snIarie. OF Presidents.

Very few persons would suspect how
small the salaries of presidents OF re
publics are, when the enormous
amounts crowned heads receive are
taken into consideration. The foreign
er often thinks the $4,000 salary of the
president of the United States is merely
joke, and that he receives ten times
as much in reality, but the same for
eigner may not know that the French
president, in country where the
wealthiest monarchs once reigned, re-
eeives only 100000 year. The presi-
dsnt Of the little Andorra republic con
tents himself With a salary Of SIS o
year. and the president OF the Swiss re
public must be satisfied with $1,000

Of ice in such manner as to bruise it

He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds OF liniment and
two and half gallons Of whiskey in
bathing it. but nothing gave any re-

THE ROUNDLAP BALEPRESS

Mr.. L. w. Pratt, Of Huntsville.
Ala Is president of the West
Huntsville Cotton Mill, and oper
ates at the same place one of the
largest ginning plants In the
country. He has been using the
raundlap bale for two years, and
expects to put up 5000 to 10000
bales OF 500 pounds each during
the coming season. MIR. Pratt has
also organized companies for
building two very large roundlap
bale plants at Tuscaloosa and
Demopolis, Al"., and estimates
that he will handle at these two
points this year 10000 to 10000
bales of $50 pounds each. or the
equal Of $4,000 to 10000 square
bales. In letter to the Manufac.
turers' Record. giving his expert
ence with his Huntsville plant,
he says:
