 l QHhI0Ns OF OTHER EDITORS To Have Chickens and Eggs.-The people are going to put the poultry business on the map in Dale county. Those in charge of the sign-up campaign are having no trouble in getting people to sign the contract, It means more chickens and eggs with better prices than ever obtained in the county Ozark Southern Star.
 Should Treat Elm Rough.-The estab- ishment of a whipping law for handling the cases of boys that are too young to be sent to the chain gang for committing petty acts would go long way toward curbing the ac- tivities of boys who are continually getting into devilment. Usually such boys have had little restraint thrown around them at home, and you can expect nothing from them. Huntsville Star.
 | Enforcing the Sunday Laws.-It is be- coming apparent, The Journal is glad to ob- serve, that the recent move to enforce the Sabbath observance law is not spasmodic, nor of the periodic kind. It is to become permanent policy in Etowah county. As | q rule, these efforts to enforce the Sunday laws are short-lived and soon forgotten. But fortunately the judicial circuit, of which
 
 judges who believe that the law was placed on the statute books to be enforced at all times, and not at certain periods Gadsden Journal. eft E The Farmer to Be on Top.-It is but nat ural to reason that id due time, farm prod ucts are going to become scarce on account of farms being abandoned and farmers being attracted to the higher wages of the indus A&~V~ r. Il IA increased demand due to the constantly growing population, means better times ahead. The depression is only temporary. The law of compensations is going to bring the pendulum back. All farmers need to do is to be optimistic and keep begging away. There is a better day coming-and when it comes the tiller of the soil is going to be sitting on top of the world where he be- longs.

 3 Hot Weather and, Cotton-Hot weather may be a little ineonvenient to every one, but we should all act-like we enjoyed it. It is the making of a cotton crop in Dixie land, and without it; and lots of it, there will be but little cotton made. Weather forecasters have said that we are in for dry spell of weather during the next few weeks, and if that prediction comes true, it will add millions of bales to the expected cEOp, ana cut 1eW D1iilOn WeeF1lS out 'OI a. job. Every cotton farmer knows the impor- tance of working the cotton rapidly, shals- ing off as many weevils as possible, and covering them with little hot sand. They can't stand hot sand.-Dothan Eagle.
 The Really Vital Thing.-Nor are the Ten nessee Valley folks the only ones who are determined that the fight shall not be aban- doned. Indications now are that when con- gress does take up the Muscle Shoals ques- tion for final disposition, the fight for the Ford bid will be stronger and made more determinedly than it ever has been. But this does not mean that friends of the Ford offer will be crushed if Ford does not get the Shoals. Deep seated desire for a settle ment of the question, irrespective of the Ford bid, or any other bid, is growing. What most is wished by the public generally is that the Muscle Shoals project will be de- benefit of. industry, Agriculture and com. msrce. This is the really vital thing. An- niston Star.
 Trickery Cannot Stop live doubt whether any one thing in the history of our state has advertised Alabama more than the greatest of all assets--Muscle Shoals It is the largest and most significant industrial project in the world, No one who has never had the opportunity to see It ana go over 1t has any idea just what is meant by Mus cle Shoals" and the possibilities that lie 7 dormant in that part of North Alabama. No where in the world does such a combination exist as at this place. Here we have al- most a million horsepower, with, iron ore, coal, phosphate rock.. bauxite and lime in abundance and all on river that is part of the longest inland river system in the world. All the political trickery that can, be brought to bear cannot keep this dis trict from reaping the benefits of this wor- / e.-Scottsboro Progressive Age. <
