KEEPING EWES FLEECE DRY
Protection of Breeding Animal From
Snow Is mportant-Should Be
Given Exercise.
(By PROF. THOMAS SHAWL

tby Il(Ot. IIAOMAS Shaw
The protection OF breeding ewes
from falling snow is important, es-
pecially is it important when it falls
in the form of rain. Winter rains and
also sleet are always cold. If sheep
of the open wooded breed are long
exposed to these, they may do them
great harm. The close-wooled breeds.
as the Merinos, will be harmed much
less, as the water cannot readily en-
ter the wool which they carry. The
shelter provided up to the Landing
season may be of the simplest kind,
providing it will protect from storm
and wind.
The aim should be to give breeding
ewes large liberty in the winter; II
the ground is bare, or even partially,
it will do them good to give them
large liberty. They will make excur-
sions into the fields in search OF
grass, and the exercise will do them
much good They should be allowed
to lie in a wellbedded yard at night.
or in the shed or house adjoining, as
they prefer.
The other necessary attentions in
clude regular feeding, supply of salt
at all times accessible, an ample sup
ply of pure water and yards apart
from those of horses and cattle.

PROMOTION COMMITTEE
AFTER SUMNER TOURISTS

With the winter tourist campaign
practically at an end. the members of
the Promotion Committee at their
meeting this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock,
intend taking up the discussion of
preliminary plans for the campaign
for summer tourists which is sched-
uled to be launched shortly after the
first of the year. Already the 1914
Floral Parade and Mid-Winter Carni-
val advertising has gone out, and the
promotionists feel that an early start
on their part is necessary to get an
increased number of people to visit
the islands next spring and summer.
AS briefly outlined by Secretary II.
P. Wood this morning, the plans for
this campaign will center largely
around the lengthy address lists now
in the hands of the committee The
persons on these lists will be urged
through the medium of literature and
other advertising matter, to visit Ha-
wall, while the various steamship and
railroad companies on the mainland
will be called in to give their coop
GRAFTON. A campaign has been waged
among the bank cashiers, doctors and
ministers on the mainland, and now
the committee intends sending out
hundreds of letters to school-teachers
and college professors in the larger
cities west of Chicago, in the endeavor
to. induce them to come to Hawaii dur
ing the summer vacation. Up to date,
the number of tourist arrivals in Ho-
nolulu since the first of the year is
large one, and the committee believes
that this number may be materially
increased during 1914.

WALLACE ORATOR At
SPRUCE PINE JULY 4
GubernatOrial Candidate
Accepts Invitation to Ad-
dress Franklin Voters

Montgomery, June 21.-(Special)-
John H. Wallace, Jr, candidate for
governor has accepted an invitation to
make a speech at Spruce Pine at a big
barbecue and picnic that will be given
at that place on the Fourth of July.
Spruce Pine is in Franklin county and
a great crowd of people is expected
from the adjoining counties of Law
renee, Winston, Marion and Colbert.
The invitation was extended after
the citizens read Mr.. Wallace's plat
form, and the letter inviting him as
serted that the people of Spruce Pine
and vicinity favored the principles and
policies advocated by Mr.. Wallace, and
the wish was expressed that every man
in the state could see him in person
and hear him speak on his platform.
The principal part of Mr.. Wallace $
speech will be devoted to the educa-
tion of the white children; local option;
regulation of railroads, without ami
hilation; retrenchment and lower taxes;
financial rating for farmers; Confed
crate pensions; efficiency of service;
taking little children out of the cotton
mills; taking the convicts out of the
mines and lumber camps, and employ
ing them in constructing permanent
roads, and other vital social and polit-
ical problems of the hour.
Mr.. Wallace believes that the rail-
road rate issue, since the decision in
the famous Minnesota case by the SUI
preme court of the United States has
perfshed as a live political question in
Alabama. The railroad commission, he
holds, has adequate power to regulate
the rates of all common carriers doing
business within the state.

SOUTHERN WOMEN

Be Named for the Late

Montgomery. June Especial )-Mem-
officers of the woman's auxiliary of the
southern Commercial congress, at a meet
ing here Saturday, voted unanimously to
petition President Wilson and Josephus
Daniels, Secretary OF War to name the
Panama canal fortifcation on the At
lantic ocean for John r. Morgan in honor
of the late Senator Morgan.
The state officers and executive COM
mittee met primarily to arrange a tenta-
tive programme for the meeting OF the
woman's auxiliary which will be held in
Mobile during the convention of the
Southern Commercial congress Miss Jes-
sic Wilson, daughter of President Will
son, was chosen as one of the speakers
and she will be urged to attend and
deliver an address. Committees were APP
pointed to extend invitations to specific
groups and individual southern women
to speak at the meeting.
The state officers of the woman's aux
iiary declared that some credit should be
given Morgan as being the father of the
lsthmian canal, AMI that greater honor
could not be paid than to name the At
lantic fertilization for him. State pres-
dents of the womans' auxiliary were app
pointed by Senator Duncan Il. Fletcher OF
Florida, president of the Southern Com
mercial congress, Mrs. Thomas M. owen
being named Alabama president. Mrs.
owen appointed the following other state
officers Mrs. r. A. Flowers, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. William Il. Martin, secretarya
and Mrs. Louis b. Farley, treasurer.

The Marriage Fee


The marriage fee has been denounced
as graft. not by one smarting under the
necessity of paying it, but by one accus-
toned to receiving it. The Rev. Almer
Fennewel, rector of the Euclid Avenue
Episcopal church of Oak Park, ILL.,, has
decided not to take any more fees for such
service, holding that since the church in
sists that marriage is a church rite it
should make it free to all. The minister
who does not need fee, he thinks, should
be ashamed to take it. while if he really
needs such help it is the turn of the
church to be shamed and promptly to
raise his salary. But is he altogether just
to his fellow clergymen when he says
they stand at weddings with an open
hand behind them? There is no compul-
sion in the matter of wedding fees. If a
discouraged marriage and encouraged i'm
morality, 1t would be another question al
together. Such is not the case. Every
one pays what he wishes, and sometimes
nothing at all. 1t may we'll be asked: Are
clergymen competent to pass upon a mat
ter of this sort? AS every one knows,
marriage fees in many churches go to the
minister's wife. Has ,le dominic a right
to give up what doesn't belong to him :?
Provided he is single man. the Rev. Mr.
Pennewell is quite competent to say that
he will no longer take wedding fees, but
let him not encroach upon the time hon.

manSe.

King, Jr, must spend 10 years in the pen

fled Hawaiian in Baldwin county. Gov
ernor O'Neal today refused to grant pa

ond degree murder, the allegation beins
that he killed the unidentified man after
he had run him in the home of an old
woman and after the Hawaiian had
begged that his life be spared.

of protest from C. r. Erickson of Luverne,
solicitor of the district in which King was
convicted. SO lit may be filed upon the
