WHEN SALADS WERE GREENS
Also Recalling the Days When All
Vegetables Were Boiled Before
They Were Served.

Salad Is a peculiar thing. Ii Is only
about twenty years old in the corners
Of America 1t Is an imported prod
uct. The generation just before ours
called the same thing greens" Also
they cooked the greens before they
put them on the table.
It's q new idea that raw green vege-
tables provide certain amount OF
mineral salts, vitamlnes and other ac-
cessories to health. The balanced diet
ia something that mother did not know
anything about when she cooked TOT
the chicken pie social In the church
basement. The only salad known IN
those days was chicken salad and the
only recognized greens" In this was
celery. II some advanced cook put IN
a little lettuce and an elder OF the
church happened to get 1t in his help
ing there would be a two-hour prayer
on the next Wednesday night.
In the old days all salads were
cooked. There was no such things as
hearts OF lettuce. In the spring we
had "greens." In the winter we had
boiled cabbage or what has recently
been called liberty cabbage"
On "Main Street" salad is still con
sidered foreign dlsh--something mat
the "French do" something that Is
served only when the preacher comes
or when one wants to make special
splurge.

AT LEAST HAD HAPPY ENDING
Unfortunate Bird Cut of In tils Prime,
but One Good Thing Might
Be Observed.

A rare play on words was perpetrat-
ed upon the members Of the Kiwanis
club by Rev. A. ii. Lord, rector of st.
James Episcopal church, in recent
address.
An industrious hen, Mr. Lord said,
sat upon nest of eggs so efficiently
that she was rewarded with II chill
dren. Eleven we're little girls and one
was little boy.
Soon the little boy grew large, with
q fine tail, beautiful red comb and
a lusty voice. The mother and all Of
the little sisters were tremendously
proud of brother and talked and
thought about him great deal
Then one day the minister came
unexpectedly to the house Of the lady
who cared for the entire family.
Something had to be done to celebrate
the occasion in fitting manner. SO
one Of the boys In the family was
dispatched to secure chicken.
Perhaps he was not overly intel
ligent. but, at any rate, he chose the
remarkable brother to grace the table.
Reports are lacking of how the min
lister enjoyed his meal, but the be-
reaved family was filed with woe,
They wept and wept and wept.
But at length a more optimistic sis
ter dried her tears somewhat and said
between sobs. "Well, anyway, mother.
we can always console ourselves with
the fact that he entered the ministry"
"Yes," the mother answered fearful
ly, land he would probably have never
made good layman. "-Milwaukee

Tubular Springs.

II was ErnOult, the French engineer
who invented spring formed or II
coiled-stce tube, in which, 1t Is
claimed, are found certain advantages
over springs made Of solid metal 1t
is well known that tube Is much
stronger and more rigid than bar
of the same material of equal weight,
from which II might be assumed TINT
tube would not form hexiDie
spring. But Ernout has, 1t appears,
proved that tube Is more flexible
than bar Of the same exterior dlmen-
sIons. II will be observed that the two
principles are not In conflict. Owing
10 Its smaller mass and consequently
smaller Inertia the tubular spring re-
spends more quickly and should, Tor
that reason, be specially useful FOR

CRAIG NOT IN CONTEMPT

Although Comptroller Charles C.. Craig of New York City is serving his term in jail imposed by Federal Judge Mayer, it is quite clear that the su- preme court refused his appeal only because of a technical impropriety in the way the appeal was presented, and Justice Holmes indicated very plainly that, had the manner of the appeal been correctly presented, the court would have found that there was no contempt in the comptroller's expres- sion of opinion. Perhaps it is unfor- tunate that our laws do not permit our highest courts to originate juris- diction so. as to cover in all aspects questions presented for settlement. The function of the courts is to pro

sEEING ONLY THE MOTE

It is unfortunate that the govern ors called in conference by Governor Pinchot to consider measures looking to the reduction of anthracite prices should retort by calling upon Penn sylvania to repeal its coal tax. Aside from the fact that Pennsylvania has a perfect right to tax her coal, just as other states tax their own products, the emphasis laid on the influence of a coal tax as increasing the price of coal is altogether too exaggerated. It is true that producers and jobbers in coal may mention the tax as among their excuses for high prices, but no person who is able to do any figuring can be persuaded that the tax is more than bagatelle compared with the price increase due to manipulation and the desire for big profits in a hurry. The nation is disappointed that the governors did not take the conference more seriously as affecting their own citizens and constituents.

button, seeking to use the highway commission in program calling upon counties to maintain state highways as an indirect means of getting this gasoline money back upon the roads. Of course, it is folly for the highway commission to lend itself to such a program of trying to gather up with spoons what has been poured out in bucketfuls. The only proper course is either to abolish the gasoline tax or else to turn it back into the state highway fund where it belongs. This indirection gets nowhere.
 Meanwhile, it is hoped that those who protest against the injustice and annoyance of the methods of issuing licenses will make their program suf- ficiently comprehensive to embrace all the evils pertinent thereto, includ- ing the oppressive truck license charge, and to bring about legislative reform at the earliest possible date.

CHANGE NEEDED IN
 FARMING METHODS
(Albany, Ga, Herald)

Farming is rapidly becoming a highly specialized business. It IS no longer merely matter Of blowing the ground. planting the seed, keeping the grass down and eventually gathering the harvest. What to plant has become all-im- portant. The question of markets looms very large on the agricul- tural horizon, and the farmer must needs consider it even before he starts his blowing.
 It has never been difficult to make things grow in the South, and it is possible even now to raise cotton profitably despite the activity of the boil weevil. But in cotton raising. as in the mak- ing of other crops, it is now nec- essary to be forehanded. The boil weevil must be checked months in advance of its appear ance in the fields of new cotton
 and plans for marketing farm pro- duce must be made at least a year ahead. It is only in communities where cotton can be raised profit ably, and it is only as the result of ably directed marketing plans that Southern farmers can hope to get for food and forage crops any thing like their real value. That is why the farmer is finding 1t more and more necessary to bring to his farm the same order of ability that the successful mer- chant must be capable of. In the light of recent experience, his best hope of success lies with the cooperative marketing organiza- tions, the number of which is steadily increasing and the help fulness of which grow greatly as their experience is enlarged.

B. M. SPARKS

With the death of B. M. Starks, gem eral manager of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, the Birmingham district loses friend who believed firmly in it's productive possibilities and in it's future development. MT. Starks spent many years of his rail road career in this community, having risen to the position of general su- perintendent of the division which in cluded Birmingham. He was regarded as one of the most capable railroad executives in the South, and was deep iy interested in the industrial develop ment of this section, while taking active part in many movements for civic betterment. Few railroad off cials had more friends; few mani fested in practical ways more pride in the industrial expansion of the ter ritory with which he came in direct contact.

FARMERS HELP THEMSELVES

It is a happy coincidence that, on the very day Senator Magnus John son was uttering his platitudes about farm conditions and outlining his more or less weird plans for remedy, there was established in Chicago the headquarters of an organization that is bound to be of immense and per manent benefit to grain farmers, in- dependent of further laws and politi- cal expedients. With this organization there is no indication that Senator Johnson has any connection. Certainly it was conceived and planned long be- fore the new senator from Minnesota entered the national limelight.
 This organization, known as the United Grain Growers, Inc, is an ex- tension of the Farm Bureau, and is the same kind of cooperative market ing association as has done so much for cotton farmers in the past year, especially in the way of warehousing the crop and advancing money on product held in storage. Under the present plan the grain farmer may on shipment receive eighty per cent. of its current value and the balance, with whatever increase there may be, on sale of the grain and collection of the purchase price. If the farmer desires merely to hold his grain in storage to await a higher price, he may draw sixty per cent. of it's current value and the balance when the sale is completed. It is expected that the or ganization will also operate on the Chicago Board of Trade, either as member or through broker.
 A feature of cooperative farm or ganizations not hitherto developed is already undertaken by the Grain Growers. This feature is the estab- lishment of relations with other farm organizations. For example, the Growers have made contracts with the Eastern States Farmers Exchange, which is dairymen's association, to furnish them all their grain for feed. Similar contracts are pending with other organizations of consumers of grain. Even the Cooperative Whole sale Society of Manchester, England, dealers in grain, has established con- nections in order to buy directly from the producers The inter-relation- ships that may be built up among the various organizations of farmers are thus very promising of profit and mutual advantage. The law, like Providence, helps those that help themselves. Those who do not help themselves cannot be helped by the most efficacious of nostrums. For tunately, the farmers are helping themselves.

mote justice, not to be confined and hindered by petty technical limita- tions and court etiquet. If the peti- ton of Comptroller Craig was not properly presented, the power should have resided in the court appealed to to amend it in such manner as to bring the just end sought.
 As for the criticism of Judge Mayer constituting contempt, the Mobile Register quotes Supreme Court Jus tice John Ford of New York, as fol- lows: "It has always been the law and any other would be deadly to de- mocracy-that the actions of a judge may be criticized and the court may be criticized, all courts, high and low, with just as much freedom and re- straint as any other public official may be criticized, from president down to alderman. There is nothing in the constitution, either federal or state, that gives them any immunity, or commands from the people, their masters, any more respect than is due any other public official" As The Register remarks: "It is entirely probable that if Judge Mayer had not had the personal urge, he would have recognized as a fact that Mir. Craig was not guilty" And that IS the essential weakness of summary punishment for contempt-it permits the judge to satisfy his personal malice or resentment. For that reason no judge should be qualified to pass on a question of contempt in his own court.

John w. Davis and George liar yey, former ambassadors to the Court of St. James, and Frank B. Kellogg, who will next fill that highly important assignment, were seated about a table in the senate restaurant one noon day this week.
 And England. having seen Davis and Harvey, will. when 1t beholds Kellogg, agree with that philo- sophical individual who is made by Shakespeare to swear by two headed Janus, nature has framed strange fellows in her time."
 Davis has an unfortunate lex cessiveness." For instance, he is too handsome. His shirt front, his vestees, his collar are too immac- ulate. His face Is too smoothly shaven. One Is frantic lest a lily light thereon and, slipping, break its neck, or a bit of float ing soot completely ruin his entire arrangement.
 He seems to be one made to look at, not to jostle. He has certain difficulty in bending, Tn "unloosening," in being simply cordial, In being (to state 1t all in a breath) lat home"
 But he is the best fellow in the lot, the kindest, tho most blessed in humanity.
 Harvey is on the other extreme. It appears that he is woefully lacking in dignity, and that he takes great delight in shocking finer sensibilities by Erotesuuely displaying his lack of dignity.
 Harvey does not call to mind the conventional picture of a buffoon. Unquestionably, however, ho is of the type that cartoonists revel in. Perhaps he has the nimblest wit of the three. There Is no doubt but that as 8 diplomat he is in ferior to either his predecessor or his successor.
 In every respect, he and Davis present remarkable contrast.
 Kellogg is smaller than Har- vey. Like Richard III, he was not shaped for sportive tricks, or to court an amorous looking glass; and like the same historical char acter, he suffers of a permanent deformity.
 Both Harvey and Kellogg are smarter than Davis as the fox Is smarter than the eagle. Kellogg is deeper than Davis and infinitely deeper than Harvey, who is not deep at all. He will not make the breaks" that Harvey made, and will not command the respect that Davis commanded.
 It was interesting to observe the three. Davis was quiet, very quiet; smilingly tolerant of the continuous flow of the Hartey near-wit and facetiousness.
 The sharp, little black eyes Of Kellogg snapped back and forth from Harvey to Davis and back again. missing nothing. Davis was conscious that their table was the center of interest, and his nodesty was affronted. Kellogg knew and enjoyed the thrill. Har- Vey knew and ignored it.

A NEW SANITARY CODE

Perhaps the most important feature of the new food ordinance prepared by Dr. Bowling for this community is the fact that the measure has the ap- proval of the Grocers and Butchers Association. Unless 8 Law has the fullest cooperation among those to whom it is intended to apply, the dh- ficulty of enforcing it becomes very great. It is to the credit of the deal CTS in food products in Birmingham that they comprehend the benefit to themselves of such regulation. Per haps the effectiveness of tho regula- tions governing the production and distribution of milk has opaned the eyes of other dealers to the profit in applying similar regulations to all food products. There was once 8 time when milkmen regarded sanitary re- ouirements as hindrances to their bus iness. Now they find that 1t is far more profitable to follow sanitary principles in milk production than to neglect them. It is expected that like profits will follow proper safeguarding of other foods.
 Of course, the primary object of the new ordinance is to protect the public health, and for such purpose 1t is worthy of official support, even were it not accompanied by the private sd- vantage. All precautions for keeping food on sale from the contamination of heat, flies, human hands and other sources of infection are eomprehended in the new code, and there ars suffi- cient powers and penalties to insure enforcement of the laws, if the 'anten- tion of the city administration is to have them enforced. Nobody knows how much sickness is caused by tn- sanitary food handling, nor how widely contagious and infections dis eases are spread by this medium. To, adopt reasonable precautions Is to halt the spread of disease to very great degree. The health department, the commissioner of health and the deal- CTS are alike congratulated on arriv- ing at a mutual understanding and program with respect to>+his important duty. It is hoped that She commis- sion will give the program the atten- tion and support it merits.

run the road connecting Living ston with Carrollton, county seat of Pickens county through Gaines vile to Panola. thence to Pickens county line. The 12,000 acres of land mentioned at the Boligee meeting as belonging to MT. Rogers, lie on this road instead of the Livingston-G Gainesville road. MT. Rogers only owns home and or 8 acres on the Livingston Gainesville road. This route pro- posed by the federal engineers would have passed through seven miles of land owned by the Rog- CTS family and would have re- quired only sixteen miles of ad- ditional road constructed while the route which MT. Rogers forced the federal engineers to accept from Livingston, via Emeele, Gerger, Panola to Pickens county line is 40 miles and passes through none of his land. know no man present at the Boligee- Epes meet ing who would have been so un- selfish.
 The road to Gainesville opens up one of the richest sections of Sumter county and Is of ines timable value to Sumter county. It is strange fact that If road from Epes to Boligee Is so badly needed that self-supporting ferry has not been started long ago as the ones at Gainesville, Moscow and other points on the Tombigbee river. Instead the Epes Ferry association has been rais- ing money for two years to sub sidize a ferry at Epes.
 As for the Green county side, the road to Gainesville Is ready built It is only twenty miles from Gainesville to Cutaw. There is enough gravel available in the bars of the Bigbee river at Gaines vile to gravel a road from Big bee to here. It passes through a good road while the much wanted road of Greene runs from Boligee to Eutaw and might tell my Greene county friends that while this road looks good to them it is constructed on so cheap a scale that it would never pass the re- quirements laid down by the fed eral government but in case that route was accepted the present road would be discarded and a new one built.
 I know that an attack on a man is given more publicity than a de- fense but I hope for the sake of the people of Sumter county you will give this as much prominence as possible. INstamp it in no un- certain words as cowardly, un- fair and selfish attack on man who has devoted the greater part of his life to the public good, especially road building.
