The fruit crop throughout this section this year is almost a complete failure. The early peach and apple crop is the shortest hereabouts that it has been in a number of years. The crop got by the late frosts all right, but just about the time when it began to ripen a kind of rot took hold of it and a very large part of the fruit was lost. Some said it was due to the 13ry weather while others did not attempt to offer a reason. The strawberry crop was also very short, along with wild plums. There is said to be an abundance of blackberries now rinoninrr on/1 .. uiiu uic large part of the canning done in this section will be of the latter variety of berries. IAUTOMOBIL DOES YOOR CAR ?

Henry Ford is not the only man who is seeking just now to get money consolation from a newspaper for aayintfspma harsh things About his brand of patriotism. Down in the State of Alabama Representative Hyddleston has been grieved both by editorial articles and cartoons in the -Birmingham : Age - Herald, which in his opinion impugned his localty to an intolerable degree. but the Congressman's sufferings must have been less keen than those of Mr. Ford, for he sued for a mere $50,000 instead of a whole million. ^When the auit came up. for trial the other day it terminated for the present in a truly curious Pt/l?rAVS ivIvlvHv* AJI^VCU U1 tur JUXUiO had been accepted, and then the opposing counsel fell into a bitter squabble over the competence of the potential twelfth, it having been charged that the man j had referred to Mr. Huddleston as "a Socialist, a Bolshevik, a; traitor to his party, and a traitor to his country." In behalf of the plaintiff, it was contended. ( not without some show of plausibility, that these characteriza-' tions hinted- prejudice, and while ; the lawyers were-arguing the! the question the chosen eleven i were sent out of the courtroom. What did they do to beguile the! tedium ' of lonely sequestration | but join in singing loudly our national anthem. At any rate, that is what they attempted, and whoever will may ' believe that in Birmingham eleven men selected not only for vocal ability and knowledge of poetry really sang "The Star Spangled Banner." At any rate the judge trusted the affirmation of his own or other ears that this was what the the jurors had done, on the ground that thus they had disclosed an incompetence to try the case fairly, he declared a misstrial and dismissed them! Just why he did so is not made evident by the information at hand, and his action therefore cannot here be explained. It must remain a cause for wonder till more facts arrive. Notice of Ejection.
