The cost of living for the past
few years has been steadily adj
vancing. In fact, so materially,
that many people, who. during the
good times, came from the country
to live in town are being forced to
return. The Biblical illustration
Of the seven years of plenty followed
by the seven years of famine. has
been parallelled many times since
by alternate periods Of prosperity
and adversely. The lesson of
providence which that Egyptian
story sought to teach. has never
been thoroughly learned. II it had
destitution and want, brought
about by improvidence, would not
be so evident in the world to-day.

College, at Starkville, last week.
was the greatest in its history, near
900 students being present for
enrolment. The persecution Of
President Hardy last year, out Of
which he came wilh such absolute
vindication. seems TO have given
the people a more thorough know
ledge of him and more compre-
hensive appreciation of the worth
of the college. Father and bachelor
alike are proud of the success of
the school.

tory trip to this point.
Short stops were made at Irondale,
Leeds and Cook Springs, where luncheon

The Birmingham party was enthusiastic
over the trip and are looking forward to
an enjoyable time until the trip is con-
cluded. All along the line great interest
has been manifested in road improve
ments, and this has been largely increased
on account of the good prospects for the
iAtlanta-to- Birmingham highway via Pell
City.
AT 4:45 D. m. DIR. Dedman, president of
the Motor club. had not arrived here. His
car took another route at Bronpton, in
tending to come to Pell City by the Coal

Mr.. Edsall's Speedwel car had taken a
wrong road and was thrown considerably
behind. At $50 the car arrived. Dr. Ded-.
man reported that they had spent con-
siderable time in Investigating possible
routes into Pell City from Brompton.
At sos o'clock, just so minutes behind
the Buick, the Speedwel started off from

who came by way of Pell City, and de-
toured two miles, later retracing in ex-
amining a new road.
The first car to arrive was the Buick
of Steve Smith and party, including Miss
June Jackson, Mrs. j. E. Russell and
Robert Mabry, reaching the city at 6
o'clock. They came by way of Pell City.
The Oldsmobile, containing c. r. Patter-

Among those interviewed were Mayor

whom favored the project
The tourists were met at Greenport and
Truss Ferry by prominent autoists of An
niston and escorted to the city, where
they will spend the night, leaving under
local escort tomorrow morning.
The Ashville route is considered the bet
ter
Due to recent working, the roads were
in bad condition as far as Trussville, but
from this point to Ashville they were in
excellent shape. The new road in this
county will probably rival any in the
state. There were only about two miles
of bad road between Ashville and the
ferry and only about three miles of bad
road from the ferry to Admission. Two
miles west of Admission is an excellent oil
road about 800 yards in length and this
highway is considered to be satisfactory
In every respect. Either route selected,
however, will be good as Steve Smith
stated this evening that the Pell City
road Is like macadamized thoroughfare
for many miles toward this city.
With the exception of a few faulty
bridges the road is eminently satisfactory.
Mr. Smith says that the people along
this route are willing to make the repairs
necessary to improve the road.

Secretary l. +. Lees of the Brook
ings County Fair association makes
the following announcement regard
ing the prizes the association will
offer to the boys and girls Of the
county:
The Brcokings County Fair Asso-
citation, with a view to interesting the
young people of the county in the

a BOYS contest, divided as follows;
list. $4,000; End, $4,000; 3rd, 5000;
4th. $500; 9Th. $1,000; and $4,000
for a girls contest, divided in four
prizes: list, $4,000; 2nd, $500; Ord,
$500; 4th, $1,000.
The prizes are on a basis OF 1000
points, in the boys contest as follows:

Any boy or brothers between the

it is very essential that those who
wish to take part in this contest
next fall look the matter up at once
and thoroughly study the conditions
as set forth in last years premium
lists. If YOU have r"t n of the

The management CT the fair asso-
citation is Offering some very liberal
prizes in this contest and have given
it a great deal of their careful at
tention and liberal consideration and
believe that if our young people in
the county will take hold of this con-
test properly they will realize a great
deal Of benefit regardless Of the cash
prizes offered by the fair association,
The cash prizes themselves are well
worth quite an effort both for the
money received and the satisfaction
and honor that goes with the capture
of such a prize.

MARION HARlANO AND DAME
CURTSEY.

For more than half a century Mar
ion Harland has been writing on
housewifely themes and answering the
questions of women in a clear and
beloved from one end of the land to
the other. Many who read her CHEEKY
and helpful page each week in the
Chicago Sunday Record-IIerald have
no idea that she is II years old, for
she writes with that vigor and dis
cernment of a m of half her
years. Huge as the task may seem,
she gives her personal attention to
the vast correspondence that her posi-
ton Of expert adviser on household
topics involves, and every question
is answered directly by her. No other
department Of the Sunday Record
Herald is more universally popular
than hers.
Another department that pushes it
closely, however, is Dame Curtsey's
Novelties in Entertainment" which
has been hailed with joy by thou
sands of hostesses who feel the need
of a few new ideas. Dame Curtsey,
whose real name is Ellye Howell
Glover. seems to have a genius for
inventing fresh schemes for decora-
tons. menus. games and all the de-
tails that lend zest to dinners and
entertainments. She also answers
questions pertaining to etiquette and
good taste, and otherwise furnishes
just the information so often sought
vainly by ome
When it is added that the Sunday
Magazine of the Record-Herald is full
of good stories and articles as inter
esting to women as to men, it is easy
to see why that paper is a favorite
