WALLACE TALKS
 ABOUT FORESTRY
ADVISES PEOPLE TO ENGAGE IN PRACTICAL FOREST OR TIMBER ULTURE-TREES ESSENTIAL TO PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

Montgomery, June 6.-(Special. )-The quite active in the promulgation of edu- cational propaganda relative to the i'm rortance of preserving the remaining for est of this state from destruction and likewise in encouraging the people to en. gage in practical forest or timber cul- ture," says John H. Wallace, Jr., state game and fish commissioner. ''The laws of this state for the protection of for ests have been used by the forestry bu- reau at Washington as the model of all legislation yet passed on this sub Ject
 Tt is a palpable fact that upon the preservation of forests depends the peace, the happiness and prosperity of the peo- ple. Many of the ancient countries that were formerly populous and prosperous that have now been entirely denuded of trees have become almost as uninhabit- able as the Sahara desert
 "trhe reason for this is simple. When the forests are cut away, the country is subjected to floods and likewise drouth It has been found that the destruction 0. the forests causes the water to rush rap idly down the hillsides, thence into the creeks and on to the rivers, causing floods and great destruction to life and prop erty The water ~ries with it the rich soil, leaving bare the untillable and un- productive earth. The ground rapidly dries and bakes and no moisture is left in the earth to extend sustenance to growing vegetation. Were the forests left standing at the heads of rivers the water would gently soak into the leaves and rich loam and then gradually dis tribute itself into the streams. tloods ill up the channels of rivers, causing sandbars which result in detriment to navigation.
 ''The old countries-notably Greece and italy-are replanting the forests at the cost of s2O per acre. By taking time py the forelock the people of Alabama can be spared the penalties incident to an obliteraton of the forests.
 ..The greatest agent O. destruction to growing timber is in forest fires, which rot only destroy every tree to the age of three years, but scar the others 70 he extent of impairing their growth and utility.
 "Realizing the fact that no statute can he made effective unless committed to a specially constituted constabulary TOT enforcement the game wardens of this state have been made forest wardens, whose duty it is to prosecute all persons who violate the forestry laws Of this state. This statute has had most salu- tary effect on the situation and several convictions have been had under 1t.
 ''The state commission of forestry IS taking the matter of forest preservation up with the various county officials and those in the state known to be interested n the problem with the hope that thelr cordial cooperation may be eiicited.

WATER COMPANY
 MAKES AN OFFER Will Sell Plant to GadSden
 for $62,OOO PROPOSITION IS DECLINED Bonds May Be Issued For Building or Buying Plant-Tax Rate Must
 Be ncreased-Tribes
 Will PoW-WoW.
PROPOSITION IS DECLINED

Gadsden, June 6.-(Special) At a meet ing of the City Council last night the present owners of the old water plant made overtures to the city for the pur- pose of either selling the plant to the city or securing a new contract for the fur 1sishing of the city water and operating the plant themselves. The price fixed for the plant was S62, 900 and the offer was promptly turned down by the council.
 A few weeks ago the property was offered for $4O,O0O and the city fathers do not see why it is worth more than at that time. As a result of the agita- ton the council has decided to call an election to increase the tax rate of the city one-fourth of one per cent for the purpose of guaranteeing the payment of interest on the $10OOOO bond issue author ized some time ago, but which has as yet failed to find a satisfactory market
 It is contended that if this extra tax is authorized the bonds will sell for par very readily. If these bonds can be sold the city will then be in a position to either buy the old plant and rebuild it or con- struct a new one outright. As the mat ter now stands the city could not buy ne plant at any price if cash payment
 demanded. For this reason many are ot the opinion that the offer to sell is made at this time Knowing that the city cannot buy and as a basis for the effort to secure a new contract with the city; that the owners of the plant do not want to sell and are merely making the offer to strengthen their position for future demands. Municipal ownership in Gads- den has been an issue for a number of years and from present indications the end of the road has not yet been reached.
 At Reid's mill 12 miles south of this city, in Calhoun county, Clifford Hen dricks, a negro, was shot and killed by R. J. Berry, by whom he was employed. The killing occurred yesterday afternoon and witnesses to the affair say that Berry did the shooting in self defense. Berry has been arrested and taken to Anniston for trial.
 Plans have been perfected for the hold ing of a big celebration by the Red Men on July 12 at Elliott park. Ten tribes will be present and participate in the pow-wow. The exercises will be public and many palefaces will no doubt be present and enjoy the festivities. The programme for the day has not as yet been fully prepared, but it is the Intention to have an address by one of the high officials of the order. There will also be sports of all kinds, including a ball game in the afternoon.

There are hundreds of fat people who positively do not believe it. And they die re- fusing to believe it. At first there is fiabby fat and then it grows solid. This solid fat accumulates especially around the heart; and although the heart beats, it beats with difficulty, until finally it will skip beat now and then, then skip two beats, and when it skips more than that-Well you will be already stone dead. These are facts. Startled relatives before whom fat victims have smiled one minute and died the next, can testify to it. 1t is not a laughing matter.
 If you are victim of this terrifying ever-growing disease you can save yourself from the day you begin to, use Rengo.

Montgomery, June 7.-(Specal.)- eX- ceedingly interesting report with regard to the position of attorney general is going the rounds to the effect that Will Hodge Sanford of Troy will be a can didate.
 Tt has been pretty well understood for some weeks that Thomas w. Martin, assistant attorney general, and son of former Speaker Martin, would seek the honor, although he has not definitely said so.
 Thomas l.. Bulger of Dadeville is an outspo1en candidate and Harry Inge of Mobile indicated early in the year that he had ambitions along that line.
 This would present about as complicated a good natured contest as one would care to see. Every fellow has his particular line of inf1uence.- every fellow Is a good lawyer, and every fellow will be able to poll large strength.
 However, it has been understood for some time that Sanford had ambitions to succeed MT. Wiley in Congress, and of late it was rumored that he wanted to be Governor before he got too old to enjoy it. Which ever one of these stories is true, it seems to be now pretty well established that the enterprising son of former chief executive has ambitions to find out just what the people think about him an aspirant for public office. He is a Mason. a member of the Knights of Pythias, leading influence in the Methodist church, member of the commission to build a new woman's col lege at Montgomery, and a lawyer with a practice, all of which will make him a hard proposition for the other ambitious ones to handle.
