the variety is extraordinary in qaul- ity.
 c. Can you tell 1me the price of kainit, nitrate of soda, muriate of potash, sulphate of potash and other fertilizer material in Birmingham? Mrs. D.. Boaz. Ala.
 A. The price of such material de- bends altogether on the quantity one buys. kainit sells for about s20 a ton. nitrate of soda about S75 to $50 per ton, muriate of potash about S60 per ton, sulphate of potash about s65 to s70 per ton. Prices of such ma terial. however, depends on analysis In other words. such material is gem orally priced on what is called unit base. See letter for full par- ticulars.

 A. There is a mammoth podded va riety of Alaska that is far superior to the ordinary Alaska. Try this once and you will not use the old type again.
 Q Is there way to get ol1ra started early. 1 can make money on okra, providing l can get it on the market carly enough. Can you sue- gest any help? ]. M, Gadsden, Ala.
 A The unfortunate thing about okra Is that it is hot weather plant and hard to make grow under cold condition Some truckers plant seed Tn pots or bits of sod and carry in beds until well advanced and then set out in the open. It's lot of trouble and not always successful, but if you do make good on the proposition. there is plenty of profit to justify it.

The yellow blooming annual sweet clover is the best hay plant of all the sweet clovers (mutiiatus). me plant Is dwarf in character, tex lure fine and while the green plant IS somewhat bitter, this charaeteris- tic passes away in the dry cured hay. It does amazingly well in Alabama and deserves wider cultivation

pr. John H. Finley, in the North American Review.
 At this season. We remember par tIcularly those who have recovered" the little land which embraces holy places of three great faiths and the most holy places of two of these. First among these recoverers. of course. is he who has delivered the land itself from the hand of the Turk ana his usually oppressive, often cruel and always unenlightened rule -General Allenby. whose name should be written in flames list along. with those early recoverers. Joshua and Deborah and David He would not allow himself to be called a Cru sader, though his achievement de- serves more even than is written in epic praise of the early Crusaders in Tasso's Jerusalem delivered.
 But Lord Allenby's recovery of the land IS, after all. as is true of every discovery, of value only if it be put to some higher human uses.
 The land will be fully recovered only if its spiritual values be ex- plotted foraall nations and peoples. If every man, woman and child. whose religion traces it's origin from or it's way through that land, were to be- come stockholder in the glorious company of the apostles" and pur- ,chase even an infnitesimal material interest in that land, it would quicken their spiritual interest in that which has come out of it. If they could recover the glory which enhaloed the land in childhood, like the light of the
 Shechinah. for millions of them it would make the place where the child was" real sanctuary again for the broken world
 There is need of new Crusade, not of Christian against Jew or Mos lem for the recovery of the Holy Land. but of Christian, Jew and Mos lem united against the material forces that would make man forget the spiritual ends of existence, for the. recovery. of faith--of that for which this land is symbol

Big Taxi Company
Orders 4-Wheel Brakes

The fact that one of the three
largest taxicab companies operating
in Paris, France. the Compagnie
Generate Des Taxis de Paris. has
specified four wheel brakes on $500
new cars which it is about to place
in commission. adds to the evidence
in favor of this system.
The action is especially significant
in that it is based upon economic
grounds. While indicating approval
of the technical value of four wheel
brakes the announcement states that
1.-The change is being made In order
TO diminish accidents, conserve tires,
lower maintenance cost and thus in
crease earnings of the company"
The Buick Motor Company, which
recently adopted four wheel brakes
as standard equipment on both its
four and six cylinder cars. is re-
ceiving the most favorable reports
of this equipment from all parts OF
the country. Greatest advance in
the history Of the automobile" seems
to be the consensus of opinion
among Buick dealers.
