OF !; STATE CAPITAL
tsTATE CaPIrAI. nUREAU,

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 26.- Representative w. 0. Walton of Chambers county is authority for the statement that farmers of his county are planting more cotton and using more fertilizers than ever before in the county's history. Representative Wal ton, who is World war veteran, and among the most popular of the younger generation of law makers in Alabama, was visitor to the state capital We'd nesday.
 At the last legislative session, Mir. Walton attracted attention with a sev- erance tax bill, which found many sup porters, although the time was too short to enact it into law. He is still a strong believer in the severance tax, and is providing more money for edu- cation without calling on the already burdened property owner to pay still more. The spectacle of rural schools closing after terms of five, six or seven months each year instead of going nine, is one of the most unfortunate features of country life in Alabama today, in Mfr. Walton's opinion.
 Speaking of developments in Cham bers county, Mir. Walton mentioned the $170,000 elementary and high school at Lanett, and the new $30, 900 hotel at Lafayette.

 One of the most attractive points about the, state capital to visitors from over Alabama and other states is the Confederate. monument on the north lawn. Visitors with notebooks may ire quently be seen making an inspection of the historic shaft. State Superin- tendent of Insurance Frank N. Julian, formerly of Sheffield, whose office is in the wing of the capital nearest the monument, points with pride to the fact that like himself, the monument base and shaft is a Colbert county product. It was quarried from the Fessick quar- ries at Ingleton in Colbert county, and is of the type known as golitic lime Stone t.' st

is out and a hit is a piece of food.
When the food is all gone the game is
called.
Parents Get Theirs
"Of course, the parents play their
own little game. The father takes
handful OF food and throws it to the
ceiling. Whatever doesn't come down
belongs to the mother. The mother.
of course. is quite a good sport and is
usually willing to wait six or eight
months until the top Of the cave be-
comes muddy enough for food to stick
there.
THE ground hog is unique in the
manner Of catching its food alive.
The ground squirrel. as you can per
oeive by the similarity between the
names, is a distant relative but never
theless Isl considered the best food.
The squirrel is chased up a tree and
all the family stands around with
knives, making passes at the tree as
though to cut it down. This worries
the squirrel If continued long
enough it worries him to death and the
food is at hand"

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-F'or a young
fellow trying to get along and learn

surprisingly well.
In his career OF fifteen years Dun
dee has fought 300 times. over this
stretch, Signor Corrora, as Johnny
is known in the real estate business,
has spent most of his time beating the
man in the ring with him.
Friday night in Madison Square
Garden Dundee knocked Pal Moran, a
young italian from New Orleans, right
out Of a fight with Benny Leonard and
set him back from purse that would
have been fancy.
Dundee demonstrated that while Mo-
ran could out-slug hitter like Charlie
! White and stop a partially blind Shu-
grue, he had yet TO learn how to fight
an old man whose brain still works in
high.
Dundee won a flfteen-round decision
from Moran, and the only yelp about
the unanimous vote Of the two judges
and the referee were the wise birds
who had to 8 that Dundee couldn (
win.
Moran finished with a burst Of
speed. He all but stopped Dundee
in the fourteenth round with a volley
of nght-handers, but Dundee knew
how to hold and cover up and he
weathered the storm.
Dundee won eight rounds of the
| fight by a decisive margin.

But why" the Reporter asked.
does the grounding go back into his
hole when he sees his shadow" The
Reporter felt there had never been
enough light shed upon the genuine
reason for the Feb 2 phenomenon.
Prof. Reginald Goofus started
counting the warts on a pickle that he
was eating. 1t was his way of con-
centrating.
Simplicity itself" he said at last,
looking at the Reporter with a bright
CLEAN in his eye. THE creature is at
once gregarious and temperamental.
He comes from his hole and sees his
shadow. Being a gregarious animal
he speaks to it. It does not reply. Be
ing a temperamental animal he re-
turns 10 his hole, considerably piqued
at the slight. What could be more
logical?"
Interesting History
The professor took another drink OF
polarine and continued in a smooth,
oily voice:
His history is especially interest
ing He was first known to the civi
lied world when he was captured
nine miles from land or water on
the borders of the Sahara desert,
swinging from limb to limb on a straw
berry tree 1t was peculiar to notice
at that time that he could eat, sleep,
drink and chew his own food.
Then the strength of the animal
seemed to decline. Where at first the
member Of a. family would call Pee
Wee to its mate, 1t became necessary
at last for one to say Pee and the
other to say Wee and in latter years
the recognition is mere gesture with
the paw.
Feeding Of their young is a prob
lem that has puzzled scientists Of all
ages. There is rarely enough food to
go around the family of ordinary size.
The children pick sides with the father
as pitcher for both. One child goes to
bat, as it were, with the mother catch.
