EATON HEARS PROF,
CAMPBELL LECTURE
BOwbells Man is Enthusiastic
Over Talk Given by Noted
Dry Farmer

Elmer Eaton returned Tuesday
frem Tolley where he had the
pleasure of hearing Prof. w. H.
Campbell. the great lecturer on
dry farming, the day before. Mr..
Eaton informed The Tribune that
a tremendous crowd Of farmers
greeted the famous lecturer, and
that the advice he gave on dry
farming carried weight with the
agriculturists, and his system
will without doubt be adopted by
nearly every member of his audi
ence. After the lecture Mr.. Ea-
ton met and talked with Mr..
Campbell and learned that the
professor had all his dates taken
up until about June 1st, and upon
being asked when he could come
to Bowbells to lecture, if called
upon to do so, replied that he
could give US his next open date,
some time the fore part of June.
Mr.. Eaton learned that all the
professor asked as compensation
for lecturing at a place was either
500 cash or 100 subscriptions to
his farm paper, and the paper,
Elmer tells US, sold like hot cakes
at Tolley, and the required 100
subscriptions were raised in a
very short time in the crowd.
Mr.. Eaton suggested that Bow
bells get Mr.. Campbell to lecture
here on his next open date, which
would bring him here about the
time Of the race meet. Many
farmers W 10 would otherwise
stay at home during those days
would be sure to come if Mr..
Campbell was going to lecture.
We think this is a good idea, and

POWERS LAKE MAN
GETS WIFEiTHRU AD.

Minot Independent: Six miles
east of Powers Lake there lives
young farmer, Mike Poteske,
W h o growing tired of eating
Aunt Jemima pan cakes for break
fast 365 days in the year, adver-
tised in an eastern paper for a
wife. The advertisement secur-
ed for him a flood of letters from
damsels Of various ages and de-
grees. From one of the letters
Mike selected the lady most to
his choice and soon an engage
ment followed. It seems that
Mike did not cast his matrimon-
ial net thoroughly over the Powers
Lake country before advertising,
for later, hefound a comely maid
en- near his home who said she
would willingly take Mike for
better or for worse, and the
young swain decided to deal in
the home market and so notified
the young woman in the east.
She would not have it 50, for she
had set her heart on a noble
Young Westerner and before Mike
could turn around, she had arriv-
ed in BoWbells, where she order.

believe that he can be gotten
here without any expense to Bow
bell, as the subscriptions to his
paper asked for could easily be
gotten among the farmers during
the races. Bowbells people should
get together and think this mat
ter over.

ANOTHER RESOLUTION
 ON COMMISSION FORM
Alderman John Williams Thinks COun- ell Assumes Too Much Authority
 in Passing on Question

There are two resolutions on the com
 mission form of government before the
 City Council now. At the meeting of the
 judiciary committee yesterday afternoon.
 Alderman John Williams introduced a
 resolution which he offered as substi-
 ute for Alderman George Huddleston's
 resolution. The whole matter went over
 to the next meeting, but the resolution
 of MT Williams is interesting to say the
 least.
 "Whereas, efforts have been made and
 are being made to commit officially this
 council 10 inducements of proposed and
 of existing forms of municipal govern
 ment; and "Whereas, such inducements would be an assumption of authority in no wise
 delegated by the people, who alone should select their form of government without resentatives they elect to perform cer- tain fixed duties clearly defined; and Whereas, any attempt on the part of this council to dictate form of govern ment for the people of Birmingham to adopt would be gratuitous and presump- tuous; therefore be 1t
 >"Resolved by the City Council of Bir- mingham, That it is unwise and improper for the council to officially indorse or condemn the present, the proposed or any prospective form of municipal govern ment the people of Birmingham have or might be considering the adoption of, the several members of the council reserv- ing the right to pursue such line of &C., ton as their conception of duty to thenl- selves and to the city might prompt them | to do as private citizens"

UNIQUE BRIDLE
Owned Fly pr. F. w. Hall of st. Louis
 Made By Convict

Dr. F. W. Hall of St. Louis is in Bir- mingham this week and has with him a very unique and valuable curio in the form of bridle made of horsehair by a life convict in the Montana state peni- tentiary.
 The bridle is made of hair obtained from Canadian horses and is alternately snow white, bright red and glossy black in parts. The entire bridle is made of hair, with the exception of the bits, and will be on exhibition at Jacobs phar- macy for the remainder of the week. The bridle attracted considerable interest yesterday while on exhibition.
 The headstall, including the throatla,ch, is made of four round cords of red, white and black hair closely and artistically interwoven. The sides, brow and nose bands are flat and are formed of white hair decorated with artistic designs of red and black strands. The reins are round and larger than the throatlatch but made of white and red and black strands of hair. The reins end in whip effect and the ends of the throatlatch and other decorations are tassels of different colored strands of hair. The bridle is valued at $1O0, but is not for sale as Dr. Hall prizes 1t highly

VETERANS IN HURRY
 FOR PENSION MONEY

CANDLER FOR SENATE
Political Gossip Connects C. Murphy CandIer as Strong Candidate-Hoke smith DOubtful-Want More
 Police Protection

Atlanta, January 1S.-(Special.)-T an- nouncement that Governor Brown had de- cided to draw his warrant on Monday, January Is. for the total amount of the state pension fund, sl,14O,00o, was con strued by many of the old veterans to mean that the pensions would be paid immediately the governors signature had been set to the document.
 Consequently quite large number of them who labored under that impression went to the ordinary's office bright and early Monday, thinking their money would be there awaiting them. The same thing happened again today as many still had not reached an understanding of the matter.
 It is reported that there was a similar belief on the part of veterans in other counties of the state and that not a few of them went to the offices of the ordin- aries in the belief that the money was ready for them.
 But there is vast difference betweer .preparedness to draw the warrant fol the full amount of pension money anC the actual paying of it.
 While the money is in the treasury and the governor was ready to pay it out Pension Commissioner J. w. Lindsey was

Police Protection L.cI,nv

Atlantans are crying aloud for more police protection which 1t seems cometh not .i yt
 When Atlanta spread out more than doubling it's area by taking in 14 square miles and adding them to the 12 she already had, it was thought naturally that tLe olice force would be materially increased, but the in- crease has not come.
 All of which is causing no small year 1910 some 30 extra policemen had to be dropped from the force on &C., count of the fact that the departmental funds were exhausted.
 Twice within the last few days young negroes have snatched purses from the hands of women in the early even- ing just after dark and right under electric lights at that.
 An aged woman was knocked down and left unconscious by a negro who ran away with her purse,
 Several men have been held up in dark and unfrequented piaces and robbed at the point of pistol. The thing is getting on the nerves of many Atlantans. especially the | women and those who have ito ro | through unfrequented and badly light ed streets after dark; and not a few who live in the portions of the cit, newly taken in are complaining thai | they never see policeman in their sec. tion.
 The city council had made no pro. vision for any material extension o1 the police department in 1911, though | if something is not done to stop tho numerous robberies tl.ere Is littl, doub, ! that public clamor will shortly insis1 upon such actiQn as will put an end tt them,

 We want a Sales Manager, or yanizer and general agent combined with headquarters in this city, to be our sole representative in Ala bama and Mississippi. Ne want him to devote all his energies to the sales of the famous, quiet-run- ming SANTO-Vacuum Cleaners.
 The market for a high-grade vacuum cleaner IS greater than ever before The demand is growing in leaps and bounds because intelligent people everywhere realize shat vacuum cleaning Is the final step toward perfect sanitation. The plumbing, heating ventilation, etc, may be all that one could desire, but the greatest barrier to sanitary homes-dust and dirt-can be re- moved only by 'SANTO Vacuum Cleaning.

rot ready, because the ordinaries of sew eral counties, ten or dozen in various sections of the state, had failed to send in their rolls.
 Commissioner Lindsey now expects to get in the last of the rolls by the latter part of next week so that he will be able to mail the pension checks to the ordin- aries of all the counties not later than February l. and perhaps a few days ear Her. It will all depend on how soon the deliquent ordnaries get in the remaining rolls.
 In any event the pensioners may look for the checks to be in the hands of the ordinaries ready for distribution by the beginning of the coming month.
 The state will pay out in pensions this year s200,00O more than ever before. this ed to take care of the new pensioners who come in under the service pension amendment to the state constitution
 This will be the first time the states pension payments have ever gone over a million dollars .n a single year.
 Forty-six years after the close of the war the states pension roll continues to increase and the indications are that next year it will be still larger, as the result of additional payments under the service pension act.
 There were nearly 3000 applicants for pensions under the service pension act this year who could not be paid because the appropriation was limited to s20o,o0O for that purpose. Most of these appll- cants have good cases Their applica- tions are in legal form and properly wit messed Thus 1t will be up to the state to make good to them another year

Candler for Senate

Senatorial gossip is now drifting around c. Murphy Candler. a member of the state railroad commission. and for many wears a member of the general assembly from DeKalb.
 Many politicians are inclined to the be- lief that the Hoke Smith faction will put him forward in the effort to beat Senator Joseph NJ Terrell.
 And it is generally conceded even by some of the friends of Senator Terrell that Murphy Candler Is about the strong est available man that faction cold put forward.
 As the time draws on 1t seems to be- come more and more doubtful that Hoke Smith will make the race for the sen- atorship.
 He has unquestionably heard the re- ports which come from various sec tions of the state as have others, to the effect that this or that member of the legislature while indorsing his policies, will refuse to vote for him for senator, because they feel that, having been elected governor, he should serve his term in that office and go to the senate later on. These members, at the same time, or a number of them, say they will vote for a Hoke Smith man for the Senate but not for MT. Smith.
 The indications are, therefore, be-
  Smith will not be candidate
 It is difficult to believe that the Smith faction would support Congressman w. c. Brantley, though there have been some vague reports to that effect; and that faction undoubtedly realizes that it would be at a decided disadvantage in backing either Congressman T. w. Hardwick or Judge W. A. Coyington of Moultrie.
 1f Daf1 road Commissioner Candler has the earmarks of being the most likely solu- tion of the problem.
 Mr. Candler himself has nothing to say on the subject though he has quiet ly admitted to friends that he would not dodge the senatorship should it be thrown toward him.
 MT Candler. however, has had the gubernatorial bee buzzing around him at a lively rate, and has heretofore openly admitted that he proposed to be | a candidate for governor in 1912. | Of course if by any fortuitous cir constance or by a lucky turn of the political roulette, he should land in the Senate, that would leave the field for | governor open to a little argument. l MT. Candlers long service in the leg islature has made him exceptionally strong. While a politician of pro- nounced Hoke Smith views he pro. nevertheless been more liberal both In word and deed than ay of the other leaders of that faction in Georgia poll. | tics
 If. on the other hand. he should TUT | for the Senate and lose out or if he 1 should be left out of consideration ir that contest, he will unquestionably bt | found in the running when the timt | comes around for the election of an l other governor.

EASTERN MILLS
 WILL BE IDLE

Boston, January 1S.-Millions of spndles in the cotton mills of the United States will be idle one-quarter of the time from today until market conditions improve, if recommendation made this afternoon by the Arkwright club is accepted gener- ally.
 The Arkwright club is an organization of the treasurers in mills in Massachu- setts New Hampshire and Maine, many Of which have their head offices in Bos- ton and represents more than 100000 spindles Of the 2S.OOo,0OO spindles in the United States, 15, 6OOOoo are in New Eng land. The attendance at the meeting was the largest in years Several telegrams from will owners in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina were read, telling of the arrangements being made to curtail | the output
 The cotton mills of the country curtailed
 extensively last year because of the high cost of cotton and an indifferent demand
 for goods and the same re lsons are given by the Boston treasurers for their Action | today.
 The resolution passed by the club to-
 day follows:
 "Whereas curtailment of production all ready exists in New England mills to the extent of from 10 per cent to 25 per
 cent in many cases. and a continuation of the increase of such curtailment is ad-
 visable and considered to be inevitable. l Resolved, That members of the Ark wright club present at this meeting strongly recommend curtailment of pro- ducton of at least 25 per cent to begin at once and to continues until market condi- l tons improve and that special commit- tee be appointed to arrange details and | bring about such c,rtailment" | The cotton mills of New England em-
 ply nearly 100000 operatives when all the l ma chinerv is in motion.
