and loyalty to the small son of the

Kills Two important Measures

The senate has practically killed
two of the important house measures,
These are the Massachusetts ballot
law and the maximum freight law
The house passed both of these meas
ures with a large vote; in fact, prac
tically unanimously, and the senate
committees in effect killed both of
them. The senate elections commit
tee refused to report the new ballot
law at all The railroad committee
reported the maximum freight rate bill
without any recommendation and it
went to the foot of the calendar.

vides for filing statements, but not pub

Used Cuticura: No Scar Left.

my baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full Of
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
a week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and l thought
the baby was disfgured for life. l
used about three boxes Of Cuticura

it healed. In about five weeks it was
better and there wasn't mark to tell
where the scald had been. Her skin

A man in one state who stole three
chickens was sentenced to a year in
prison. A man in another state who
choked his baby to death because it's

And so justice proceeds on its even

in all its pictures its scales are sig

true this way of testing theories is
more or less conclusive, but the
trouble is that when decided in the
negative, it is as conclusive for the
theorist as for the theory.

WOMEN SHOWN WARES
MONTGOMERY PRODUCTS ExHIB-
 TIED AT COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Part of City Boosting Campaign and Housewives Are Interested In What They See
 and Hear,

An exhibition of Alabama products and Montgomery goods of a wide range of variety was held in the rooms of the Commercial Club Friday afternoon for the benefit of Montgom- cry housewives.
 Daring the hours the exhibition was open. more than 150 women of Mont gomery visited the club rooms and examined the various products of Ala bama growing, making and ingenuity. Secretary Hyman. of the club, gave a talk on the advantages of buying Ala bama goods and the patriotic signifi- canoe of patronixing Montgomery manufacturers and retailers. A num- Der of local firms were included in the exhibits shown and samples of Montgomery made goods were distrib- uted. The event was one of the most successful of its kind held in this city.
 The whole afafir is a part of the policy being advanced by the Com mercial Club to recommend and in- troduce Montgomery-made goods to local consumers. It Is believed that there are good points about Mont gomery-made goods. that. perhaps, are not generally known and that. when known. will result in larger and more generous patronage of home firms.
 It is probable that successive exhi- bitions of this kind will be held by the club during the winter.

Back to the Farm .

Chattanooga News.
 Farming Is the greatest industry tr the world. All others depend upon IL You stop the farms of this country for one year and you would close down every factory in the land, unless sup plies to feed the men and beasts could be brought from foreign countries. We need to cultivate closer trade relations with farmers and to encourage larger acreage, or better cultivation, so thas we can get more from the farms. Ev- anywhere in this nation where people congregafe in large numbers we hear the cry of high prices for the neeessa- ris of life. chiefly the products or the farms. The population is evidently in- farm production. We have two men bidding for one bushel of wheat. one of corn and a pound of meat. This Is, in great measure, why prices are high on prices, but the facts are that we are not producing enough on our farms to feed the millions of the world.
 Young men ought to be encouraged to go back to the farm. Tnousenas or years to struggle for living. Some of them keep their heads abovA watert others do not. No tntelligentNyounE man, if he has energy. can fail to make money on farm when prices are at the present high level. or anywhere in that neighborhood. We should reclaim impoverished, worn-Out farms an0 make them produce something. IL is not a hard thing to do. now that the Government has spent many millions of dollars in educational work. We know better how to improve our farm lands than we ever did. and by applying modern methods to farming, our lands can be made to produce a great deal more than we are getting from them now There are millions Of acres of idle land in the South that could soon be made to produce gocd crops under proper treatment. We regard the im- provement of these lands and the pro- duction of larger crops as one of the necessities of the time. The United States should never become ap importer of farm products

With defeat star ing them in the face, the Tuskegee team refused to go by the ruling of the referee. claiming the safety a touchback. and walked off the field State Normal won the toss and chose to kick off. Owing to the soft ground long gains were Impossible and fum- bles were frequent Each side was held for downs many times, but the playing was mostly in Tuskegee's ter ritory. Only once during the half was the local goal in danger and that came after three penalties in success sion of fifteen yards each. With the ball on their fiye-yard line, the State boys line held like a brick wall. The half ended nothing to nothing with the ball in the middle of the field. The second half was repetition of the first. and the contest developed into a bunting affair. The State elev- en plowed through the visitors line at will. but were unable to pull off a successful end run. However, they worked the forward pass and made some good gains in this way. The de- fensive work of the State team was particularly strong.
 After ten minutes of play in this half, the State team carried the ball 1 to Tuskeegee's fifteen-yard line where they were held for two downs. The local quarterback tried an off-side kick on the next play. The ball roll- ed toward the goal line when a Tus- kegee player grabbed it and the safe- ty followed
