and the northern lakes. but throughout
the interior of the country unusually
cloudless conditions prevailed.
The general fair skies and the slight
movement of the barometric area have
combined to cause slight but general
rise in temperatures during the past "a
hours Z p. m. readings were nearly
constant over all sections of the country.
Only in southern Texas were tempera-
lures in excess of so degrees, and In only
a few places were readings recorded be-
low freezing. In general the range was
from sc to 46 degrees and occurred ire
spective of latitude.
The sluggish movement of the central
area should cause continued rather cool
weather in the southern states. and the
map tonight gives no indication of any
unsettled weather within the next ou
hours. Fair weather with slowly rising
temperatures should continue wednesday.

A Trip to Washington to the Winner
BY MRS. J. B. REID

Walker Lee Dunson of Alexander City
spent day in the city on his way to
Washington, d. C.
He goes as the guest of Alabama for
10 days visit. He won his trip by hard
work. The agricultural department of the
state offered this visit to the boy who
raised the greatest amount of good corn
on an acre of ground, and young Dun
son was successful His crop amounted
to 232 bushels and 80 pounds. He is IA
years old, well grown and a splendid
specimen of the farmer boy
He was taking in the city-its sky
scrapers and the follSs-and this MORN
| ing he Joined the prize winners from
the other southern states for Washing
ton, and the party will enjoy the outing
together. When asked If his purpose was
to make farming his business through
life, he hestated moment and said it
was hard work" He had cultivated one
acre by himself, only had help in gath
erfng the crop, and SO soon over he could
not imagine himself signing for more land
to plow.
But when he gets back home, tired from
sightseeing, 1t is to be hoped his trip will
have only stimulated his desire to grow
crops through life. This is the mistake
many young men make, who have been
raised on the farms They see the city
with its people moving to and fro, and
they imagine 1t is all fun. They do not
realize the ms and outs of the city boy
are even more tedious and more fatiguing
than the boy who tills the soil
The call to the country has been an
swered by many a young man who has
tried the city and found it hard work.
to combat with the requirements of bus
mess, and often his profits are consumed
by the boarding house and washerwoman.
So he has turned his face to the fields to
gain independence by the most healthful
sweat of the brow.
Alabama and the south are doing a
encouragement by instructing him in
modern methods for the profitable in
vestment of his time. The demonstration
agents are great source of helpfulness
to the farmer, especially the small acre
farms. They are being taught the system
OF fertilizing and of routine crops, the
art of living at home When the young
boys begin to- catch these methods and
organize, as has been done In the corn
clubs, and the young women In the to-
mato clubs, 1t means a higher valuation
to the lands, and a greater growth of
industry over the state. 9The idle lands
will be rebuilt and combined with the
facilities of the parcel post, market con-
ditions will be better for the city, while
the farmer will have the opportunity of
supplying the demand.

Committee Appointed to
Confer With Company
on Proposition

Gadsden, December 9.-(Special.) AFTER
a warm discussion of rates on electric
lights in Gadsden, the Chamber of Com
merce last night decided to appoint COM
mittee to confer with the local manage
men to endeavor to secure lower rates.
The residence rate on lights is 16 cents a
kilowatt which, it Is claimed, is much
higher than that of nearby towns. The
plan of the electric company to run trans
mission lines through some of the streets
also was discussed. Although the petit
ton asking President Wilson to have suits
gainst the United States Steel corpora
ton dismissed was discussed, no action
was taken. An effort to have a resolution
passed asking the governor to call an ex-
ira session of the legislature failed.
The trial of Oner Coffey will begin in

talla of George Burgess. The defense will
claim that the shooting was accidental.
Figures just compiled regarding the ice

and 357 gallons of milk during July, which
