he had none. He had to stand out and take the pour as 1t came.
 After the chauffeur had departed there was silence between the reflector and the rejected. It didn't last long, however. At the end of 10 minutes the widow opened the door and called out:
 MT. Ford, am sorry that you are out in the rain
 You ought to be- It Is all owing to that fool-man of yours!"
 MT. Ford, are we in danger of bears?"
 Yes, we are, and I hope ten or twelve of them will come!"
 MT. Ford, are you smoking?"
 Yes"
 What's that noise?"
 Tt sounds like the believing of a bull"
 But will the animal come here and attack us?"
 He may"
 It was a bull, and he had leaped the pasture fence. He came along down NhS uili, DCtlOhiHS dl tN0ly SlildG aLd hoping to find something to demolish, and the widow began to scream and threw the door open to jump out.
 Get back there and stop your noise!" commanded MT. Ford, and his grasp was not gentle as he seized her arm.
 Then he disappeared into the night. There were stones in the road. He felt them under his feet and pelted the bull and started him into a re- treat AS he came sloshing back through the mud and water the widow asked:
 "Mr Ford, don't you think you ought to follow William and ascertain the cause of this delay?"
 No, ma'am, I don't!" he promptly answered.
 Then will follow him myselfl"
 "Then you will stay right where you arel If William isn't the biggest fool in the state he has crawled under a haystack somewhere and won't be seen until daylight"
 That settled things for a long half hour Then the tonneau door opened and a soft voice said:
 MT Ford, please come nearer. You loved me, didn't you?"
 Yes" he sulkily admitted.
 You asked me to marry you, and I refused I refused because I had not read you aright I am willing to admit that I was entirely mistaken in your character"
 "H-how?"
 T took you for sissy, like my late husband-awfully good, but a sissy. I didn't know that you were aggressive. I didn't believe you'd dare face bel lowing bull, even by daylight, with a six-rail fence between you. I couldn't have been made to believe that you would dare order me about Tonight you have .hown me my errors. Oh. how mistaken I have been,"
 Then why don't you say you are coming in here beside me and order me to move along? It seems to me we ought to have a talk--a new talk"
 And soon after daylight, when the chauffeur returned with a farmer and a team he saw the widows sleepv head resting on Mir ForG's shoulder and lost his presence of mind and stepped back to eXclaim:
 Well but who'd a-thought it?"

CAPITALISTS HAVE
 EYES ON THE SOUTH

Montgomery, August 21. 1.s-fSpecial.) In the opinion of Paul Whiting, prominent business man of Montgomery, who has spent the past four months on visit to eastern points of the country, and who touched upon the middle west in his tray els, the south is the great land of op- portunity. Mr. Whiting bases his obser- vations upon the numerous inquiries which he received relative to the south on his absence from Montgomery. He says that the inquiries are all coming from the leading capitalists of the coun- try. who appear willing and anxious to extend their operations into this section of the country.
 Throughout New York, New Jersey Connecticut and neighbortng states MT Whiting says, 'the greatest imaginable interest is being manifested in the south while from all sources comes the opin- ion that greater opportunity is to be found beneath the Mason and Dixon line than above it. Capitalists everywhers are recognizing that the best field fol their investment is in the south. anc they are only awaiting an opportunity to place their surplus funds as judiciousiy as possible
 MT. Whiting Is recognized as one ol the electric light experts of the coun try, having for a number of years peer identified as manager of the Cittzens Light, Heat and Power company. Iaik
 ing shop, MT. Whiting stated that he found many interesting electric nsntlne phenomena in his travels, but that Tn nc city in the United States did he find thu excellent lighting facilities which abound in Montgomery.
 1T found that competition among rival electric companies in Montgomer, and in the south keener than In an, city of the north which visited. thought that would be able to gather few pointers from Chicago Indian apolis. New York. Providence, Atlantic citv and other places, but after pur. suing this study in the above mention ed cities came to the conclusion tha1 the light promoters could come te Montgomery, to learn the art of selling light.
 ..The electric light game Is undoubt edly faster in the south than in any other part of the United States"

APPALLING IS LOSS IN PS,SAyS KO[B Department of Agriculture
 Gets Information
 Straight

Montgomery, August 21.-(Specfal)- Answers to inquiries which he made Of a dozen farm demonstrators of Ala bama, Captain Ruben F. Kolb, commits sioner of agriculture of Alabama, has been informed that the deterioration of the cotton crop since July 20 has varied anywhere from 5 to 35 per cent. The average deteriorating from in formation furnished the commissioner. Is from 20 to 25 per cent, though sew eral of the reports have placed the aver age crop loss as high as 45 per cent of what was promised one month ago. A full. list, of the counties is now being prepared by the commissioner to off set reports which have been given cur rency to the effect that the crop has deterforated very slightly.
 "As a matter of fact" the commits sioner stated today, the loss is noth ing less than appalling. The farmers are bound to suffer because of their inability to raise what was expected. My personal inspection of cotton in two- thirds of the counties of Alabama during the past three weeks convinced me that the moist weather, as well as the crop of insects, have done almost untold damage"

phoric Acid combined and Potash 1914 per
cent from a total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half Of Phos-
plate Of Potash.
Analysis Of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (which join and make Phos-
plate of Potash) Is considerable more than
one-half Of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements of the body, says: The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic c~ellsalt, Potassium Phos-
plate phosphate of Potash. This salt unites
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter OF the
brain. OF course, there Is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law Of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir Of life."
Further on he says: THE beginning and end
of the matter Is to supply the lacking principle,
and In molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain. 70
supply deiciencies-this Is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion Is that IL Phosphate
OF Potash is the needed mineral element In
brain and you use food which does not contain
1t, you have brain fag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, IL yo1 eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-bvilding.
Mind does not work we'll on a brain that II
broken down by lack of nourishment.
A peaceful ana evenly poised mind is neces-
sary to good digestion.
