is no better way to learn about soils and crops than to get in the field and dig for the truth.
 Every section of the county has a right to the advantage of its own na- tural geographical position and to its free and unimpaired natural develop ment. Rates should not be constructed so as to favor one community as against another. Such discrimina- tory rate structure is nothing more nor less than the old rebate system applied to commodities instead of individuals"
 Interesting Girls In Work
 Another important branch of farm aid activity is the work conducted by the Tuscaloosa county council of home demonstration clubs, under the leader ship of Mrs. Emil Scharnagel as the president Three hundred women and 296 girls are engaged in this work, the aims of which have been to promote study and demonstration in projects which increase the family income, as poultry, gardening, food preservation, and home dairying; to help the house. wife spend more wisely the present ln- come, as for clothing; to help her to improve the home surroundings and equipment; to help improve the health and food habits of the family; to make the farm home spiritually more satis- factory. Three nutrition centers," for undernourished children are es- tablished at Hargrove Road, Yolande and Stafford school, while hot lunch centers" are maintained in cooperation with Miss Frances Clarke, superviror ot Boyd.
 The Tuscaloosa curb market, as pro- noted and encouraged by the home demonstration clubs, is another enter prise that has been productive of much good.
 Tt is the aim of those who are in- terested in making country life richer and fuller" says the report of the council, Ito have the mothers of fam lilies confine their activities for ln- creasing the family income, to work they may carry on in and around the home. By creating market for poul- try products, vegetables, fruits, dairy products and preserved foods, this may be done. With this purpose In view, the curb market has been initiated. By study of the methods of preparing pro- l duce for sale, in the home demOnstra- tion clubs, the housewife in her home and poultry yard is able to make such products as will find a ready sale on the curb market.
 1.-The value of this personal contact of the city housewife and the rural farm woman cannot be estimated. This coming together as producer and con sumer brings about a better under standing on the part of the city woman for the rural woman, and gives the rural woman a broader vision, some thing to think about, and raises the standard of her ideals for her home, while at the same time this contact gives the woman from the city broad CT vision in that she gets clearer un- derstanding of the complexities of pro duction on the farm"

HE TOURS IN A BUGGY Chicago Man Prefers Vehicle To Fast
 Motor Car On Jaunt

Tourists who rush from city to city in speedy motor car and cloud of dust are not the envy cf D. F. Lange, Chicago. Lange rolled into Chippewn Falls, Wis, in a rickety buggy behind a little bay horse,t three weeks out of Chicago and three weeks from his disti- nation, Bemidji, Minn. Putting up at the local tourist camp for Nis monday meal, Lange and his horse appeared con tent to move along slowly and 'see everything"
 Comenting upon the dizzy pace of the motor car tourist, Lange remarked, What do they see? At the end of n 300 or 400-mile trip, the motor rariS finds that it has not picked up single The memory of towns, cities and places passed through remain only meaningless tumble of main dusty roads.
 Eventually the party reaches the end of the trip bored with the utter monot- ony of the thing. I travel slowly. I see all that there is to see. pick up impressions of towns, meet people and have first rate time all the while. "---

LABOR RELIEF PLAN :.
Porto Ricans May Be Imported"
 With Japanese Banned

A plan for the transportation Of la borers from Porto Rico to the Hawaiian Islands to offset labor shortage expect ed there from the exclusion of Japanese, and to relieve unemployment in Porto Rice, has received the tentative ap- proval of the war department, officials of Porto Rico and Americans planters in Hawaii.
 Should further study be favorable it is believed the war department might recommend to Congress that army transports now used in transporting supplies from the Atlantic coast through the Panama canal to the Pacific coast, Hawaii and the Philippines, be used. In the beginning, it is stated, it might be advisable for the government to fur nish transportation free, or at re- duced rate, but it is believed that once the movement has begun the Porto Ricans will pay their expenses.
 Although the planters of Hawaii have preferred to import Caucasian laborers and have successively tried Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, the Japanese have made the most headway, largely because of their ability to adapt themselves to conditions. That the Porto Ricans do well in Hawaii, however, in indicated by the record of 2,00O taken there by planters in 1900, According to the census of 1920, this number had in- creased to 5,602, and they were report ed to be content and prOsperous.-New York Times.

MOVING. COSTS MILLIONS
Furniture Breakage And Moving Van
 Bill Make Staggering Total

Bill Make Staggering Total
 Moving day bills make impressive totals. The shift of population in Chi cago last year, for illustration, included 367 ,000 families, say engineers of a gas company. They base their figures on the number of turn on" orders for gas. If all the families were blessed-or cursed-with worldly goods, and the transfer men levied tribuse, say $50 on each mOvee, the moving-van bill would amount to more than $11 100000. And every move goes hard with furniture and furnishings-an additional expen- diture of $1O,OOO,OOO is reported for new things to put in new homes. No one has been able 70 appraise the loss of time from work, or the expenditures for meals outside the homes.
 Some guessing has been done about the causes oe the Maytime quest for new abodes-high rentals, the perpet- ual juggling to keep income even with outgo, ad the gypsy urge for change have consideration. Landlords still hold sort of feudal dominion over ten ants, and it may be that year on one manOrial estate is all the purse will hear. Certainly tenants are of brief fealty to rented domiciles. Their in- dependence is deeper than belief that dumb walters tell no tales; their rowing spirit has florid expression in re- frain of moving day. Million fot moving, but not one cent for land lords"
