Frank L. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution Troubles all we seem to know,
 Still to crosses clinging, In the bright light signing so
 When a bird is singing! When star shines steadfast-true, All for you-all for you Still the cross, and still the care
 With flowers the way adorning; Roses at the window there,
 Bidding you good morning! With living sky of blue All for you--all for you! Faith and Hope for all the years,
 Solace for the sorrow, Light that wrinkles through your tears
 Message of Tomorrow. Joy of earth and heavens made new All for you- ah for youl

Lines to a Tin Lizzie (By George s. ChAppeI)

Darling, you are growing old,
 And you wear the sears of battle; Something in your manifold
 Sounds like life's expiring rattle. Your ignition spits and halts,
 But hasten, dear, to tell you That with all your many faults
 I shall never, never sell you. No, when your last spark is gone
 And your busy days are ended, You shall stand upon my lawn,
 Filled with blossoms, gently tended.

"An EQuivOcal Stand."-The Sheffield Standard has been calling upon the Birmins- ham News for an unqualified statement of it's position on the Muscle Shoals question: whether thes News favors acceptance of the Ford offer or not. The Birmingham News has made rather definite statements on the subject several times indicating its approval of the Ford offer but there have appeared a number of other editorials on the question that have forced the people of this section to feel renewed doubt as to its real attitude. Such an editorial appeared in the News yesterday. In quite lengthy discussion Of the editorial reaction by the American press," on the failure of congress to deter mine the question there are quotations from q large number of papers, yet not one of the newspapers quoted commented faYorably upon the Ford offer. The article might have led one to assume that the press is Bolidly against the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals. while no such thing is the case. The editO- rial in question shows in itself that it re- quired both time and labor to compile the quotations. which causes the reader to as- sume that the News dedicated considerable time and labor toward creating an unfavor- able impression of the attitude of the press. If that is endorsing the Ford offer, most of the people, h the Muscle Shoals district are red-headed Chinamen. Perhaps the Birming- ham Newssis for the Ford offer somatimea,

More Fruit Trees Needed-The few fruit trees that one sees in drive. over the coun- try give promise of an abundant harvest The pity is there are so few trees planted and cared for in this section As health measure alone there ought to be an orchard and vineyard on every farm. If there want a dollars worth of fruit sold the orchard would be a good investment. If an "apple a day keeps the doctor away it will be found that an abundance of other fruit in season and in cans, will be equally effective. A mil- lion fruit trees and grape vines could well be planted in this county to supply the fruit needed on the farms alone. The soil and cli- matic conditions make it possible to grow q wide variety of fruit here and there is no reason why so important a food product should be left unsupplied.- d.-F1orence Daily News. 4A4, ,.-

Factor in Community Spirit.-Buy hone and encourage home industry is the fine spirit thatzshould possess every community.

Give your merchants chance and if they happen not to have just what you wane we'll guarantee they can get it quicker and better for you than for you to suffer the risk of sending your money away to strangers and running the chance of getting just any old thing in return, prob ably sometimes nothing at all and invariably dissatisfactioh.
