Soil Analysis Proves County

With Heavy Docket

Talladega, May Especial )-The
soil analysis has shown that Talla-
dega is in the Alfalfa belt, and sew
within the corporate limits of the city
has shown the doubling ones that this
important crop can be easily grown
here. Lime is an essential to alfalfa,
but the price of it by the barrel de-
l1ivered here is too high. For this rea-
son capitalists are looking to the Sc
curing of lime deposit within two
miles of the city, which in former
years was developed and successfully
worked.
A large crowd watched the wrecking

The Alabama Power company has
recently purchased a large auto truck.
AS the driver was steering the truck
across the square Wednesday he was
stopped by a policeman, who contended
that the wheels of the truck damaged
the paving, and that the truck must
not be run over the paving. This de-
Iveloped quite a deal of comment both
pro and con. Some contended that If
the paving was not able to stand the
wheels of an auto truck, 1t was unfit
for the purpose of paving while 9TH
ers insisted that no one had a right
to drive a machine over the highways
that would injure the roadbed. The
tion being definitely settled The claim
made by the police was that the

auto truck dug holes in the asphalt

Sunday, November 90, the death an
gel entered a happy home and took
sweet and lovable Rosalind, an only
and idoliZed daughted of Eugene and
Mamma Wells. The saddest of the
death was that 1t was from the dread
disease diphtheria. No relatives,
friends or schoolmates were to see
her and the friends were many, for to
know Rosalind was to love her. She
always had smile and pleasant
word for everyone which has won her
friends among old and young. She
will be missed not only in the home
where the vacant place can never be
filed, but every where. When those
dear schoolmates enter the school
room where she was bright scholar,
they will see the vacant seat and on
the play ground that cheerful voice
will never be heard again. There are
left to mourn her loss, father, mother
and one brother, and many relatives,
who have the sincerest coincidence
and sympathy of friends and neigh
bors.

mas seals. In 1909, Mr.. Ris' interest
was aroused by the receipt of a
Christmas tuberculosis stamp on a
letter from Norway. He published an
article about this queer-looking stamp
in the Outlook and suggested some
possible uses for 1t in this country.
Miss Bissel at once saw an oppor-
tunity here and prepared a stamp,
from the sale Of which her society
realized $4,000 for tuberculosis work.
So impressed was she with this sue
cess that she induced the American
Red Cross to take up the sale in 1908
on national basis. With very little
organization and with hardly any at
tempt at careful advertising, the sale
that year brought In, nevertheless.
over $135, 900 for anti-tuberculosis
work in various parts Of the United
States. In 1909, with more thorough
organization, the sale was increased,
to s230,0O0; in 1910 to nearly $780,
600; in 1911 to over s330.000, and
over 4O,OO0,00o seals, netting 100000,
were sold last year.

RED CROSS SEAL rs
NOT NEW PROPOSITION
Stamp Idea Originated Back In 1862
When They were Sold for
Soldiers Benefits.

Nearly $1,500,o0O has ben raised by
Red Gross Christmas seals in the last
five years, and yet many people do
not know how this charity stamp
idea originated.
Some Of your grandmothers first
played "postoffice" with stickers sim
liar to Red Gross seals way back in
1852, when they conceived the idea
of selling stamps at fairs for the
ibentfit of the relief funds for the sol
diers hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston
and elsewhere. Nearly S1,0O0,o0O was
raised in this way before 1865. After
the war, this method Of raising money
was discontinued in this country for
a generation, although 1t found vogue
! in Portugal, Switzerland, Austria,
| France, Spain, Denmark, Norway,
Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now thousands
of different types of charity stamps
used in all parts OF the world, as
many as forty being used in Austria
/ for children's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. To Jacob Rils, the well-known
social worker of New York, and to
Miss Emily P. Bissell, the energetic
secretary of the Delaware Red Cross,
