are too sure of themselves and their place in the sun" Scarcely ever do they stop to analyze whether or not they are fit ted for a certain job or whether they merely want it. The number of them who are after public positions Is suf- ficient to fill everything from the Presidency of the United States down to the humblest role.
 Suffrage seems to have caused a of desires that no one imagined they had. They seem to think themselves capable of holding any sort of po- sition, without any experience what ever. All they ask for Is group Of "rooters" to go along and tell them what to do and how to do it.
 Those who are really capable are not so eager for the limelight, so they do not seek the places they might fill with honor and distinction to themselves and community. So 1t goes! Women have much to learn if they will but look and listen. The granting of the vote was only part of it. Now they must learn to ac- cept it in the right spirit.
 Most men have 8 natural sort of courtesy that would make them give women what they want, regardless of whether or not they were fitted for that particular place. That is why so many women have been put into public office-through the nat ural courtesy of men. When a group of women get together and yell loudly, demanding this and that as their right from voters. almost any group of men will gladly give in to them rather than stay and hear their sex berated. American women are spoiled and do not know what they want everything they see, whether it is a ribbon in a shop window or the latest political job.
 woman may be a fairly good judge but still not good enough to make a police judge! She may be a good talker at her club but not suf- ficiently well informed to accept the appointment of member to Congress.
 When women learn to wait until they are called to this or that posi- tion they will have learned the big gest lesson they will have in the category of political life. Nor mu . they ask for everything they want in legislative way. The cost must be figured and the men always think of that first of all. Women must use moro logic and less intuition!

good and there is but little difference in maturity.
 o. There is variety of sorghum called Honey Drip that makes syrup that looks like honey. Is this for sale In Birmingham? B. T., Oneonta.
 A. Yes. it is for sale at seed stores. There is nothing better If you get the genuine.
 Q. Can you give me the formula for bordeaux mixture? I want it to | spray my apples and peaches. k. F. NJ, Montevallo, Ala.
 A. Am mailing you circular giving you formulas asked for, but I don't advise you to undertake the making of bordeaux or lime sulphur because you can buy these materials in the powdered form, standardized. reliable and much cheaper than you can make from the raw materials. Q. When the last freeze occurred my cannas. tuberoses. lilies and glad iolus were up several inches high. They were killed down to the ground. Do you think they are dead, making it necessary to plant over? Mrs. K. O.
 A. No. l don't think they are dead. Cultivate them and I think every thing will come out all right. | Q. What is the name of the dark red round beet that comes on the market vsfy early every spring? Mrs. H.
 A. It must be the Early Egyptian or Detroit Dark Red. both fine early ! market sorts and the very best for any purpose.
 | c. What Is the best pole bean that I can plant for early market pur- pose? I don't want a bunch bean. Mrs. S. L., Bessemer, Ala. | A. You could not improve on the Texas pole or the Kentucky Wonder. There are other good sorts but don't consider as good for market. | O. I want to plant sweet clover l for my bees and as a permanent pas- ture. What variety would you use | if you were planting yourself? s. R.. Altoona, Ala.
 A. The best variety. according to my notion. is the common white blooming type, generally known as Mellilotus. There is an annual yellow | blooming type that Is particularly good for hay.
 | c. I want to seed 20 acres to John- son grass. Please tell me when to SOW and how much seed should I use to the acre? S. D.. Oakman. Ala.
 
 quantity to use to an acre depends much on the quality and what Is de- sired in the resulting crops For l prompt results 1t is economy to use plenty of grass seed and not walt for reseeding to establish a thick stand. At least 25 pounds of re- cleaned Johnson grass should be sown to the acre and 40 would be better. Sow in next 30 days.
 c. l am inclosing you small round white seed that grows like sorghum and makes a head very much the same. only larger. What is this seed and can 1t be grown here? B, G., Guntersville. Ala.
 A. The sample of seed received Is feterita. a non-saccharine sorghum, a plant that much resembles sorghum and other non-saccharine plants. This is very desirable plant for forage or hay.
 O. What Is the difference between the Dooly. the Porto Rico and the Nancy Hall sweet potato? B. O., Albany. Ala.
 A. All of these varieties are yell low vans. The Porto Rico is the yellowest of all. The Nancy Hall is the earliest, followed by the Porto

There was a young lady who stepped out into the world with head full of bright notions, great curi osity, hardy heart love of everything beautiful, full knowledge that her face not her fortune-so perforce, she must make herself one-and burning desire for greatness.
 How could she be "great?" She had talent tucked under her arm and good friends and relations stand under and give her shnnyup. That was lucky for some of particularly naked of friends and relations with faith in us when we come to put right foot first and step out into the world to what can find in it that is good to have!
 Well-so the young lady scratched away with a black little devil of pen, and with sof deeply black charcoal, and designed slender who taller than any women ever before since! But the good public seemed to like them, she got them where they could set eye them.

 A. Yes, there is a corporation here making such preparation, and am sending you some of their literature.
 c. Not long ago you stated In Ihe Age e-Herald that the Bermuda oxalis made fine hanging basket. Can you tell me If they may be planted now Can we buy the trailing coleus plants in Birmingham. what is the price and when available? J. K, Gadsden. Ala. A. Bermuda oxalis does make good hanging basket, but the bulbs are not available at this season of the year. The plants of trailing coleus can be bought in Birmingham. but they are not available yet, and no price has been fixed.
 Q. What is the difference between the millets? I see in several places where the millets are recommended for early fed crops. Which kinds of rnillts are meant in this discussion? Mrs M.. Hartselle, Ala.

 O.. Which is the earliest of the large pole Lima beans? I don't want the small podded sort. T. D., R. F. D. 9.

 4. Truckers favorite corn Is very much like snowflakes. a little smaller and possibly little earlier, but there is but little difference. We would prefer the snowflake.
 c. Is the plant called mallow to be put out now? What colors are obtainable? Mrs. S., Woodlawn.
 A. Mallows. known as hardy hibis- GUS, may be set out now. The best types are the giant lowered red, pink and white. They are very satis- factory plants and give universal satisfaction. There are a number of plants that belong to this species, but all can be treated in the same manner.

PUNISHMENT


 A father was punishing his little son for some serious offense and the irate mother, hearing the commotion entered the room, and grasping the child in her arms. freely expressed her sympathy. The father, too. dis susted to assert his authority, walked away. The mother rewarded the "abused son" with a cookie and the little tyrant, under the assumption that he had been subjected to great indignity. nursed his resentment to the extent that he ignored his father during the rest of the day.
 Now if that mother instead of showering sympathy upon the child had impressed upon him the fact that he had done wrong and deserved his fathers reprimand she would have taught the valuable lesson that dis obedience demands punishment. She would have made the child so contrite that he would readily have prayed and requested his daddy's forgive ness and she would thus have estab- understanding between father and lished the desirable feeling of good son.

HOME DECORATION
CURTAINS COMBINING CREToNNE


 If you have only small piece of cretonne that you want to use for curtains and if you cant match 1t by hook or crook, then try making of them. as did the woman who cur tained her livIng room with these in- teresting hangings was in a sorry predicament because she had so little material. It wouldn't in any way reach over the surface of win dow pane that must be covered. So she brought to bear all the ingenuity in her possession and the result was something that not only satisfied her esthetic sense but succeeded in mak- in6 her believe that she had made a more effective decoration than could have been accomplished by the use of cretonne and nothing else.
 The length of cretonne that she had were colored green and red on background of tan. Well, she bought some dark green sateen-the darkest tone that she could possibly fjnd-and from that she made a wide bcrder for the curtains-one that reached all the way round the pieces of cretonne Then she lined the cur tains with lengths of unbleached muslin to make them rich and heavy looking. She weighted them at tne bottom to give them form and the result was a pair of curtains of which she could afford to be justly proud. They were swung on large rings so that they could very readily be pulled back and forth to shut out tho light or let in the sunshine, &C., cording to the requirements of the time of day When the curtains were entirely closed, they made an inter esting panel against the wall.
