The Gorgas Plant of the Muscle
Shoals property has been sold by
mi government to the Alabama
Power Oo M as per a pre-war con
tract. Heury Ford will now have
to revise his bid for Muscle Shoals
if indeed ho wants the property
without the Gorgas Plant.
President Oooledge, after fifty
days in the White House service
finds that his callers talk muoh and
not always accurately. He has
therefore announced very firmly
and flatly that he will be his own
spokesman from now on, and that
nothing counts as far as the Cool-
idge code of principals is concern
ed without the signature or offi
cial authorization oft Calvin Cool-
idge.

A big-game fence 12 miles long,
88 inohos high, and enclosing an
area of approximately 4,000 acres,
which has been under construction
for several years on the northern
part of the Niobrara, Nobr., reser
vation of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, was re
cently completed. A temporary
runway has been built for use in
transferring the game animals
across the Niobrara River from
the smaller enclosures which have
been used up to this time.
A COUNTRY BOY
, A writer on a big oity paper re
cently said; “Tho real life fora
boy is not in a city.”
We’ll say it is not.
He should know of animals, riv-
<ors, plants and that great out of
door life that lays for him the
foundation of his later years.
What memories come to us who
wore so fortunate as to be brought
up in tho country! Many big suc
cessful men have never ceased to
thank God that they privileged to
spend their boyhood life among
the hills, streams and fields. The
pictures that tho country boy
studied aro far more real to him in
later years than the canvases of
the groat masters, which ho has
since enjoyed at the great mu
seums. ,
The scont of tho new mown hay
is all very well in poetry, and it
is a delight to tho city vacationist,
but tell us, dear reader—you who
were brought up on the farm and
who followed the rake with your
bare feet, jumping every now and
then as the now cut stalks piorced
your soles—what wouldn’t you
exchange for those halcyon days?

The girls are starting to wear
artificial eye lashes! They glue
them on their eye lids! When the
girls cry, instead of shedding
tears they will shed eye lashes!
If a girl tries to flirt she is liable
to wink her lashes off! It will now
be very dangerous for a man to
kiss his sweetie! He, will get a
mouthful of eyelashesl Blue laws
are being made. Every girl who
can’t flirt will be given two lashes
upon the first offense and then if
she doesn’t make the mere men
fall sh*e will be doomed to be an
old maid! One wink before the
glue dries and tho flirtation is ail
gummed up!
Things that come easy never
amount to much.
