the second day of the Tri-state Grain

the second day of the Tri-State Grain
Growers convention passed into history.
While the day was nominally turned
over for the discussion Of crop rotation
on which some excellent addresses were
delivered, the interest conferred in the
address delivered by United States Sem
ator Porter J. McCumber who held the
very closest attention of the immense
audience which packed the opera house,
while he dealt with the question Of
Federal inspection. weighing and grad
ing Of grain. The attendance far
exceeded the thousand mark and from
the appearance of the incoming trains
there will be an appreciative increase.
The hotel Hobbies were packed and the
only topic of conversation was the
address delivered by Senator McCum-
Der. That he won the admiration of
his auditors with the manner in which
he dealt with the present manner of
robbing the farmers through inspection,
was quite evident"

column of items of '43 Years Ago"

ment was the following item concern
ing the completion of the railroad to
Cresco:
Our road (the McGregor Westerly is
now finished to Cresco, singularly
named town near the county seat of
Howard county, and about 65 miles
from McGregor. Supt. Strong tenders
to three or four hundred of the people
of that region-all his cars will carry
free ride to McGregor and back on
the Goth of this month. The people of
McGregor propose to meet their west
ern friends with streamers, flags and
bands of music; to escort them to the
spunkiest little city in the northwest;
to give them the best picnic dinner
the country will afford; to show them
the best Hall for dancing that was ever
made west of the Mississippi, the Cam
brianto join them in cotillion, waltz and
polka, friendly and socially, and so far
as possible convince them that this
river city is alive to the interest of its
western acquaintances.

At Rest.

Ruth Elenor Evans, little daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert r. Evans,
was born July 10th, 1907 and died at
her home three miles north of Bonair
Thursday evening Nov. 4, 1909, age 2
years, 3 months and 16 days. Although
in care of the best medical skill avail
able she passed to her Heavenly home
after period of six days of patient
suffering.
All who knew her knew but to love
her. Although but child, her pleas
ant disposition and loving smiles
brought untold JOY to her parents and
friends.
Why she should have been taken
from us so soon we cannot understand.
But He who sent the solitary reaper to
ebb away this young life understandeth
the secret of all things mysterious.
In the poem below was expressed
the wishes and sentiments of parents
and relatives by whom she was known
as Our Ruth.
OUR LITTLE RUTH.
Our Ruth has gone, our dear little rose,
Who was loved by all as every one knows;
beautiful face with its cheeks of pink
She was certainly jewel so every one thinks
We hadn't thot of her going you know,
But the going of pleasure isn't oft times slow
| Still she is gone and gone to stay
The wish is ours that we may see her SOM
| day.
The future we had planned for our little one
| Whose dear young life had just begun;
| Was one that we had hoped might be fai
| and bright,
| With naught but sunshine her life to blight
SO as our dear little rose had begun to grow
| And shot out her branches so tender an,
slow;
We had hoped they might twine and grow
| so tall,
| That naught could harm the blossom small
From parents was taken dear little guest,
Into the hands of Him who knoweth best;
Just how her little feet to guide,
From all her trials that had betide.
E. VIC.
The funeral services were held a
the German Evangelical church, con
Quoted by Rev. Schwab of Cresco.
Many floral tributes arranged by
loving hands were fitting emblems o
her sweet little life. The remains wer,
laid at rest in Cedar Hill cemetery fol
lowed by large concourse of mourn
ing relatives and friends. A fathe
and mother, four grand parents,
great grandfather, nine aunts, 81,
uncles, and three cousins are left t,
mourn her loss.

Reading our exchanges from various sections of the Union convinces us that Alabama is not the only State to be overridden by freak legislation. for It Is present in many others. On this subject The Roanoke Wa, News says
 "The people of nearly every State in the Union are dreadful of the approach of a session of the Legislature, because of this mad desire which has seized up- on legislators to put through some sta tutory enactment that will bring to the representative introducing 1t q no- toriety as a statesman in the estima; representative today is the one who goes to the Legislature with no bill In his pocket, having an avowed deter ta if fbs dey9ts Knf ms of fool Siia
 That conception of "the ideal repre- sentative is decidedly good one. but we incline to the opinion that such q man would feel exceedingly lonesome in any legislative body these days. The average legislator seems to think 1t his duty to introduce as many bills as pos- sible. with little pr sno regard to pro- pIiety, necessity or. consistency. The natural result is that unwise, ill-di- gested and often hurtful laws tumbI Ie over each other in their haste to get to a complaisant Governor for his en- dorsement and signature. The further result Is that our statute books are loaded down with Jaws that are or no benefit to State or people and no credit to the men who enact them. Win this mania for Iegislating on all subjects ever run it's course and sanity again control Legislatures?

 I hear complaints on every hand by to push their business. IFknow this to be the case with the country banker and think 1t Is also true of the city banker. e.
 In my recent trip of 5000 miles through the West I sought an expla- nation of this. and owing to the fact that was President of the Alabama Bankers Association. the bankers of the West sought to give me enlighten- me- among many things. that they had more money on deposit than ever be- fore. and that their country had for gotten there was a panic in 1917. Now why is the West prosperous and we are not. do. not believe they have the best country, I honestly think ours has greater opportunities and re- sources.
 Why cannot banker in Alabama
 "A banker Is an arbitrator between capital seeking Investment and labor seeking capital"
 Therefore, for the banker to push his business there must be an inflow fo new money seeking investment and of new people seeking employment.
 "Restraint of trade and dimfnution of employment go hand in hand"
 Therefore. the banker has least trator between capital and labor, in a country where trade is restrained and labor imprisoned for trivial of- lenses.
 Alabama being now advertised the world over as restraining trade by
