'3-YEAR LAW PASSES
New Homestead Law Now ONLY
Needs Signature Of President
To Become Law.

One week ago yesterday on
March '21st, the three-year home
stead law passed the House of
Representatives. 1t had already
PASSED through the Senate and
now only awaits the sign
ature of the President to become
a law. From press reports we
learn that great enthusiasm pre-
vailed when Speaker Clark, for
the first time took the floor and
argued the passage of the bill.
He pointed out the many benifts
to be derived from the new law
and talked at lenght on the i'm
igration OF settlers to Canada.
We may expect to hear of the
President attaching his signature
to the bill within short time,
when we will endeavor to secure
a copy of the new law for publi-
cation.

A DIVISION MEETING
Is Held Tuesday Evening. Baker
and Ismay Here With
Delegation.

r. L. Anderson and Geo. w.
Rurt of 1smay, R. r. Pearce and
VIM. Lang of Baker comprised a
delegation that visited Ekalaka
last Tuesday evening, bringing
with them the opening can" of
county division dope. After the
regular meeting of the fire de-
partment light lunch was SER
we'd by the entertainment com.
mittce, followed by one of the
Warmest arguments on division
ever heard. The Ekalaka people
were not aware Of the visitors
coming and consequently were
somewhat surprised at the sud.
den arrival, and especially the
proposition they put before our
people. The visitors explained
their proposed boundaries but as
their plans did not take with the
Ekalaka people at that time no
active work was accomplished.
Just what the next step along
division lines will be we are un-
able to state but we await with
interest the action that will be
be taken by our northern friends.
A committee from Ekalaka lett
this morning for Baker to trv
and reach some agreement.

THE trip dldn't agree With him very wei,
and for several days after he arrived
he had to stay in bed. After the hint his new
doctor had received, of course Hopkins
frantic requests for copy of the Revised
Penal Code of Alabama went unheeded. But
after few days he got enough better to be
taken out of the cottage where he was stay
ing and put into big chair out in the warm
sun beside the road. 1t was very pleasant
and peaceful, and he spent several hours
there enjoying it very much. He wanted to
read, especially the statutes; but of course
they wouldn't let him do that. Instead, his
nurse brought him out pack of playing
cards and asked him if he wouldn't like to
play solitaire. He was weak minded enough
for that so he sat there for awhile longer,
playing Garfield.
You see, he had lost track of the days, as
people will during an illness, and it never
occurred to him that it might be Sunday.
Yet that is the day it was. The nurse, of
course came from the North, and knew no
more about the Alabama laws than poor
Hopkins himself. And there he was playing
cards on Sunday morning beside a public

A CLIFTON FRUIT MAN
TELLS Of THE SITUATION

The movement in behalf of pack
ing school and registration of the
packers for the purpose of securing
a more uniform pack of fruit, keeps
on growing.
Mr.. William Harrison, chairman of
the Clifton Farmers Institute, and a
man who won many honors for Cliff
ton at the Fruit shows, makes the
following statement for The Sentinel
regarding the proposed improvements
could the fruit growers of this
district visit the markets of the east,
watch the disposal of the product,
note the better packs from some of
the other districts, note the prefer
ence given to those packs by the buy
ers, they would demand from our as
sociation that improved methods be
adopted forthwith
with additional acreage which
will come into bearing here every
year, it is certain that we must eX-
tend our markets and this will bring
us in competition with the packs pre-
viously referred to.
with fruit equal in quality to any
of the above and superior to most OF
It, why should the growers of the
valley be content to take lower prices
