Different Views on Rains.-There has never been time when the rains were just right; not too much, and just enough. We presume that would be the condition if our rains came by appointment or by law, for l people could never settle by ballot just when rain should fall-Dothan Eagle.
 Coolidge and Chlorine Gas-President Coolidge has started fad. Chlorine gas is in great demand as cure for colds and the announcement has just been made that poison gases will cure whooping cough, bron- chitis and influenza as we'll as colds. The president has done something to popularize some of the war discoveries. Montgomery l Journal
 | Wants City Stable Moved.-we dislike very much to bring up an unpleasant sub | ject, but we would like to know when the city stable will be moved from the heart of town. It is not sanitary in it's present con- dition: it is the most. obnoxious thing housed within the city limits and it should be moved. Sheffield Standard.
 The Influence of Home-Appreciation of l the home and all that it implies in the mold | ing of character and keeping the standards of life unbesmirched by the mire of deceit, prejudice and the other demoralizing influ-
 
 munity progress must be nurtured and cul- tivated and this deep appreciation is not fostered in those who grow to manhood or womanhood without it = it is born in the minds and in the hearts of youth.-Andalu- sia Star.
 l Should Make Better Showing.-It is re- grettable to read that less than fifty per I cent. of Alabama's allotment of places at | SL. ~B ~~s1sk ps,1w a An- niston have been filled These camps af- ford magnificent opportunity for whole some physical and mental discipline in I splendid environment and under excellent | facilities all without the cost of dollar to the applicant, and they should be filled to | capacity by the young manhood of the state. Selma Times-Journal.
 1 Good Roads of Great value.-The need for good roads is being constantly stressed and lis being realized with constantly increasing effect. Occasionally complaint is heard from residents of city because it is thought that the urban communities pay more than the share for the building of roads through the adjacent country and leading into the town. Such a stand is ridiculous because the build- ing of good roads brings trade to the city and is of inestimable value on that account | in addition to its value for the convenience l or the clIy uWelIer.--NdusueH 1hhes-ANe"S' Value of State Gatherings.-Anniston is gaining much prestige and much fine ad- vertising through the assembling here of state gatherings like the Commercial Travellers It has been the good fortune of this city in recent years to entertain many large state bodies, business, civic and religious organ nations all being represented among them The effect has been to make known to the people in all parts of the state, and es- pecially in the cities and among the men and women who are prominent in the busi- ness, social and religious life of their com munities, the progress Anniston is maAing and the fine future this city has to look forward to.-Anniston Star.
 Work, Play and LOafing Vacation days are once more with us and the boys and girls have freedom from the school-room grind. That is as it should be, for "all work and no play makes Jack dull boy" Work with the books is 'as wearing as any other regular occupation and change is both welcome and beneficial But we wonder how many of the young folks will recognize that there are still better ways of resting than just mere loafing? How many have learned the lesson that the best play is noth- l ing but hard work in which the zest of com petition furnishes the exhilaration? And that the best relaxation is found in changing from one form of activity to another-that the only real hard work is doing nothing?- Muscle Shoals Sunday News. -----~>---------
