ONE OF THE big puzzles in
Washington now is: "Where does
Coolidge stand on the World Court?"
1t has been generally believed,
though nothing official was forth
coming from the White House, that
the President intended to give almost
complete approval to the Harding
Hughes proposal to take the United
States into the court on an equal
footing with the members of the
League Of Nations, but some doubt
has been cast upon this view by the
apparently authoritative statement
by one correspondent that Coolidge
has dropped" the world court plan.
Even if the President has decided to
let the world court slide into the
discard as far as this country is con-
cerned, he is not expected to let his
position be known until Congress
meets in December. Coolidge likes
to stay as far away from trouble as
he can, and he knows that the world
court issue is loaded with political
dynamite that might blow him back
into private life,
1T HAS BEEN bruited about
again, and denied from all sides,
that Secretary of the Navy DENLY is
to leave the Cabinet. In reliable
informed circles the statement is
made that Denby's resignation is to
take place in the near future, and
that reports Of his immediate retire
ment are to be described as pre-
mature, rather than inaccurate or
incorrect.
PUBLICITY GIVEN to plans of
the Administration to help out the
farmers had the effect of ca sing

the conclusion that there must be

Much credit and appreciation is due
the Iron county teachers, who helped
to conduct so successfully, the Junior
Red Cross Christmas Kit Campaign,
for the desolate children of Europe
We are proud to announce that rs
Christmas Kits were sent from this
office to New York, from which
place they viii be distributed by the
Red Cross, through these countries:
Russia, France, Belgium, Austria,
Hungary and other places, whose
young people have known sorrows
and havoc Of war.
The following letter is one of the
many which our pupils have sent en-
closed with the kits as directed.
Van Buskirk, Wisconsin
October Is, 1923.
Dear friend,
Christmas Greetings from our
schools! We are proud to say that
our school belongs to the Junior Red
Cross, and when asked to fix this box,
we were glad to do so; with the hope
that our gifts would make Christmas
more cheerful for some one.
We have heard and studied about
the countries over the sea and hope
that some day some of US will be able
to visit over there, where there are
so many interesting sights and places.
We also hope that you will be able to
visit our wonderful country some
time.
Our school, which is located in
Iron county, consists ofs two rooms;
one room is for the primary grade and
the other for the intermediate grades.
1t is TIE upper grades that is sending
this kit and writing this letter in
school. We have many good times
playing all kinds of games during
recess and the noon hour.
We are going to have a Halloween
party on the thirty-frst of this
month, at which time, we will dive
and bob apples, and do all sorts of
stunts. Do you have Halloween in
your country? Next month we have
another holiday called Thanksgiving
day. On that day, there is much re-
joicing and feasting, for we celebrate
it on account of the Pilgrim Fathers
who came from England to our coun-
try in 1920. There was much sick
ness and starving among the pill
grims at first but later on there was
plenty to eat and then they decided
to have a feast day and give thanks
to God, for their blessings. That was
how the custom of setting apart
Thanksgiving Day originated.
Our letter has become rather
lengthy, so we will bring it to a close,
wishing you and all your friends a

something wrong with the Agricul-
tural situation after ALL Both
President Coolidge and Secretary Of
the Treasury Mellon FASTENED, how
ever. to let it be known that there
was nothing fundamentally wrong
with the country economically and
that everything was going TO turn
out all right, despite the present
depression. They believe that
there has been too much calamity
howling"; and that improvement in
the general economic situation will
be effected easier by buckling down
and working than by talking about
"hard times"
Secretary MELLON likewise be-
lieves that there will not be any So
called radical legislation in the next
Congress. There is no way of
determining MELONS basis for this
belief, but here is the way one
Congressman, who holds the same
view, explained it to me: He figures
that the Republicans, despite their
small pluralities in the House and
Senate, win be able to so compile tely
control the major committee that it
will be extremely difficult to get
both houses to agree to any piece of
legislation that is not all wool and
yard wide. This will be ac-
complished through the control of
the joint conference committees
which meet in secret to put bills in
shape for final enactment after they
have passed. There is nothing
particularly new in such procedure
It has been the rule for many years
but the only difference for the next
two years will be that the check.

never took drink in their lives and
prominent citizens who are always
looking for a drink land seldom
getting it, are floeking into town to
see what happens during the two
prohibition conferences which are
about to get under way here. The
first conference is private affair
which will be attended by religious
and civic leaders who will fight any
attempt to repeal or liberalize the
Volstead Act. The second con.
ference has been called by
President Coolidge to map out plans
for stricter enforcement of the dry
law through cooperation between
the States and the Federal Govern
ment. In addition to worrying over
the liquor problem, the state
governors whom the President has
invited to come to Washington will
discuss the immigration and dope

PREL|M|NARIES SO FAR TAKE UP MOST IF SOLONS' TIME
Bill To Elect Coffee Superin- tendent Passes Through
 Senatorial Courtesy
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
 THE AGE-HERALD { Montgomery. Ala. July 2s

In the three weeks of the ad- journed session of the Alabama legis- lature, no legislation of general im' portance has been delivered to Gov ernor Brandon for his approval This fact was shown in a check Saturday of the activities of the law makers since they came to Montgomery July 10.
 Eight legislative sessions have been used and practically the entire time has been spent in discussions of preliminary matters and in fights on issues which did not lead to the pas sage of bills.
 Governor Brandon has received only one measure which attracted state attention. II Is the bill provid ing for the election of the county superintendent of education of Coffee county by the people.
 This bill concerns only Coffee county, but caused state interest be- cause 1t broke the general system of electing county superintendents by boards of education named by the people. The state department of education and the Alabama education associations have opposed the change in the plan. contending that the edu- cation authorities throughout the na- tion have endorsed the system which was eStaOuSheQ Tn AlaDdiu& III 4J10s

 Several other bills requiring the election of superintendents by direct vote of the people are pending and the vote of the house and senate in favor of the Coffee county bill has been accepted as an indication that all the local bills will be passed.
 However, a majority of the senate has shown it's opposition to any gem eral bill on the subject. This opposi- ton was demonstrated when the sen ate considered the Coffee county bill. Several senators announced that they would vote for the local bill because it concerned only one county and the representatives and senators urging if They further declared that they were opposed to general bill be cause the people they represented dld not desire a change in the system.

CONVICTION COTTON ACREAGE IS GREATER
Thirty Thousand Bales May Be
 Produced

ANDALUSIA, Ala, July 27.-(Spe- cial.)-Cotton acreage in Covington county is 50 per cent greater than it was last year, so that figuring last years crop of 10000 bales as 100 per cent, the crop this year should be 15O per cent or 30,000 bales. Crop conditions July 20, however. were only 50 per cent as good as they were one year ago, according to County Agent J. P. Wilson, whose o.ose con- tact with all the cotton farmers in the county enables him to give a very accurate estimate.
 Concluding the most largely at tended and best instructed Masonic conference in the history of Coving- ton county in the opinion of Grand Master Julian F.

Special )-Reliable information ob- tained from prominent planters within a radius of 10 miles of Fort Deposit, tends to show damage to cotton caused by the boil weeviI- to be greater than any year (except 1916) since the advent of the pest. Hundreds of acres are almost barren of young bolls and blossoms, which proves that the weevil has destroyed the bottom crop of cotton, this Is the principle crop, and the only one the farmer can safely rely upon. With ideal weather conditions for the next 30 days. and fast and late cultivation, 1t Is possible that a mid dle crop can be made. The late planted cotton Is suffering the most, as 1t Is just beginning to form the tender squares. and thousands of weevils are stinging or puncturing them as fast as grown. A few farm CTS have poisoned their entire crop several times and claim 1t has checked the advancement of the weevil to & small degree.
