Enioyed Age.Herald Cartoon.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The cartoon in Sundays Age-Herald, was to say the least a true picture of what the three presidential candidates stand for. The artist is to be congratulated for that true to life portrayal of the LaFonette phantom race; the Silent CaI' cheap politician view in "peeping" out from the undeserVed posi- tion, and last, but mightiest of all the DOT trayals, of Hon. John W. Davis, gracefully stepping along, unafraid, as all true states men are The cartoon carried values to us southerners and if it could have been used in the north, would have swung untold thou sands to Democracy's banner. Agam say, congratulations to your cartoonist
 The citizens of the Twin-Cities appreciate the prominent space you give the Tennessee Valley Bureau News as submitted by your local representative, our fellow townsman and journalist, MT. J. E. Blair l read The Age Herald daily and think it is the greatest News" paper in the South.

PENALTY OF PUBLIC LIFE

Any man who goes into public life in America must expect to be bounded by an army of opponents, anxious and determined to "get something on him." When Harding, upon the advice of his physician played golf frequently there arose a protest that he was giving too much time to golf and too little to business. Yet he was working at his desk on an average of 10 hours a day.
 No private employer expects as much from any man in his employ as the people of the United States expect from their president Pottsville Journal.

Lovely Autumn

When the golden sun is shining
 Through a sky of azure hue, And hazy clouds are floatin'
 Way up in the blue When the goldenrods just beckon
 By the roadside and the brook, And you find the deep blue gentians
 In a cool, secluded nook When the corn begins to ripen,
 And turns a russet brown And apple trees with luscious fruit
 Are bending to the ground When sunsets blue and golden
 Shed a radiance everywhere, Summer days are ended,
 And lovely autumn's here. Ethel C. Wood, LaGrange, Ga, in the At
 lanta Constitution.

If his own offer was so imperfect that congress delayed on it for three long years without reaching a decision, MT. Ford suggests that congress make him a better one. The people do not want Muscle Shoals to be delivered to a mo- nopoly, nor do the people want to see sacrificed the fundamental purpose of Muscle Shoals development, namely, the production of war explosives in war emergency.

NORTH CAROLINA'S PROGRESS.

Perhaps North Carolina owes some of her remarkable progress of recent years to her proximity to the financial centers of the East, with her magnificent noun tains and her enviable summer climate. Wealthy men coming into the state for rest and recuperation have often re- mained to invest and to aid in the states upbuilding. The people themselves have not failed to grasp their opportunities to progress, and as a result North Carolina today leads all other states in the sound- ness and rapidity of her construction of public works and conveniences. She IS leader also in the new textile activity, and in other directions of an upbuilding nature.
 Perhaps nothing will better demon- strate to others the unusual nature of the progress North Carolina has made than a glance at the comparative figures. These are we'll set forth by the New York Times in recent issue:
 The further North Carolina goes on the road of progress the faster she seems to move. Seven years ago she spent $10O0,000 year on school maintenance. Last year the amount was $23,OOO,Ooo.
 In 1900 the value of her school buildings
 was $1 90O,0 Today it is $4S,000,OOO.
 In three years she has spent S76,0OO,Ooo
 on concrete and macadam roads to con-
 meet the seats of her 100 counties. Her
 wealth has been multiplied by ten in
 twenty years. In 1900 her bank deposits
 were $16,OO0,OO0. By 1923 they had
 risen to $345O00,000. She has practical
 ly no immigration. Her fortunes have
 been piled up by the brains and sinews
 of a native stock that is not afraid of
 work. So she has become one of the richest per capita states in the union. Her death rate is "the lowest in the | country"
 The outstanding achievement of North Carolina and the one above all that has made the others possible is her unparal- | |leled construction of highways of the highest type. Her highways have made possible her schools, the opening. up of her resources, her mental, industrial and social stimulation to new efforts, and her general and rapidly rising level of prosperity Alabama, still struggling in the highway myopia of decade ago, might we'll take leaf out of North Carolina's book of success and envision her highway program in far more en- frightened and forward-looking fashion. l

"An Is Quiet"


 At banquet held in Madrid, professors of the university criticized the military directory of General Primo de Rivera. That's all we know. The next dispatch to come through was from the acting minister of the interior: |: Everything is quiet in Madrid" That proves that everything had not been quiet. just be- fore, that the government showed it's mailed fist to COW and threaten the intellectuals, who dared to raise their voices against the "as- sassination of their fatherland." It's the same in Georgia. Everything is quiet there, too. It's the quiet of the graveyard. Thousands of peasants and patriots are lying out in the open, victims of their love of liberty. Things are quiet in Italy, where labor halls lie in ashes and the liberal press is muzzled. On July 5, 1789, the Count of Liancourt told Louis XVI that everything was quiet in Paris. The grenadiers had fired few salvos into the gathering mobs. There were a few corpses lying about the streets in the gro- tesque attitude of death. Ten days later there was noise in the streets, noise like the surging storm against the shores, rising till from its discordant clements could be dis tinguished song. La Marseilaise, explosive, with the crash of dynamite. What is it, Liancourt? asked Louis the Well-Beloved from his golden, silk-draped bed. '"The people are marching, sire!" But that is revolt, Liancourt." "No, Sire, that is a revolution" came the historic answer

My Eel. Clara.

Clara was a pet eel which I brought up from early eel-hood at my farm. She came into my life through the water-pipes winch connected me with the reservoir. turned on the faucet one morning and out came Clara. She was little more than worm at the time and proceeded to do a number ot the turns for which worms are famous This endeared her to me and kept her as pet.
 Clara grew about foot year for five years. During that period taught her number Of amusing tricks She was wonderful at tying herself in knots and soon mastered all the complicated bights, hitches, and cloves Tn the Boy Scout Manuel.
 Shortly after the fifth anniversary ot her coming-out, catastrophe happened. AS she was stunning herself on the edge of a small pond where she exercised large nawk swooped down and seized her ln hls talons. Just as he had carried her up to height or about POO feet the marauder was tlercely at- tackled by another hawk. A heart-rendlng struggle took place in mid-air with Clara as the prize.
 It was then that her training stood her in good stead. By skillful looping of her two ends Clara managed to form two slip nooses. one around the neck of each bird. She was, you see, playing both ends against the middle. You can see the inevitable result. As each bird strained to pull Clara away from his adversary he frightened the moose and choked himself. They fell into the pond, where both birds were drowned.
 Clara is still living, but at such an ad- vanced age that the only knot she can still tie is q granny. It cannot but make me feel little sad when I realize that in her prime she could do 40 knots an hour with ease.

Time and Trees
Ito be continued)

A consideration not given much
thought at the time of selecting trees
for planting is the matter of perma
nency, says the American Tree Asso-
citation. The association welcomes
you to the tree-planting army and
asks you to report your tree plant
ing. Entire streets, sometimes a
whole town, are planted with short
lived inferior trees. when little ad-
ditional forethought and patience
would have brought about an equally
desirable and more lasting effect. 1t
Is, therefore, much more desirable to
plant comparatively long-lived trees,
such as the oak and sycamore.

White Kitchen

White Is everywhere a symbol OF
cleanliness. OF course, 1t is really
no cleaner" than any other color; a
gray enameled ware pot, for instance,
has all the advantages OF cleanliness
that a white one has, for all enamel
ed ware is easy to keep clean and
will not discolor. But the least speck
Of dirt shows on white, where it
might remain unnoticed on some
darker shade. For this reason the
fashion OF white in the kitchen,
where cleanliness is of paramount
Importance, is growing all the time.
The white kitchen" has white enam-
eled table, white chairs, white kitch-
en- cabinet-even white gas range
and, of course, 1t has white enam-
eled ware utensils.
1t is becoming increasingly popu-
lar, particularly among the younger
housewives, to have a definite color
scheme for the kitchen. Some prefer
all white while others find that white
blends very well with the gray, blue
and other shades In which enameled
ware comes.

being worn by the smartest women,

NINTH INSTALLMENT
Continued from previous issue)

A widely advertised stock sale was
an event in the country for the two
fold reason that it furnished the op
portunity for neighbors with fifty and
more miles between them to exchange
personal news and experiences and
also to purchase blooded animals for
considerably less than they could
have been imported.
This was particularly true <of the
Candy sale, where the "culls," both
In horses and cattle, were better than
the best animals of the majority of
the small stockmen and ranchers. In
consequence these sales were largely
attended by the natives, who drank
Canby's coffee and ate his dough
nuts while calling him names which
are commonly deleted by the censor.
It was the custom for such persons
as had a few head of horses or cat
tie to dispose of, but not enough for
a sale Of their own, to bring them to
be auctioned off with Canby's. So it
had come to pass that the stock sale
at Canby's ranch was second only
In Importance to the county fair to
which all the countryside looked for
ward.
Therefore Wallie, whose notion Of
a stock sale was of the vaguest, was
much surprised when after riding in
the direction his visitor had indi-
Gated and spending hours hunting
for gates in wire fences, had come
upon an assembly of size he would
not have believed possible in that

Unless they denned in the rocks,
the question as to where they lived

familiar with this Western phenome-
non than Wallie.
When Wallie arrived in his riding

shared attention with large, veneer
able-looking Durham that was being
auctioned. The Durham, however,
returned the stare of the
crowd with blase eyes which said
that he had seen all of life he wanted
to and did not care what further hap
pened, while Wallie felt distinctly un-
comfortable at the attention he at
tracted, and wished he might find
Candy.
