Verses and Reverses (By Samuel Hoffenstein)

I like to watch the little ones Fire off their nonsense and their guns I watch them, and I, too, aspire To hold the kitten in the fire: To lisp and shed the sunny tear Upon the broken chandelier. An, joy to see their sport divine Provided that they aren't mine!
 II Sleep, my little baby, sleep; You'll have cause enough to weep Slumber is a previous boon: You'll be getting measles soon Mumps will clgim you for their own; Group will change your infant tone. So. be wise, my lamb, and sleep!

Women voters of Gadsden are de- manding of local candidates that they pledge themselves to employ every means at their command to enforce the laws. When the voters of the country, male and female, insist upon this as a pre- requisite for support, the country and every interest in it will be better off.

Neil Owens records the following little happening which occurred in Kansas vii lage of a thousand inhabitants. No need to add that he changed the names!
 The young pastor and his wife were ar ranging the furniture in a new house they had rented, located near little Johns house when Johnny himself (aged six) walked in unannounced.
 After making their little visitor welcome the Reverend Wallaces continued their work but also noticed that Johnny was busily en' gagged in touching each article of furniture accompanied by a low, grumbling tone.
 Finally, tiring of what he was doing Johnny explained the matter thus: "I'vt touched everything in here and nothing is hot at all, mamma told papa, when he came home from work last night, that you had certainly moved in a bunch of hot-lo6kine furniture"

about as hard to cure as the other.
woman alike, should have some In
terest outside of theic own homes and
their work, and this is probably best
supplied by clubs. These clubs are
often a source Of aspiration and edu-
to be brought in contact with like
minded people 20 themselves and are
often the means Of their making
valuable business and personal
friends Furthermore, clubs carry on
many useful civic, intellectual and
| philapthropic movements.
! In moderation, the club spirit is a
good thing, but nothing is more cas-
| i!y CVerdone. We all know club Wom-
en- whose whole time and energy are
spent on their clubs, while their
homes are neglected and their chill
dren run the streets. And we all
know men with the club habit whose
club Cues are so big they absorb their
earnings and whose time is given to
their clubs instead of their business
and their families.
SO I think that any woman is very
| wise who hesitates about marrying a
man with a highly developed case
of organization complex. When a
man joins a matrimonial club he
should resign from most of his other
clubs. His wife has a right to his
evenings and his money.

LIQUOR INDICTMENT
ATTACK OVERRULED
BY COURT IN MOBILE

MOBILE, Ala, April 2s.-Two
more attacks on the Indictment
charging II persons with conspiracy
to- violate the prohibition law were
unsuccessful in federal court when
Judge Robert r. Irwin overruled a
demurrer filed by former chief of
police, Patrick j. 'Shaughnessy,
and sustained a demurrer of N e
StaIlWorth, special prosecutor, to a
plea in abatement by Isadore Maisel
asking that his case be thrown out
of the blanket indictment.
The O'Shagnessy demurrer set IN
% points against the Indictment,
among them, that only the nature
OF the alleged Offense against the
federal laws were charged in the in
dlctment; that no actual offense, or
conspiracy to offend, was charged,
and that the indictment was vague.
Similar demurrers were filed by
many of the other defendants. The
demurrer was submitted without ar
gument and overruled.
Maisel, who is one of the II in,
dicted, made a plea through his at
torney, Foster X. Hale, to have his
case thrown out because he was inn
properly described. A demurrer to
this plea was filed by Attorney Stall.
worth, and the case argued at great
length.
Maisel is described in the indict.
ment as "Isadore Maisel, alias Ike
Maisel.' Attorney Hale declared his
client was known only as Isadore
MaiSe,; had never been known as
Ike Maisel, and consequently the
indictment was incorrect.
Unless pleas OF abatement are
filed and granted, the conspiracy
case will so to trial Monday morn
ing.
Among those to be presented are
Paul Cazalas, Mobile county sheriff;
four of his deputies, William II. Hol-
combe, state legislator and former
sheriff; Frank w. Boykin. business
man; Pearcy Kearns, lawyer: Robert
Holcombe, politician, and other Mo

With this thought in mind, we

think that it will provide the best
crop for you to use unde" tho csr-

resistant to this trouble as any crop
we can recommend. The velvet bean
is a soil-builder. 1t can also be re-
lied on to make a fairly satisfactory
hay and a good yield of grain. 1t is
well adapted for cultivation in your
section of the state.
The beans may be ground and fed
in combination with corn and cob

beef cattle or dairy cows. 1t Is best

ing my sweetheart, the IHOlS oCCCA
mined l am to run away.
Besides, I think a secret marriage
is romantic, don't you?
EIGHTEEN.
Answer: No. my dear, I don't
think a secret marriage is romantic.
I think it is pitful and tragic. 1t is
pitiful that any girl has little enough
sense to make a secret marriage,
and it is tragic that by taking one
such false step she can wreck her
life in it's very beginning.
Because, my dear, the odor of
scandal invariably hangs around a
secret marriage. 1t may have been
as legal and honest as any show
wedding ever celebrated with the
beating of drums and pomp and
splendor and bridesmaids and ush-
ers and ring bearers and all Of ones
500 friends looking on, but you will
never make the public believe it.
Mrs. Grundy will always shrJg her
shoulders and whisper behind he"
hand and smile disbelievingly when
she peruses the date on your we'd
ding certificate.
You see, my dear, marriage is sim
ply the public announcement that
a man and woman are going to live
together honorably, and when thi )
important information is withheld
and the thing is done darllly and
secretly, it gives people the right to
put the wrong Interpretation on it,
People who should marry don't have
to sneak off and do it on the sly.
In your own particular case, let
me entreat you not to do such an
idiotic thing as running off and get
ting secretly married to a boy Of
twenty. Surely at your age you
have time enough to wait a few
months. There is no such tearing
hurry as all that, for when people
are married they are generally mar
ried a long, long time, and when
you make as foolish a marriage as
you are contemplating it will seem
longer,
No girl of eighteen. no boy OF
twenty know what real love is, or
what they are going to be them
selves when they are grown up, or
what kind of a husband and wife
they are going to want. Few boys of
twenty have any way to support a
family, and the result is that nearly
all early marriages turn ont dlsas-
trously. Listen to your parents, my
dear. Wait until you are twenty
one, and then if you still love the
boyand he loves you, marry each
other openly. Don't cloud your life
with the murky romance of a secret
marriage.

Answer:

Answer:
Men do not understand women be-
cause Of the difference of sex. No
woman ur derstands a man, either,
for the same reason. The two sexes
have different points of view, are
moved by different impulses, have
different standards of value, have
had a different training in life; here

woman weeps for joy, while a man
registers his joy by getting drunk.
When woman says that a man
does not understand her she general.
ly means she can't make him do her
way, or that he has criticized her for
some fault.

Cover Crops Suited to the Peach
Orchard


H. B., GreenVille, Ga, writes:
We have a peach orchard three
years old, and wish some advice
on what to SOW in the orchard.
Which would be best to use,
Brabham peas or O-too-tan soy
beans?
There is no reason why you should
not use either one Of the crops sug
gested in your peach orchard. The
Brabham cowpea is a good, stand
ard strain, largely resistant to the
nematode worm. 1t yields a good
quality of grain and makes a very
good cover crop for orchard pur-
poses. An excellent quality Of hay
can be made from this crop.
The O.too-tan soy bean is one of
the fine-stemmed varieties. 1t is
sen1i-upright in growth. it takes a
longer season in which to develop
than the CoWpea or any other Of the
standard varieties of soy beans. The
seed are small in size, therefore a
relatively small quantity will plant
an acre. The Otoo-tan soy bean
makes an excellent shade crop and
very fine quality of hay. 1t is
readily eaten by live stock because
Of the fineness of the stem. In the
matter of grain and hay yields, we
are inclined to think the O-too-tan
will outyield the Brabham pea.
Such, at least, has been our expert
ence here on the college farm at
