Should Be Satisfied

(DehaIb County Hera1d)
 Dr. w. B. Crumpton, president of the Alabama Anti-Saloon League, has resigned his office on account of friction developing over his ardent support of Senator Un- derwood for president. Dr. Crump- ton came out for Underwood last summer when the senator announced that he would do everything possi- ble to bring about the enforcement of the VolStead act. The doctor was satisfied with Underwood's po- sition and it seems that even the most n1os h. raOid prohiOtitiOnist should

That State Primary

(Talladega Daily Home)
 It is said that Underwood never was at heart in favor of that stats primary. It would have been bet. ter for him had it never been pro- posed. And quite regardless of all this, why have a state candidate and not stay loyally by him? He is a Democrat, and this is to be c Democratic primary.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
 The Bonus Hunter

I met him in a club car, which Was going southward very fast; He looked as if he might be rich, Although his face was overcast. He grunted loudly now and then, While smoking up fat cigar, And glaring at the other men
 Who shared the comforts of the car. "This bonus thing," he blurted out, Addressing his remarks to me, "Conl inues to be talked about To- swiftly and too patiently! We've got to kill it, now, my friend Hope you share my sentiment Let's bring the matter to an end, Or we'll have reason to repent. "Corsider, if you please, the shame We'd put upon our noble sons Tte sick, the blinded and the lame, And all the luckior, happy ones Ii ROW we gave them extra pay " For what they did and what they
 lost;
 l. drives my pleasul all away
 When I'm reminded of the cost. "How glad .he legless man must feel When he remembers what he gave Oh, it would be dirty deal
 To offer money to the brave! If they who saved our bacon sit Alone and crippled and in need, They have our sympathy, and it Must keep them feeling proud
 indeed.
 "So let us let them get along
 In any poor old way they can, For it would be deadly wrong To favor any bonus plan" Then, with another fat cigar
 Stuck in his fleshy countenance, He lolled back in the speeding car And yielded to a blissful trance.

HEINE's SONG OF LoRELEI
Written One Hundred Years Ago
After a Painful Love Experience
Of the Poet.

The Lorelei Is one of the most won
derful figures Of the worlds romance
She goes way back to the times when
she was probably worshiped as river
goddess, and after the arrival OF
Christianity she fingered as beautiful
folk myth which has had great influ
ence upon the poetry and art of the
world. 1t has given the world some of
Its most enchanting stories. One hun
dred years ago Heinrich Heine wrote
the Lorelei.
While moodily wandering along the
beautiful Rhine country during one Of
his many love tangles, in which he
had had to suffer scorn more bitter
than his own, or any man's-namely,
the scorn of lovely woman, he came
upon the noted Lorelei rock. The
beauty Of the spot, its wonderful echo
that seemed to carry his voice out to
his beloved and back, worked pro-
found spell upon him and the impress
sion burned In the lines that at some
time or other almost everybody learns
and fingers upon.-Detroit News.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
SHOW GOOD SPoRfMANsHIP

When the opposing team gets
fouled do not cheer: it shows poor
sportmanship. 1t may be q very
tight game and that point may
win for the home team but lets
not cheer or glOat over the other
fellows misfortune.
When an opposing player gets
hurt or has to go out OF the game
for any reason whatever give him
. yell; 1t will make him feel better
and 1t will not hurt your own team
in the least. 1t will give the other
schools good impression of Holly
and that is what we want. 1t Is
not the winning of the game so
much az it is being a good sport
that counts.
Don't yell ani say that the other
team is not as good as your own
even If you think you absolutely
know it. They may be just as
good OF even better than your
home team. When your team
loses do not start making excuses
for them. for nine times out of ten
the other team was the better
team or they would not have won
the game.
TIE time for you to yell Is when
. good play is made. This dOsen't
mean for you not to back your
own team to the limit, for If q
team knows that you are behind
them they will try twice as hard
and that may win the game for
them. So the sidelines can be just
as much blamed or praised as the
team itself.
One of the things that hurts
your team the most of all is giving
one man or all of them the "razZ"
Don't tell them they are no good
or they will be very liable to he
lieve 1t in a short time II they don't
at the time. If a man thinks he is
as good as the rest don't ever let
him think differently.
So let's watch our selves and be
the best sports IN the Valley or
better yet, the best in the state
