Jim Mitchell former treasurer of Ward county
VINO IS publishing very prosperous PAPER at
Fairview, Mont, gave his farmer readers some good
advice last week which might be applicable to those
who live in other districts which were not smiled
upon by aair fortune this year. He SAYS: "Stay
by the farm. This is no time to talk of selling
When crop failure stares you in the face il i.
just the time to set your teeth and hang on like grim
death to dead niger The men who weather
the storm, will be the rich of ten years hence
With the present prospects, no one will pay you
nifty cents on the dollar of the full value o. your
property II you sold out today, you would be
giving away five years of good hard labor and say
ings, only to receive little cash with which to start
up again in some place that is Just getting
ripe for crop failure and you would be ready to
sell out again at reduced price so you could butt
into another experience of the same kind Don't
be fainthearted. Suppose you were one of the poor
devils in the city, whose crop depended upon their
weekly salary, and that crop failed how much worse
would it be for you and yours You could not go
into your garden and dig up good square mea,
You could not sit down beside the old cow and ex-
tract the milk for which your children would be cry
ing. In fact you rich compared with what you
would be- If you placed in other circumstances
Hang on!"

HARVARD TO MAKE
 EXCHANGE OF MEN

Paris, March 16.-The French govern ment and Harvard university have reached an agreement providing for the exchange every other year of professors at the Sorbonne and at Harvard, thereby continuing officially the foundation of James H. Hyde of New York, who estab- iished a French lectureship at Harvard in 1898, and an American lectureship at the Sorbonne in 1904.
 N1r. Hyde was greatly pleased when in- formed today of the completion of the ar engagement which places on firm basis the work which he initiated and has carried on. It appears that Harvard and the Sorbonne desire that the American and French exchange shall be placed on the same enduring basis as those of Harvard and Berlin and of Columbia university and Berlin university.
 The ministry of public instruction is deeply appreciatve of MT. Hyde's work, which is considered by the government as having contributed notably to the excel

 Governor Noel cut the visit very short, telling his visitors that he would do the best he could to see that the laws are obeyed and bring the guilty to justice, but he was a very busy man this morn- ing" and seemed to have visions of a strike in the cuisine department next Sun day
 The wearers of the white robes were questioned by the reporter as to what order they represented, and one of them replied: "Taint no order tall; we's just de Lords appointed.

Afternoon Session
 Representative John V. Smiths con- mission government bill for the city Of Montgomery reached the Alabama senate late this afternoon, and passed that body after being amended so as to be almost identical with the commission government bill for the city of Birmingham. All of the amendments suggested by the states chief executive for the Magic City instrument were tagged on to the Smith measure.
 The fate of the Montgomery commis- sion government bill is expected to be identical with that of the Percy meas ure, though passage of the measure is less interesting than the Magic City bill owing to the fact that the governor is not given the appointive power in the Capital City.
 The Montgomery commission govern ment bill provides for three commission CTS, the president of the board to re- ceive a salary of $5OO0 and the two asso- ciates to receive $4500 each. The meas ure also includes the referendum and re- call features.
 With the exception of the passage of this bill, which applies to cities hav- ing a population between 25,000 and 50,0O0, the senate in it's afternoon session passed no bills of more than general interest. A batch of local bills, however, were taken off the calendar upon favorable action of the upper house.

Because of this each measure was passed with great speed, the senators seemingly cooperating to facilitate the business. Senator Screws three bills which fur ther regulate the state prison laws and tho child labor laws were passed without a bohble thereby putting on the statutes, insofar as the upper house Is concerned. such provisions as will enable the prison inspector to thoroughly supervise Jails, cotton fnills almshouses, etc. In this batch of bills is a provision which in creases the duty of the prison inspector, increases his salary and gives him addi- tonal assistance.
 Senator Atkins game law provisions also passed at the morning session, the two bills being designed to furnish better game laws of Alabama.
 Birmingham Bills
 Three bills of general interest to the city of Birmingham passed the senate. the

 The senate was called to order at 103o prayer by the Rev J. M. Dannelly of Montgomery. Twenty-four senators an- swered to their names. Reading of the journal was dispensed with.

 Senator Frazer attempted to have the bill made a special order for later in the week. He lost out in this endeavor by a vote of IA to II.
 Senator Frazer then spoke to the meas- ure, declaring that 1t was aimed at some political officeholders, as he saw it. He said the bill, which seeks to regulate the republican party, was a mere catspaw to draw the chestnuts out of the fire of some political aspirant.
 Senator Sloan stated that the bill was merely intended to forbid federal office holder from holding office on a political committed
 Senator Moody said that he thought the bill unwise. He stated that four years from now another party might be in con- trol, and that hardship, in any event would result.

OF the stats companies present.
It will be remembered that The old
Alexandria company took a large prize
in competitive drills at the fair some
years ago.
In bis letter to the Alexandria COM
pany General Manager Lloys says: AS
there is little doubt but that most OF
the members OF your company will at
tend the fair and as the drills, will take

in friendly competition the other com.
panies OF the state, is one which will
prove attractive to the members oil
your company.
The attractions at the fair this year
will be finer than ever before, and they
