Spring Fever.
rom the Pittsburgh Press

Spring fever-a seasonable complaint
which few people wholly escape-simply
means that the sap in you is akin to the
san in the budding trees in the flowers
Just beginning to stir toward later beauty,
in the CHEEKY, chirrupy birds; indeed, in
all the living creatures on the globe.
Spring was meant for this sort of thing,
and we don't mind saying we think there
is something abnormal about the man
who doesn't let nature have a little rein
for fun and frolic at this teasing time of
year. OF course, it's up to you to pick
your kind of fever Some fellows get the
fishing frenzy in the first warm days. It's
fine. Or maybe your bent the garden.
The sweet smell Of the upturned earth, the
adventure of putting in seeds on a hazard
Of frost or drouth the charm of puttering
around-they're jolly well worth while.

STATE ASKS FEDERAL AID FOR
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF
BATTL E OF HORSE SHOE BEND

morrow before the congressional commit
tee having the bill in its possession by
the Horseshoe Bend battle commission
composed of the governor of Alabama
S. S. Broadus of Decatur and j. B. Ry-
lance of Dadeville
Among the claims of this state on the
national Congress, according to DIR. Owen
Is the fact that the national Congress
has never made an appropria ton to COM
memorate those events which found their
way into American history as a result OF
Alabama's efforts and occurrences inside
the borders of the state. The only rec
ognition Alabama has been given was by
the establishment of the national ceme-
terry at Mobile, in which rest the re-
mains of the soldiers killed in the battle
of Horseshoe Bend.
Dr. Owen and the commission will i'm
press upon the committee on appropria :
tions the importance of the battle which
is regarded as the turning point that re-
moved Alabama from the hands of the
Cherokee Indians and made 1t an undis-
puted territorial possession of the United
States.
The Horseshoe Bend battle commission
will return to Alabama the latter part
of the week, according to information OBJ
tanned at the capitol. The governor will
attend to various matters while in Wash
ington, but expects to reach home this
week. 1t is expected that among other
things, he will use his efforts to have the
Senate take action on Mr.. Glass's ap-
pointment.

IRON WORKER
PLEADS GUILTY
George Davis Arraigned Be-
fore Federal Court in
Indianapolis

indianapolis, December 16.-George e.
Davis, an iron worker, arrested in New
York a few months ago, pleaded guilty
to charge of having conspired to trans
port explosives Illegally, when arraigned
in the federal court here today. Harry
national Association of Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers, implicated by Davis,
pleaded not guilty, but his attorney asked
permission to withdraw the plea If oc-
casion arose later. The date of Jones
trial was not Set and the sentencing of
Davis was deferred.
The indictments against Davis and Jones
resulted from a confession made by Da-
Wis at the time of his arrest. Davis told
federal officers that he had caused a large
number of explosions in structures in
the east being erected by non-union work
men. The charges are similar to those on
which SO union men were convicted here
last December, and it was alleged by
the government were part of a conspir-
acy formed by the men TO dynamite
non-union structures throughout the
country
Since his arrest Davis has been held
in the same cell in the federal building
that was occupied by Ortie r. McN1an-
igal who was principal witness for the
government in-the trial last December.
Jones has been at freedom under bond
of $4,000

Chicago December 16.-Representative
members of the progressive party from
every congressional district in Illinois met
here today and informally agreed that
Frank G. Allen, of Moline. ILL.,, be the

mary ballot only in case no other satis-
factory candidate could ne found in time.

during the day An epitone of the plat
form adopted follows:
Reaffirming faith in the mission and
programme of the party.
welcoming the seeming conversion of
democrats and republicans to the pro-
gressive party doctrine of popular pri-
mares.
Approaching the service of progressive
states in revising the state primary law
and in making it possible for women of
the state to vote for President and mu-
nicipal officers.
Asserting that as candidates are now
nominated a primary elections, state con-
ventions as constituted under the law
should be abolished and conventions con-
ssting of candidates for the assembly
state offices and for Congress supsri-
tuted.
Urging amendment to the primary law
so that representative to national con-
ventions may be in proportion to the
party vote cast in congressional dis
tricts.
Urging the initiative and referendum
Taking the election of judges out of
politics.
Urging eight-hour day for women.
Pedging the party TO nominate candi-
dates throughout the state.
1t was determined to leave the question
of the number of state senatorial candi-
dates to be nominated, in the hands of
the senatorial committee.

eral increase in cloudiness over the gulf
states during the past "a hours, especially
along the coasts. Snow has been fall
ing in the Colorado mountains. Fair
skies with moderate temperatures have
prevailed east of the Mississippi river,
while over the northern and central plains
and mountain sections fair weather. with
temperatures ranging around freezing,
have been general.
With rain falling in western sections
of the cotton belt and rather cloudy skies
extending over the south central sec

cloudiness and rather unsettled conditions
will prevail In this section Wednesday.
Temperatures will probably fail slightly.
