and hat trimmings. 1t requires only a
few minutes time and a little ingenuity

two loops that measure three inches from
end to end, leaving the lower loops one.
half inch longer than the upper ones

MASON TELLS A
GREENHORN STORY

Charles T.. Mason of the Walk Over
Shoe company tells the champion ''green-
horn story Here's the tale as he
tells it. A&4 as
Twenty odd years ago was a cowboy
out in Texas, We drove big bunch of
cattle into the st. Louis market one fall
and the morning we got there couple of
us cowboys walked up from the stock
yards to a cafe in the edge of town or
breakfast. We were standing in froE,
of the cafe when a street car came along.
! had never seen ar electric car before
but | had read of them and seen num-
Der of newspaper GIFTS of electric ears.
"Of course. | was very much interested
In fact, so engrossed / didn't think of my
companion cowboy He soon attracted
my attention, however The fellow had
never seen or heard of an electric car
and thought 1t was a steam road car
broken loose from train and running
wild. He caught UP a big wooden Indian
sign standing in front of the tobacco
store, ran across the street and threw it
across the track, scotching the car
THAT trick struck me as being about
the funniest stunt a man ever pulled off,
and when / told the boys back on the
ranch about 1t they made the poor fell

Ing conducted on the part of the state
by III. Y Brooke, examiner of public
accounts. between S150,000 and $2a0. 1000
will in all probability be stricken from
the states pension rolls.
The report of Mr. Brooke is certain
to create sensation. He has found
that many pensions have been paid by
the state to parties whom the records
declare to have been unworthy.
In a letter to The e-Herald Mr..
Brooke, having been asked for informa-
ton, said;
THE later findings increase the
amount which Alabama has paid to un-
worthy applicants for pensions. I can
not state how much longer I will be
engaged on the job. Reports have al
ready been forwarded to the governor,
and work of correcting the payrolls is
under way"

JELKS URGES AID IN
DEM0CRACY'S FIGHT
Has No Information on Re-
spon Made by Alabama to
Appeal for $500

As far as ex-Gov. William d. Jelks
knows. the call for funds on the part
of the campaign committee of the ma
tional democratic executive committee,
has not up to the present time, en-
countered fiattering responses.
The campaign committee was organ
lied for the purpose of conducting a
never ceasing campaign in the interest
of democracy. The first big fight will
be Joined in the congressional cam
paigns of next year when an attempt
will be made to destroy the democratic
majority in the branches of Congress.
Alabama has been asked to contribute
its prorata of $500 of a general fund
of $4,000.
There is no question:" stated Mr..
Jelks yesterday, but that the demo-
Gratis will need a large sum of money.
The people were requested to send their
contributions to Rollo Wells, Hibbs
building, Washington. l cannot say
whether any money has been forwarded.
AS soon as I hear from Mr.. Wells,
will endeavor to help him out.
"A bitter fight in all probability will
be waged against democratic congress-
men next year. We should be prepared.
Literature setting forth the real state
of affairs should be disseminated. 9th
erwise, the majority in Congress might
be lost.
I'VE must retain ourselves in the sad
die. Should we lose the congressional
elections, we would in all probability
lose the presidential election in 1916.
There is no question but that we will
be confronted with the necessity Of
making a big fight for the supremacy
of the party in national and interna-
tional affairs"

BROOKE'S REPORT MAY CUT
$15OOOO TO 100000 FROM
STATES PENSION ROLLS
Understood Examination Of Records in Washington Dscoses
Many Unworthy Confederate Pensions Being Paid in Al.
bama-Data is Being Forwarded to Governor O'Neal

Mr. Brooke states that there are
records in Washington by means of
which he can learn just how each pen
sioner in Alabama served the cause of
the Confederacy. He has found that
some are drawing pensions who de-
serted. some who swore allegiance to
the federal government, and others who
saw no service at all. The LAY outs
are recorded.
When the report of Mr.. Brooke is
made public, and certain names are
Topped from the roll, that there will
occur a state wide sensation, is gem
orally predicted. The pay roll, it is
estimated, will be decreased from $780,
600 to 100000.
As result of the decrease, it is
figured that whereas now the old SOL
diers' money generally is exhausted by
the conclusion of the third quarter,
there will be money for the entire four
quarters. Alabama will therefore be
enabled to honor the old Confederate
veteran whose record is good, and at
the same time clear the ranks of the
unfaithful.
