BESSEMER SIGNS
 PITCHER WELSH

Manager Gordon Hickman announced yesterday that he had signed Oscar Welsh, well known local ball player. to pitch for the Southeastern team. Welsh has fine Reputation and is said to be one of the cleverest amateur pitchers that ever twirled on the Birmingham lots. He is a left handed twirler with plenty of speed and nice line of curves.
 Manager Hickman will also twirl for the Bessemer boys. as he is somewhat or a youngster himself, being but 27 years old. Hickman is rather small, but he has lot of speed and curves. and when he is right 1t Is mighty hard for any team 10 down him. Besides pitching he can also play in the outfield.
 The number of signed contracts is in- creasing day by day. and it is probable that over % men will be carried until May 1, when the club must cut down to 12 men. It is probable that about half of the players will be local boys. for a large number have already been signed by the manager.

BAUMGARDTNER IS
 AGGIES' COACH

Robert Baumgardtner who has recent ly signed up with the Besemer team in the Southeastern league has gone to AL bertville, where he will coach the AL bertville agriculturalists. Baumgardtner was sent to that city instead of Gordon Hickman, who was unable to take the trip. He will be in Albertville until April 1, when he will report for work with the Bessemer squad.
 Baumgardtner was captain of the Uni versity of Alabama team in 1911, and was a star at shortstop. He received most of his ball training under Doe Pollard, who is considered to be very clever man. Baumgardtner is splendid batter and fielder and should be able to show the Agriculturalists lot about the game.

 q am advised that the city has been rec eiving from s750 to 5000 per year under the terms of the substituted section 13. but has been paying an average of about s17O0 per year for heating, which under the original section 13 was to be furnished free as the consideration for the frap- elise.
 Ut further appears that the present heating business of the company would have to about double before the revenue received under the substituted section would equal the cost of the heating to be furnished free under the original fran chise.
 City's Total Payment Proceeding under the terms of the sub stituted section 13 the city did not collect the stated per cent on gross earnings for the first five years of the franchise, dur ing which time it paid sS250 for heating the city hall and jail. Commencing with the expiration of the first five years the com- pany has been annually paying the per cent on gross earnings in accordance with the substituted section 13, but during this time 1t has collected from the city for ..-...-..s seisIce in excess of what it has paid the city under the substituted section l3, the sum O Sbout s90o-pAr " {. making a total of about s11,S50 in over- payments for which the city Was not legally liable.
 Tt might also be mentioned that the value of said heating service for the city hall and jail for the term of 8 years. at the prevailing rates, would be from $4O.000 to S50,000, which is in addition to tine an nual license of S50c0 collected on said busi- ness until the enactment by the legisla- ture last year of section S6-F of the reve- nue bill"

I sent the base runner back to first declared the batter out for leaving the lines of his box, and thinking that the catcher ought to be punished in some way, levied a fine on him for the part he had played in the unusual happening. Had he not foolishly tipped the bat of the batter, there would have been nothing to the play, except to call the batter out, and send the runner back. His foolish tipping of the bat tangled the affair up badly.

June 21 will see several hundred la

Springs as they are on their way to
attend the National Federation of
Woman's S clubs in Los Angeles. They
will be here for two hours and the club
ladies of the western slope are arraug-
ing to show them gala time while
here. They will be given free berries,
a free swim and free dance if they
wait until the moon is shining. 1t is
said an effort will be made to keep
them here through the night that they
may see truly western dance on the
public street such as Glenwood gives
her visitors at the annual Strawberry
carnivals. The carnival will last two
days this year, beginning June 81 and

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured bv Vinol

6 Sol GU ny lIlOl
New Haven, Conn., was troubled
with a most persistent chronic cough
for long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that was discouraged. l was
persuaded by my friends to try VI
mol. After taking the second bottle,
my cough left me, and | must say I
never felt better in my life. | can al
SO recommend Vinol to any one in a
rundown condition as the best possi-
BILE remedy"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods liv-
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonic
iron which makes Vinol SO efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same time building
up the weakened, rundown system.
Try bottle Of vinol with the un.
defstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.

WARN THE PUBLIC
AGAINST THE TWISTERS

The state insurance department ha,
issued bulletin enlightening the pub
lie and policy holders on the subject
of "Twisting.' "Twisting' is de-
fined as changing from one company
to another, or from one policy or CON
tract to another, even as between au-
thorized companies. The person who
tries to induce the policy holder to
change is called 'twister.'
As rule he represents himself as
an insurance adviser and expert and
offers greater immediate benefits than
those under the policies already held,
with the assurance of having to pay
a much smaller price.
The insurance department character
most cases pure fake.
''When you allow yourself to he
thus twisted by an agent or alleged
expert ADVISER the bulletin reads,
''you are simply paying to someone \
second commission on the same buSi-
ness. Every time a policy holder s
induced to drop one policy to take up
another he is only paying duplicate
commission for the same service in ad-
dition to paying a larger premium,
even if it be apparently less in dollars
and cents, because each man, entering
at given age, pays for the risk car
ried practically an equivalent in pre-
miums regardless of plans, when tine
profits paid are considered -
In this connection the department
warns the public against one Willis 4.
Case, who, it is alleged, represents him
self as an insurance adviser and ex-
pert. He is said to have been former
" associated with the Knight Audit
and Abstract company.

WHY NOT IN THIS VALLEY?

The drying of potatoes is growing
industry of Germany, one of the great
potato countries of the world. Within
the last five years potato drying plants
have been developed which have a com
bined yearly capacity of nearly 25,-
100000 bushels.
There are two methods in vogue by
which the vegetables are converted
into products that may be used as a
substitute for the fresh potato or mixed
with other cereals in bread making, etc
The business has large future and
represents heavy investments.
Colorado offers opportunities for an
industry of this kind not excelled in
Germany. As one of the greatest po-
tato producing states of the union, II
Is especially fortunate in advantages
for those who might invest in this
undertaking. That the United States
government is not blind to these OPP
portunities may be seen from the fol
lowing statement regarding potato
drying recently issued by the depart
ment of agriculture:
"It appears that this industry ma
be applicable to the United States,
especially where the question of
freight is one of importance, for the
weight of product is reduced to one
fourth
"'It should enable our western states
to utilize the advantages they have for
potato growing, both as a money crop
and as cultivated crop in the rota-
tion to prepare the land for wheat and
other grains.
Furthermore, the machines could
be used for drying sugar beet pulp,
beet leaves and other similar products.
as it is in this way that the German
beet sugar factories conserve Their
pulp, mixing it with small quantity
of molasses for stock feed. a part of
which is exported to the United
States.'
Here is a subject which potato
growers of this state may well consider.
