Great Story To-day
by Reading This
First

TIME opening scene is laid in the
paIatial home of Charles Nelson,
whom the world calls a successful
man. In reality Nelson's money has
caused mis- wife to become a society
leader, so that he gradually finds his
home becoming more and more cheerless
and less like home. He enters his
house to find his only son drunk and at
tempting to kiss Mary Burke, Mrs.
Nelson's secretary. He upbraids the
boy who turns on his father and ac-
cuses him of maintaining another es-
adjustment uptown. Mrs Nelson en-
ters the room just in time TO hear the
accusation Nelson confesses to her
that the charge is true.

Emily Nelson sank into a chair be-

The leaves of the red book cracked

and then threw in plug.

She threw in another plug and then

Committee Refuses Reopen
Hearings on Currency Bill

Washington, Sept. 4.-The admins

both ends of the Capitol Wednesday,.
While representatives of the Ameri-

their criticism of the bill before the
Senate Currency Committee, Republi

made an Intellectual effort to have new

The administration forces on the

RATHER BUY THAN
RAISE POTATOES

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 4.-Despite
the fact that central Alabama has a
soil splendidly adapted to the growing
of Irish potatoes, the late crop which
is now being gathered is so small that
it is not sufficient to supply the de-
mand of the state for two weeks.
Much disappointment is expected at
the state agricultural department
where the principal effort of the past
year has been the preaching Of the doc
trine of diversifcation. Instead OF
planting a variety of crops the farm
ers generally have placed their entire
reliance in cotton. Fortunately the cot
ton crop this year is good and nc
great Inconvenience will be felt a.
money will be plentiful and the farm
ers can AFFORD to pay the price fc

sif1cation is expected next year, how
ever. as even the most sanguine cotto
farmer does not hope for four big co

Stephens, aged nineteen, son of an AL
bany merchant, robbed the grave of
Mrs. Pauline Blum, who was buried
Sunday. Young Stephens last night
confessed.
A workman about the cemetery dis
covered the desecrated grave Wednes-

cred with earth. One finger, together
with ring, was missing, as were 9th

A maid in the Stephens home last
night found the coffin In the cellar.
She notified the family physician, who
secured young Stephens story. He
passed the cemetery Sunday during
the burial service. He thought, he
said, it was a waste to allow the wo
mans Jewels and the coffin to remain
in the grave. Tuesday night he went
alone to the grave, dug up the coffir
and took 1t out.
