Seattle, Oct. 10, 1926
Now Brother p. Monroe
| have always looked upon you
as IA man of quite varied accom-
plishments, but alack and alas, |
have at last lost confidence
When | hear of a business man
Dragging about his culinary ac-
eomplishments | become bit sus-
picious.
When you actually break into
print, as you did in last week 5
issue of your valued paper under
the titles of Bully for YOU" and
brazenly announce to the world
your recipe for a delicious con
coction stating that you put in
''a layer of meat and then a layer
of dressing, that's too much,
brother P. Monroe, and | confess
that | lose faith entirely.
turn back the hand of time to
the day when | was a young lad
and my father and | were keeping
housa during the absence of my
mother. 1t was the Fall and tine
crops were safely in for the win
ter. We had fine crop of cab
bages and my father determined
that W. would put up a fine barrel
Of Kraut for the winter. He in
quired of neighbor for a good re
ceipt for kraut and was inform
ed that first you washed the barrel
then you cleaned and cut the cab
bage into fine strings, then land
here is the parallel) you put in a
layer of cabbage, then a layer of
salt, a layer Of cabbage and a layer
of salt, and so on until the barrel
Is full. Then set the barrel in al
cool place and, presto, in time your
kraut is finished. We followed
directions implicitly. Two inches
Of cabbage, two inches of salt
Two inches Of cabbage, two inches
Of salt. until the barrel was full.
But in time the Kraut was not
finished and when we triel to eat
it, it nearly finished us We fed
it to our pig and when we butch
cred the animal several weeks la /
fer found to our surprise that our
hog had already turned to salt
pork.
Now, Brother p. Monroe, the
moral of all this is that when a
business man attempts to get out
Of his beaten path of cndcavors
he should be most careful to give
all particulars in detail. This

FOSTER DELAYS SALE
OF A., B. & A. ROAD
ATLANTA Constitution)

Albert Foster, special master for
the federal court for the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad,
announced Wednesday that sale of
that road under foreclosure proceed
ings scheduled for Wednesday,, had
been postponed until Tuesday, June
%. This action was taken at request
of attorneys representing one of the
banking firms which will submit bid
for the properties.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic will be sold under federal
court order to carry out reorganiza-
ton plan which calls for operation
of the line by a company which will
be controlled by the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic has been operated under a re-
ownership for several years. The
new deal will give the line important
railway affiliations, including the At
lantic Coast Line, the Louisville and
Nashville and the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis railroads.
Postponement of the sale was
granted so that one of the bidding
banking firms will have time to pre-
pare it's bid.
The above in part was confirmed
by a special correspondent of the
Leader in the attached telegram re-
ceived Wednesday:
Atlanta, Ga, June 16, 1926.

Our opinion is that the sale will
not be held until after July 18th, the
date set by the Interstate Commerce
Commission for oral arguments be-
fore that tribunal by the representa-
tives of the A., C. L. Railroad Co.,
the prospective bidders for the road.
1t is also probable that the property
will have to be again advertised,
which in that event will defer the
sale of the A, B. & A. to some date
in August. 1t is also indicated in
later dispatches that other interests
are preparing to bid for the road in

ternity.
