TO SELL POPPIES
 FOR WORLD VETS
Legion To Direct Work Here On Memorial
 Day

The records of the United States vet erans' bureau show. that. 125, GOO World war veterans have died since July, sIHlv, this total being considerably larger than the total number of men m the American army before the war.
 These figures also show that the num- per of former service men who have died since the war ended, presumably as a result, in part at least. of their 1 war Experiences, is greater than the total number of American soldiers who died during the entire war period. Using them as a basis of, computation, It has been estimated that 5000 ex- service men will die during the present year, averaging one every 20 minutes, three every hour, or 72 every day.
 To place flowers on the graves of the men who have already died and to raise fund to help the thousands in gov ernment hospitals who have given their health to their country as result of injuries and exposure suffered in France, Birmingham post No. I of the American Legion. the United Confed- crate Veterans, Daughters of the Con- federacy, members of the c. A. R., :. Spanish American War Veterans and other patriotic organizations will sell thousands of poppies on the streets of Birmingham on Memorial Day, May 30.
 These flowers, symbolic of the spirit of the Amer1can army and navy during the war and figuring most prominently m the poems and songs of those stirring days, will be bought by the local post from national American Legion head quarters, and an effort will be made to make the wearing of the poppy uni yersal on that day..
 One cent of the price received for every flower will be given to the men ? in the government hospitals who make them, while 10 per cent of the total sales will be used to assist the wives and children of veterans who are found to be in need. The government pro- vides we'll for these disabled veterans who are able to go to the hospitals, but additional funds are needed for little comforts not paid for by the federal government. The remainder of the funds resulting from the poppy sale will be devoted to assisting veterans in the local American Legion district and carrying on the work of Americaniza- tion upon. which the organization em- parked as one of it's first and most ini- portant after-the-war functions. 9%

 O. What variety of cucumber is best to plant for picking purposes!' Mrs. T., Blocktoi, Ala. =,
 A. There are several types that would answer the purpose. Chicago pickle IS A real good medium sized sort, while Long. Green and Davis perfect are splendid large sorts. The white spines are not used to any great extent. See special letter.
 o. I am late this year with my hang ing baskets. Are there certain plants that are particularly desirable for late filling and would you name a few? Mrs. T.
 A. It is not too late for most any desirable plant, such, for example, as yinca, lantana, begonias, petunias, ivies, wandering Jew, geraniums, etc.
 0. My scuppernong vines are show ing signs of setting heavy crop of fruit but II notice the foliage in spots is becoming rusty. What should be done to correct? M. H., Wadley, Ala.
 A.. This condition could be due to several things such as lice on undersidee of leaves or it may be some sort ot fungus attack. Better spray quickly with lime sulphur to which might be added two tablespoonful arsenate of lead to the gallon mixture. Use about three tablespoonful of dry lime sulphur to the gallon of water.
 Q. Everything l. plant in my garden comes up and grows off beautifully but just in a few days, the plants, with out exception, are attacked by some in- sect that eats holes in the leaves or burrs the foliage and the garden looks like a wreck. What am I to do? Mrs. s., Sheffield, Ala.
 "A. Your garden location like many others is infested with many sorts of insects and it becomes a battle with insect enemies to succeed. A good plan is to dust .all plants promptly as soon as well9up with some good. poison iIi- secticide. The trouble is, most every one waits until the damage is beyond repair before doing anything, One must be prompt in combating insect life, as they work while we .sleep2apd often ruin plants before even noticed.

 A. Thefe are some advantages when one can water late inathe evening or on cloudy days, but midday watering even in bright sunshine is permissible. The best results are generally attained by SO holding the hose that tho water comes down on the ground or plants like natural rain.
 O. Does the weevil ever bother the soy bean and the velvet bean? L. F., Tuskegee, Ala. .s

ISAIAH'S SERVICES TO HIS
 COUNTRY
Isa. s7: 14, aI.2a; 20, ss.3e.


 Isa. 37: IA, 21-23; 20, 33-36.
 14. And Hesekiah received the Iet- ter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Jerovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
 21. Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent unto Hezekiah, saying Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Isreal, whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib, king of As syria.
 9. This is the word which Je- hovah hath spoken concerning him {: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
 g. Whom hast thou defikd and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Isreal. 9. Because of thy raging against me. and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose and my bridle in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which thou earnest.
 8, Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria. He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up mound against it.
 34. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith Jehovah.
 >35. For I will defend this city to save it, for, mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
 30. And the angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians hundred and four score and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, be- hold, these were all dead bodies.

JUDGE PLEADS NOT GUILTY
 FOR PRISONER

FUDGE H. P. HEFLIN entered a
 plea of not guilty to robbery O charge Saturday in his own court. It was nothing, to the judges discredit, because <he was acting merely in his judicial capacity in --the formal arraignment of prison CT.
 Will Dowell, negro, charged with the robbery of the store of Mrs. Car rie Smith and theft of $22 and a pistol, was brought before him by two other negroes, as he was still suffering from the effects of sev- eral shots fired at him by deputies and city policemen before he ex- pressed willingness to submit to arrest. When asked if he had any thing to say, he maintained a sullen silence and refused to enter plea of any kind when told to do so.
 If he won't enter his plea for himself, I'll do it for him." Judge Heflin said "I'll enter a plea of not guilty. He'll be tried May 26."
 The law requires that the pre- siding judge must enter plea of not guilty when none is entered by the defendant upon being arraigned.

while yet child, by him, it would have been strange if Joash' had not been greatly under the influence of Jehoida nearly all his life. This meant that the ancient religion was triumphant in Ju- dah. All went well until after the death of the grand old priest of Jehovah.
 Then it was that Joash went over to the side of Jewish aristocracy with their licentiousness and idolatry. When Zachariah, the succeeding priest, re- monstrated with him and warned him to heed the lessons from the lives of his predecessors, Joash was so wounded in his vanity that heZhad the priest stoned to death. This sealed his own doom News soon came that the great Syrian warrior was marching on Jerusalem. There was nothing for Joash to do but | to send a commission to treat with Syria. The terms of the treaty emptied 1 the national treasury and stripped both the temple and the palace of all the gold in them. Joash was sick in bed at the time. This disaster was poor. physic for his sick body, and worse for his troubled mind and conscience. Friends of the slain priest further incensed by the calamity brought upon the nation, erept into the royal bed-chamber and ended the monarch's misery by assas- sinating him.
 Amaziah
 His son Amaziah succeeded to the throne. He signalized the beginning of his reign of twenty-nine years by pun ishing his fathers murderers. He then led an expedition against the Edom- ites. His success so turned his head that, he next invaded Isreal. Here he was defeated and taken captive. Re volt ended his rule and Uzziah, his son, ''reigned in his stead"
 Uzziah
 This king ruled fifty-two years. He proved himself vigorous and aggres- sive leader. He was mighty in war and resourceful i'll peace. He restored in- ternal prosperity to the country, and won respect for Judah among the na- tions. He conquered Ed0m and Phil istia; reopened the ports on the Red Sea; strengthened the Qualifications of Judah, and built up well-trained, we'll { equipped standing army. But successes and prosperity stirred his pride and made him forget whose servant he was. | He inpiously attempted to assume the function of the priests by burning in- cense in the sanctuary. As the priests stood near regarding him more in fear than in anger, all at once they saw the unmistakable big white blisters of lep- rosy break out upon his forehead. Fort with he was expelled from the temple, denied the privilege of again entering the palace, and segregated in quarran- tine till death relieved him.

USING CARBURETER CHOKE
Function Is To Provide Richer Mix
 tllre For Starring

ture For starting F The. carburetor choke is very use full. appliance to facilitate starting in cold weather but its use is not general ly understood and this lack of knowl- edge its function has caused much damage to engines, says Automobile Digest.
 Its function is to provide a slightly richer mixture for starting than, is nec- essary for regular running as the en- zine will start more readily when cold on a richer mixture. As heat is also necessary to vaporize present day fuels, they will only partially yaporize in . cold engine or, carburetor, therefore q larger quantity of fuel in proportion to air is necessary for starting. The choke form means of providing tHis variable ratio of air to fuel, because in the closed position, it decreases the amount of air drawn into the engine and nt the same time increases the suction on the nozzle giving richer mixture.
 This device is manually operated and for this reason gives. trouble be- cause the operator will close it and then pay no further attention for some tinesuntil the engine operation indicates that the mixture is too rich. In the meantime certain things are taking place and as these occur each time the engine is started, they will in time lead to serious trouble.
 ei After the engine starts, the choke should be opened immediately, for, if the mixture is not rich enough to stall the engine, the excess gasoline will not be burned and it will work by the pistohs into the crank case and dilute the lubricating oil. As the oil is diluted, causing all moving parts of the engine to wear rapidly. Excessive carbon will also collect, causing sticky valves and other troubles. In very cold weather 1t lis generally not possible to open the choke immediately after the engine
