"The forthcoming meeting of the Alabama Commercial and Industrial As- sociation," said a member of the Mont gomery Association, "glves promise of being one of the most important aS- semblies of business men ever held in this State.
 The meeting will be held in Decatur, beginning on November fth, and con- tinues two days Representatives of every commercial organization in Ala bama will be present and it is expected that more real good will come from the meeting than from any like gathering of men in recent years.

scHnnL RnnKs AGAIN

Again the annual school book ques- tion comes to the front. as it always does when the schools open. The Chat tions in Tennessee and tells us that the head of family put two of his children in a public school in this County the first of the week. They had some books that could be used i; others had to be bought. A list, of books to be purchased for them was supplied by the teacher. It amounted in exact figures to $446 apiece, or $s.92 for the two children. This list did not include pencils. tablets and states. which added made about s9.6o as a to- tai expense for a start" Then The Nashville Banner adds this:
 While the authorities in various States have regulated the price of school books to some extent, 1t would seem that the sum a man has to pay for the books that his children use in the various grades of the city schools are enormous. In many instances the books for one grade would eat into the people of the city whose children need the advantages of public school edu- cation, until there would be scarcely any left. If the poor man is blessed with three or four children-and most of them are-then he would have to go broke. provided he had three or four of his family in the higher grades of the Eleventh B grade alone would cost over $l3.40, and there is no getting around 1t. The kind of books, pencils. paper and slate Is designated, and any other "just-as-good" kind will find no favor.
 A prominent book seller said today that the lower grades in the public schools had to have a certain kind of pencil and a certain kind of eraser, and the high school pupils still another

he must oppose every effort of tho
former to increase the reward for
his labor.
In this the manufactures is mis-
taken. His best interest lies in
reasonable and STEADY prices
prices that enable him to make
his own prices with safety, and TO
gauge his output with certainty.
Thus is the farmers movement to
control the prices of his products
as much in the interest of the
consumer of those products as il
is in his own, and should cement
the friendship between them that
would never have been broken but
for the Goddess greed that, came
between them. The producer of
the raw material and the manu-
facturer that converts it into
things of use are logical friends,
and their friendship must be re-
stored, and it will be by the con-
trolled marketing proposed by the
farmers, and the steady prices
that must result therefrom.

his pride to provide for her-or her sex

A woman is not wasteful in small
things, but man is. Who, then, is so
adapted to utilize the small space
which constitutes the average house :?
A house can be the visible expression
Of her cleverness, her economy, her
taste and her common sense. 1t will
give her an opportunity to be great In
the minor aspirations. -
When she builds a house she will put
herself in the place Of that other wom-

1t is best to be sure of the ground

something that happened to him
when, in the self confidence of his
youth, he was prospecting near what
is now Leadville. He had been after
load of supplies and rode into
camp alone at noon one day. 1t
was no uncommon thing for stran-
ger to come to camp and wait for
the owners return, so the pros
pector was not surprised to see a
man sitting at the door of the rough
hut or shelter.

the guest, | cast the lash rope from
the pack and called him to help re-
move the load. He responded cheer
