Little Fruit This Year.
The fruit crop throughout this

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.

A Striate Sifi if Prejudice. .
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.

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.
