.She was the wife* of a Monroe
county fanner. Ir< reply to a
question as to whether she was
disturbed about the war across
the water, she replied: “Why,
if I didn’t see it in the papers, I
really wouldn’t know that the
war wa going on. It hasn’t
affected us one particle. We
raise our own meat, don’t have
to buy any lard, we’ve plenty of
fruit in the orchard, even now,
and have an abundance of vege
tables in the pardon we’ve raised
enough oats and corn and
forage for the stock, we’ve
ground our own meal and have
flour from our own wheat; indeed,
we have learned to live at home
and since we’ve had to buy noth
ing in the way of food, how could
the war afTect us?” Os course,
there are not as many of the
“live at home” farmers in this
county as there should be. Hut
the idea is dawning on the peo
ple that the ones who are not dis
turbed by the war and the conse
quent economic changes are those
who are prepared.—Monroe Ad

Winter Cabbage Big
Item in P'arm Profits.
Quitman, Ga., Oct. 16. There
is one farmer in Brooks county
who says his winter cabbage crop
is about the biggest .item in his
farm profits and he esteems it
more highly than his cotton crop.
This is A. J. Powell of Dixie,
who is probably the pioneer truck
farmer of the county. He has
raising cabbage along with other
truck crops for the past fifteen
years. This fall he has planted
ten acres in cabbage, nearly
doubling his usual acreage be
cause he had a great many more
orders last season than he could
fill.
After gathering his cabbage
crop in the spring, Mr. Powell
plants cotton on the land without
using any more fertilizer and
makes one bale to the acre. His
usual plan is to plant oats on the
land one fall, the next fall he
plants cabbage and follows with
cotton in the spring. He rotates
his crops and does not use the
same land again for cabbage in
side of two years on account of
the insect pests.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR —THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1915
Called Negro, Sues
Lodge; Gets 53,800.
Bristol, Term., Oct. 14. —IS.
Cousins, a locomotive engineer,
in the employ of the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio Railway, has
been awarded damamages of
$3,800 against the Clinchfield
lodge of the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers at Erwin,
Tenn., as the result of a suit in
the Federal Court at Greenville,
Term., near here.
Cousins, it appears from evi
dence adduced, had been accused
in correspondence by an officer
of the Clinchfield lodge of having
negro blood, and for this reason
officers of the lodge demanded
that he be removed from a pre
ferred to a nonpreferred run.
The railway company, it is stated,
complied with the demands of
the lodge, and this led to a suit
for damages. The jury decided
that Cousins was white and ren
dered its verdict for libel accord
ingly. Cousins sued for $15,000.
Use of Wireless has
Saved Many Lives.
Washington, I)., C. Oct. 15. —
Aid rendered by the federal ra
dio service to American ships
which met with accident or dis
aster during the past fiscal year
resulted, with hut one exception,
in the loss of only two lives. The
exception was the Lusitania,
which was torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine.
Reports to the bureau of navi
gation show that twenty-six ves
sels left American ports and re
el uired the use of wireless to
summon help. Os that number
four caught fire, twelve ran
ashore, stranded, or got into an
ice jam; three broke down; five
were in collisions; one was storm
battered or water-logged and one
was torpedoed.
Every 15-inch Shot Uses
One Bale of Cotton.
London, Oct. i f—Every time a
fifteen-inch gun is fired a bale of
cotton weighing 500 pounds is
blown away.
A single projectile from a fif
teen-inch naval gun weighs 950
pounds.
All the parks, gardens and
available open spaces of Vienna

It Always Helps M
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
Ca tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use BQO
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill nie. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardqi, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.

and it always does me good.”
