NEW HOT DRINK
 FOR ALABAMIANS
Mate Will Be Introduced To
 Farmers As Crop Dur ing Year

Alabama farmers soon are ot be in- troduced to ''mate." The right way to pronounce it is "matay."
 No, this isn't new game like Mah- jong. It's new kind of tea that is grown in South America, and Dr. 5. A. Ives, dean of the department of science at Howard college, says it can be grown in Alabama.
 Mate, says Dr. Ives, "has the same value as coffee and of tea, and tastes even better. It is a stimulant, but contains no tannin. By raising the plant in abundance in this part of the country it might soon become substi- tute for coffee and tea"
 Montgomery Meeting
 Doubtless there will be hundreds on hand in Montgomery in April when Dr. Ives tells the Alabama Scientific so- ciety of his experiments with mate" The society is to be incorporated as a section of the. Alabama Educational as- sociation.
 Paraguay, South America, is the home of mate" but in recent months it has been grown successfully near Mount Pleasant, Charleston county. South Carolina, under the direction of UT. NcOfkC T MlICneil, HOtCu lBu EA~ pert of the United States department of agriculture. After graduating at Clemson college, in South Carolina, Dr. Mitchell studied tea culture under the celebrated scientist, Dr. Sheppard, at Summerville. s. C., later being called to the federal service.
 Leads In Experiments
 Besides being the point of origin for cotton, rice and asparagus. culture in the United States, Japanes clover was first introduced in this country there 25 years ago. Mate" is the next new plant to be imported by the South Carolinians.
 Scientific men and women from all Alabama colleges, and from many insti- tutions outside the state, will attend the Montgomery sessions. Dr. Ives will bring out material he has been collect ing for five years in connection with field botany classes he conducts during the spring and summer of each year.
 Seeds of the mate were sent to Dr. Ives by Dr. Mitchell, supervising tea examiner of the bureau of chemistry, in connection with the United States de- partment of agriculture. Dr. Mitchell saw Dr. Ives thesis. "Germination of Amercian Holly Seeds recently pub lished in the Botanical Gazette, and became interested because this Para quay tea belongs to the holly species.

for the building Of club house, and it is GER
tain that such club home would be the most
cosmopolitan gathering place in Kenosha. 1t
would be the most democratic organization
and its operations might easily be extended
farther than the regulate automobile leglsla-
ton in Kenosha.
Many interesting social events to bring the
people closer together could be arranged in
connection with the automobile club 1t would
have an appeal to more classes of people IN
Kenosha than any other organization which
could be worked out
In just little while the roads will be crowd
ed with automobiles and there will be steadily
increasing problems of regulations. This move
ment for regulation should be carried forward
along intelligent lines and the best possible
way to direct it will be to have the men who
are to be regulated have their full part in sug-
costing the regulation.
The future of the automobile in Kenosha
can be determined to a great extent by such an
organization and the men most interested in
the future-the men who sell automobiles
should take the moving part in forming such
an organization.

THE FIRING OF COBBAN.

The dismissal of A. j. Cobban, as head of
the vehicle department in the office of the Sec
rotary of State, is just another example of the
hurtful influence of the political government.
Here is man who has given long and excel
lent service to the state and the word from
Madison is that he has been dropped from the
pay roll, and his department abolished mostly
because his superior officer does not like his
political leaning.
Cobban happens to be supporter of Gov
ernor Blaine. At the same time it is admitted
that he has been most efficient in his work,
and we can see no reason why the fact that he
happens to be a "Blaine man. should make
it either necessary or desirable to drive him
from office or abolish his department.
This kind of political activity has been the
most balefu influence over Wisconsin for
many years. 1t should be froWned on by all
right thinking people. The state should hire
men not for their political leanings, but for
their ability to do certain work we'll
Undoubtedly many men who are not friend
ly to the state administration have felt the eff
feet of the displeasure of the administration.
Two wrongs never made right and the fact
that these men have been dismissed on ac-
count of political activities which were OBJ
jectionable to the administration does not
make it right for a perfectly competent man
to be discharged from Office just because he
happens to wear Blaine button
A mans political leaning and his religious
beliefs are secondary and they should rot be
taken into consideration when he is capable
and honest and willing and able to render real
service to the people.

WE NEED AN AUTOMOBILE CLUB.

Kenosha has five thousand people who drive
automobiles. All of these five thousand peo-
pie are interested in things which go into the
makeup Of the automobile class. They are in
terested in better roads, better policed streets,
better parking regulations, better laws for the
enforcement of public safety, and fairer laws
for the taxing of the automobiles.
Five thousand of them driving about the
city on different streets scattering their in
fuence will not gain much for the general
good but that same five thousand united for
the welfare of the automobile driver could
WELD powerful influence
Kenosha should have an Automobile club
which would do things 1t should have a club
which would be a clearing house for all pro-
blems connected with the automobile It's de-
cisions might be entirely of an advisory ma
ture, but it would have enough influence be-
hind it to make these advisory decisions have
pretty nearly the effect of laws and ordin-
anceS.
Many Kenosha owners of automobiles be-
long to the state association, but this associa-
ton is too busy with statewide problems to
give any considerable thought to the individ-
ual problems of the local community
The state organization has it's function, and
it is functioning, but local organization, pro-
perry organized and properly handled would
be OF even greater value.
Possibly in short time after the organiza-
ton OF such club plans could be worked out

NOW.

Men are much larger and stronger
now than 400 years ago. A check
up of the armor worn by knights of
the 10th century shows that fighting
men in those days averaged only $50
pounds in weight, had a waist 30
inches around, and wore size, 6 shoe.
All this is a part of the system of
gradual evolution. 1t makes one
wonder, what people 400 years from
now will look like Physically we
apparently are becoming larger. But
the sedentary life of modern times
may turn the tide the other way. In
activity inevitably causes weakness
and deterioration. Even the brain has
to tbe exercised constantly to keep it
in trim.
