Good Road Meeting

The Good Road Organization
of the Blue Bell neighborhood
will hold meeting at the Blue
Bell school house Saturday even
ing at 8 o'clock p. m. Everybody
in the neighborhood and those
from the city who desire to do SO
are welcome and urged to attend
this meeting. There has been
some grading done and the next
thing to be done is more work
part of which is the preparation
for planting the cane seed which
is to be planted in tracts by the
farmers of that section and the
cane used to bed the road. The
people of this neighborhood are
anxious to get the road in good
shape for the summer hauling and
for the convenience of the rural
route carrier who has such O
stretch of sand to get oyer. The
improved road will not only be OF
benefit to the people living on
the right of way but to the people
miles away who have to use that
part of the country road to get ia
town.

Queer isn't it how certain poll
ticians howl that Governor Hodges
does not respect the civil service
laws. Isn't it funny to hear the
office holder through civil service
declare that politics does not in

all of them at one time either be-
longed to the deposed party or
had influential friends who did.
If vacancy occurs, now in the
service, there is much criticism if
the administration appoints a

dent Wilson for the Mexican stu
alton must bear in mind that this
situation was a sort of legacy to
his administration and that the
former president, Taft had ample
and sufficient time to take up the
matter when he held office. While
neither president is to blame for
the crises yet Wilson should not
bear the burden of criticism for
his Administrative acts. Mr.. Will

A commercial traveller had been
talking his hardest, his most eloquent,
his most persuasive for nearly an hour
to a shrewd old Yorkshire business
man. The old fellow seemed convinced
and pleased, and the traveller thought
he had his fish landed. But the York
shire man said:

him to hear what We have to say. Will
ye COON this afternoon and go over
your talk again."
Certainly, sir, with pleasure" re-
piled the traveller heartily, and at the
hour appointed presented himself
again for the interview with father
md son. Again he went over the
points of the article he had to SELL
forcibly, e~loquently, p~ersuasively
Never had he acquitted himself Of a
finer selling talk"
When he had finished the old York
shire man turned to his o and SAID
enthusiastically: DO you hear that,
Jock? Well, now, that's the way 1
want We to sell our goods on the road"

CONGRESS MAY END SATURDAY
NATIONS LEGISLATORS STRAIN.
ING AT LEASH NOW.
Members Anxious to Get to Political
Firing Lines-WiII Rush Fend-
ing Bills.

Washington. Oct. G. - Members of
congress are preparing for a dash to
the political firing lines. Senators and
representatives alike are straining at
the leash that has held them here con.
%tinuously for IS months and with the
each day, the talk of adjournment eX,
ceeds discussion of the trailing threads
of legislation.
Senator Kern and Representative
Underwood, the majority leaders in
congress, are besieged every few min
utes in the day by their colleagues
with inquiries about the plans for adj
~journment. Senator Kern invariably
replies that the session can be adjourn
ed if the members will stay at their
posts and aid in ~eXpediting the finish
ing touches to the Clayton bill and the
passage of the war revenue measure.
Mr.. Underwood replies hat the house
will complete its work as soon as it
disposes of the Clayton bill conference
report, the Philippine bill and the sen
ate revision of the war tax.
The Philippine bill will be passed
within a day or two and will not be
taken up in the senate.
Some senators are 81 optimistic as
to predict that congress can be ready
TO adjourn next Saturday night.
Republican senators, however, pur-
pose to inject considerable political
discussion into the debate on the war
revenue bill. Already they have be-
gun the attack in speeches by Sena-
tors McCumber. Jones and Smoot.
Whatever %happen9, however, unless
there are unexpected developments in
the war situation to involve American
affairs, the legislators can be speeding
to their campaign activities by Octo-
Der II.
President Wilson told callers last
week that he was satisfied with legis-
lation that had been accomplished and
would not insist upon consideration Of
the Philippine bill in the senate at
this session, nor upon passage of the
ship purchase bill until next winter.
He will not oppose the conference re-
port on the Clayton bill and the meas
ure now seems likely to be approved
as reported, despite efforts Of some
Democrats and Republicans to have it
recommitted.
The action of Democrats of the SEN
ate finance committee in holding rath-
er closely to the provisions of the
house war revenue bill also is expect
ed to help the adjournment situation.
Retention of the bank capital tax,
splitting the difference in the gaso-
line tax with a tax on automobile
sales that will not affect the automo-
bile owner, and minor changes in the
stamp tax, wine tax and special taxes,
it is believed, will be accepted by the
house without demand for a confer
ence.
Another matter to be cleared up is
the Alaska coal land leasing bill,
which has been in conference several
days. An agreement will be reported
this week.

sic with coffee and her experience is

morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except

natural that l should want a hot cup
of coffee about that time. I could
keep awake better.
After three of four years of cof-
fee drinking, / became a nervous wreck
and thought that I simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me In bed for several days.
AFTER being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
almost beyond repair, SO ] resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.

few days felt the languid, tired feel

that answered for the breakfast bev-
