FOR SCHOOL AT RAGLAND Citizens Trying To Provide 400 Acre
 Site in One Body

Ragland, November S-(SpeciaD The proposition of establishing the great in- dustrial school of the Southern Bureau of Education at Ragland is assuming tangible shape.
 The board of trustees for the Southern Bureau of Education has demanded one site of 60 acres in one parcel, for its main buildings.
 This was the hardest proposition Rag land had to comply with. Mass meetings of it's citizens resulted in a proposition to establish this one particular site at the east end of the town. To do this it was necessary to raise an immediate eund of s2OO0, and up to this time of mailing this report the citizens are within $26o of the amount.
 At the last moment Watt T. Berren came with proposition to donate 400 acres in one parcel at the west end cf tho town, provided the east end proposi- ton could not be put through.
 The entire business center of Ragland is wrought up on the proposition and she business men are straining every effort to live up to the requirements of .he Southern Bureau of Education.

Rational Home Remedy
 For Wrinkled, Baggy Skin
(From Life and Beauty

Bathing the face in simple, harm less lotion made as follows, Is the best thing I know of to disperse wrinkles from the finest lines to the deepest crowsfeet: Powdered saxolite 1 oz. dissolved in witch hazel, h pt. Your nearest druggist can supply the con stituents at small cost. It is a natural and rational treatment, as it tends to remove the cause of thees tell tale signs of advancing age. Having both astringent and tonic properties, the solution tightens the too loose skin vivifies and solidifies the underlying muscular tissue This smooths out the wrinkles and gives the skin a firmer supporting foundation.
 Obviously this effect must also re- duce hanging cheeks, double chin and baggy neck. The remarkably prompt action of this lotion Is another com- mendable feature. Those to whom ] have recommended this formula report most gratifying results.-Emily Conl- son.

KAUFMAN WILL
 CONTEST BEGINS

The contest over the will of the late Paula Simon Kaufman, filed by s. Kaufman in the probate court, is be- ing tried befores Judge J. P. Stiles A large amount of property. estimated at something like a million dollars, is in- volved in the contest, and 0 strenuous legal fight is going on to determine It's distribution.
 The will which is being contested was executed by Mrs. Kaufman in Bir-
 mingham in September, 1911. It pro- vides that the property sought to be devised by it shall go to the two sons of the testatrix, Edwin I. and Frank simon, share and sharc alike. None of the estate was devised to MT. Kauf- man, hence the conter> of the will. It is the contention of MT. Kaufman that the testatrix was not of sufficiently sound mind to execute the document and that undue influence was used to
 pursuade her to, make the will. while the devisees insist that she had tes
 tamentary capacity a, the time. The morning session of the court was
 taken up in securing a jury and the
 work was not completed until after
 noon. It became necessary to summo an additional number O. veniremen for the afternoon session to complete the
 jury.
 During the afternoon session tie proponents got in all of their evidence and rested their case and some testi mony of the opposing side was taken.
 S. Kaufman is represented in his ef-
 for to ha wi ax7a Hugh Morrow, M. M. Ullman, Max Winkler, Morris Loveman and Felix Blackburn, while the beneficiaries ur.- der the will are represented by c. p. Beddow, E. H. Cabiniss and s. J. Bowie

 Gardiner Lathrop of the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe railroad advocated extension of the terms of the proposed law to industries other than the railroads. contending that such a course was possi- ble under recent supreme court decisions In this connection he declared the rail- roads had been made the object of too much legislative attack.
 MT. Lathrop advocated the elective rather than the compulsory plan, saying that such an important experiment as the proposed law contemplates should bs entered upon cautiously.

House of Representatives.
4 touching scene occurred in the
house Of representatives a number Of
years ago when an sged member from
New Jersey arose and for the first
time addressed the speaker. All eyes
were turned in his direction as he
stood calmly, awaiting recognition. He
was tall, spare and erect His vener-
able appearance and kindly expression,
coupled with most courteous manners,
at once commanded attention.
As in husky tones he again said
"Mr. Speaker" there came from the
farthest end Of the great hall in q
whisper. but distinctly heard by all,
the words, Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt"
A moment later and from the floor
ana gallery many voices blended in
the familiar refrain, Don't you re-
member sweet Alice, Ben Boltf"
The ovation which Immediately fol-
lowed was such as is rarely witnessed
in the great hall. Business was sus-
pended for the moment and the hand
OF the new member warmly grasped
by the chosen representatives of all
parties and sections. 1t was an inspir-
ing tribute, one worthily bestowed.
The member was Thomas Dunn Eng

way into all languages and touched all
