 The Fish Pond Idea. sfe don't think Mir. Quinn should push this fish pond on every farm idea of his. It sounds all right and might be good thing, but it is hard matter to cultivate the farms at this season of the year, with great deal less than a pond to the farm.-Dothan Eagle.
 Reasons to Stay at Home.-Most people in Talladega have just been saying, if we had good water, we would prefer to stay at home than go anywhere. She now has the good water, and already had both a good summer and winter resort at home, and it's going to be hard to get SO many away this year.-Talladega Daily Home.
 The Boys Keeping Up.--Who saidlthe girls were so far ahead of the boys in school now adays. The graduating class of the Butler County High had only two more girls than boys out of total of thirty-six; boys outnum- bered girls seven to five in the Mckenzie High senior class, and at Georgiana the boys were in the lead.-Greenville Advocate.
 Want Action, Not Argument.-The peo- pie in the South are not so much interested in the controversy in congress over the dis position of Muscle Shoals as they are that something will be done some time or other with the plant that will be of real industrial value to this section of the country. While politicians have been debating and quibbling over the question the South has lost millions of dollars. What is wanted and wanted ve- hemently is action, not argument.-Dadeville Spot Cash.
 Opportunity for OfficiaIs.-Mr. Officers, executive and enforcing here's your oppor- tunity to have clean town by enforcing the law to the letter. It is time for the boot leggers and the gamblers to move on. Their patrons and sympathizers can get little com fort here because an outraged public senti- ment is getting ready to exert itself, and un- less there is material change for the better, there is going to be some plain speaking out in open meeting. Huntsville Times. Child Labor 8 State Matter.-The pro- posed child labor amendment must be sub- mitted to the state for ratification before such an amendment to the constitution of the United States will .evef be brought to pass. Alabama, which has a law that is among the best regarding the matter, will surely never approve this step. While the state law may be improved upon, it stands | out as one of the best in the country and it will be improved upon by the state as time 1 tion of the labor of children is necessary to l and experience teach the need. The regula- prevent abuse, but this is a state matter and not one for the federal government to l direct -Gadsden Times-News
 Proud of It's Aid.-At a meeting of deIsl- onstration agents, farm bureau officials and editors, held in Mobile, cooperation of the press in aiding tn eyarious agricultural agen- cies of the state was pledged. The Standard is proud of the fact that it has been doing just this in consistent manner for more than year now. And, according to off. cials of the farm bureau in this county the work of this newspaper has been an inval. uable aid to them in carrying out their pro- gram.-Brewton Standard.
 Gossip COmpetes With NeWs-Although the nearest paper is published sixteen miles | from here, we have plenty of competition in spreading the news-but most of it is the kind we wouldnt publish, anyway Lawrence County Times.
 Annistoh Greets Those in Camp.-This simmer Anniston will show in even broader and more earnest way it's desire to | have those in camp feel that they are ill | the hands of friends, that they are a part | of Annston and that Anniston people greet them not as visitors, but as friends and comrades. This spirit of hospitality will not be shown to one organization more than to another; it will be general and genuine and will embrace all organizations and all Ltrainees who come toAathe big training camp during the season. The work of the citizen military training camps has been so success full that their permanency is now assured. Camp Mcclellan is one of the very best and is becoming one of the largest of the big training camps. The camp is Anniston's big summer asset and as such it is fully appre- ciated.-Anniston Star.
 Chance for Valley Farmers.-Not much of the grain grown here-not so much as there ought to be. Wheat is not much of crop itself-especially in these days of low com I parative price-but it is an excellent cover crop and a good nurse crop for the grass and clover. For both of which reasons we ought to grow more of it here. A crop of wheat and clover sown together holds the soil the first winter, gives a grain crop and pasture the first season and two cuttings of hay, or one cutting of hay and a crop of clover seed, the second. And the clover mean while stores nitrate in the soil. So while wheat in itself is not an attractive proposi- tion, in connection with the clover it makes good ratation and should find more favor with the farmer of the Tennessee Valley where the soil is heavy enough for growing it and clover successfully.
